Why can't I see the image? I see 'click to enlarge' but there's no image anywhere. It's not there whether I'm logged in or not.

Let's read this post with one extra comma:

"Diablo: @Midnightact We'll have five classes and no we're not creating the entire world in. We're visiting specific locations, similar to Diablo II."

I think that's what they meant. Not that they'll be visiting locations specifically similar to the ones in Diablo II (which would be a pretty poor choice, in my opinion) but that they are letting us playing in several select locations as opposed to the whole world (like in Diablo II.)

He was also the one who posted it on the official forums.

Didn't somebody on this Forum post this a few days before it was posted on the official forum? I thought so. Can't recall who it was.

Still, nice find by whomever.

That? was an? amusing interview?, thanks for? sharing.

Indeed. I read this interview like Ron Burgundy, can't help but make everything sound like a question.

Anyway, yes, interesting read. I think censorship sucks, and personally wouldn't ever want to tone down gore for audiences like Germany or Australia, but, that is kind of cruel to the people who live in those places who want to play the game, even if it is wildly censored.

As for his daughter playing D3... my first PC game was DOOM, followed by the original Diablo. It never really phased me, I turned out alright, right? Yeah, sure, let's go with yes. But it is refreshing to see a parent that actually does pay attention to what they're children are playing, instead of those parents who let their kids play M games and then get mad at the developers when it turns out there's blood in it.

This is one of the things that really annoyed me when I was reading web articles regarding Diablo III's new class. Everyone always talks about / compares with the "old" Monk from Hellfire, but if you look at the Hellfire disc (and/or box), there is NO mention of Blizzard. Rather, what you'll find is that Sierra, NOT Blizzard, developed Diablo: Hellfire. Blizzard only gave them the okay to make it.

Additionally, another way people could have found this out is by checking Blizzard's website. Nowhere can support for Diablo: Hellfire be found. This is actually kind of disappointing though, because as it turns out Sierra hasn't really been supporting it either, so with all of the Diablo patches, Hellfire has gotten rather bugged as a result.

I wouldn't be so harsh on people. I'm sure a lot of them realized Hellfire wasn't developed by Blizzard, but that doesn't rule out the possibility of this class being a continuation of that one, and also just because it had a different developer doesn't always mean it's non-canon (in this case it does, but not everyone is aware of that.)

It is kind of clear right off the bat that these monks share nothing but the name, but I still wouldn't be too harsh on the people who didn't realize Hellfire was non-canon.

I hope these guys aren't just like, healing monks, because... well, Diablo isn't an MMO. It will be cool if they have hand to hand skills, maybe some paladin-esque auras or whatever.. some good offensive stuff, is what I mean.

Just watched videos: yeah, looks like it'll be like what I hoped - cool. Still, not as cool as I'd like. I'm tired of robes and rags, give me some fucking armor!

Woo! I am thrilled. Don't care too much about MF.. I did use it in Diablo II, but it never struck me as fun to do nothing but farm.

I love that the tetris inventory is back though, at least in some form. I mean, it looks like there are only two sizes of item (one slot, and two slot) so it's not exactly the same, but still a nice throwback to my precious memories. And will probably be easier to organize.

Ofcorse, because they wanted the fallen to become stronger when you advance further into the game. And they obviously had to change the appearance a bit too so they just changed the colors.

Well yeah. And I hope they do the color changes in DIII as well.

I'm just saying maybe Smudge had a point, and the color choices weren't just arbitrary for a need to make a new color, but maybe it had something to do with where they were located.

They were always red! I think the color is just fine! :thumbsup:

Weren't the Fallen ones in Diablo more greyish/purplish black? And they were under the monastary.

Also worth noting that the fallen in Diablo II are dark (black) under the monastary.

So, I think it's a legitimate gripe, you could argue a case that the color of the fallen ones was at least somewhat based on their location.

Cool, an update! Cool, Fallen!

..and it's all downhill from there. I don't know. The hounds, lunatics, and overseers are okay additions I guess, but why? I don't need any more types of fallen really, I'd rather see other new enemies, and have them be mixed up. Also, how many bursting fat guys does the game need?

They're also a bit damn bright. But so is everything I guess.

Another thing, the page mentions them being bright red.. we sure seem them bright red.. does any of this mean that we won't be seeing any different colored versions of them? I liked being able to see a few different colored variants on them, and then once you're out of act I you don't really see them again.

I mean, with all this time they're spending fleshing them out with new types of fallen, are they going to try to have different levelled versions appear throughout the game? Or have they gone to this much trouble on the enemies further in the game as well?

I don't know, I'm speculating too much, happy to see an update though.
