probably will be
ill still use vent
and i think went vent will incorporate itself because i have a feeling diablo 3 is being designed in some aspects to leech from the 10 million wow pool

they said they have no plans to move it anytime soon.
i would love to see it move around the country every year.
like Anaheim, Austin, Denver, Chicago, Orlando, New York

"We beleive that the stories of Diablo have alot of unexplored potential. In the art styles, we try to express the mood and tone of the story through heavy contrasts. If you have played the demo, you can see just a snippet of what is to come to the Diablo universe in terms of the new direction of the art styles. We have brought back many of the same musical artists from the past Diablo games, let them play a little bit of the game, and then let them loose to create music to match the tones of the story and art. So far they have come up with a lot of fantastic pieces, many of which are not quite done yet. However, it is my pleasure to introduce their compsition of the new opening song for our latest title, Diablo 3." - Ray Gresko

here is a video of a preformance of the orchestra playing the song

I don't know when this was intorduced on the site but this is definatley the first time I've noticed it or heard about it. We all remember the Gem activated/Deactivated from the chat room. Well, it's back! Just under the updates section. Look!

Hello, I would like to just make some suggestions and I hope you atleast take a look at this even if I don't win the contest. Some of the things that I would like to see stay the same in the Diablo franchise are the items being BoE (bind on equipt for all of you non-nerds out there), class skills being very unique, and it being a very fast paced PvP. Trading and bartering for items is much funner then having a set currency. Although certain items in Diablo 2 happen to become the currency anyway, it's good to have the options open. I'm not too worried about the classes, you guys have always been good about it. I hope pvp is still as fast as it has always been, where a duel usually doesn't last any logner then 30 seconds. I also hope that PvP is still very disorganized and more like a royal rumble then a game of capture the flag. I think pking is more suited for diablo then a friendly type of duel. I hope that the random prefix and suffix generators are still active in Diablo 3 as well as monsters dropping random items. I saw that you were thinking of changing the item layout so that things were only 1 slot and im not quite sure i aggree with this. I think you should make the inventory bigger, maybe with tabs, and let you rotate items on the grid to fit. O ya, and make a necromancer. And bring back the cow level

There are some things that I would like to see be different in the game also. Personally, I would like it to be 1 long game that gradually gets harder instead of 3 difficulty modes. But thats just me. I would also like to see more things that are very difficult to do and impossible to do alone with very valuable rewards. Uber Tristram was a very good start but unfortunatley thats the only thing in the game like that. I would also like to see more little easter eggs in the game I always enjoy finding these and having a little laugh. (One idea is at some point in the game have Reziarfg as a boss :D). I would very much like to see more class balance. Lets face it, pallys are the best class, have the best skills, and are much more versitile then any other class. I would also like to see more bosses which I think you guys are planning to do. The thing that I would like to see the absolute most is more bannings. The hacks/bots/mods on Diablo 2 have gotten way out of hand. As for mercenaries....im not sure If I was too into it. I say if you bring them back, give them AI/commands like stay, follow, attack, don't attack etc etc. I have seen people on this thread post about maybe having PvP awards and I think it would be cool but I don't know how I think it should be done. I think it would be cool to use ears or another type of pk trophy as currency for PvP rewards, maybe like if you land the killing blow you get that ear instantly put in your inventory (in a special place that cant be filled by other items.) However, I don't want to see gear distributed through PvP. I think you should be able to buy character titles or other things that are useless but cool. An account stash would be nice but not very logical or reasonable so i'm nit expecting there to be one. I would hope that there is a mailing system. This would really solve alot of issues with the account stash. A mailing system similar to WoWs is one of the few things that I think Diablo can successfully steal from WoW. Another thing you can steal from WoW is being able to link items. Why not? What could go wrong?

