Pardo wouldn't say exactly when Blizzard would reveal the remaining two classes, and he joked that they'll reveal them when they figure out what those classes will be. But we should expect the last two to be revealed next year, and he repeated something that he told us yesterday when we talked about StarCraft II; Diablo III will ship after the first of the StarCraft II games ship.

Now now... I know this is a Diablo 3 forum. But I was wondering if anyone else thought about how Starcraft 2 is getting split up into 3 different games is a massive failer. Kinda really just seems greedy to me. But I guess at least they did say diablo 3 will be released before Starcraft 2 Episode 2 is released

Well, I don't know about you people but I was pretty excited that hardcore was in fact coming back (It was a sigh of relief). Just with all the twist and turns that blizzard is taking with this game and kicking certain features out.

One thing I hope they implement when it comes to pvp. Is an iron man feature. Encase you don't know what an iron man tournament is heres the breakdown.

4-8 People per game.
Must make a new hardcore character.
Everyone goes through the game to get to level 9.
You can only use the items that you find in game while leveling.
When level 9 is reached everyone duels either FFA or in brackets.
Potions arn't allowed.
Last man standing is the IRON MAN!
It was such a blast to do in Diablo 2 I hope they do something to bring this back.
It would be so much fun.

s for my other thoughts: I am extremely thrilled to hear that Hardcore setting will be in the game! :thumbsup: Eliminating the hardcore setting would of been disasterous to me.

I hope they add something for Iron Mans... Or have tournaments for them that would be sweet.

Ya... 10-12 was probably over the top... I just didn't think they would go backwards... that's what I was trying to point out...

Zakarum Knight... Geeze that is such a cool sound class... I hope they add a "Knight" class that would be sweet...

But who said everyone is going to get a drop from a boss? That's what I was getting at.

i bet they settled on 4 players because
1. there are only 5 classes.. they don't want there always to be multiple players with the same class in a full game
2. 8 players = 8 drops per boss...that might be a little too much

Just because theres 8 players in a game doesn't mean everyones going to get a drop from a boss...

Ya, well who didn't see that one from a mile away... I mean come on... Am I right or am I right?:rolleyes:

Ya but there's something like 52 skills right now for the wizard. PLUS runes customize your skills even further.

As for life leeching, so far we know WD and Barb have life-leeching and WD has mana-leeching spells. In combination with health and mana orbs (yes, there are mana orbs) - any other means of lifeleach would be poinless. Your survavability doesn't rely on your ability to click fast like a monkey and replenish health anymore."

Life leech (On items) might be taken out... they express that it was to difficult to balance at this point in the game.

As for the 4 player max thing... It isn't a definite... so get on the blizzard main forums and express your feelings on how 4 players max is to low and a happy medium would be 6.

Well, this is our moment to complain about something that hasn't been added yet. Everyone that disagrees with it get on the B.net forums and post your opinion. Maybe we will be able to change their minds.

Well look at it this way the inventory thing you can live without. You aren't going to quit playing a game for that kind of reason that ridiculous.

I must admit the auto stats thing is pretty lame... but they have their reasons...
The whole rune thing being able to customize your skills thing is fucking awesome... that's innovative

As for the skill tree... what if all the skills you get from level one are good skills?

As for the respeccing thing... ya you're right totally care bear... but its not something to not want to play a game for...

Now for the graphics, don't know what to say on that one. I for one didn't like them at first, but now I do especially with the wizard the spells look awesome.

They just kinda grew on me... I hope they do the same for you.

Sojs and runes were lame anyway...

OMFG... dude leader its going to be a Cleric... I bet 20 bucks on it.
