I don't think guns should be in any medieval fantasy genre game.
Generally I would agree. But then you have things like Age of Empires II: Age of Kings. Now that actually goes up to the years almost immidiately prior to the Reneissence, and guns, at least primative ones, are in Europe at this time. And in huge numbers. This is almost right before armor gets redesigned to withstand gun shot. Which I hate as it looks silly.
It looks like this
I miss this sort of armor
As soon as guns came in, armor got weirdo. Then they lost it all together as bullets went through armor regardless.

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
Diablo is set in 1265, 20 years later is 1285. That's still the 13th century, guns weren't mainstream till about the 17th century. The were in China in the 10th Century, but that China.
Diablo seems to mirror our world timeline wise, what is our 13th century (Europe) seem to be what Sanctuary's 13th century is.
It one of the few mirroring of our world the Diablo series actually does. Sure other medieval fantasy games mirror our world, but so few mirror the dates. Their year 1265 is our year 1265 (AD).
Larzuk also describes a Hot Air Balloon, made of sheep skin, while airships are no stranger in Medieval fantasy games (see Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale), I doubt we will see that either.
Not trying to burst your bubble, but Ataghan (also known as a Yataghan) was around from the mid 16th century to the 19th century. Several centuries after the story of Diablo (1, II, and III). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yatagan

I don't want my sorcerer or low levels to be forced to wear bullet proof platemail to live.
And if they're wearing leather armor and get shot and live... just doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Elfen the armor changed because guns were designed as armor piercers, it was a counter cavalry weapon.
My point was, the armor used during the height of guns is a far cry from the armor used at the hieght of the majority of the weapons found in Diablo.
As Diablo is still in the throws of the sword and shield, the armor is protrayed accordingly. Which is good.
If they bring in guns, something they are actually free to do by the way, I think armor will change too. I don't like the look of those 16th, 17th century armors. They are not Diablo, or what I think of when I think of Diablo.

Don't guns generally have a longer range and much more penetration?
I dunno though really.
Sure, 20th century guns do, but even 17th century guns had crap for range. That's why the British used their style of military formation. They had no accuracy anything more than 50ft, so they just fired a wall of bullets.

Oh god no guns please, don't make this another hell gate london or WoW. Mythos is already making a game like diablo with guns in there, you gun people can go play there. Its better with traditional magic and weapons that aren't guns.

Another example is the Plate Armor. It was used in the late 13th century, again after the story of Diablo. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_armour#History
