    Outcast



    The Outcasts are assassins who were part of "The Order" long ago, during the events of the final struggle against the Prime Evils. At some point before the destruction of the Worldstone, a group of 8 assassins betrayed their order and got caught. They were sentenced to death, but escaped with their admirable agility. With nowhere to go, those 8 assassins started to make a living out of demon raiders' possession, from Fallen Ones to desert cats. Almost nobody knows who they are, they always wear a leather mask that hides their face completely, but those who know refer to them as the Outcasts. The outcasts also developed a unique way of fighting, for they no longer assassinate, the outcasts are especially good in melee combat, usually using a scythe or flail. Although they no longer control the shadow arts, they are very agile. Also, they have a unique kind of traps, better known as the enchanted lanterns. Those lanterns use the same kind of magic that sorcerers do. They float in mid air providing support of all kinds to their party. After the destruction of the Worldstone, they seperated. But now, 20 years later, they once aid in battle against evil.

    I agree on most things, but what's with the loot "glitch" he's talking about? He mean the times that you kill a boss and get no uniques? Because there's no bug there... he's just whining that he doesn't get good stuff every time he kill a boss... I don't get it.

    I'm using a GTS 8800 (Lament's GTX 8800 is slightly better) and my computer can't handle Crysis on highest setting either, if most of the graphical options have a 'normal', 'high' and 'very high' levels, I set it on an average of 'normal'-'high', it's crazy. I don't know anyone with a computer strong enough to run that game. They thought they were so smart when they came up with this game... it's not a big deal to make a game with graphics like that, it's just that there are barely any people who can get the maximum out of this game.

    I agree that a game doesn't really need amazing, complicated graphics to be successful. Of course, it needs a basic level of quality, but that's it. When you think of it, even though Diablo 3 doesn't have amazing graphics, there were many things that were visually impressive like the explosion in the summoning of the Thousand Pounder, or the Siege beast fatalities. I remember one of the devs said "We try to make this game as visually interesting as possible", there are many ways to make a game pretty without making the 3D models more complicated

    You're from Israel? I'm from Lebanon. That means I should hate you and commit Jihad on your ass. BUt I'm just kidding. On the more serious note..I didn't really like that game bar its graphics. It was rather dull and an annoyance at best.

    That kind of things don't really matter on the internet, and even in the outside world, I love everybody, even you!! ^_^

    Anyway, Crysis is the best example of how graphics are a minor issue. All of Blizzard's games are success, but none have good graphics. Crysis has the best/most realistic graphics yet in a video game, and also one of the worst FPS I've ever played... gameplay is unoriginal and storyline is boring. Crytek's funds -> 99% graphics, 1% everything else. I've played better text-based games...

    posted a message on Diablo III Release "still a long way to go"
    That's not news, that's just saying the obvious. I could tell you this... it doesn't take a dev to realize that there's alot more work/testing to do. You guys were just being waaaay too optimistic. "This year!" "This christmas!" "This halloween!".... pfffff

    That's why someone with authority had to come and burst your bubble.

    posted a message on Equipped Runes
    Now we know that runes are being equipped, or more like 'applied' to yourself rather than your items. We already know about the Skill Runes, so where exactly do you put them?

    A while back, I saw something interesting in the Live Blizzcon Blog of diii.net.
    Read what is being said before and after my comment in the blog:



    He wasn't kidding. Look at that weird circle:




    So runes are now offically a new type of equipment? The most logic guess is - Yes... and that's where you put your skill runes. Does anyone have any other guess?

    Question: Is there a way to download the Wizard gameplay video (not the shorter trailer) to my computer for maximum quality? I didn't seem find a source for that.

    Also, I think it was the mana orb that did the "Diablo 2 shrine" sound.

    Cool but why did Jay Wilson state that we will hate them because of the class?

    Also, my eyes hurt because of extreme GREEN... I want some high-res live action, screenshots make everything look crappy.

    EDIT: WHAT!?! DID SOMEONE SAY NEW GAMEPLAY TRAILER???

    Is this some kind of a joke? Because it's more sad than funny.
