    Have you ever mistaken a rare with a unique in D2? I know I havent. Why fix something that isnt broken? They could also make the name of the unique in bold.

    Not broken for you. I'm colorblind and have issues telling the difference between Yellow and Gold. The only way I can tell if something is rare or unique in D2 is a slight difference in the degree of bold in the font. It's near impossible when stuff is dropping constantly. Can't tell the difference between blues/purples in WoW either. I'm glad that Blizz is taking the time to help those of us that are color-retarded from birth. Won't stop me from playing the game otherwise but it sure as hell makes things a lot simpler for me.

    You like everything that they throw at you dont you? I was just voicing my opinion. By wowish I meant how the spells look and how the characters look and their gay names, except for barb.

    And just for the record, WoW took TONS of influence from Diablo and Diablo 2, which took TONS of influence from D&D, which took TONS of influence from....(etc etc)

    Honestly, it drives me absolutely batty when people complain about "WoW influences" when most of those are taken from diablo to begin with. You know, skill trees, etc

    Anyway, we're getting off topic. The Wizard.

    I don't understand you kids. You complain when they don't do something new, then complain when they do something new. Stop having a double standard.

    In my humble opinion, "Cloud of daggers" isn't really an original idea. ;) Although, as Voltaire once stated: "Originality is merely judicious plagiarism."

    The Witch Doctor is that. It's all you get. The next two are going to be a knight and rogue. This is Diablo after all.

    No ranged class when we've seen bows drop? Unless you think the rogue will be a ranger/rogue hybrid (which for the record could be right up my alley if implemented correctly).

    They were not kiding when '' Fans will get disapointed with our new class. It's very similar to a old one'' was said.

    Obviously some people will enjoy it and that's great. I'm just hoping the same thing doesn't happen with the next two classes as well.

    The wizard. Well, color me unimpressed.

    I want to say I'm happy for everyone that is excited about this class. It's great you've found something you will enjoy playing.

    That being said, I am very very disappointed. This class really really strikes me as BLAND. It's the same boring stuff I've done in games for years and years already. The same spells as D&D and countless other games (having gone through the released list of abilities as well as the gameplay video). I'm just not interested in playing the same character AGAIN.

    That being said, perhaps something will come in the next 2 characters that will knock my socks off and I'll say "Oh...I've just GOT to play that," but none of these trip my trigger at all.

    /sigh

    I want to say I'm happy for everyone that is excited about this class. It's great you've found something you will enjoy playing.

    That being said, I am very very disappointed. 3 classes thus far that I am completely uninterested in playing. The barbarian? Been there, done that. Same abilites shown from before, and I didn't even enjoy him much in D2. Witch Doctor? Just not my style. Would not enjoy playing him, I don't think. The Wizard?

    posted a message on Diablofans - WWI Card Tyrael Pet Contest
    Trading: More than anything else, I would like to see absolutely NO bind on pickup items. In my opinion this completely ruins any sense of immersion in the game. Why in the world would I not be able to trade an item just because I have used it? Makes no sense. The best thing in Diablo II was that you can trade anything at any time.

    A global auction house/trade center would be fantastic. Going back and playing Diablo II really shows this (trading) to be a glaring problem without using a forum.

    PvP-wise I would like to be sure that it isn't just a one-shot-kills-fest that Diablo II became. I hated how high runes were required (yes required) to do any sort of PvP. Playing legit, it can take quite a bit of time to gather enough runes to make a decent item and still you will be far far behind the people that somehow have a hoto/2 botd/engima in the first week of ladder. Also, I'm adamantly against the idea of battlegrounds or arena. Arena gear is bad enough for game balance in WoW; I certainly don't want that in Diablo!

    Game is looking great so far guys, keep up the good work! Cheers, Llama

    I highly doubt they will release then, probably not even in 2009. They are still in early development

    They arn't early in development. At the very minimum 2-3+ years in. What, you think they start working on the game when they announce it? ;)
    and they are releasing WOW (Wrath of the Lich King) at the time so Diablo III is probably or most likely impossible.
    There are 4 different teams at blizzard. WoW, Starcraft, Diablo, and an unnamed IP. These are seperate so they don't impact the development schedules of the others at all. Mutually exclusive teams.

    This makes me think of the south park one where he is killed in Hell by Satan (can't remember if it was the movie with Saddam or someone else) and he shows up in Hell again he says: "Where did you think I was going to go? Detroit?" :-p

    No matter what is announced at WWI, I have one thing to say. Blizzard. Die in a grease fire. In a lake. I mean that.

    Everyone is just speculating, you are the only one to claim that you know for sure.
    I believe you.

    Actually there have been over a dozen people now that have said they remember it so it's not just him. Whether they are making it up or not... /shrug

    As much as I want this to be Diablo III and I want that to be a Shael rune on the left - though undoubtedly that is a Hel Rune... my concern comes with this image:

    http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/1126/wlk12801024pf0.jpg

    Behold the top rune on the Lich King's Sword. The left rune looks far more like that than a Shael. I believe Blizz may just be recycling rune symbols to get our hopes up.

    Again, for people that don't bother reading the thread.

    That other one is ART. The replica sword is official and it doesn't have that left rune...

    Concerning the runes, I'll check if any infos are out about the one used by the death knights...

    Frozen Tundra Drifter Cavern Are both from Diablo 2 Act 5. I can make claims to that too. It proves nothing either way.
