I KNEW IT!
Not the spoiler bit, but that the female wizard was voiced by Grey DiLisle (Azula from Avatar). Perfect fit, IMO.
The rest...must resist spoiler. Must...focus...on...work.

And then the lag. BOOOO!
But seriously, how can anyone play in this? My game would pause for about 10 seconds everytime I shot and killed a zombie with my poison dart. I gave up before I even got in the New Tristram. -

Personally, I'm going for fighting heaven to primary be in the expansion, because Hell moved first. Or, it would because Heaven moved first, but Hell made the overt move and so the heroes go after them.
Either way, if they set up D3's story correctly for an expansion (and does anyone think there will not be an expansion?), then they could easily flow from fighting Demons to fighting Angels without the story being split into two "campaigns" that are just barely connected, story wise.
If that is Blizz's plan, then I hope they have some foreshadowing in the main game involving hunt down angels. It would be a great side quest (even more so if it is hidden and so if you don't find it, then you don't have a blank in the quest screening telling you as such). So we would either fight a few low level Angels, or at the end you find out the bad thing the quest is trying to fix was caused by an angel, not a demon. -

They said over and again they don't want traits to be under-powered or boring... then things like +Gold find should NOT be a trait. I really hope it's not....
Unless, of course, just maybe, gold is actually...I don't know...useful? Because, if you actually need gold, maybe this is worthwhile? -

TheDFO posted a message on The Cosmology of Diablo: Angels and DemonsSo, I'm new here, but not to Diablo by any means (I do believe I was around to by D2 and LoD when they were knew, but that was awhile ago). And sorry for the necro post, but it somewhat fits my missive on the Angel of Death issues.Posted in: News
Anyway, I feel you all are taking "Death" as a MORTAL human would (understandable, I doubt any of you are immortal aliens), as in, "shuffle off this mortal coil." Basically, dying is something unavoidable. I very much doubt that either the Angels, or the higher up Demons, would agree. It might be a possibility, but not a necessity of living, like it is for us flesh piles.
Think of it more like this: When you clean up some space, and you find something that doesn't fit, you move it. But if the thing that doesn't fit also doesn't fit have it's place anywhere, you get rid of it. You throw out trash, swat bugs, flush waste, etc. To an Angel, Death might mean the complete erasure of time. Malthael may simply be the Angel in charge of removing things that do not have their place in the Angels idea of Order (well, at least those things that can be removed by a single angel). They felt that humans are/were abominations, and thus should be DESTROYED, as in cease to exist, erased from all of existence.
That would probably make Malthael the Angel of Death, Oblivion, Nothingness, or something else. He could possibly be the opposite of Baal. Instead of wanton destruction, he would govern the excise of unwanted things. The surgeon who removes tumors, if you will. It could also be said that he's the opposite of Mephisto, what with the orderly remove of that which does not fit being about as far from Chaos as you can get. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

Actually, I don't think you should be able to hit the cap till well after you're done with everything. My reason for this is in Borderlands (while I thought it was a good game, it is easily a GREAT object lesson for Diablo, what with it being Diablo with guns). Most players hit lvl 50 (the cap before the latest expansion) WELL before they were done. Okay, they didn't hit it on the first play through, but they did well before the end of the second. This cut down on the drive to keep playing, as it didn't feel like you were accomplishing much. It didn't help that the best weapons were too easy to find (and too limited to a single fire class of weapons), but you hit the cap and were like uh...now what? Sure, some people hunted for new weapons, but a lot of other people just stopped playing.
I know that the difference between lvl 90 and 99 isn't that big, but the time difference is. It's just one more thing to achieve, and to be really hard to achieve.
Of course, all this might have been solved in BL if the best weapons were harder to find, and not just SMGs.

Furthermore, the name shown is even MORE meaningless, because they allow more than one person to have the same name. They just add something called a "character ID number" (I think). So you might be Maggot.123, or the 123rd maggot (if I'm correct in understanding it). Point being, don't matter if every single person who bought SC2 chose Maggot, you'd be able to chose it for SC2, and even more so for D3.
Edit: Fingolfin ninja'd me. But we are both talking about the identifier system that means that you can have any name you want, as long as it's not obscene (I think they have a filter for that, not sure).

That, or a summon Necro, to keep some pressure off the barb.

Sucks, don't it? Blizzard is going the lazy route, and to protect us/them from the few bad apples, they're punishing the rest of us.

What I think I'll do is play through the game at least once on my own. It'll probably be in private games, just so I can then bring it into the online world for NM and hell modes, and for trading when I'm done. I'll do this because I like to take my time the first time through, you know, stop and smell the roses. That's hard when you have people racing through everything.

Well, yes. Sort of. You'll be able to sign in, and create a room for solo play, just like you can make games in SC2 and just place AI opponents in it, or how you can create a private game in D2 online.
But I'm sure that any character that gets saved to your HDD will only be for offline single player, ever. Not even for LAN, because they decided to stop LAN to stop pirates or some such.

My hope is that the DVD image is actually a bunch of tiny pieces of sand glued on, so it has this rough desert look to it. Then when the disc spins up in our drives, it lets go of a bunch of corrupting demonic grit.

Yeah, but one of the things that made it impossible to hack was that the character was server side. I'm pretty sure I've seen guides to hacking SP characters, and I know I've seen guides to hacks for SP (and by that I mean mods that change the game radically, which is basically a hack).

Although I always thought the low level odds should be better than the high level odds, just because there are so many regular rune words that are all but useless when you get them. If you could get some of them at level 10-20, they might actually be useful (with the exception of a few caster type uniques, like the magefist).

After the debacle that is the Borderlands hack-scape, I doubt Blizz will let us have MP and SP characters cross. It just makes it too hard to enforce anti-hacking laws.

You still upset about that?

Apparently it's common knowledge that you can get full exp from monsters even if they are way higher level than you, and so it's actually feasible to level in hell mode as a level one. Also, I guess I should have known what PvPers do, even though I do not PvP, nor do any of my friends who I have EVER played the game with.
It's hard to take a community seriously when apparently 90% of the people assume anyone playing Diablo plays it exactly the same way. I knew the rushers weren't playing the same way as I, and so I asked as to what they were doing. Instead of a simple 30 second response, I got a bunch of people trolling and/or going off topic to what? Embarrass me on an internet forum?
Good show chaps.

Thanks. Sounds boring, but now I know.
Anyway, I'm glad SOMEONE was mature enough to just answer the question and end this quagmire of a thread.
