Great advantage in PVP, Blizzard and then teleport away from the barbs vicious whirlwind. I do think it would be better if it stayed out of the game as well though.
Diablo was never a hardware-intensive game.
I would say
- 2.0ghz dual core,
- 2gig of RAM,
- 2-4GB hard drive space
- 256MB Dedicated Video card
That should run to at least minimum spec. I would say it's more important to upgrade to a Killer N1 NIC card for smoother online gameplay, they are putting alot more action on screen at once and those gaming NIC cards can finally have a purpose. They won't make your connection any faster, it just properly distributes the connection information and won't overheat. I would suggest that to be a main upgrade for desktops.
I just read how they are calling D3 project Hydra. This makes me further believe the three headed demon is diablo because they pulled that out of literature as well. I am sure you know Hydra is a many headed beast, what you may not know is that Hercules killed the Lernaean Hydra. So now my first pick of class will be a Barb hahaha
Lets hope not 3-4 years, They keep mentioning how they would like to take their time with this release. Hoping for 1-2yrs some of the hardest aspects of the game are already complete such as the game engine and physics processor. That means the gameplay programming is mostly complete. It's probably all artwork scenery and aesthetics that will take up the time now.
I got through 8 pages of reading people's theory's on how it is the three brothers morphed into one that I just said screw it and posted skipping pages 9-12 where of course it was probably mentioned. I just think Blizzard would go with that more than some of the other opinions. That's why I put detail into it.
I think I can prove that the three-headed demon is Diablo. Hear me out on this one.
If anyone read the Divine Comedy (Dante's Inferno) you should see the similarity immediately
Satan who is in the 9th circle of hell has 3 faces, each of a color, and each eternally chewing traitors, Judas Iscariot, Brutus and Cassius
Here is a Wikipedia entry to better explian,
Dante and Virgil, with no one to talk to, quickly move on to the center of hell. Condemned to the very center of hell for committing the ultimate sin (treachery against God) is Satan, who has three faces, one red, one black, and one a pale yellow, each having a mouth that chews on a prominent traitor. Satan himself is represented as a giant, terrifying beast, weeping tears from his six eyes, which mix with the traitors' blood sickeningly. He is waist deep in ice, and beats his six wings as if trying to escape, but the icy wind that emanates only further ensures his imprisonment (as well as that of the others in the ring). The sinners in the mouths of Satan are Brutus and Cassius in the left and right mouths, respectively, who were involved in the assassination of Julius Caesar (an act which, to Dante, represented the destruction of a unified Italy), and Judas Iscariot (the namesake of this zone) in the central, most vicious mouth, who betrayed Jesus.
good work guys, hopefully d3 dosn't get pushed that far back but would like them to stick the WoW designers back in their office and off the barb's attire.
Do you think Blizzard will incorporate a voice chat feature in the online multi-player? If so what do you think this will do to the gameplay. I am leaning towards sticking to the text chat it's less invasive to the gameplay.
My plan is to mimic what I did in D2 and LoD.
1. Barb specialty in Whirlwind (preferably sword)
2. Amazon with Bow
3. Witchdoctor for massive and helpful melee.
4. Barb with specialty in Berserker (dual wield)
5. Experiment with any new classes or make a magic find purpose like sorceress with 400%+ MF
ICI:
1. Blizzard has made all the characters and are releasing them at later dates to keep hype and anticipation up
2. D3 will be released late 2008 hopefully a Christmas release but could be delayed till Q1 09
3. The Diablo-like figure in the trailer is diablo, Blizzard is clever enough to figure a way for him to come back.
3. Deckard will die sometime during the gameplay.
4. A Crazy Cow level!!!!!!!
