DiabloFans

I thought we were starting from level 1 ?
And sorry about the double post, forgot about that rule for a second there
Won't happen again !

Also, what is the name/pass of the Hamachi network that we're going to be using ?

Kk, thanks :D.
I'll download ASAP.
May take a while though, dial up is a whore.
Quite speedy for dial up however ^_^.

Downloaded that shit!
Well, I'm ready to go once we have people.

What is hamachi anyways ?
Btw, Assassin called !
The sign up sheet is a great idea btw, you should turn it into a separate thread.
Also, would we be doing this over tc/ip, or over the eastern sun version of b-net ?

Well I'm in if you guys try to do it again

Anyone wanna play from level 1 over tc/ip ?
Probably not today, but some other time ? Could get a whole group of us and play right through the game.

im expecting a lot of things in wow to turn up in d3blizzard always recycles their own ideas (and the ideas of other successful games) and they're going to want to appeal to the large audience that they've built up of wow players

Agreed... Blizz REALLY needs to come up with some fresh ideas, they did really well with that early on (especially when Blizzard North was still kicking around) then they threw creativity to the wind....

No doubt that we'll be seeing a blend of D2 and WoW with D3, blizz is going to want to grab some of their WoW fans before some other game gets them. But still, if they incorporate the right ideas from WoW we won't get too far from the Diablo we all love :D.

I loved the Baldur's Gate combat log, something like that would be nice. It would have to be toggleable though.... there are a lot of people out there who would disaggree with the log.

A new franchise would be nice... would finally give Blizzard something new to work with, instead of constantly re-inventing old games (not that it's a bad thing!). But what would the new franchise be :/? Maybe another futuristic game? I doubt they would make another sword-and-spells style game if they make a new franchise, they have 2 of those at the moment, and only 1 future-style game. Hell, maybe even a game set in modern times. But whatever it turns out to be, no doubt that it will kick ass :D.

Blizzard all the way !!!

As many people know, Blizzard now has two unnannounced games, one was just recently found out, and the other has been floating around for a while, and is apparently going to be an MMO.
So anyways, IF Blizzard was to make a diablo MMO, what would you want in it? Where do you think it should take place (pre-diablo, during Diablo 2, after Diablo 3, ect.)? Also, who should be playable? Also, mention anything else that you think a diablo MMO should include.

If this was to happen, I think it should take place during the Sin war, when heaven and hell were at war, and would have Heaven and Hell as playable factions. I think it could be done very well if Blizzard stayed true to the diablo universe.

Maybe a sin war MMO ? Would work quite well actually, players could choose either heaven or hell to work for, and earth could be the battle ground, with each side gaining/losing territory.

I really hope they bring back starcraft ghost, I was so pumped for that game..
Perhaps a starcraft MMO, I really can't see them making a diablo MMO since D3 has b-net. Warcraft 4 is a definite contender too.... Oh the possibilities !!

Eh, well they aren't that bad. Atleast they stayed relatively simple... and not all vibrant like warcraft. I'd be happy with that style, but would MUCH prefer the carved stone feel that the skill icons from the first two games had. They just added.... flavour :D.

Just a forewarning... this thread isn't supporting the warcraft influence on Diablo, just thought I'd point this out before the flames start.

A lot of people have been freaking out about the warcraft universe influencing D3 too heavily, and frankly, I agree.
However, WoW did have some good features which will probably be added into Diablo 3.
So, if D3 HAD to have a feature/class/skill/ect from world of warcraft, which would it be and why ? Or, if you don't play much WoW, then are there any features from other games that you would like to see? Like Oblivion's free-roaming landscape, spells from the Sacred series, the massive tanks from unreal tournament,ect.
Or, if you want to, screw taking ideas from other games and just throw down your ideas for D3, anything will work !

Also, which feature/class/skill/ect do you not want in Diablo 3?

Personally, I haven't played much WoW, but I do like the idea of the hotbar. While it doesn't seem too Diablo-ish, it will make swapping between skills much easier and faster, and will make skill chaining a whole lot easier.

What I don't want in it, is the differing skill level cap. All the skills should be capped at the same level, it has been like that in the other Diablo games and should stay that way.

Ok... so I don't know if those icons are actually going to be used in D3, or if they are just being used for the website, but oh my god, they are taken DIRECTLY out of the warcraft games.

If they are actually being used in D3... then I'm going to miss the old gray and black icons for skills

And if they aren't going to be used, would you prefer coloured skill icons? Or the tried and true carved stone style ?
