I don't think this is going to make it into diablo 3, if it does it will be something new. Has anyone heard Bashiok replying to this on the battle.net forum? When he talked about it he almost sounded pissed about the entire cow level in the first place. His reasons are good also.

Yeah, who doesn't like fighting cows running around with halberds?
I disliked the secret cow level from a design standpoint though. It actually angered me that it existed at one point, maybe it kind of still does.
I'm not a designer, at all, but in my opinion and from a design standpoint I think the secret cow level was a failure. For a long time it was one of the most lucrative ways to level, and one of the best places to MF. For an easter egg, something fun and whimsical, to overshadow the entire rest of the game was a huge problem, and one that existed for far too long. It was a fun idea, a cool nod to the rumors that spawned it, but in execution it was just... game breaking in some ways.
Q u o t e:
See i thought the opposite. I was actually angry when they made it a less than lucrative place to MF/XP.
Well of course, everyone wants everything made easier for them, and that's effectively what it was. This barrel of fish that not only acted as cheesy way to pull the slot machine lever, but almost rendered the rest of the game unnecessary.
The oversight, I believe, existed in the requirement for the current difficulty to be beaten as well as the Cow King kill. It's easy enough to avoid the King or just have the level opened by other characters, and I can only guess that the amount of replay potential of the actual game was extremely undervalued.
Q u o t e:
We are going to be grinding monsters to get loot and xp, so why does it really matter where we do it?
Because you're playing a game, and it should be respected that you're playing that game. The cow level was not part of the game, it was an easter egg that made leveling and item finding far easier than the actual game. I'm inclined to almost call it cheating.
I'd have to agree with him here. on all points.

If you get personally attacked by letters through the internet its a good thing to always have a box of tissues and a band-aid around.
From what I saw, the cow level was made because of some rumors in diablo 1( in diablo 2 we also saw a lot of cow cadaver in tristram).
I think if they were to make an other level of this kind they could make a special rabbit level. I'm saying this because in LOD there were also rabbit and I think some people did not like them, we also saw some rabbit in the gameplay demo which made a few people go kind of berserk in hating the rabbit. Bashiok said that it was supposed to be possible to kill the rabbit, because of those reason, when Diablo 3 is released, I bet a lot of people will enjoy killing the little rabbit, so a rabbit level would be kind of like a response to the people who hated the rabbit and also a way for the rabbit to get revenge on the players who were killing every rabbit they saw.At least I think it could be kind of funny.
Also, if they indeed decide to make a level like this I hope it won't make people want to only go there because of too high xp and/or loots.
Bring on the Moo! Maybe the Cow King has family ie: we'll fight the cow queen, prince, prince and uncles aunt twice removed!

“There’s no going back now,” he said during an interview in a Manhattan hotel where Blizzard was showcasing their newest games. “We’re very happy with how the art style is. The art team’s happy. The company’s happy. We really like this art style, and we’re not changing it.” - Blizzard. :thumbsup:

yea i hope they still go moo moo moo and have there battle a axes but there axes need to be bigger and they need to be black all overand they should have foam comming out there mouth with big red glowing eyes and they should be more cows and a bigger cow level and not have the cow king shooting llighting bolts it should shoot like a howl like a barb or somthing and rattle the ground and tear the ground up like a big whole like a metor
I feel weird now. I am of course glad to see that the cow level might return BUT it would've been a lot better if blizz just didn't say a word about it and let us, the fans/players, find it, or find out if it even exists, for ourselves...
Just like they did with Quake 4, telling us that we were gonna get stroggified. It would of been better if no one told us.

SAY WHAT AGAIN, I DARE YOU, I DOUBLE DARE YOU MOTHER ******
if they add a cow level in D3 they need to add another animal that you have to fight... i say chickens.
My story behind the chickens.
i spent numerous times just chasing the chickens in the Rogue encampment just for fun. now the chickens makes an alliance with the cows and unite to fight the heros.
The Chickens can shoot rotten eggs at you while the cows fight you in close combat.
since we killed the Cow King in D2, in D3 you face the Chicken Queen who shoots eggs that do random types of damage.

I was going to say that!
But they should also have a Jester cow -but only sometimes- that drops a Diablo Pinata filled with goodies.
Also there should be more mooing. Mooooo!
