Does NOBODY remember how shitty Act 1 of D2 was? This is a vast improvement.
Edit: sorry for flaming

I would like if they sharpened the graphics a little and added more textures, like grittier and bloodier stone. Yes, cartoony = bad.

However, I disagree with making the game more gray. Gray = more boring imo, and more of a sore to my eyes. I like the color.

You can still have spookiness and gore with a color.

I loved the brief conversation with Cain. The nostalgia from "Stay a while, and" was great, and "Bah, nobody ever listens" was hilarious.

Also, I think the girl's voice actor (who also voice acted Sylvanas in Warcraft) is great.

My dad still plays D2 single player. He never goes online. Only game he plays nowadays. (I'm kind of opposite - I'll play anything, even if I suck at it, and I've got a ton of games that I cycle through. Last time I played D2 was probably a year or two ago)

Wow, 11 pages... not much point to asking anything, chances are it's already been asked, but why not...

What will the skill system be like?

Will there be sets?

Will there be the Horadric Cube, or something similar?

Will there be runewords?

Will there be uniques?

Will there be any shapeshifters (werewolf, werebear, somebody who can turn into a demon, etc.)?

I wonder what the skill trees will be like. If they decide to use a system like D2's, what do you think the skill trees will be for the Witch Doctor? Barbarian? And keep it between 3 and 5 skill trees per character.
Witch Doctor:
Curses (horror)
Undead (summons, zhombie wall)
Elemental (fire, ice, disease)
Barbarian: same as D2

True. Maybe a taking damage system could be implemented.
Damage over time is still damage. Regeneration will also have to be considered. Not saying it is easy, I just dislike the new system enough to actually care about another.



To be honest, I have no idea what "DPS" stands for. Please enlighten me so I can bitch you:P

damage per second

Could some1 describe to me the proposed loot system for D3 and the loot system in WoW? Thanks
Oh, just clarified...
So will a boss drop an item for every party member? And nobody else can see what you get?
What are NM's?
How does it work in WoW?

It need this. Not my work, posted over at diabloii.net. We should post feedback like this on the official battle.net forums.

On the second comparison, I prefer the original. I like the color.
Yeah, yeah, D1 was scary, blah blah... but none of the games actually evoked heart wrenching fear. The Diablo games aren't horror movies; they're just games with a dark atmosphere. I enjoy the dark atmosphere, but I also enjoy the lighter fantasy element. With the first comparison, I agree, it should look a bit bloodier and darker - you're in the spooooky dungeons. But outside, I want some fresh air along with my monster slaying. Besides, I'm sure there's going to be plenty of other outside environments that are darker, like jungles, icy places, or anywhere nearer the bigger Bad Guys (I say Bad Guys 'cause we don't know if all the Prime Evils are returning, do we?)

More blood good, better textures on stone surfaces good, rest... *shrug* The gameplay video had a few darker corridors, so I don't think the grayer tone is needed... but it does look cool. Maybe there could be an alternate graphic setting? lol... like there's a vivid, intense, and couple other graphic settings in UT3

I disagree. D1 was a bit scary, but the environments were also a bit bland. D2 was a vast improvement, imo. D3, the environments we saw in gameplay video looked like early D2 levels, but scarier and better.

The only thing I saw was like the first levels in D2 (early dungeons and fields, like with the Raven boss), but better. I love the little details, like body parts falling over the sides of the path in the dungeon. The speed seemed just as fast, faster with the Barbarian charging and leaping around. The bosses looked cool and interesting and ugly - which is great. And I like the billion skeletons that spawned after the second boss died - he dies with a vengeance, lol. I loved the zombie wall (how is that cartoony?). The new trap was cool. Everything was cool! I can't wait...

jeez why is everyone hating on the good ol' druid, it was my favorite class.. only thing it lacked was good hell difficulty fighting abilities. i could see every class making a comeback, aswell as some new ones like the witch doctor, which btw we don't know if he summons undead, i saw the female witch doctor bringing up a elemental pet and that wall of undead is just a wall, much like the bone wall the necro casted only it can attack. what im saying is what we saw in the gameplay footage in my opinion was high levels demonstrating just mainly lower level abilities.

by the way the game looks like its using the SC2 Engine and it looks really awesome, already canceled my AoC account hahaha.

I liked the druid too.

I really hope there's either a druid style wolf/bear shapeshifter, or a demon shapeshifter, like Illidan in W3.

I'm upset by almost everybody automatically assuming that there's going to be a paladin.

1)
Barbarian looks like he's going to be a shitload of fun, leaping and charging around. Charge and shouts will probably replace D2's paladin.

2)
Witch Doctor also has fire and ice, which makes him a bit like the sorceress/druid/necromancer mix, which is a lot.

3)
I think they've got to have a more mainstream magic caster than the Witch Doctor, so a sorcerer/elementalist seems pretty likely.

4)
Someone who is proficient with a bow is a must-have. In D2 that was the amazon, but now that we've got female barbarians, I think the amazon isn't as likely as a new archer/assassin/thief mix. (the rogue in D1 was basically just an a bow/knife wielder)

5)
That would leave one class left. Maybe...
A more healing oriented paladin (I'm hoping for something weirder)
A druid/hunter mix (only problem is this would be a bit like an Anti-Witch Doctor - but I'd love to play as a Werewolf again, or to be able to summon puppies to horribly maul my enemies)
A demon and curse oriented Necromancer (Necro of course kicks ass, and I think they could make the class sufficiently different from the Witch Doctor)

However, my bet goes to this:
A class that uses powers directly from demons and angels, and can even summon lesser demons and angels (I think this class would have a lot of potential - summon lightning from heavens, summon zergling like demons from the earth, and transform himself into a powerful being, Illidan style)

Whenever I try to open up Diablo 3 website, it takes forever to load, and I can play the trailers, but the rest of the site doesn't show up, so for example if I go to the World Map link, I don't see anything but the background and I hear cool music. I normally use Firefox, but I've also tried Safari.
Does anybody have alternate links that I can use? I'd like to see that map, plus screenshots, and stuff like monster descriptions
