    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*:)

    posted a message on Please, Blizzard, let there be a monthly fee.
    Pay to play doesn't stop children. Its easy to go steal a credit card out of your dad wallet and pay online and keep the card numbers to pay for the subscription. The best way to get rid of kids is to grief them in game until they cry and through a fit and break their computers :)

    As for me pay to play gets somewhat costly because I don't have the ability to play online as much as I'd want to so it becomes a value vs. cost thing for me. I liked playing wow but I was unable to play hardly at all so I had to suck it up and quit. On top of that I like to play these games with my wife so its not just 15 bucks for us but 30. So the costs add up.

    'sans-serif'>No offense to any of you WOW players, but I can tell who is a WOW player and who is not. (I played wow for 2 years) Anyone who is for the easy gold respec is obviously a WOW player. Gold will become obsolete as the game moves on just as it has become inflated in MMO economies. Blizz needs to be very careful on how they handle the respecing because one of d2's charms is that you can level two barbarians and they can be completely different characters. This leads to TONS of replayablility.

    'sans-serif'>Replayability is good! Easy respec is BAD! I feel that you should not be able to respec at all. Its works fine in D2...why fix it?


    wow! nice text there phunky:thumbsup:

    posted a message on Blizzard Comments On The Classes In Diablo 3
    I don't know I think a pure caster will may not be a for sure thing. If everything is about "everyone" kicking in heads at the same time then it may be less likely that a spell caster will be incapable of melee attacks. (actually I think that would be very cool, have a butt kicking spell caster that wields swords and can actually take a punch! wait a minute . . . isn't that really just a paladin?)

    Didn't Blizz say something about a reduced need for healing anyway?

    A couple of re-specs would be fine by me. Yes, I love to dabble in every spell and see how they work and a lot of times I am horribly disappointed. That's life. If I haven't figured out what spells and actions complement my play style by 2-3 respecs I really shouldn't be playing that class.

    Wow is a different beast altogether because there are a lot of different types of classes and many are only functional on certain quests or areas. For instance, you might finish one set of quests and move on to the next area and find out that you are completely ill equipped to fight there and must respec to survive. The random nature of diablo should mute the need for a large variety of classes and constant respecing(? my spelling sucks!)

    posted a message on Why not release playable demo now?
    I would love a pre-release demo, but I don't think it will happen. I never felt like d2 ever really showed its greatness until the last quest of the first act. That would be an incredibly long demo!

    posted a message on What about new skills
    Personally I would like some skills to cross over some classes. Having a specific set of skills, or skill trees, for one class but also have some skills available to all classes or a couple.

    Quote from "ycat" »
    I dont like the idea of World of Diablo. It would ruin the overall feel of the game.

    In diablo 1/2, YOU were the hero, it was up to YOU to save everyone. I dont want to be in a town full of hundreds of other people trying to do what im doing, i dont want to see people farming quill rats. diablo's gameplay elements, hack+slash, fast paced, hordes of monsters coming at you constantly, is something i cant image an MMO accomplishing.

    That would be great, having hundreds of people farm quill rats! :D It doesn't necessarily have to be about everyone being a hero. The game could take place when there are different factions of peoples. Just because many people banded together to fight evil a long time ago doesn't mean they are united now. It could have a mix of hero seekers and those trying to further their factions reach for power and basically ignore the hordes of demons.

    You never know you may be able to easily balance the game so it appeals to the die hard hack and slashers while still appealing to the role players that want to be have a game centered around infighting.

    posted a message on Anyone else feel the same way?
    If all of the forces of evil do is just hide out in caves and dungeons then they really aren't that much of a menace, now are they? :P

    Still some great indoor levels with intricate detail would definitely be welcomed. You got to get a nice mix of the two.

    i wouldn't worry too much warcraft always had a toony element but diablo is hard core. if it was an mmo i think it would stay ultra violent and be difficult. I think they would want to win back their hard core fans since WoW

    Actually I think these have been around quite a while. They are pretty vague but yes I jumped to that conclusion when I first saw them a while back.

    I'll support them. They make quality games and they value the work they put out, even if they are starting to get a little money hungry:O. Though if they said they would NEVER make another diablo game I would definitely be upset, like grabbing a spray paint can and venting my rage at their building.

    Dude your crazy. But you better do some crazy editing or it will be speedily deleted:O

    Hey somebody had to put the information up on wiki. You should comment on the history of the franchise or something to that effect so it wont get deleted.
