I'm going to be a barbarian named Hitter

ive never played the diablo series but this looks like world of warcraft from an rts perspective

I actually kinda got this feeling as well. Just the graphics, the skill bar and so on.

Wtf at the God of War comparison. Because God of War is the only game to ever have dropped orbs.

The game looks alright, but it needs to be grimier. It seriously has too much of a Warcraft-esque feel to the models and environments. They need to be more detailed and dirty to really capture the Diablo feel because he second game especially was pretty grim and dirty throughout and the atmosphere was one of the things I really enjoyed about the game. I'm a little disappointed in it graphically but it seems like it'll still be a good game. I'm not a huge Diablo fan (or even a huge Blizzard fan, really) but I do enjoy playing it. I never really got into Battle.Net, for whatever reason the game sorta bores me after a while and I couldn't play it online for an extended period of time. I tended to have more fun running through LAN with a mate. I usually enjoy online in games quite a bit, but whatever, I just guess I'm not a big enough fan to really go deeper into it.

by the time the game is released this nickname will already be taken, you can probaly get Hitter22689, or H|tter92

or he can always make it offline



remember diablo is not an mmorpg

assholes

I'm trying to figure out what the classes will likely be in this.

Barbarian and Witch Doctor are in, and there are three others.. I'm going to go ahead and guess Paladin, Amazon/Archer/Whatever, and Sorceror/Sorceress.

AFAIK, barb is the ONLY returning class. Others should be quite interesting same old classes with a different name and look.

others could be returning, no one knows!

Your heroes and heroines in Diablo III come in five classes, each that have a male and female equivalent. Each has its own very distinct look along with a set of abilities, advantages and disadvantages, and role in the fight against the demons of Hell. Here you'll find all the information, statistics, and strategy guides you'll ever need to build the most effective adventurers.

At the World Wide Invitational 2008 event in Paris, Blizzard Entertainment announced Diablo III and two of the game's playable character classes: The Barbarian and the Witch Doctor. There's no word yet on what the three others may be.

Blizzard Entertainment also stated that other than the Barbarian, there will be no returning character classes from the first two games. It's quite likely that the Barbarian is an exception because it was far and wide the favorite character class, most often chosen by Diablo II players.

But since Witch Doctor is almost as same as Necromancer, same can be expected from others. Maybe this time it will be Ranger, Knight, Wizard, Scout or w/e...

Oh come on.... Sorcs and Paladins easily outnumbered babas. As a matter of fact, second to Druid, I could have sworn it was the least popular class due to the lack of variety in viable playstyles (everyone went tank/ww).

Well, the barbarian is the essential warrior class, and they are typically the ones which are usually always shown at demonstrations, in teasers, etc. I guess the barbarian was featured because a lot of people just enjoy playing as giant warriors who beat things down with just brute strength while being able to take countless blows.

I would have rather seen the amazon/rogue (the defining class of Diablo in my opinion) or a pure magic user class.

Oh well, all in good time.

I just picked up D2 for the first time ever and tried out necromancer. It is the best. I stopped after a while to try out some other classes but none of them are as good as the necro, the necro just TEARS SHIT UP. Anyway let's play D2 over hamachi, let's do it.

At the moment I'm only able to play standard Diablo 2 (no expansion) because my LoD has been missing for the longest while. I suppose I could just torrent the expansion though, because it's not like I'd be going on battle.net or anything.

Also, why Hamachi? Diablo 2 has TCP/IP.

At the start, yeah. Have fun in hell with your by-then worthless skeletons.

The rogue/amazon is hands down the best single player class.  The necro is good for the first two acts but his power really starts to dwindle by mid-game.

Well, necro is good but don't waste points on skeletons. All you need is a good golem and some curses.

By the way it doesn't look like wow, maybe the colors are somewhat similar but the characters aren't!

idk i dont really like paladins (unless if they are hammerdins) unless if there is like 4 people teamin up because then they are REALLY awesome.

AH HA HA HA HA HA HA

No.

Get one summoning necro with enigma and you will see just how wrong you are.  When you teleport every single merc/skeleton/mage/golem/ressurected baddie will appear in the same spot with you.... so when you land on someone's ass.... they will get hit with 40 or so minions at the same time. Keep popping in and out of combat and before they have any chance to respond they are dead.

Unless they have an aoe counterpick. But even then.... with enigma... it's hard to get hit unless you knowingly walk into it.

I know people have mentioned ZEAL as a good skill but that's not available til level 14 and this is slooooooow and boring.

Lvl 14 is your complaint? You do realize you can easily make it to lvl 76+ in a single day, right?

Hammerdins where always my favorite. Mine had crazy hp. I don't think my dex or str went passed 75, and I never leveled the mana stat. Everything went into vitality (Hoto's summon helping a lot with hp too). I had a nice and light enigma with insane defence... a shield merc from act 2 with bramble... the works. And my inventory was nothing but skill charms and 5% faster run/walk small charms. There was nothing to pvping. Just randomly teleport and cast hammers until someone walks into it. There was no countering him. The only problems I ever came across was getting someone to actually run into the hammers... which can get tricky when fighting assasins or other characters with enigma or sorcs.

My hammerdin was a farmer though. I used him primarily for hunting runes and ethereal items.... where at the time clean ethereal items where more valuable their rune worded counterparts. MF wasn't a problem because these wheren't magical items... therefore mf didn't effect their drop rate. Normally I would have used a javazon for aoe... but not only was lightning fury nerfed at the time, the places where I hunted where lightning resist~

I would usually disagree with people saying a game looks TOO COLOURFUL because I quite like pretty colours and cartoony graphics but it really really doesn't suit diablo at all.
