This is how I think respeccing should be done:

There'd be some side quest that's out of the way and hard to find (like, if it was in D2, it'd be in Act 3, and it wouldn't show up on your quest log), and it's fairly difficult to accomplish. If you defeat it, then you have a choice to what reward you want. You can choose to get a tome of skills, which when used would allow you to respec ALL your skills (so if you were level 31, you'd get 31 respec points). However, you can only get this tome once per character - even if you do the quest again, or do the quest again in different difficulties. However, you can use the tomb more than once, so if you have other characters that have the tomb but don't need to respec, you can transfer it, or you could trade for it.
So every character could respec everything an average of once.
Also, you would not be allowed to respec in the middle of fighting.

And it's "possible" or "plausible," not "plossible."

Err, well, that's not how billing works, dude... if you pay for a month, you get a month. You'd be charged from Dec 27th to Jan 27th. So, I fail to see where you are going with that.

Otherwise, I agree, it's not about the money, it's about the trend of video games. Diablo 3 will not be an epic MMO, why should we pay for it as though it were?

Oh, my bad... but still, I might only want to play for a few days before school starts again, and then I'll stop playing

Say it's after Christmas, like December 27th, I'm playing GTA 4. I'm having a blast, but eventually I get tired of it, and I want to do something else. So I decide to pop in Diablo 3, play that for a while. But wait! I have to pay $5! I might as well just wait 'till next month to play. It's not like $5 is going to ruin me, but why pay $5 for up to four days of gaming?
One I'm trying to say is - paying money is a barrier to me playing.
And plus, $5 every month equals $60 a year, and that's a lot. A game should cost $60 or so, plus episodic content, expansion packs, plugins, new campaigns, etc., over its entire life. Not $60 a year.
So I think this is a terrible idea.

OMFG BLIZZARD KILLED DIABLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...

A) Watching a legion of ghouls rush towards you climbing up walls just to get to you is scarier than the den of evil
The two deaths in the demo were probably scripted - being trampled on or eaten probably won't happen unless you're really low health

Who says a Barb can't do what the Pally did in D2? He's good defensively and offensively. He's a tank, and he can support with shouts. Just make the shouts last long enough, and be strong and versatile enough, and making a paladin class would just be redundant.

I'd prefer an account stash. It'd be really nice to look at my stuff from all my characters and to be able to compare items more easily. And it'd be a pain mailing gems from one character to another just to combine them, or whatever.

I want it to be expanded to 12 or 16, and expanded to something huge like 40 for the Ubers

I hope the Barb gets this skill:
Rupture - the Barb swings his weapon (like in Cleave) striking nearby enemies with such force that their bodies become ruptured, and bleed whenever they move. Deals damage based on distance that the monsters travel.
So the Barb could charge into a group of monsters, Rupture a couple of times, then leap out, and watch all the monster die as they try to come at him, lol.
Pro - good damage, Con - bad on zombies and other slow moving creatures

Exactly. Being able to build attribute points to preference allows for a larger replay value.
Do I want to use this character for PvE or PvP type of desicions.
Maybe I want to have a magic caster run around in heavy armor and a maul, which having standard attribute points that you don't get to pick yourself wouldn't happen.

It'll already have a ton of play value and replay value. I'm not going to replay the same class with the same exact skills just to pick different stats. However, I'm not saying that others shouldn't be able to. I think they should allow respeccing of stat points.

It's a popular game. Ya shoulda waited in line like the rest of us if ya wanted a copy of the game.

20 years is enough to develop cannons, which I wouldn't be opposed to. There were catapults in the Siege of Harrogath, maybe Harrogath could fight back with cannons! *shrug*

I think the Tristram theme should be in D3. It's a staple of this series. Like Cain, Goatmen, Fallen and the big red machine.

It's one of the most recognised things about this series. Ask someone what they think defines this series and that score of music will come up.

It might not play will you are actually in the hamlet of Tristram, but maybe it's surrounding grasslands, or maybe it will play while you are in the township. I don't care too much either way, so long as it's in there.

I feel the same.

Unique's shouldn't be as rare, and there should be a LOT of good unique's, so there's lot of variety

And the reason I was thinking about Baal's soulstone was that maybe it could be used against him. Say, Baal doesn't think the soulstone matters anymore because the Worldstone's been destroyed, so he goes around destroying things, and then the hero steals the soulstone and gives it to Cain, who casts a spell on it, one he's been practicing his whole life, it's not in latin or any dead language but it's in the language he speaks, it's "Stay a while and listen..." and Baal goes "NOOOOOOOOO!!!" but Baal gets sucked into the soulstone to listen to Cain's stories for all eternity.

Okay, everything before "Cain" was serious, lol

Another question:

Why did the hero of D2 kill Diablo?
In the cinematic introducing Act 4, Mephisto told Diablo "Take your terror into hell!" or something to that effect. I think Mephisto wanted Diablo to regain control of hell (take it away from Belial or Azmodan, or both), and wanted Baal to corrupt/take over/destroy the Worldstone. So couldn't he have just let Diablo alone? It's not like he killed Diablo permanently (we hope) and I think Tyrael would have the sense to know that Diablo would not be killed permanently like that (we hope), so it just seems like a very dangerous detour, when they should have been going to Harrogath to defend the soulstone.

I might get tired of the feathered mask after a while, but I like the theme, and the skills look really fun and fun to use together.
