    posted a message on BlizzCast 8 nearly done and it's "almost entirely" about Diablo 3!
    If everyone must know, it was me who wrote the post on the forums! ^_^

    I noticed the SC2 Forums and figured Id just give it a shot. I'm really not a pushy person, just smart :D

    posted a message on Mana Globe Drops?
    For all the people that worried if Mana globes were going to be scarce to the Wizard later in the game, heres the answer if you havent already heard it. Maybe this will put some end to the topic!


    "1UP: In creating this game, would you say that the character classes and their powers drive the rest of the game, or are their powers created as a result -- or solution -- to problems presented by the game? JW: Probably the best way to describe it is that initially, when we're doing skills for a class, we're not thinking anything except "what makes this class awesome? Why do I care about this guy?" Then you say, "Because he can hit the ground and create a small localized earthquake that destroys everything in front of him." That sounds pretty awesome; that sounds like a guy that I'd want to play. So early on, that's really our fixation: What is going to make this class sing? But that only really drives the first half-dozen skills. After that, we start getting into what mechanics have we put in the game that we want this class to take advantage of. For example, with the Wizard, we gave her a passive skill that causes enemies to drop mana orbs -- just like health orbs. So that's a mana-recovery mechanic for her; it plays into her resource and plays into the health-orb system. "

    posted a message on UI pics soon!! (Hopefully...)
    Someone posted UI photos on the Blizzard forums and Bashiok replied with this in the thread!

    "Moderated Thread -

    Photographs were prohibited in the Diablo III play area at BlizzCon, and anyone posting links to pictures taken of the monitors in the play area is subject to having their forum privileges immediately and permanently revoked (not this time, it's just a warning). So please don't do it. In addition, any websites hosting the images will be contacted to have them removed.

    We will be releasing more screenshots in due time, including those of various UI elements and windows that haven't been made available before. We ask that you respect our wishes in not perpetuating any unauthorized photographs, and report any threads doing so by clicking on the biohazard symbol.

    Thanks.

    posted a message on Next batch of Info?
    Any predictions as to when we will see more info? When I say more info, I mean more than a screenshot or artwork piece.

    Is it actually possible for them to release any vital info WITHOUT doing it in front of an audience (Blizzcon, WW event)? I'm just curious to what others think...:)

    posted a message on New GAMEPLAY w/ Interview!

    1UP: Can you talk about the state of the classes? For example, is every class -- even the two that you have yet to reveal -- playable in the game right now? JW: No. The fourth class is playable in game but is using a placeholder model -- one of an NPC, actually. And all of the skills are what we call "programmer art" because we haven't implemented actual skill effects. So that one is just in gameplay testing for us while we determine signature skills. The fifth class, we're just about finished concepting it and are about to start building it. We can't use placeholder art, so we're now just going to build a model and start working on the first series of skills for that one. We're actually spending more time on the Witch Doctor, Wizard, and Barbarian because of a big change we made to the skill system that we wanted to [integrate them] with -- so it's mostly just artwork that's going on for the other two classes.


    That saddens me... gotta wait longer now for a new playable class...

    http://www.uploading.com/files/P99V44VB/di3screen.jpg.html

    What are the 3 icons on the left of the screen and the rectangular white box in the bottom right? Can't seem to get a close up shot of them. If someone could help me out that'd be great! :)

    EDIT: Sorry about the 90 second wait on downloading... :(

    Straight up... the auto stating was probably just for the demo. No need to get your panties in a bind.
