As we know, the only returning playable class is the Barbarian. However, Jay Wilson recently suggested some classes could return in the Diablo 3 expansion pack.
Source: battle.netBashiok: It is Skovos, and I think this piece was something that Leonard showed and discussed at the WWI Lore and Environment Art panel.
It isn't a location that you'll visit in Diablo III, but the artwork is a good example of the work and thought going in to fleshing out the world of Sanctuary. It's already a very complex world with a lot of locations and events, but a lot of it still isn't visually or contextually realized. As we want to create the feeling of a world outside of your immediate view it's important to create or expand upon the locations and stories of that world.
As we're working to create Diablo III we're also working to create a more visually complete Sanctuary
you meant neutral.
Nope, I mean neuter - noting or pertaining to a gender that refers to things classed as neither masculine nor feminine - or meaning sexless. I'm just extremely impatient to see the other classes that they'll be introducing.
there was significantly more content in that post then you refer to.
if that is all you can see in my posts you are not worth my time.
don't bother looking for expansions.
expansions are in fact a money making scheme.
in LOD the Dark Wanderer was slain if what i heard was correct.
the hero of Diablo was slain so that an expansion pack could be made.
to kill Baal. which nobody cared about in the first place.
i never played the expansion for several reasons.
start a thread, 'why i didn't buy the expansion' and i might have something to say about that.
-------------
expansion example illustrated.
i buy a car. i must now buy a second engine just to run the car after three months of ownership. after that i must then buy a new fuel tank if i want the car to run with the new engine.
---------------
i expect my products to standalone. if the car needs an 'expansion upgrade' i make a new model car and get all the upgrades done correctly.
this is how it will work in the future.
if it doesn't the game industry will kill itself from the complexity of compatible expansion packs, sequential expansion packs, standalone expansion packs, paid membership expansion packs and so on.
--------
and Skovos better not be an expansion pack.
You need to understand this, you sound a bit arrogant here...
Expansion packs are not just a money making scheme. They're there to add on to the story line to create a long story to keep players occupied and interested in playing. You cannot compare a video game expansion to a car unless you want to say "Example - I have a car and I like it a lot but it's starting to bore me a bit. I want to make the car faster and have a little more umph so I'll EXPAND the engine a bit with newer parts. That should keep me interested.
As for Magistrate, I consider Diablo an MMO because there are most likely going to be thousands, if not, millions of people playing. MMO game just means Massive Multiplayer Onine game.
'Nuff said.
MMO means a game that only playable online..Also MMOs have huge worlds and ten thousands of online players so it could be very funny.
DIII won't be MMO.
But oh yes, World of Sanctuary will be teen rated MMO.
.. You have never played the expansion, but you can say that expansions are nothing more than money making schemes? Idiot.
They're not going to change the name of the Amazon, because they're called Amazons, not "more feminine barbarians"
They can still change the name of Amazons to something more neuter like Rogues (Diablo I Amazons). It's not hard to change a name.
Please read what I say before you comment, I said change the name and keep the skills or change them a bit. Still capable of using javelins and certain bows. If the names changed, they can still be the same class as before, but with a different name...
Learn to know what you posted before you tell people to read what they posted even though you clearly don't have a clue what the fuck you're posting.
In reference to this:
I think he just meant they were similar, both being ranged classes. That's about where the similarity ends though.
They could however make a male from the Amazonian tribes I guess, though I'm not sure if they'd be called Amazons. Who knows.
What you typed in the post I'm quoting wasn't mentioned in any of your previous posts.
As I have said before Septar, please read what I write before commenting. I know what I have said. Also, there's another that says there can be male Amazons, so harp on him then too.
*sigh*... I read what you wrote and I commented back. You told me that I didn't say anything that I wrote in that quote, yet I did before.
you meant gender neutral.
don't ever call a class neuter as in sexless.
that is barbaric.
D3 has announced there will both male and female gender in each class.
where does it refer to a neuter class?
It doesn't ever mention that.
you failed to address my main point.
expansion packs lead to story confusion and incompatibilities within the player base.
some players own expansion packs, some don't, some require new machines, some change the storyline.
the strategy is not to make add-on expansion packs.
the strategy should be making new versions of the game.
your definition of a million players online being an MMO is false.
take your definition and go search the web.
it's not my job to educate you, but you are uneducated about the term MMO.
let me address without killing you.
there will probably be a Diablo MMO in the future. the question is whether it will be in D3 or in Diablo: MMO.
regarding expansions:
".. You have never played the expansion, but you can say that expansions are nothing more than money making schemes? Idiot." Septar
that statement made no sense, only an idiot could have said that.
my interpetation after painstaking analysis:
"you haven't played the expansion so you can not talk about expansions and they are just money making schemes."
i posted a few messages earlier on this page about what i thought about expansions in further detail.
read it.
lastly - regarding Amazon class. this is getting really boring talking to you all. i stated in response to a question about whether Amazon will return, that perhaps the Sisters of the Sightless Eye would be a player class in the game. In order to make that happen the Sisters would need to accept Brothers making it the Order of the Sightless Eye.
i can theorize about the new ranged weapon class as much as any other person.
why the HELL are you attacking ME about my statements?
