Yeah, I think you guys hit the nail.
We’re setting out to create unique, interesting, and diverse classes that each have their own style and flavor. Most importantly this isn’t just a basic look at each individual class, but how they compare to each other and overlap (or hopefully, don’t).
When you up the number of classes more and more you’re eventually going to begin down the route of homogenization, they start to bleed into each other’s core abilities and styles which really just detracts from each individual class’ recognizability and distinction within the game.
In addition, by limiting the number - and I say limiting not because it’s a low number, it’s the number of classes in Diablo II and a good one at that, but because we’re not going crazy with it - we can focus on making each class really impressive, both visually and through the way they each feel and play.
Exactly. Anyone played Baldur's Gate II. including subclasses there are almost 30 classes. ANd the sub classes don't different that much at all.
I don't mind 5 classes. We still don't know if they are going to make an expansion (and they might) which ands new classes. Considering Blizzard is pushing for 4 man teams in games, 5 classes is pretty good. sure it means you can't have one of each class in a game, hey, that's not good. I might want to have one of each class in a game!! But back to where I was earlier, 5 for the initial release is pretty good. Too many classes and the tend to overlap abit and it's a little boring, not enough and you get bored just as quick.
Anyway, as long as the classes are more unique and there's more class specific quests and interactions with NPCs, I'm in.
Just can't wait to know what the other 3 classes are.
But but but there's already a paladin class in WoW, wouldn't it make D3 more WoWish.:mad:
I hope this isn't true, but whatever.
Yeah something close, with a different name and different meaning. But not literally a paladin. We want some unique stuff.
Hehehe, yeah some kind of character that is associated with the heavens, something close to tyreal.:D
Lol, what do you mean, male assasin. Theres going to be male and female versions for every class.
Oh yea! Shit your right! Rofl. Still, a male assassin would be so bad ass huh?
Imagine him with a black hood and using weapons like these.
Give him some smoke bombs too, or maybe he can even jump around or do some speedy combo's, lol.
Omg if they have an assassin class, I'll crap myself on the spot. ~Pffftttt~ (bad sound effects)
The website have some interesting references about necros when you read the skeletons chapter.
5 is a nice number. And we don`t know how many variations can have each class.
AGREED, Barb my definite favorate, he defines power
EWWWWW!!!! Thats what ruined D2 Lod everyone teleing and using bo is just WRONG!! Thats why im a classic playa just ruined the whole damn game.
one of the remaining characters is a Druid.
