Shiniku posted a message on Location similarities in Diablo II and IIILet's read this post with one extra comma:Posted in: News
"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.) -

Shiniku posted a message on Why Jay Wilson Lets His Daughter Play Diablo 3.Posted in: News
Indeed. I read this interview like Ron Burgundy, can't help but make everything sound like a question.Quote from "Eldritch" »That? was an? amusing interview?, thanks for? sharing.
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. -

Shiniku posted a message on Bashiok Explains Monk Class Not From 'Hellfire'.Posted in: News
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.)Quote from "Kazamu" »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.
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. -

Shiniku posted a message on New Diablo 3 Character Class: The Monk!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.Posted in: News
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! -

Shiniku posted a message on Has the Tetris Inventory and Magic Find Returned?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.Posted in: News
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. -

Shiniku posted a message on Diablo III Bestiary Update- Return of the Fallen!Posted in: News
Well yeah. And I hope they do the color changes in DIII as well.Quote from "Pjanoo" »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.
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. -

Shiniku posted a message on Diablo III Bestiary Update- Return of the Fallen!Posted in: News
Weren't the Fallen ones in Diablo more greyish/purplish black? And they were under the monastary.Quote from "Dauroth" »They were always red! I think the color is just fine! :thumbsup:

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. -

Shiniku posted a message on Diablo III Bestiary Update- Return of the Fallen!Cool, an update! Cool, Fallen!Posted in: News
..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. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

Personally, I wouldn't mind if the models were re-used. As long as there was still plenty to choose from, it wouldn't bother me. It would be cool if they did all have unique models, but I'd prefer they spend their time on more important things.

Any suggestions of what I should do?

Besides, Diablo doesn't have res skills, so the only thing equatable to rezing in diablo when compared to WoW or whatever IS rezing at the healer.
I don't see what point you're trying to make, actually.

Diablo III just doesn't seem at all done.
Things we know they're not done on:
-Still concepting female monk
-In that same article he mentions the fifth class might be a returning thing - but also says that might change. if the fifth class is still this uncertain then surely they have a lot of work to do.
-Death penalty system
-Worked out economy
etc. There's all kinds of things we can assume aren't done yet, too. Probably tons of creatures, acts beyond A2, etc, etc. There's a lot. It can't be done within the next few months. The few months before a game's release is all about last minute testing and packaging, they'd have to be essentially done with it.
But yeah, here's hoping you're right.

I hope they think of something though, death should be more than a minor inconvenience. But, I'll be playing hardcore so it doesn't make a difference to me.

Aghh, noo! No more MMO bullshit in Diablo!
Second thought:
This isn't going to affect me much. Sure, I would like to keep high-level items I've used to sell or use on a new character, but that's exactly what they're trying to prevent, so it'll probably be good for the economy.
It will just make me put extra thought into equipping an item at high levels.
Besides, being a hardcore player, getting to level 85 doesn't happen too often.

I don't think that classifies as pure cheese just yet.
To a lot of lore junkies and people comfortable with the world of sanctuary, no, a Diablo game doesn't need Diablo. But, I think to the common audience, which will contain plenty of players new to the series thanks to the popularity of WoW, I think it would just seem stupid. And i don't think Blizzard is stupid.
My money is on Diablo being in D3.

It would change the entire world of Sanctuary, and that's something I sure don't want.