There are alot of things that I would like to comment about specifically to the demo video. First, I like the idea of no more potions. I think that this will make 1 less annyoyance in PvP also it will make boss fights more interesting since you have no way to heal (unless you make a healing class and please don't). I very much liked how in the boss fight how he ripped that guy apart. I'm not sure if this was something real in the game or just something cool for the video. Either way, it would be sweet to see in the game. I like the idea of the whole environmental interaction thing but I hope this isn't class specific because frankly I can't picture a witch doctor being able to knock down a wall with a wand lol. I know in a recent interview you guys said that you are sticking to isometric view. Which is cool. But, why is it during the end of the video you changed views to a more head on view. Can you change the view? Or was it only a video thing?

I know theres alot of arguement over the color and general look of the game so far and heres my opinion on it. Its 2008, everything is 3D and thats what 3D looks like. I can't see how some people are going bonkers over the game even though all thats out is a 20 minute demo video. I'm not saying you should like Diablo no matter what I'm just saying bite your tongue until the game is actually released or you have played it. Im sure the game will be very diverse in the environment as was Diablo 1 and 2. There were still lush green areas in Diablo 2 none the less a super-sunny desert.

In Diablo 2 there were "cooldowns" but they were'nt as advanced as WoWs or anything. Only a few things actually had a cooldown and if they did they were no more then like 2-3 seconds. Lets face it, it would suck if you could cast FoH or Blizzard like Hammers. You guys knew what moves needed these and acted on them and I dont think there is any need to change this much in Diablo 3. Since it has very face paced combat cooldowns would just slow everything down and change the general gameplay alot. I think you need to leave the faster cast rate as a base and use cooldowns on moves if you need to but still make them just a second or two.

I'm going to dedicate this entire section on teleport because I have very strong views on it. First of all teleport was the most important move in the game without a doubt. I think there is no reason to change it at all. However, I think it should only be exclusive for the Sorceress-like class in D3. The inclusion of enigma made sorceresses pretty obsolete. However, I think every class should have it's special way of faster transportation or atleast something cool to lean you twards that class.

1 more thing. As iv'e been reading other peoples posts about that they want to see I see alot of things that are referenced to WoW or very similar. Although WoW has some things that would contribute to the game positivley, I also think that Diablo is Diablo and WoW is WoW. If I wanted to play WoW I would play WoW. When I want to play Diablo I play Diablo. I'll repeat this one more time. PLEASE do NOT make gold the currency. At that don't make any real currency. Let us barter item for item. Alot of people are saying to get an auction house which would be impossible since d3 will be run through battlenet it cant remain a constant. Also if there was an auction house there would have to be a set currency which I expressed my opinions above about that.

Yup, thats my opinions so far on Diablo 3. I hope you guys read this. I'm sure Diablo 3 will be great no matter what you do though. Bye!
(seriously there is too many people saying it should be like wow in this post. lost count of how many times ive edited this now :P)

-_-bump-_-

-_-bump-_-

hero editing is good. if ur thinking about making a char on closed realms, u can make 1 on open to see if its worth ur time

lol just press back.

i actually was working on an undead class. i made it pretty detailed

Race: Undead

Trees:

Diseases (all spreadable)
some skills being: a skill that automatically gives open wounds, a venom type move but more powerfull and more time, mana leech, durability drain, enemy life/mana% reduction, death (casts poison explosion on death)

Melee
some skills being: a charge like skill, gore, feed (life/mana steal added to attack), heavy swing (greatly raises damage and attack rating but lowers attack speed), final breath (does more damage the lower your health is)

Undead
some skills being: poison mastery, (passive) life after kill, (passive) increased attack speed (passive), hide (ability to dissappear off of map and screen if standing still), lower speed (passive), play dead (immune for x amount of time but cannot move), horror (lower targets attack rating x percent), friendly fire (damage reduced by undead, passive), dominion (convert monsters or other players summons into undead allies), cannabalize (use player ears to give 3% life and mana)

Stats
5 life per vit
2 mana per ene
most def per dex

Breakpoint approximations
low fhr
low fcr
high ias

Class Items - i was thinkin skulls u can only find off of the certain monsters u kill i.e. fallen skull comes from fallen only.

very convincing

ya i mailed the guy who did them and asked him if they were at all related to the diablo games. he said no

anyone know of a iste that lists ladder only runewords and items?
