    Default Who's a Diablo fan here?

    Just asking...It's been a while(meaning almost a decade) waiting for Diablo 3 to come out. Yeah sure those videos at BlizzCon looks cool. But then again, it's hell more a lot of fun to play than just watch...So here we go...just post your thoughts, rants, whatever...here





    do i sound like ranting?

    Played both to death, fantastic games. Amazing that there are so few clones as they are still sold even after what is centuries in game-years.

    You must have missed that.

    And FYI, Diablo III has been out for years now. It's called Titan Quest.

    I'm praying to all the gods that Blizzard doesn't royally screw D3 up like they did with D2 post-1.09 with the patches.

    Tbh, I can't care much anymore about Blizzard games now.

    I found Starcraft II to be really boring and unoriginal. I bet Diablo III will be the same. I'll try it when it's out, but for now, I already have a lot of Hn'S to try :)

    Diablo III. Ah. Been waiting 5+ years for it, hopefully 2011 will see it released. It looks very good, a continuation and a freshening up of the series. The story was made by Blizz. North back in the day, and they've only recently been able to build a good engine to do it justice. I sit and hope in anticipation.

    Same here, Blizzard gameplay mechanics are always polished to a mirror shine, it's impossible that it isn't at least really good at what it does. For these folks graphical wizardry has always been less important than overall presentation and clockwork precision.

    Of course it was unoriginal. Fans wanted to play starcraft but in 2010... not some game that did not resemble the orginal.

    I've been recreating my favorite ladder characters from seasons past (still have about 20 active accounts from up to six seasons ago) on Single Player using Hero Editor, capturing every detail so I can play them in Single Player when I want, once D3 takes over and D2 is gone. I'm just dwinking around with a MF sorc on the current ladder; haven't really gotten into it much this season.

    I'd been hanging on to the old characters on Non-Ladder so I could reference them and play them occasionally, but rebuilding them in Hero Editor will allow me to "keep" them on SP while liquidating all their high-end gear on the non-ladder trade market, so I have some trading power when D3 comes out.

    So yeah, I've played a ton since early 1.09, still play on occasion, and am looking forward to D3.

    My hopes are high when it comes to D3. When reading about it, it seems that they really have thought it through what was wrong with d2. One of the things they will put a lot into is the economy system. It was completely broken in d2

    I stongly disagree. Adding items like Enigma made the PvP part of d2 one of the best and most intense pvp systems ever made.

    I'm looking forward to it. Blizz will finish it up properly, no doubt. They do have endless time and money after all.

    I'm curious about how the crafting will work out.

    I had it on Amazon pre-order for ages, though when it comes out, I will be getting it for like £15, so good news for me.
