Diablo is unique in it's gameplay and unique in that it's developers already have a massively successful mmorpg on the market.
I wonder how much wow is having an impact on d3 and if more support will be included for guilds, clans etc. d2 even though new patches were released each time u played u none the less played the same game, same quests etc, unless u pvp'd. the world didnt change.. as opposed to say ultima online, an mmorpg of the time, by where the world was ever changing and growing as players interacted. curious to know if they'll keep the same format
As far as the lack of beef i agree.. i mean the monks supposed to be agile aswell.. what would be cool but unlikely would be a "Knight" character though thats difficult without becoming a paladin, perhaps u could bring back the worrior from 1. or as i mentioned earlier a dwarf character with loads of armour.
bout the long range necro.. well were just guessing here. ofcorse anything is possible
I'm a necro fan from way back and i think it's a character that works really well with the game and story line... it's a shame to leave such a strong character out for the 1st round even tho ive been promised he'll be there 4 the expansion. just means even more waiting 4 the necro faithful :/ - i really think they'l try to add a new element, like a pirate or sailor 4 example, tho thats 4 another thread.
Just curious if any1 has anymore info on exactly how many heros are locked in b4 release? 1 more? 2?? how long can they keep us waiting!! lol - also, if there are any hints on what they might be? I know necro is out.... B*strds
Just reading over everyones posts, I must admit the soundtracks to d1 and 2.. particularly 2 is in my oppinion some of the best score work for a game of this genre ever, and in alot of ways both were larrgely succsessful to the work of Matt Uelmen. Obviously he wasn't the game but he certainly played a key roll. From what i've read on shack, and other resources, to me, when u get through the diplomacy, in a nut shell, Matt tells blizz he can do the work from a local studio or his home. blizz tells matt they would rather him do it @ their studios. matt probably agrees but for more money, blizz declines, matt takes offer on torchlight, which can I say is a great piece of work and I cant help but feel theres some overtones of musical revenge in there, almost as if to put what he had intended for d3 straight into torch. Alas the game though interesting and worth a look certainly won't be shifting my oppinion of diablo3 anytime soon. and 2 be honest, kinda looked a little crash bandicoot for liking.
On the topic of diablo's "new" sound, I think you'll find, even under the guidence of the great Matt Uelmen, towards the end of the rescent diablo chapter. The music begins to get very "in your face" as mentioned before or maybe less subtle.. more trumpets etc. - If you listen to the score work in LoD you'll find a big contrast to earler tracks. It has a much more, structured, symphonic sound where his previous works tended to be very atmospheric and dark ambience. So in that sense I don't think the natural progression of the feel of the diablo soundtrack so far has altered from that. It's mature while still sticking to it's roots.
Though I do think even for blizz's sake they need more info on who's putting it together, a new Matt Uelmen if u will.
Been playing Diablo for over a decade now.. Some may know me as Driftwood... Felt the time as good as any to connect with my fellow hack n slashers, and ofcorse make some allies to hit the ground running for the massively anticipated 3. - The wait is driving me out my mind.
