    posted a message on Diablo Story?
    Well, as you might have noticed, the story of Diablo 3 is not really talked about at all, so I'm trying to "decode" it to try to find slips by Blizzard since they are trying to keep it secret.

    So I've been trying to find a way to tie it together and see if the actual story is found somewhere, but I'm not that successful.

    Here is the main daddy I've been really paying attention to.

    What is the story of Diablo III?

    The game takes place on Sanctuary, a world of dark fantasy. Unbeknownst to most of its inhabitants, Sanctuary was saved some twenty years ago from the demonic forces of the underworld by a few brave and powerful heroes. Most of those warriors who directly faced Hell’s armies -- and were fortunate enough to survive -- went mad from their experiences. And most of the others have buried their haunted memories and pushed the horrors from their thoughts. In Diablo III, players will return to Sanctuary to confront evil in its many forms once again.
    (Taken from Diablo 3 FAQs)

    I watched the cinematic trailer a lot as well.

    So this is all the info we have:

    1. It seems that only Diablo returns.
    2. Great ball of fire has something to do with it.
    3. There's a great focus on Tristram and its Cathedral.
    4. Cain needs to check why Hell hasn't invaded yet. But why would the information be in there?
    5. The heroes of the last game might have something to do with the awakening or bring back of Diablo.
    6. Belial and Azmodan are still not talked about at all, but do they have something to do with it as well?
    7. The Mistress of Pain will be involved
    8. Ureh and Caldeum will be as well
    9. The Triune has returned with an unidentified leader (who could just about be anyone).
    10. 20 years later is too short of a time for the Prime Evils to come back by themselves.
    11. King Leoric/Skeleton King might have somthing to do with it.

    Can you guys help me?

    I laughed really hard when I saw this thread.

    But on the serious side, I think it all depends on the type of monster. Some are meant to be disturbing and some are just meant to be monsters.

    Well the only thing that's wrong with PS3's is that they're expensive, which is why they didn't do so well at first. But besides that, it's a pretty good system. Myself, I would rather get the XBox 360 since it has the Live where you can play with other people and it's a lot more popluar. But that's just me.

    If you start a new account on .com, it won't be like you're having two accounts. Even if you're on Gamma for eac one, they are to completely different servers.

    So start a new account on the .com site and you'll be just fine.

    Okay cool, thanks.

    Dude, you are not there. I think you're on .org and not .com

    Okay, I checked, and you were right. My bad.

    I am 37:18 now. Will they ban me for having 2 accounts though?

    Blizzards sense of humor is amazing! The way some quests are worded and that sort of thing.

    It's mostly small things here and there that add up.

    Im terribly sorry about having to say this but i think you have choosen the wrong server.
    Or it could be that you play on Ikariam.org or ".de" or something.
    Every server on every "realm" (.org, .com etc., not sure how to call it) is an entirely different world. (And yes, that means there are tens of worlds.)

    We play on the Gamma server of Ikariam.com.

    Please tell me you just gave wrong coordinates. :P

    Also, i would like to say that, if you start on an island with sulfur, research "expansion" as soon as possible, then choose an island with marble and the temple of Gaia, make a colony there, build a governors residence, declare that town as your capital, and abondon your sulfur colony.
    If you do it on the beginning of the game, it will pay off greatly. Trust me.

    And heres a map of all the members: http://www.maplib.net/map.php?id=3938
    You may want to find a place near or in between the other members.

    Nope, I'm in Gamma. And those are my coords. I doublechecked.

    posted a message on What entirely new character class would you like to see in D3?
    Quote from "mahamoti" »
    If you assume that the set of classes will be an injective mapping (one-to-one and onto) of the set of { Barbarian, Elemental Nature, Magic, Range, Religion Based}, then you are absolutely correct.

    However, this is a very narrow-minded view that is not substantiated by any evidence whatsoever. By your logic (or lack thereof), it would have been impossible for Diablo 3 to not contain a Barbarian class because it is one of the fundamental categories that must exist.

    In the previous 2 Diablo games, we did see the recurring theme of a melee character, a ranged spellcaster, and a ranged non-magic class. These are also common themes in most RPG's so I think this set does have substantial evidence. However, we already have seen a melee (Barbarian) and 2 spellcasters (wizard and WD), so those bases are covered in that sense. The WD is also a summoning based class which has also increased in popularity in RPGs lately so it also fills that role.

    Therefore I think you are correct that a ranged character will be among the remaining two classes...but as for the last class, you cannot say that it will be based on religion just because D2 had a class based on religion. They didn't say they were going to try and copy the D2 classes and change the names. While it is true that both D1 (Hellfire) and D2 had a religion based class (the Monk and the Paladin), they also both had a Roguelike class (the Rogue and the Assassin)...and there are plenty of other unexplored classes.

    Anyway, my personal prediction is a Ranger and a Knight class. Similar to your prediction, but for different reasons.


    I see your point and I get what you mean. But I am 100% certain that one of the classes will be a Bowman, since almost all the games that allow freedom of character class have a bowman or range, which, like you said, is very common. So then we have one more slot open. And there, I have to agree with, is very open to what kind of character it will be since it doesn't necassarily need to be religion based. It can be a stealthy trapper or shapeshifter. But, basing that Diablo is a religion based game, I made a hypothesis that the last character will be a religion based character, like a necromancer or paladin.

    When your gold reaches zero you your scientists and soldiers will be disabled or something like that. I dont exactly know.

    Though you shouldnt worry about that for now.

    And really, read the guide. The whole thing. Also read the beginner guide in wikikariam.com. It will be helpful a LOT.

    Edit: Killer-Swift, lumber is the most important thing in the early game. And you start with enaugh money.

    Ah the Wiki really helped me out. My academy is doing prettty well and it said it's fine to have negative income in the beginnning of the game. Cool thanks guys for the help.

    Read the guide. Contrary to common belief, its a fairly light and quick read and can be pretty damn useful.

    But if I must, I'll try to sum it up now o.O

    -Firstly, set all your workers to the lumber yard, all 40 citizens.
    -Second, build an academy, max researchers
    -Third, upgrade academy. max researchers
    -Fourth, upgrade academy max researchers
    -Fifth, build barracks
    -try and get your a tavern
    -upgrade town hall

    Try and get "Glass" "Ink" and "Well-Digging" techs first. And Professional army and wealth. Once you get professional army, get a level 4 barracks and build 5 phalanxes in your town.

    Also try and aim for the tech called "Expansion". This allows you to build more colonies :D

    Oh cool thanks! But what happens when my income is negative?
