I'm pretty certain there will be potions... but they will be much rarer and will be only to "use in emergency" and for boss fights.

I can't imagine how you can have an epic long boss fight without potions or some way of healing... cause you don't kill anything for ages so health orbs won't be there.

Yea, but if that was in D3... God every hit, for every monster. Your screen would be filled with big numbers.

But it's not for every hit. You saw the video. The first scene with a million ghouls would have just been a spam of numbers. It was only a few times, and not very dominating...

I saw when the barb was taking on multiple, multiple ghouls it only came up a few times... meaning something specific must trigger it (like crits).

TBH it makes sense and sounds like good idea to me. If it was just triggered off critical strikes or crushing blows or special moves or something so you could see how big your biggest hits were. I mean thats what this game is all about, big hits, one/two shotting big monsters and wiping out large packs of little ones....

So many times I play D1 and D2 and wonder "just how hard am I hitting this guy".

A big thumbs up from me.

I honestly dont think we will see mercs. The comments made by Blizzard suggest an enviroment that promotes cooperative play and I dont think a computer sidekick is what they have in mind to promote this. Just going off there comments they want you to atleast pair(2 man group) up if not group(5 man group) up.

Remember they are adding a full on single player campaign mode, it's not ALL about the online play.

I thought we did see two mercs... the archer dudes that helped him. I mean like maybe there will be mercs, but they will be less involving than in D2

Installed Diablo and installing hellfire atm.

Totally kean.

So I just found my D1 and Hellfire cds..... /cum

Time to install and shit myself and orgasm at the same time from the awesome scaryness that is D1

Sierra did Hellfire O.o

IMO a lot of people are getting it all wrong by asking D3 to be exactly like (or really similar) to the past games... I actually think if it was you wouldn't like it or play it as much. I am happy the way it is looking atm and the direction it is heading.

The more I hear/see the comparisons between D3 and previous Diablo's I am happy with the way D3 is looking. HOWEVER, I do also feel this nostalgic pull towards Diablo 1 which was probably one of my favourites ever, I loved the creepy atmosphere, music, monsters, the dark imagery, it's generally decent difficulty level.... and the strategy required to play well.
But again I must stress this isn't what I (or I suspect a lot of people) would want from D3. I would be very happy if another game tried to clone it, and make a new world, similar, spooky, much more Horror driven than D2 and eventually D3 and challenging...
Just not D3

Yes i know it puts me in the category of "zomg too much like WoW" but really its just my preference. One thing i loved about D2 was the ability to pump skills up to rediculous amounts. Another fear is that they may do away with + to skills, so we won't see 30/20 or 10/5 type skills...

Anyone else have a similar or opposite opinnion, i'd like to hear it.

Well you remember abilities like Teleport, Burst of Speed, Curse of X, Piercing shot?

Theres a lot more but they were all abilities that just required one point and were completely over powered... however you would be mad to max them out... there were some skills that gained 1 bonus (say like lower resist) over 3-5 skill placements near the end.... whats the point?

I think this is by far the best change, so long as they implement it well... The ability you learn from placing 1 points.... needs to be backed up by = gains per point there after for the next 19 points.

I would be in favour if it was limited to similar distribution to what you had before... say you accidentally click a skill you don't want right next to one you do... I don't want to have to re0roll cause I miss clicked or accidentally double clicked....

So say you put 60 points in combat skills... and 20 in battle shouts... you can redistribute 60 in combat how you see fit and 20 in battle shouts.... but not change the order or start stacking passive abilities etc.

I'm making a Diablo Tetris game. It should be done by tomorrow ish.

Here it is: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/447372

Ok I have to admit that is ftw... problem is it's too easy

How is this thread still alive >.<...

But deckard cain date ftw

Yeah I don't THINK they will... but my opinion on class specific loot is that it is very bad. Takes away all the creativity of building a new character

I hope they don't have full sets of armour that are "Barbarian only"... I don't mind one or two class specific items. they were pretty sweet.
I don't mind SETS (green) that are designed specifically towards a class, but yeah if they have like, all the uniques that are plate say "barbarian only" I will probably re consider playing this game.

Thunder and Fist of Heavens? I think it was looked cool. Chain lightning looked pretty decent too.

I always loved nova spells so hopefully they will make a return.

I do like him, locust swarm looks SWEET. Zombie wall looks a little cheesy and doesn't last long enough... but I'm still kean.

Fire bomb is basically fire blast from the Assassin's trap tree. I like it, a decent sort of filler spell, I think he's kind of an alchemist and it looks like a Molotov cocktail so it makes sense.

I like the variety in play, like you can summon pets, then buff them with the same spell your damaging opponents, and if you get too swarmed you can blow them up XD

Anyway 95% of the complaining on these forums is unfounded and just stupid... your all judging the game which hasn't even hit alpha yet from 20 minutes of a gameplay video in which you have no control in what you see.
