i agree with 2, but its 2012 people

the no pvp at launch sucks, but im sure we weill have it in within 6-10 weeks after live

Fair enough, but as said before, just enjoy the game, get your 60 gear and then pvp

I love that the OP has only 2 posts. Kinda sad when you wait till the game is announced before bashing it when the rest of us have been patiently waiting and discussing the pros and cons instead of attacking one another. Is he in the beta? I'm guessing no

I'm sure we are all in humble agreement, Diablo III will indeed be an epic masterpiece.

In the 'West' we struggle with what is or isn't a reality. We purposely and willingly blur all that is good and true in our lives. Instead we succumb to a world of real evil and untruth, we try to convince ourselves what we do is just and not entirely or unethically wrong. We think the truth is subjective and we accelerate a life of every-man-for-himself, promoting greed, war, poverty, and hunger. We are secluded and feed ourselves filth, things like misinformation and apathy. We cower in fear of things we don't understand and react with reproach for people who are different or stand up for what they believe in. An entire half of the earth's hemisphere founded on Christian principles, straight from the bible; we are trying to run away from God and instead embrace soullessness and anger. The west is pushing God out, while the East decides which God to worship. And now, we are wondering why, why our world is falling apart. We have nothing to fall back upon because we know not of what is right or wrong any longer. We have no morals, for we now think that morals are based upon 'feelings' and what you are 'feeling' at any given moment. That is scary world when what we believe in is solely subjective and only if as time serves to aid the individual in justifying an act or thought. The 'West' or what it once was, is being built on lies and deceit instead of truth and good. We think that we as humans are in control, we aren't.

Haha, well that's my opinion of course you may agree or disagree But I've just recently thought about it

But yes, Diablo III shall be a great game to enjoy my friends! Yay!

I'm one of those guys who enjoys a massive game manual to read when, heaven forbid, I am not playing the game, such as Diablo III.

I really hope, as in the previous Diablos, it is massive for me to enjoy as some alternate toilet reading. I just like to learn as much as possible about the games I'm playing, as well as any hints or tricks that can add to my game. I hate online manuals! Like what the crap!

Collector's edition would be nice also! Soundtrack and some other goodies

What you guys think?

Screwtape was in his study deep in thought when a knock came at the door. "Come in," he replied. Opening the door was So'kar his second in command. Clad in his usual black and red granite armour which seemed to seethe with his breathing, coarsing with the burning lava held within it. And slung across his back, one of his many trophies, a great fire sword which he had conquered a huge old demon in possesion of it. He had his masters respect and loyalty to his master in return.

So'kar wasted no time in stating his business. "My Lord, my apologies for intruding. I do not know if you are aware that there has been much talk among the common rabble that a new power has emerged from the City of the Damned. He calls himself Namphiel. They say he is gathering an army."


"What sort of army?" Screwtape asked. For he himself had been relatively unnaware of a gathering of any kind. Though, he thought, these new lords don't last long. Hungry for power and always a clever lieutenant waiting for just the right time to strike and take up his master's throne. Did these new lords ever learn that to rule in hell you must rule with fear and without question. No second chances, no forgiveness, nothing.

"I dug a little deeper," So'kar reflected. "and learned that it's a first wave intended to infiltrate Sanctuary with sleeper demons, which would explain why some of your acquaintances have been called to him as well, my lord. And a few old acquaintances at that. Some say he will be the next great Dark Lord, to rule over Heaven and Hell on top of the human world" Screwtape's head came up at that and So'kar hurriedly added, "but it is only just talk my lord."

"So he is going to Sanctuary is he?" Screwtape thought aloud. And with the mention of infiltration he was surprised that he himself had not been called before the others. No matter, if this squabble of ragtags were going to Sanctuary then they had best be about it, even without him. And good luck to them without Heaven sticking their angelic noses in as well. He was not proud. Was he? He supposed he must be jealous. The opportunity to be on Sanctuary once again would be an enjoyment, a sort of holiday. He would go. He would! "You may take your leave now So'kar, well done, I... I have some business to attend to." His lieutenant bowed and left his study, closing the door leading to the outer processions of The Shroud main hall behind him.

Screwtape sat back in his large throne-like chair slightly puzzled. He let out a sigh and got back to the immediate work on his desk, so many papers to go through. Why did he have to bother with papers? Frustrated he yelled "This is hell! What do I need papers for? And! Ah!" He laughed at his gestured fist, he would find out more about this rabble rousing and their new lord later. He reminded himself of the vital papers infront of him. He tried to focus his attention once more to the situation at hand. 'But why now?' he thought, as his mind momentarily slipped away. The news had slightly disturbed him. Everything was running smooth and according to his plans. He had finally gotten hold of the ancient documents of which he had searched for what seemed like ages for. He had only scratched the surface of what power and what secrets they could reveal.

