no d3 demo to my knowledge, if anything blizz will just do a in-house demo for a game like d3.. sc2 on the other hand there should be a demo.

You just restated what I said lol

im sorry, haha. its just always been my opinion on the matter regarding druid.

Quote from "Azylium" »

I personally think the shapeshifting is really one of the few things that still stands out enough to be reused on one of the last two D3 classes. Although if a new class uses it, the Druid is doomed as a returning character in future expansions, because I don't think they'd bring back a character that has a whole skilltree that's almost a copy of another class. So either we get a new class with shapeshift, or we get the Druid back in an expansion, probably.

yeah man you're right about that but im sure that they would make it badass enough so that there wouldn't be any need for him returning. it would just be the witch-doctor/wizard style, which i like.

druid has a lot of potential. Just to make few changes, work him out a little bit and we got powerful malee shapeshifting character...it could be good. but don't look at me, I don't work in blizzard.

i would love if the druid came back, he was my personal favorite!

The barbarian is the only returning class.........so with that said the wizard and WD are basically the spiritual successors to the sorc and necro respectively.....so your probably going to see some successor to the druid somewhere along the line...this kinda stuff has been discussed to death lol is there any need for more of it at this point?

well they did indeed say the barb was the only returning class but the wizard is just like the sorceress only revamped, if you look at the skill tree there are quite a few sorc skills in there.. so i do hope they have a revamped druid character that retains the shapeshift talent tree/skills.

most definately buyin it and sc2.

I prefered the manual stat system, but I can live with auto stats its not that bad as long as the game devs make up for that lack of customization somewhere else int he game. Altho in the end everyone's stats were the same in D2....

the problem you'd have with manually assigned stats is that players like wizards, will become nukers and then you have your melee barb who's trying to pk, but wont have much of a chance with that wizard teleporting around throwing godlike crap at you. even if melee barb tried to counter a nuker it would be near impossible to level the k/d ratio between the two if they were to have a couple rounds, you either got full str, leaving your barb dry in health or full health.. which isnt gonna do much. don't be dissapointed cause ya heard they will do it automatically, just put some thought into why they did that.

oh and guys you apparently don't have to worry about the name of the affixe bashiok didnt write down something like this.

thieving jerk - increased gold drop from monsters
i raise you one, omg xp! - higher experienced gained from monsters

lol. goodluck guys create some good ones.

check-one,two.. test test. sweet. im gonna have to come up with somethin though just using a filler.

i dont recall pallys being vastly superior in hell although they were the strongest going into hell and yes i can recount multiple times where i died trying to run some buddies through and most occured in act 4.

one thing you're forgetting is that we dont know anything about diablo 3 only that there will still be resistances and i think immunities (if i can recall it, read it from an interview.) they said they would go about that in a different manner though. im highly sure they already have the other 2 classes on their way so who knows, there could be a paladin type class but i doubt it would be like anything in their previous games.

with the way they're doing it:
witch doctor - some necro skills used just reinvented while also adding totally new skills.
wizard - quite a few sorc skills used and also reinvented.

so what im thinking if there isnt a druid then maybe there will be a class inspired after him and some skills will be transferred and just reinvented on the new character. i'm hoping a character that can shapeshift atleast that's not the druid just druid inspired.

we did see a bow though so that might be an early teaser to a class coming up. as much as i love paladin and my last class played was a paladin, i just dont see him coming back but he could make a good fit with his auras.

im guessing you guys didnt get "the file has certain restricted features. please enter the permissions password to remove the restrictions." maybe it's something on my part.

edit: nevermind got it.

If you want an unfair and brutal PvP game, maybe you should try WoW.

don't forget age of conan.

also about this "4" "no no i want 8!" bullshit, cut it out alright.
with 4 players you'll have:

1. low to no lag ingame or on b.net
2. corpses that stay around aswell as blood/decal effects on the body/floors/walls
3. less clutter
4. more tactile
5. no spam
6. no instant killing bosses
7. equipment becomes more valuable
8. little to no wait time filling up the game
9. can easily get a couple friends together to make up a full game
10. more unique encounters and diverse boss fights

with 8 you won't get all that. i could probably even list more.

i dont see a WoW system being implemented here.. just think about the amounts of shit that will be coming out of monsters, while you're trying to stay alive and kill shit you're gonna have all this other shit poppin up on your screen. so i dont think itll work as you think.. the way blizzard has done it keeps it true and makes it fair, there's also no clutter.

under social you could possibly access the friends list and guild tab. Maybe the ignored players list too. Its how it happens in every multiplayer game.

damn good point man heh i completely forgot about those.. i know its not a mmo but there might be that possibility for guilds friends/ignored could be in the same tab, saves space.

Quote from "AcidReign" »

I think the real question is, is what character will be the most overpowered?

damn good question man, i think they all put in their 2cents.. they dont want to give an advantage over another class like an mmorpg where you play a role, tank/dps etc.. etc.. prob the one that sticks out to me as being the "damage dealer" is wizard.. followed by barb then witch-doctor.

Quote from "angelmaz" »

Right, because the WoW nerf/buff rollercoaster never happened...right?

i think you should take a look at the game in hand.. diablo 3, if its true 4 players per game and they have a 50+ person development team.. 6 classes, this isnt world of warcraft. i realise theres alot to consider armor/runes/skills/pve/pvp but this game is going to be incredibly polished.

Social menu in D2: People in game. No out-of-game "Social Menu" akin to what is being spoken of in this convo. (You had commands to check friends lists, not an actual menu.)

Social menu in WoW: Friends list. Ignore list. Guild list. Channel list. Looking-for-group (Should you choose to enter "Looking for Group".).

The WoW one was much more in depth, and more fitting for a game of this day and age, but seeing as there is a unnatural fear of anything having to do with WoW on this forum, people here probably just want the D2 style social menu.

hey ya check out my post? its a lil up above, im interested if i could possibly have something going with it.. if they can make tabs on the skills menu they can make tabs on the social menu. about your commands that might be true for diablo 2 but with diablo 3 altho im sure there will be commands they might make it more user friendly for those who dont feel like typing out something that will appear for a couple seconds then dissapear. i believe this way players can invite friends to games etc.. with the new b.net who knows though.
