seems like too nerdy and comic like addition. They should have added something dark or mystical like the necro or assassin was in D2. Its just my opinion, relax.
I'm cool with opinions but you didn't provide one in your first post. Saying that something sucks isn't enough, you need to provide something constructive to an argument or you're just clogging up the interwebs.
Like a necro or an assassin eh? Because that would be way less 'lazy' than coming up with a monk class....

Thurk posted a message on New Diablo 3 Character Class: The Monk!Posted in: NewsQuote from "Siaynoq" »So far I've yet to hear any well thought out criticism of the Monk. The basic overall thing I'm hearing is that it's unoriginal? Like, it's just the name of the class some of you have a problem with? So nevermind that his skills and lore could be something totally original. But because he's called a Monk we're gonna write him off.
Oy, I don't think I can get any more constipated than I am now. Some of you have the strangest sense of entitlement. And I'm all for criticism, I really, really am. But fuck me, the things some of you come up with.
Hear, hear.
It's this new generation of internet kids. For some reason they feel like once they're behind an uber-cool screen name (with the year they were born at the end of it of course) it is their god-given right and duty to whine about everything they read. Everything. -

He will obviously use magic and some maybe mind controlling crap and thats it. Seriously though, they could have come up with something MORE original than "monk". sounds lazy.
OK Hotshot. Like what? -

Way to not use facts though.
The complainers don't deal in facts. They're like my 60 year old Italian aunts who sit around for entire afternoons complaining about everything they can think of. Even the fact that they just sit around complaining. They complain about that more than anything I think. -

Thurk posted a message on New Diablo 3 Character Class: The Monk!Posted in: NewsQuote from "alec89" »Ok guys. I'm going to have to agree with many other people here. This is disappoint. I think blizzard are out of ideas for some new creative, never-seen before characters. So they throw in a monk. The name sounds boring, just too many magic based characters" Monk, witch doctor and that other character, I even forgot what it called but i know its also magic based. Blizzard is running out of ideas. They could have thought of something mroe interesting. I think they just threw it out there like they dont care. They're not passionate about the game, it seems. Its a let down. :(. I hope they can redeem themselves with the 5th character.
That's your first post? You created an account just so you could whine about the new character?
I love these comments because I would love the see the brilliant ideas people like 'alec89' would come up with.
Next person to whine about the Monk better come up with a reasonable alternative or they're getting virtual-smacked. -

Thurk posted a message on New Diablo 3 Character Class: The Monk!Some people make criticisms based on absolutely nothing. Watch some trailers and check some screenshots before you come out with your WoWhining.Posted in: News
Some people refuse to get excited.
I think they're the kids whose parents told them they were going to Disneyland when they were actually going to the Dentist or Grandma's. Totally crushed their ability to just sit back and be excited about something that will be truly awesome. Sad. -

What did you expect? Robot monkey who shoot lazer beams from their eyes? And then they shapeshift into huge rhinos who go rampaging around the screen trampling everything in their path while shooting even more lazers from their horn?! Is that what you expected?!??!
Hmmm.... can't say I blame you. -

Sweet, he's got some kind of Emperor Palpatine hand lightning going on in the first pic and that definitely a dash attack in the second picture.
Also looks like we can count on staffs and staves as primary weps.
AWESOME. :thumbsup: -

Thurk posted a message on New Diablo 3 Character Class: The Monk!I think the monk might be a cool mix of the Paladin bible-thumping stuff and the Assassin's hand to hand combat. In other words, a nice mix of passive and *very* active skills. Coolness.Posted in: News
Looking at the colour palette of the current characters (blue, purple, orange, red) it seems like the 5th class will likely have a green or yellow motif. I'm guessing green. That leads me to believe it will be a new generation of a back-to-nature druid-like character.
Thus far, the witch-doctor is the only real summoning build so that reinforces my belief that we will have another summoning guy/girl to use with some sweet shapeshifting/elemental stuff thrown in. Whether they simply rehash the Druid (boring) or throw in some cool culture meshing like... oh.. I dunno... Navajo and Norse? Heck, they might make it a hybrid Druid-Ranger/Hunter thing which I think would be cool. It would encourage a ranged class (Hunting bows) and some use of natural elements like wind and really hungry bears.
I'm sure the boys at Blizzard have something super-neato up their sleeves. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

And a severe bout of Amnesia caused him to lose all memory of how to leap attack.

Consider me thoroughly nonplussed.
And yes. Anything rhomboid is leaps and bounds better than the same old cube. Four sides... get real.

To clarify, Seth, I aimed this at the legions of hardcore Diablo fans out there who share my outrage. My white-hot, unbridled, unabashed outrage that this game will resemble the previous two games in any way shape or form. Don't get me started on the torpidity again.

What's with the health orbs? Every RPG has orbs. Use Globes. Or spheres. Be original devs.
Also, Deckard Cain? Same old stuff every game.
Furthermore, I can't believe there's an inventory. There was an inventory in the previous TWO games! The torpidity of it all!
It's almost like you guys are going for a sense of continuity in your games so that players familiar with the franchise will be able to recognize some of the elements in the game they purchased.
Well I won't stand for it.
And don't you hate pants?

It's fine if people want to worry about semantics, it's just beyond my scope of apprehension.
I understand debating the lore and such.

To avoid the problem of having no money there could be a simple debt system that charges interest when you dip below zero gold.
And if you can't maintain your weapon get a cheaper one.

Ranger?
Scout?
Hippie?
Dendrophiliac?
Wow. I would love a drunk class... Some kind of Hancock-esque, misunderstood all-powerful misfit. Rep point for you!

You'll have bow skills and some elemental stuff too. Probably some kind of sneaky tree involving stealth and deception as well. You know... think Aragon in Lord of the Rings, mix in a tree-hugging hippie with a penchant for carnage, and add a dash of Amazonian bow/jav/pike skills for good measure. Pheasants won't stand a chance.
Also, the predominant colour will be greenish since the other palette tones (Blues, Reds and Yellows) are taken already by the other 4 classes.
You can take that to the bank.
Edit: Heck he/she might even shapeshift every now and then. You can put that in that sneaky skill tree.

Look, I know you think that life ends on your 22nd birthday but seriously, there's still plenty of time to waste. Not as much, obviously, but if you hold off on that whole marriage/kids thing until you get to level 90 or so with a couple of characters D3 should be a very fulfilling experience for you.
If you get married or have kids before you turn 23 then you have only yourself to blame.
