Purkake Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) So GAF has compiled a whole bunch of new info about Diablo 3 from Blizzcon. Or just watch all the panels on Youtube. Edited October 24, 2010 by Purkake
Humodour Posted October 24, 2010 Author Posted October 24, 2010 The final class has been revealed, too: Demon Hunter. Diablo 3 is expected to ship in 2011.
Maria Caliban Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 The final class has been revealed, too: Demon Hunter. <3 "When is this out. I can't wait to play it so I can talk at length about how bad it is." - Gorgon.
LadyCrimson Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 (edited) Yea, I saw that a couple days ago I think. Looks like a revamped Assassin w/some Amazon-like ranged skills. Could be interesting. I have the feeling it's still going to be the Monk & Wizard for me. In that order. Then maybe I'll try out the new Assazon....er I mean Demon Hunter.

Calax Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 They kinda said that the assassin is going to be based around a mix of amazon and assassin abilities. Specialty is dw crossbows. Also announced is a PvP and PvE realm division, so that those who like to kill other players have their own area (and arenas actually) while those who like slaughtering monsters for loots don't have to worry about the flying barbarian of dooooooom. They also said they were probably going to bring back the hints at what happened to the characters of the previous games (I think mike chu said that in one of the panels). Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Serrano Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 Is the necromancer still being considered as a playable character for the expansion or is that hope dead and burried?
Calax Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 IIRC (didn't watch much of the Diablo stuff) They said something along the lines of "We wish we could put the necromancer in here, but it couldn't live up to the amazingness that was the D2 necro" Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Humodour Posted October 25, 2010 Author Posted October 25, 2010 They also said they really want to consider a necro for the X-pack. I think that, of all the classes they'll put in the X-pack, the necro is the one you can bet on most to be in it. And I don't even like playing them.
Morgoth Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 Diablo 3 is expected to ship in 2011. There is no release date. I expect 2012 at the earliest. Rain makes everything better.
LadyCrimson Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 ...yeah, I was hoping for something like 3rd quarter of 2011 but knowing Blizzard it'll be 2nd-4th quarter 2012. Maybe. “Things are as they are. Looking out into the universe at night, we make no comparisons between right and wrong stars, nor between well and badly arranged constellations.” – Alan Watts
entrerix Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 im guessing summer 2012 Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.
Calax Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 weren't people saying about the same things about Cataclysm at the same time last year? Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Morgoth Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 Blizzard hinted often enough that it's not ready for 2011. Rain makes everything better.
Humodour Posted October 26, 2010 Author Posted October 26, 2010 The claims that Diablo 3 won't ship in 2011 are unfounded. Source? Blizzard is about to start the Diablo 3 beta. They have also said this week that they are more than half done and have lots and lots of content completed. Beta testing is usally only entered into once a game is close to completion. I think we'll see the game ship late 2011.
Humanoid Posted October 26, 2010 Posted October 26, 2010 Blizzard hinted often enough that it's not ready for 2011. Yeah, but the criteria for being "ready" is rarely judged by the developer these days. L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G
Nepenthe Posted October 26, 2010 Posted October 26, 2010 Blizzard hinted often enough that it's not ready for 2011. Yeah, but the criteria for being "ready" is rarely judged by the developer these days. Yeah, but if anyone's an exception to the rule, it's Blizzard. Of course, since they work for Kotick, we must not underestimate his willingness to kill golden geese. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
LadyCrimson Posted October 26, 2010 Posted October 26, 2010 Yeah, but if anyone's an exception to the rule, it's Blizzard. This. “Things are as they are.

Shryke Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 dual wielding crossbows.... when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!
Humanoid Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 Playing devil's advocate: The shark was well and truly jumped when various RPGs (no idea which was the first) allowed dual-wielding claymores. If anything, dual crossbows are less improbable than that. L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G
mkreku Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 Playing devil's advocate: The shark was well and truly jumped when various RPGs (no idea which was the first) allowed dual-wielding claymores. If anything, dual crossbows are less improbable than that. I've been to a castle close by where I live, where they have this room called "rustkammaren" (I have no idea how to translate that). It's basically a room full of medieval weapons. They have hand-crossbows in there! Like, tiny crossbows with a pistol grip! I imagine it would be possible to dual-wield those. I have no idea how you load them though. They also had this massive musket.. with nine barrels! It looked amazing! It is said that the only guy who ever fired it was killed by the recoil (it has only been fired once..). Unfortunately you're not allowed to take pictures in there, but if you ever come to Stockholm/Uppsala, Sweden, make sure you visit Skokloster Castle. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Purkake Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 Yes, the thing that Diablo needs is realistically functioning and authentic medieval weapons.
