zombie wall > bone wall

any day

>>particularly since the team itself had passionate debates on the topic — almost as much as the game’s art direction.

well here goes this thread too :-(

Nah, zombie wall is a bit too gimmicky. Bone wall is the height of cool, as are Necromancers, so this is good news.

bone wall was cool until necros (like me) would spam it in baal runs just to make it go slower

this is great news....are you all on drugs??? diablo 3 expansion passably. necromancer possibly be back. i cant wait for this damn game to get more news.

It's a good idea to bring the necro back in the expansion, maybe instead of bone wall just impeeding the path of enemies it could do some thorns damage?????.......possibly???:necro:

While news on Diablo 3 is great and I am always waiting for more, this news just makes me shake my head. Honestly, everyone expects an expansion eventually, but at this point who cares. It seems like putting the cart before the horse. We need the game to be out at least a year before we can even really consider an expansion so this is more like no news at all.

That's your personal opinion. However, We are who call the shot on what is, or not newsworthy.

True, but it's just adding to the excitement for the game.

I love the necro! Well this made my day. . . possibly. I think that the expansion is a great place to bring back old characters. It seems like that way people are forced to try out the new but will eventually get the chance to go back to the revamped (hopefully) old classes.

I'm still waiting for the druid. I want mah bear back!

I am personally one of those types who think the art direction will be amazing, and that all new classes will be awesome. I do hope they bring back a few chars from D2 in the D3 expansion, just for old times sake and to see how they improve upon them.

People act like Blizzard is new and doesn't know wtf they're doing. Blizzard is the god of good games. Diablo is their game, their franchise, not ours. They know best how to raise their own child than an outsider does. We can offer advice, but they can tell us to go to Hell, which they pretty much have. I fully support that.

So far the barb is looking to be my first char...WD is cool, but man... the barb is just a badass... lol.. I may have to put names in a hat >_<

Awesome, I'd love to see the new army you can muster with the guy.

But are they implying they'll release an expansion shortly after D3 comes out?
I guess it's not a bad thing, it's just LOD came out about year after D2. :3

hmmm...this just hit me.

as we saw in the gameplay video. you can click an ally and they can join your party like a merc. maybe there will be some old classes coming back to be a merc type character. so we could be seeing some of the old classes coming back from diablo 2 and see them fighting still.

Thats lame. the necro is gunna be like 90 years old??

Quote from "cheebalover" »

if they think of expansion then maybe the game is nearly finished...just a hope
But this interview is surely good news!! they even discussed atle art direction, so maybe the will make it a litle darker..;)

It could also mean an open ending to the story in D3 only to be knitted up in the expansion.:cool:

Possible ending to D3: Tyreal becomes corrupt and you must defeat him.

No, he will be 50. Necromancers age backwards.

D3 is worth holding out for until the expansion then. thats if they actually put the only class worth playing the game for back in.

Nothing unexpected, ever since I saw the WD my hopes for a Necromancer went for the expansion. With the current game, though I think it may not be a good idea to bring him back anymore. All his best skills were using corpses, now that they are gone I really am not looking forward for some crappy replacement.
I really, really, really hope there's no paladin this time around.

I'm with cheeba....what's wrong with the pally? What kind of fantasy game would this be with no holy warrior fighting evil?

Quote from "Kenzai" »

LOL why do you think that way?

From Arreat Summit:

"Long hours of study in dank mausolea have made his skin pale and corpselike, his figure, skeletal."

Hes not really that old, id say 40 at most.

r u kidden me?? hes like 60 at most. (in d2 LOL, he had white hair boney as hell) 20 years later is diablo 3. But they said he might come in the expansion. And for all we know the expansion might be another 5 years later ( in the story). So therefore he will be 85 when he is introduced in the expansion. LOL

Have you read the books? There was a necromancers over 100 years old and he was really powerful.