He shook his head. 'Enough with these concerns, now for some of that human tea I have', he thought. He had acquired a taste for it after years of work on Sanctuary and he had found it helped aid his concentration. He tried to get up out of his seat and something tugged at him. "Ah so they want me after all," he said aloud. He grinned and all of a sudden he vanished completely leaving the study almost as it had been. A select few ancient scrolls that only Screwtape himself had seen had apparently managed to travel with him.

He appeared, standing on a runed circle surrounded by red and black tiles in a giant hall. The high walls arched above, supported by jagged black spires of crystal. Imps skittered across the floors, carrying all sorts of tools, stone tablets, and even weapons in and out of doorways. Some of the creatures carried armfulls of old scrolls, dropping a few and picking them back up. Screwtape would have done anything to have a look at them. The place was a bustle of activity, it looked as if they were indeed preparing for war. The rumor appeared correct.

"Another has arrived, my lord." said an unfamiliar voice. Screwtape looked to its source to see a rather odd looking figure, standing nearly 6 feet tall with spider like legs. It clicked across the stone floor, picking up a writing tablet with its' clawed hands, and began scribbling down notes on its surface. It looked like a list from where he stood.

He looked up ahead to observe a giant demon around 9 feet tall, who sat atop a massive throne of obsidian. He glanced down at Screwtape through old yellow eyes, before raising a clawed finger to his temple in contemplation, as if considering what to eat for what the humans called 'breakfast'.

Screwtape knew that the demon must have got hold of one of the summoning stones. He wondered what lost chasm he found it in or who he had killed for it?. He wouldn't mind having one himself to use for summoning his brethren sworn to The Shroud.

The figure on the the throne abrubtly leaned forward and aided by the firelight Screwtape recognized the face and spoke before the demon could, "Namphiel is it? That's not the name I remember you last having. And no, no your reputation was quite different in those days wasn't it? But you appear to be doing better since we last met. State your purpose, why have you summoned me here?"

Namphiel smiled, if you could call it a smile. "Greetings to you Screwtape. It has been a while hasn't it? But the old ways aside, I have a job for you."

Me too. Sounds sick.

I find de OP confusing. Most of those things seem a nice upgrade to me <_<

a game.

Quote from TheOneS2k

I am looking for people to play the game with that take their time exploring instead of rushing
I am worried that Diablo 3 will become a rush fest once it is released, this thread is just
to check if there are any people at all who enjoy taking it slow instead of rushing saying
go go go come on hurry up etc.

Are there any people out there who want to experience Beta slowly or full game
once it is released? Please post here

I never rush in the beta, i like to explore every small area, i do like the outdoors a lot more then the indoor areas though.

S O O N

Man, I don't know what I would have done with my life if you didn't tell me that.

On a more serious note, I agree that reading about everything that's gonna be in the game kinda ruins somethings. Whenever I do that, I stop playing the game about a month or less after I get it, for some reason, even though I'd be crazy fuck excited before I get it. That won't happen with Diablo 3, though..I severely severely doubt that.

I may be against the tide here but i din't think the impact of D3 will be that large.

What counts most, in terms of impact, is inovation. A very polished w/o huge breath taking inovations is not impacting as a half polished game with huge inovations. Basicaly because polishment is something everyone knows how to do: only money, time and organization is needed. But inovation inspire other companies and games.

And i think, as polished D3 will be, it's not going to be so inovating. Look at Starcraft case. Starcraft had HUGE impact not only on the RTS genre, but it's strong multiplayer, the updated battle.net, was the greatest reference for multiplayer quality and service at it's time.
But now look at SC2. It's impact in the RTS is problably around zero. SC2 is very good and polished game, but brought up almost nothing new. And so far my impressions about D3 is about the same as my impressions about SC2. I can only think of ONE totally inovative breath taking feature on D3 and it's the runestone system. Every other one seens ripped off another very known game, so I don't believe D3 will very inspirative to other game companies.

I think Blizz will only replicate the "Starcraft", "Diablo 1 and 2" and "WoW' phenomenom again when they creat a new franchise or move one of the actual franchise to a new genre (like the rts->mmorpg transition of wracraft).

Religion never started war, it has been used as an excuse as the true cause of war is money.

Not even funny.
