Ok, I found this site awhile ago, and it just so happened I got someone on the inside. I got some details about the upcoming Diablo 3, if you don't want to believe me then fine with me, I could give a shit. You'll see when it comes out.
Let's see where to begin, how about characters.
Diablo 3 will feature four new characters:
Ritualist- (No details)
Monk- Healer/Smiter, a couple of skills are holy fire and holy ice. Holy ice is fired at an enemy, then when it hits it breaks apart and hits near by enemies, sorta like ice orb.
Warrior- The warrior will be a mix between barbarian and paladin, that's all I know.
Beast- No details on this class other than it is some sort of beast, the guy said it was really badass.
The character creation system will be a little different, I know that you can definatley choose between a male and female character, but whether you can pick features on that character I'm only about 60% sure that you will, I can't quite remember what he said.
A new feature will be added, when you click on a person you can view their gear.
Diablo 3 will be a much longer game than Diablo 2. It features a total of 14 acts, the first act has 12 quests alone.
The 3 ancient barbarians from the summit will be back in it and will be totally badass.
This next fact is a heartbreaker. The graphics for the game will remain very similar to the graphics of D2. He said that they want to make it so all the crappy computers can play D3 just as they play D2. It's retarded I know, pisses me off since my computer is godly.
The game type will remain the same, you click to join games, so it's not going to be an mmo.
There will be new stuff, lol I guess that's a given, but there will be new cool features that D3 has to offer, unfortunatley I didn't get any details.
Well that is all the news I have, I might get more detailed news later on, but this is it for now.
Oh and for an estimated release date, since the game is still unnamed to the press, i'd expect the game not to be out for at least 2 more years
Dude this is super ground breaking information for me The only thing i dont like to hear is that im ganna b w8ing 4 2 freaking years:( Better late than never i guess:rolleyes:

We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says, "Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." I suppose we all thought that one way or another.
i got to agree with Mutton on this. And 1 thing that makes me really doubt it:
Graphics. If its really similar to D2 and runs even now on crappy systems it will be very old shit if it gets released after "at least 2 more years"
some of that is belieable but u need to prove and also if its gonna stay an rpg(which is good) and 2d(which I think is also good) i dun think itll take 2 more years unless they add like crazy new stuff and beef up the 2d graphics and add more details, which they better!
lol i fell like a moron for believing this so quick
i guess i was just excited
but......wut do u guys think d3 graphics should be like
i think it should be a steady camera view but hella good graphics

It looks like the Diablo III rumor mill has started up once again with a seemingly innocent post on the jobs section of the Blizzard web site. A few days ago they posted a job for an art director and various leads to join "the team behind Diablo I and II" for "an unannounced PC project." I have been getting some inquires since then if Blizzard is indeed working on Diablo III and when is it going to come out?
Well, before I answer let me mention a few things. First, I don't want to get any of my friends at Blizzard in trouble, so from instead of mentioning "Diablo III" let's call this theoretical game "Beelzebub 3" and instead of "Blizzard" let's call them "Snowstorm". Second, my information is quality stuff, but it is a little old, so take that with a gain of salt. Third, err, well, there is no third, so let's get into what I know!
Let's the obvious out of way, "Snowstorm" is indeed working on "Beelzebub 3". Not only are they working on it, but they have been working on this game for no less than the past four years. In fact, "Snowstorm North" nearly completed the game several years ago, but what they developed just "wasn't fun" and been quietly reworked. This was actually one of the key reasons why Snowstorm North was closed and everyone was relocated to Irvine-based Snowstorm, so that the bigwigs in Irvine could better track and follow the development of Beelzebub 3.
As for what to expect in to see in Beelzebub 3, believe it or not but those rumors that were floating around a few months ago about the game were fairly accurate (by the way, I have no idea who started these rumors or where they came from). According to the rumors:
"Diablo 3 takes place in heaven. Hell is trying to take it over and it is AWESOME looking … Imagine the brightness of heaven being taken over by the darkness of hell … Imagine WoW but in a Diablo world in amount of size and playability … Also, guild housing is available in this game for those of you who know about it."
This information was pretty dead-on. It is true that Beelzebub 3 will be done in true 3D and it did indeed look freaking awesome. It is also true that Beelzebub 3 features a story between the conflicts of Heaven and Hell and contains a very cool feature where every single item in the game can change between a "light" version and a "dark" version. However this was also one of the problems with the original version of the game. Other than the ability for any item to visually change from light to dark it didn't affect the actual stats of the item or change the gameplay in any way. So the game has gone through a total rework to inject some "fun" into the gameplay and to make it feel like the Beelzebubs of old.
The core gameplay Beelzebub 3 will play pretty much like Beelzebub 1 and 2, but the game world will be much larger and provide a much deeper experience -- many more items, more levels when you go through the game for first time, more skills, more of everything. In addition, the multiplayer aspect will be greatly enhanced from the past installments and don't be surprised to see more than a couple of WoW-based concepts to leak over into the Beelzebub 3 universe ... such as two opposing factions (Alliance and Horde = Heaven and Hell), enhanced guild functionality, and maybe even mounts?!
As for when Beelzebub 3 will released, that one is easy to answer ... when it's done. Snowstorm is in no rush to finish this game and will release it only after they feel it's perfect. And after the fiasco of StarCraft: Ghost -- which has been announced for years and is currently going through its second round of redesign and reprogramming -- Snowstorm is in no rush to announce Beelzebub 3. Don't except an announcement until the game is near completion.
But there is some good news; that "leak" on the Snowstorm jobs page was no accident. If they are starting to leak information about Beelzebub 3 then they are starting to get closer to a final release. Of course for Snowstorm something "getting close" can mean two years from now.
Hopefully that will hold everyone over for the short term. Hopefully Beelzebub 3 will be announced at the next E3, I'll try to find out more before then and give everyone the dirt as I get it.
i want every1 to evaluate this and tell me what they think about it

like i said i could give a shit if you believe me, my source is someone who is working on the project, not a website, i cannot give his name for obvious reasons. i never said it came from a website, and if they haven't even released even a general description of the "project" to the public, not even a simple "We are working on Diablo 3," then how the hell would I have gotten it from a website. my friend only told me this because i asked about it, he didnt tell me so i can go tell everyone, i just felt like you'd like to know, i didnt have to tell you, nor do i have to waste my time making you believe me, you can see for yourself when the info is officially released.
i made the 2 year assumption on my own, since any info on it, even the fact that there working on d3 is not released to the public, makes me assume the project release date will be farther along
i know that the graphics dont make sense, im sure they wont be exactly the same, they will probably be much more detailed and not blurry shit like they are now, but it will remain the same art style
and finally props to the post above me
almost forgot, no not only 4 characters, those are 4 additional characters to the ones from d2
Ahh ok. Beast sounds lame tho.Warrior was used in D1
RItualist and Monk sound cool. But monk is taken by a paladin.
I'm interested in Ritualist, but I know theres such a thing in Guild Wars.
oooooohhhh yeah now i remember that guy's name was hijinks...hemade up some story about d3 coming out and never had any proof to back it up...i wasn't around then but i've heard plenty about him around the posts...
actually he didnt even make a story up... just made a thread and thats all
ya, spastik thats a very old story... i hope its credible though

If you ever meet a hafling and a hungry dragon you dont have to outrun the dragon, you only have to outrun the hafling.

*takes this topic and throws it to the trash can*
as if ur the only one who "knows some1 who works on the project". we've read thousands of those topics on many different forums and none of them was right. Why would you be?

Ditto. Anybody can type up some stuff and call it info.

but all i can say is yay! 2 years? psshhh... try like a year or less.
