.... will soon have a major statement to make.

You should probably define soon:P

Hmmmm....I kinda listen to D2's music.
For D1, it was another thing. I always listened to 'Enjoy the silence' from Depeche Mode. I listened to quite a few others as well, but its this song that immediately reminds me of D1:P

*Taking a deep breath* Might be a tedious read, so bear with it coz it might (possibly:P) lead to interesting discussion.
We have elements(ice, fire, poison, lightning) in D2 forming part of the obvious non-classical elements.
The classical elements themselves vary according to different philosophies(most going with air, fire, wind and earth while others like Chinese philosophy bringing in Wood and Metal as elements).
Since blizzard seems to be making(more direct) use of the non-classical elements, that's what we'll focus on. Here's a list of the most popular ones-
Ice- Sorc used it predominantly and wizard will probably use it as well.
Lightning- Javazons and lightning sorcs were among the most efficient mass monster murderers. Wizard uses it too.
Poison- Poison nova...enough said. In D3 WD might have some poison related stuff.
Fire- druid, sorc mainly. WD uses the fire blast thing
LESS OBVIOUS non-classical elements
Darkness- I associate it with summons, mainly that of necro. WD uses it..what with wall of zombies and all.
Plants- Druid used that a bit with creepers and all. In D3, hasn't seen it yet.
In D3, Blizzard has just added the holy element, creating great interest around the monk(apart from the fact that he's seems like a SF character and ready to throw a hadoken)

The idea here is that the non-classical elements are used as the basis for character skills and specific abilities.
I'll list a couple(interesting ones) more (there are a lot since they are based on fiction) that has never been used yet-

Crystal
Sonic or soundwaves

Bear in mind that the elements does not necessarily mean beams or bolts u fire from ur hand. It can be in the form of darkness or plants like necro and druid uses.

So do you think that the last class might invlove a new(non-classical)element?

PS- Among non-classical element there is also 'love'. Maybe if diablo needs a hug and some comforting coz there's a bigger baddie around...:P
PPS- Oops I almost forgot magic!! I associate it with holy for D3. Bone necro used it along with hammerdins in D2 But there can also be dark magic...I guess that will be arcane skills from the wizard.:)

I guess useless skills would be a rather subjective thing. While there are builds out there that can do mass killing and offer little challenge, there are also builds using those-said 'useless' skills to make things much more challenging. As long as you can kill monsters(however slow), it all depends on how much fun the player is having.
On a personal note I admit I don't have the patience to try out all the(less effective) skills, as meeting up with immunes provide more than enough challenge for me.:P

The pessimism in this thread is very shocking. It all comes down to the inability to interpret blizzard statements. I'll help u out-
By the end of April- April of next year...they never said this year.
In 2 weeks- we all know how time flies heh? 2 weeks, 20 weeks...pretty much the same.
Next week- means in 2 months exactly.
Significant changes/ meaningful whatnot- hmmm.....can't interpret that one until patch is out.. Can be BS or can be good.

As time goes, my expectations are rising and I know my disappointment might be even greater:(

Thinking of Hell too coz of the bubbling effect...
But who says it must have something to do with the environment. Maybe there's a new 'tar' monster who when the moment u step in the tar, jumps out, splashes u with tar to blind u and dirty ur armor and smacks u the face with a club made of dried tar:P
Did I mention tar monsters could be anywhere...

It dosnt require you to be rich so you can travel to the US for 3 days, rent at a cheap motel and buy the blizzcon tickets... plus food and shit...


You can work for it, easily.

Must be one nice job...But then when u got the money, u say...why don't I buy a new rig and some games and have some real fun while u get regular updates from ur favorite diablo fans site:P
But then I guess u don't get to play D3 demo for which u have to wait possibly 2 years to play the full game... A matter of perspective i guess...:)

I suppose if could go, I would be pretty excited too... Will be in UK at that time though...*sigh*...
Just waiting another 6-7months for news of D3 is no exciting prospect at all:(
Hey who knows, maybe we'll finally get news of that 1.13 patch then???:P
LOL.

Actually what really happened is that...

Quote from "Genesis" »

Thats it man... final straw

I'm making a hit list with all the Blizzard employees on it

So the programmer (girl-by-day and moron-by-night) has been terminated without anybody at blizzard realizing.:P
D2 patch is just not important enough:(

Haha...U r too funny..
Hey u wrote a good sentence! I knew u could do it. Congratulations.:rolleyes:
We are actually writing. U realize that, don't u? U cannot possibly have heard me talk...:P
So in the end, u actually wrote well..but..uhm, how u say that..talk well(actually wrote) to say nothing.
Plz feel free to go back to your old ways. At least then, you'l be able to convince urself u are important enough to mean a lot of significant things in whatever u write...

OUUUUPPPPSSS It's what happen when you try to read in same time to be drunk.

Try reshuffling the words in the sentence- you could probably make some sense then. Or maybe use different words or use no words at all...
Sorry couldn't resist:P... Was just pulling ur leg, but u just wrote another weird sentence there... but i think i understand it better than the last one...I hope I understand it...:P

Thanks!:thumbsup:

Ideas for bosses in D3 to finish u.:P

I vote for mortal Kombat type of deaths....Fatalities...
If you have a human(hero)-sized boss, imagine how cool, it would be if he/she did a SubZero fatality.
Thrusting hand(claw) through your back and pulling out the spine with skull attached... Zat would be beautiful.

Checkpoint saving system good as far as the monsters who killed you, can be killed with the character being naked. The only reason that validates being in town for D2 was to restock potions and get your 2nd set of gear so as not to die right away when trying to get back your body.
So i'll say for D3, resurecting naked at last checkpoint with a nasty mob of monsters waiting for you, will make it pretty tough to get back your body.
