Honestly the pathetic 8,000 of you who signed that damn petition are pretty lame. Just trust blizzard. Besides 8,000 signiatures isnt remotely close to the MILLIONS of people who will end up buying the game

Well that is the same angel that is near the mana orb on the gameplay footage. And from the past it always seemed to represent evil/good I think. Though I dont paticularly think Tyrael will become evil, I do think it might be some sort of fallen angel. And I honestly think hands down we will see Diablo in this game

They have the other characters PLAYABLE at the office if you watched the Interviews and panels you would know.

The game is FAR ALONG according to the Dev's.

Do you think 40% is FAR ALONG?



People don't realize that Blizzard is very secretive and would not let us see anything because they need things to keep the hype going, they will release new information every month and release the game around Christmas THIS YEAR.

I am sure of this.

LOLZ That sir... is a bold statment
Though I hope to the burning hells that you are right =)

That's obvious, but it's now when Blizzard should see hear the fans roar, if almost half of the fans think that they need to rethink their art design, it's better for them to see that now, not in few more months into the development.

The games already been in development for 3 years. Concept art is like one of the first stage of developing a game. Aside from completely redoing every single graphic the only thing they could really do is tone down the lighting a bit. If you really want to wait an extra 2 years to get your game just because your graphics in ONE paticular spot in the game werent as pretty as you'd hoped then thats kind of sad. Wait till more content is released till you make a judgement... it cant ALL be "gothic" every good game needs contrast

My personal opinion is that nothing at all needs to be changed. Honestly did you think anything seemed "Dark or Gothic" about the sands of the desert levels in D2? Not really at all it was very bright. Besides, not all areas are as corrupted by the demons of hell as others and I think there should be contrast to show that... like there already is. It was bright as they first stepped out but it got darker and scarier as it ran towards the boss fight at the end of the gameplay video.

Honestly, do you really think that you want to put the creators of Diablo 3 into a position where they need to redesign and push it back another year or two? I'd hope not, I think the game looks amazing AS IS!

Are you talking about the slot on the top right? I'm pretty sure that's a new slot for pauldrons..shoulder armor.

Touche Johnny, I was thinking it could go right beside or underneath the minimap but now that you mention it would get a bit cluttered. On a side note, I do love the new minimap... I hated running around with a semi transparent map covering my whole screen just because I didnt remember where I was lol

Something else I noticed in the screenshots that is a slight annoyance to me is how that there is a buff icon in the lower left hand corner of the screen... does anyone else find this to be a bit odd of a placement? I figured upper right would be better

Theres still a need for bags as the inventory space you start off with is pretty small but you can make it bigger through bags. Its not like we suddenly have a mega-inventory, just one that, as I said before, doesn't cause choppy gameplay through going back and forth through town ports.

Yeah making a port just to sell loot was a bit annoying, when you just wanna run around kicking some demon ass lol

I guess it'll either be like in guild wars or like in the mythos beta - in guild wars you can see what drops for the other people but you can't pick it up unless they leave it there for a while. In mythos you can't see other peoples drops at all, which is a bit weird because you still see them go and pick it up

Yeah that would be rather wierd... I personally would like to see thier drops, and be restricted from picking them up than seeing them running around the screen like a freak >_<

Even Scrolls (and i'm sure potions, runes, gems) take up one slot as well. So in some ways this system can limit the inventory compared to the old system.

I don't really care about the inventory too much.

Yeah but I'm sure they will give some items the ability to stack :thumbsup:

Edit: Actually... they already HAVE given the items the ability to stack... check the screenshots!

Quote from "Jackzor" »

Well the inventory change should be nice, its still not huge so as to outdate the stash and you can just go on like 5 dungeon runs and still have room, but its not so small that you'll have to intterupt your playing time in order to empty your inventory.

I agree with you hear Jackzor, World of Warcraft has OBVIOUSLY taken a lot of advice from the diablo games and I dont think Diablo using WoW to make it that much better is any worse. I think the new inventory system will work well for this game and I'm looking forward to giving it a try.

Anyways great find Kazo, glad somebody can do all that tedious compiling

Still top secret job openings on blizzards website... let the speculation begin. Do you think its another wow expansion? Starcraft MMO? Diablo MMO? I'm curious to see what you guys think it might be!

Wow isnt that great in terms of storytelling, but I think the gameplay is absolutely amazing theres nothing better than upgrading a seemingly endless slew of skills and abilities and professions. And finding better armor and junk... its a great game when it comes to character building, other than that its just mindless garbage. I hope they take a lot of the character building aspects of WoW and put it into Diablo 3s amazing gameplay

Honestly IMO, you will probably see similar classes just going by different names and stuff for the sake of new content... like a heavy magic user might be something like a Wizard or a range weapon person would be an Archer, or maybe even some sort of Hunter. I also think they will have something completely new that hasnt even been introduced in a diablo game yet but will have melee capabilities maybe some sort of battlemage idk.
