Well, this is certainly the most common discussion regarding D3, and the ones that become most heated.

I cannot say that Blizzard will never make D3 an MMORPG. I do believe though that no MMORPG of today has the needed technology to justify the game speed of Diablo. This is an assumption from what I've heard, but apparently WoW is quite fast-paced for an MMORPG. If that is true, then I think we would first of all see a quite big evolution of Internet connections and servers before the possibility comes into play.

Even if the above statement is false though, I have serious doubts as to whether Blizzard wants to actually handle two MMORPG's a the same time. Their huge success with WoW will in that case inevitably draw futher millions into the Diablo Universe.

And third, byt launching a new MMORPG, they will effectively begin competing with themselves.

Therefore, no, it will still be the traditional Singe/Multiplayer

Speaking of active community, is this something we should actively be trying to increase, or will we just let word spread (and hope for the best)?

I also had the view of Amrius being in Tristram all the time Carloseus. The only thing I don't see that fits with that idea, is that in his dream he sees The Wanderer. Obviously Diablo was not in that form while the demons still haunted Tristam. but hen again it is a dream ,and maybe he associates The Wanderer with that event in his head. He obviously knows that the Wanderer is Diablo, as he sais in the first cinematic.

If gold becomes more important, then it should definately be auto-split. If it doesn't, then it doesn't matter.

Yeah the bugs don't really make sense at all, while the Megademons are the emobidiment of a real demon in my view. They could be made a lot more powerful though.
Oblivion Knights are great, they shoul definately stay, few monsters force you to pay such close attention to what they do.

Leapers seem to be a common moster to dislike, and Imps in Act 5 fill the same pupose, teleporting around, but they at least die from one hit.

Gold should definately have some meaningful use other than gambling, which isn't worthwile anymore anyway.

I would very much like to see gold being used for something else, but as Elfen Lied said, bying a house doesn't really seem to fit in with defeating evil. However, maybe a castle or something could be bought by a guild/clan. Huge amounts would be necessary, maybe something like 100 million (with reduced gold drops) for the biggest ones. They could after purchase be upgraded with extra towers, arrow slits, gates,guards and whatever seems reasonable. And when bying the castle, it also becomes the target of occasional demon attacks, or even better, raids by players from the opposing faction.
Now this, if implemented, will create waves upon waves of complaints when poweful guilds raid other fortresses and steal them. But that could perhaps be minimized through some sort of refunding if the fort is lost.

This was just something I came up with to justify bying castles. I really like the idea of having some form of housing, but if it doesn't fit in with the world, leave it out.

But stealing items from players I am totally and completely opposed to. If I finally managed to find that one unique item I've been striving for, I don't want some lvl 100 thief taking it! :mad:

Arena fights would be great. Especially if it was carried out by real players. Yes, scamming would most certainly take place with premade games, but I'm sure measures could be taken to minimize the risk.

but wheres the loose woman, alcohol, gambling, betting on fights, buying your way to something or somewhere, paying to get your items imbued/socketed/personalized, upgrades to and for weapons and armor, corrupt officals who take bribes, trading gold for EXP? (yes i have put all of those things in the master list)

Paying to get your weapons socketed and personalized, just perfect. Why wasn't that done in D2?

So adding it all together, yes, gold should definately have a more important role.

There's some truth to that. Though of course if you never manage to kill it...

Well it's not released yet, so I guess you should take everything you see with a grain of salt. But those movies just looked like a guy running up and doing one attack. Though come to think of it that does sound like Diablo

To be honest, I have never come close to 6.5k Life. And that I think is a major point as to why they are hard. True, once you've faced down some of them you learn how to beat them, but unless your on your guard, the can blast me off completely.

oh crap i miss read select TWO!!! monsters

No big deal, just as long as people have some opinions.

kill the dolls in act 3 and 5... the onlything that scratches my barb
bring back burning souls... gota love watching everyone get owned by them

I share your feelings. What a wakeup-call that was the first time I encountered them in Act 3.
And the Burning Souls, well, I'm one of those who got owned by them

I've kept one eye on this game for some time, and it looks completely amazing. I'm most certain I'll buy it, maybe even if D3 comes out the same day

EDIT: After checking through that site, I am even more compelled to buy it. The only thing I can complain about is that the site doesn't have a FAQ, and that the videos are pretty crappy. Looking at them I get the feeling the game is repetitive.

Can't argue with that. And contrary to what many people believe, it is quite trustworthy, so long as you actually keep your eyes about and check the sources.
But what I find so appealing about it is that it contains almost everything on a subject. Whenever I want to find out something I don't know anything about, I always go there first.

Perhaps, though I regret to say I never played D1 beyond the Butcher.
