Forgive me in advance if I am recapping something someone has already said, but to touch on what Murderface said... a lot of these wants/concerns were answered in a D2 mod called Eastern Sun. It implements an almost endless stash with the option to switch between private or character shared with multiple pages... im at about 100 and still going. The mod also addresses the merc only gear and merc only sets someone mentioned, which IMO is actually a pretty cool feature. it also has many more craftable items that fall from enemies. Just to name a couple features off the top of my head, not to mention a completely revamped character skill set. they have a good grasp on a few things i would like to see in D3. obviously it will be much better in D3, but they were going in the right direction with the mod. anyhow, for all of you newly inspired old school D2ers that just got that old feeling back when you heard this announcement, check out this mod... should keep you entertained for at least a little while before D3 comes out and might give you a feel for some of the ideas you have been tossing around and see if you actually do like them or if they would be a total waste of time.
another quick post... the mod also hits on respeccing stats and skill points. perhaps in D3 they could implement a system where from lvls say 1-10 ya could have unlimited respecs, figuring out what role you wanted to fill with your character, then as you progress in levels there are less and less opportunities to respec and they require more from the player, eg. gold, completing a certain quest, finding some sort of very rare item or crafted recipe, etc... just a thought
Lots and Lots of "Set" Pieces. I love collecting them. And a larger Stash. How many times have you picked up something only to not have room. No more mule characters. Druids. Lvl cap increase,maybe?. Stat re-works, Like WoW where you can pay to rearrange your stat tree.
Another Gem to activate in the chat, only to wonder what the Hell it does. (It's job).

That's a good idea but plz dont compare WoW to diablo
As times change so do games. Today’s gaming benchmark for Diablo 3 is quite high. This isnt 2001 or 1997. Your making it sound like we should all go back to playing minesweeper 3d or something. Besides for every single player Diablo is a different type of experience, your 'killing demons' theory is great, but other people play the game for different reasons. Ie you have collectors, guild creators, people who play with hacks, people who Pk. its not just about killing demons, and it most certainly is about admiring scenery. This is not Prince of Persia!!! for Christ sake.
Exactly, Diablo is NOT about admiring scenery - I'm so glad we agree. Please take the time to read my message, I read your's and it was much longer than mine
If somebody released minesweeper 73 or something I would expect it to respect the original's core gameplay - otherwise it's not minesweeper, it's something else.
It's snobbish to say the creators of, say, Doom95 had lower production values because the game has no plot, no choice and no NPCs: that game is a masterpiece even by today's standards. The ONLY thing that should be important in a game is the GAMEPLAY because this is the only thing that is unique to games. Story can be found in books and visuals can be found in movies.
Diablo is indeed about item collection as well as bloody murder, but Player Killing (PK) has always been consentual: this is a cooperative game at heart. Making rape legal (as long as you yell "suprise!" of course) would ruin the game
I want new stuff as much as the next guy, but any new additions should respect the following Diablo principals:
- Unambivalently evil antagonists (so you have no qualms about killing them)
- Linear story (so as not to distract you from killing the evil dudes)
- Emphasis on killing stuff above all else (duh)
- Phat lewt (to help you in your killing of evil dudes)
- Cooperative play (because the more of you killing evil dudes, the merrier)
You can still make a lot of changes within these guidelines - I'm certainly not saying that this should just be a graphics update for Diablo 2! Diablo 3 should improve it's cooperative play, it's phat lewt, it's emphasis on killing stuff and so on but not add things that belong in another game.
i would really like to see an amazing social UI, i mean if Battle.net would recognize clans, have a tab just for chat ingame, throughout battle.net. not just in your particular server. and built in Voice chat.
Unified Stash: I'm not sure if this is even possible, but I was thinking, why not make a unified stash that is accessible by all the characters on said account. This would eliminate the need for transfering in between characters on said account, the only time you would have to transfer is when you're transfering between two different accounts.. The stash would understandably be bigger than the D2: Lod one, in fact each character would still have their own stash. The only difference is that you could easily access all of your other char's stuff through this unified architecture. It would work the same way like switching weapons in D2: Lod, but in this case you would be switching stash blades. (ie. BLADE **Character Name) Sort of like in Xbox Live..

Get real, folks, the diablo you all knew is dead, a few years ago i said right here in this forum that D3 had a pretty good chance of being blizzard first bust (i was flamed to death ofc), and what you know, its not even beta and its already looking that way.
A really, really good anti maphack and anti cheat system would be great. i dont want to log onto Diablo 3 on the first day after release, having joined a game to find 8 people with 9999 dmg god weapons and armor. :/ Because we all know Diablo 2 is hacked up, duped up, and messed up.
For the ppl who want to change any thing in diablo your dreaming..... i couldnt read 170 pages of coments but i will tell u one thing the game play was amazing Befor every one was beging i hope its not world of diablo..... now it i dont like the colors blah blah blah it is what it is and its diablo that first and formost.... this isnt even the right topic to post on about this :/
Anyway forget all that thank god its coming but the only thing i would like to see in diablo is for bosses or High end items Roll for them like in WoW cuz one thing is for players all over then world to try and out click a player with 30 ping when they have 150-300 is not possible. I do like the hole drop and first to click game but for some ppl its not fair. but thats not on the top of my list. Set items should be the best gear to get... I can remeber the days when my full Immortal kings was 1337 then dupes and madness gave every one enigma and CTA blah blah blah and the game went to crap..... Hears a test if youer not feeling me I challenge any 1 to play diablo 2 on HC and beat the game on hell dif.... no cake walk at all. Iv done it with a summoner Hammerdin and windy druid... Any way im trying to do it with all classes. Its fun to only play with what the game gives u. and u can forget about making Botd LOL GL Be legit

Play single player HC or with a few freinds Pros only
I just want darker and freakier and scarier scenery cause all those rabbit and rainbows in the demo almost killed the mood
The fact that i didn't want to and loved to play diablo because i got kinda scared by it made it fun. is like playing Condemed 2 bloodshot you just want to put the controller down and go to bed but it like scares you back

But.
Can anyone answer me why Diablo III, on blizzards main page, is in between Starcraft II and WOTLK?
Usually they have the newest on the left outside...
Is it possible that Diablo III is farther along than Starcraft II?
Thought anyone?
The fact that i didn't want to and loved to play diablo because i got kinda scared by it made it fun. is like playing Condemed 2 bloodshot you just want to put the controller down and go to bed but it like scares you back
+ why is it soo bad, they gave us stamina potions
