Hmmm. . . makes me wonder if that rules out the possibility of old characters making a comeback. Maybe they only chose one, the most popular one. Well if they did it for one old char. maybe they will do it again for another character *whispers assassin repeatedly*:)
when he talked about the new classes and surprised to see the barbarian back agian. i can understand why they would keep some characters from diablo 2. because if you keep having new characters then you get over runned by everything. with maybe one or two new classes at least. with some of the map area to the right being maped out more and finding moer types of people. but i wouldnt want 5 whole new classes. then the lore for diablo 3 would get wierd with diablo 2. and i like where blizzard is taking this.
except the floating numbers. dont really like that.
blizz north can blow me. Hellgate London was TERRIBLE
EDIT: I LOVE floating combat text. I want to see how hard i owned something in numbers, and I want to be able to compare with other people. I hated running around D2 saying stuff like "my meteors ROCK" instead of "my meteors rock, they do 42k dmg" I mean that's a fact. "My meteors rock"...that's an opinion. I want scrolling combat text. And ffs get over the colors. You need something to contrast with the dark dungeons. Without light we wouldnt appreciate darkness.
You never know we could have gotten Blademaster Marksman Evoker Summoner and Guardian for D3. I don't think ANYONE would be happy not seeing an old class make it through. People would bitch it's not diablo.
idk if you stole that from some ancient philosopher, but +9001 Internets all the same
anyway, hey devirus, like how d2 wasn't diablo either?
Play as a brave Warrior, cunning Rogue or mysterious Sorceror
hmm, I don't see a Barbarian, Amazon, Necromancer.... WAIT A SECOND, I DON'T SEE ANY d2 CLASSES!
Barb shouldn't be in, but blizzard knows there are people like you out there so they said, hey look its a barbarian, go reminisce and we will go make a game worth playing
which is much better than making a game to the standards of 10 years ago
Where did I say that "I" would be pissed about not having any class make it over? I'm making a guess that "people" would be pissed just like how they don't agree with d3 not looking like d2.
Lay off the crack and pretending you know me. I prefer the Witch Docter over the necromancer after seeing it in the video.
Commenting on the Floating Numbers, why the hell wouldn't they add the option to turn off the floating numbers, theres games out already that give you the option to do that, so I see no reason why you wouldn't get that option in Diablo 3.
I got word at 5:19:36 AM CST that allegedly Diablo III is estimated to release in March of 2009.
I'm not saying this is true, nor am I acting like one of those jackasses who kicks it with the CEO of Blizz every Friday and shares a few girls on Saturdays. All I'm saying is that from this exact minute of 5:31 AM CST on July 13th back to June 28th has been disguised as a 16 day journey, but it's been a fucking 200 year epic. I want this game out tomorrow. I want to not see it coming. I want some random buddy I got in the military to come from Naples, Bahrain, Sydney, Tokyo in the middle of the night, repel my damn wall through my window with a grappling hook, and jump on me screaming "I SAW DIABLO III AT BEST BUY! WHY ARE YOU SLEEPING!?!?"
So what I wanted to do is two things: #1 See if it's possible at all to get this confirmed if even by "That sounds about right"
#2 To let everyone know, if this is true, there is some hope that it is soon to come because I'd damn well expect the same and would be mad as hell if a brother on the frontlines was holding out on me
I don't expect too many responses that will be helpful or project answers, but all I need is one.
You got your info from a game site.
Probably Gamestop or something..
And what are you smoking bro?
I want some... Navy Seal. lol

Watching 240 guys talk trash about cavaliers is like two retards having a slapfight over a sippy cup.
We should just have an option to turn the numbers off. That pretty much solves it. But I do wish there were some videos of the Diablo III prototype... that would be awesome since I am curious on what it looked like.
Hmmm. . . makes me wonder if that rules out the possibility of old characters making a comeback. Maybe they only chose one, the most popular one. Well if they did it for one old char. maybe they will do it again for another character *whispers assassin repeatedly*:)
Just because they brought back the barbarian doesn't mean he was the most popular of all 7, the necro/paladin and sorce seem to frontline more.
Oh and Assassin is like the least fav in every voting poll I've seen.
F*** that not Text i can careless about Text Floating leave.That to WoW and mmorpg not Rpg i don't care about how much damage.I never care then i never care now. It annoyed me in WOW you see all this annoying text dmg all over the place it was horrible.And that's not what diablo 3 was made for you killed it get the armor and kill some more .If you want a text game go play WC3 or WoW not diablo 3 and .I am pretty sure that can take that out hopefully they do because for me it is very annoying and am pretty sure some of you guy don't care about .What damage you just gave a monster for me it just says "YOUR PLAYING A MMORPG" or i dare to say it again WOW.(Yea am beating a Dead Horse)bet it will be till great to play hopefully a ON/OFF.
Floating numbers remind me of all those cheesy 'Diablo wannabe' games... and are completely unnecessary.
If I recall Titan Quest, and Guild wars both use floating numbers; in addition to crap like City of Heroes.
I don't think it's a big complaint, but it would be nice to just have the health meter of the monsters. In fact I saw small health meters in the teaser video.
I too am putting my faith in Blizzard to pump out a great game, even if it means waiting a year or two. Sucks yes but we do have other games to play (for example FPS - Counter-Strike: Source) and life (greatest game of them all), lol.
As for the comment about about appealing to African Americans with the WD...ehhh... Let us not forget the Paladin in D2 was black.
The floating text doesn't bother me, especially since it's scarce enough. And they'll probably put in a toggle in the options.
Hold steadfast everyone and just trust them, we'll all be playing and having fun together before you know it.

Blizzard never discusses a release date after a game announcement. The game is ready when it is ready. It's been their philosophy for quiet a while. I don't know what source you got March 2009 is a release date. To me that is a fallacy until Blizzard makes a official announcement. No offense.
Starcraft 2 was announced on May 2007. It is been a year and two months. I was at Paris, and we were told the single player is 1/3 done at this point. When will Starcraft 2 release? When it is ready.
no sorce, pala, or barb would totaly suck
using a ranger to replace the zon is understandable however.
assasin is always good too
battlenet acc = Cr0w and TheCr0w
OH RIGHT
in a SA post using your "jokes" as sarcasm for anti-d3 fags
go play a better game, oh wait, there probably wont be one
so enjoy your EA games, I will be enjoying my blizzard
what is diablo without a sorcerer? it is NOTHING!
except the floating numbers. dont really like that.

something that can be applied to everything

If WoW had good ideas that are good ideas..why wouldn't those ideas be good anywhere else?
ffs, i dont know how i lived without an action bar in games in the first place.
you're just lucky they dont actually make you have tank and healer classes. I imagine you women would have a cow level over that.
I'm completely for D3 the way it is. I trust blizzard.
I loved D2 and played it for 2 years.
and I'm glad Flagship Studios got shut down today so they won't be ruining video games anymore.
blizzard owns this game, and you work for walmart (sup phex and dvirus)
nothing you say matters, atleast 10 million people will be playing this game, a couple of disgruntled nerds won't even make it passed the *chans

nope, I love floating text and guess what game I am going to play because of it
DIABLO 3
its going to be amazing
Gonna qq more?
even if blizzard released diablo 2 again under the name diablo 3 you guys would bitch
If I am forced to see them then no I will not like it, I want options.
This is 2008, we should be able to get to choose and make a choice.
I often don't use it in WoW, it just to much on top of mods and other things.
Sometimes I will but other times it doesn't help @ all.
