Isn't Diablo sort of an MMO?

Not by a long shot.

Quote from "Michoco" »

hey "unclean" guy, what's your point? D3 sucks because the guys you met ten years ago are not in the team anymore, that's it? Anybody can be replaced. How would you know these guys from the past would do better? I am curious what they'd say about the game as it is now by the way.

and what you say being the essence of the game is only your opinion, which you should formulate in a more humble way since you are not dev but just a fan like any of us.

You're responding to a retard with a superiority complex... I just gave up in time.

But to conclude it actually would take away the whole diablo-feeling completely. The angle plays a huge part like many other things which would be destroyed in an MMO.

You DO know that 'MMO' does not mean free mouselook and WASD movement? There's several MMOs with isometric perspective and point&click interface. Maybe it wouldn't be an MMORPG, maybe something like MMOH&S?

Quote from "permaximum" »

He said "original diablo".NOT diablo 2.There is no one from the team who made "original diablo" in new team You should read carefully and be objective son.

For the sake of being objective, he is talking about Diablo 2 as the entire series apparently, and completely ignores the original game, and the fact that D3 is much closer to D1 than D2 was, so saying "original diablo team" has more sense in the context of meaning "original diablo team that made D2" but if it's not, then it's just the lowest level of rethorics a negative forum sob who's only purpose is to spread hatred and negativity can resort to.

I can see clearly now.The next diablo game (after so called DIII) will be MMORPG and be called "World of Sanctuary"

Copy today's date and my words to your notebook....

I'll hold you to that word. But it better not be just false promises.

Did he mean "runewords" en that they wont be showing up in D3???? 'Cause if they don't, that would absolutely SUCK!!! :mad:

Yes, he meant that there won't be anymore runewords but whoever transcribed the interview made a typo. Actually most fans rejoice hearing that they are removing the most cancerous element that destroyed D2.

Quote from "Felthuzad_The_Unclean" »

And I'm not if it means sacrificing the absolute essence of the series - randomness and the replayability it means.

If only you knew what was the 'absolute essence' of the series.

Quote from "Felthuzad_The_Unclean" »

- Not a single guy from the original "Diablo" Blizzard North team

It's already said that at least one third of Blizz North is in the new D3 team, including essential people such as the lore designer, lead programmer, lead animator, concept artist....

- The exact same static world in every game

Did you know that outside world in Diablo I was absolutely static every time you played? That's because it was a dungeon crawler. Diablo 3 is returning to the spirit of the series by putting the main accent on the actual dungeons, thus they will be completely randomized.

As for the outside worlds, they won't be entirely identical each time but you didn't care to read and understand what was said. Part's of the outside world will still be randomly cut out and replaced with different parts. Sounds better than majority of bland and pointless random squares in D2, where areas which weren't random boasted more detail and vibrance, like Travincal, 5th level of the Forgotten Tower, Andariel's lair, Mephisto's lair... etc.

This is old. The interview and the transcript have been posted several news entries below.

One of the things I hated about D2 was the fact that it took you tons of time and resources to find some unique item, and then it turns out that it's stats are too low. I mean, aren't unique weapons supposed to be... unique? This was especially lame with +skill modifier randomization.

I'm glad to hear that boss battles will actually be battles rather than boring clickfests that require no skill. Just wonder how well they will be able to pull it off.

This thing hurts my ears and I can barely understand anything. Any transcripts?

Hmm.. what's up with those screenshots, back to brown again...?

It's a different dungeon and it's wowish purple, not brown.

From the moment they announced D3, I never saw a single similarity between WoW and D3. But the new dungeon really does remind me of something that came out from WoW. I hope it's some experiment or something like that.

Quote from "Makenshi" »

Link to these new screens? I scrolled the interview transcript and saw no pics of the (previously) green fields...

I see no pics of previously green fields. Care to link?

All I see is are two screenshots of a new dungeon.

Quote from "permaximum" »

From the screens it's obvious that the game's look will change a lot until gold version.Especially after the new art director comes.(i don't think blizz is lookin for a puppet to fill this role)

You're a puppet.

Uhhhh - they removed the green? What? This is a new dungeon duh. Or at least they implemented randomized dungeon tints like in D1 which would rock.

But now that I look at this.... The purple dungeon does kinda remind me of several dungeons I've seen in WoW. o.O

There was never a green dungeon in WoW quite like the one shown in the first trailer.

I hope they know what they're doing...

Quote from "Djinn_690" »

Are they even going to post a part 2 on their site

I keep waiting for it too.

What happened with your sig.

Quote from "VegasRage" »

I'll say it again, there are a bunch of people here who are an informercials best friend.

Well you can't deny that D3 looks and feels perfect. It's just that it's so convenient to channel your internet rage through topics such as this. First everyone hated D2 when it came out, then everyone hated WoW when it got out, now everyone hates D3..... Nothing changes except the fact that they are and will remain legendary games. It's just the matter of what comes next to complain about, right?
