It's all one resource pool and they add and subtract programmers/designers from game to game in order to meet deadlines and demand. I saw a thing about Blizzard a while ago.

last i heard the Blizzard was dumming down Diablo III and having a less complicated skill tree and auto-assigning of points etc.

dam, i hope not :(

One of the key points of Diablo II was the fact that you had to build your character correctly or you got your ass handed to you in Hell.

normal - cruising
nightmare - feeling strong
Hell - crying to yo' momma

like lots of skills ... synergies are key so you can specialize you character to your game play preference.

Went out to my moms this weekend. my little brother (still in HS) was playing D2, and apparantly they have these little "items" that fall now, and allow people to totally reset their skill tree's etc...

kinda defeats the point of building "correctly" but i can see why they did it... to please all the n00bs out there that don't know wtf they are doing...

not really digging the wizard... looks pretty weak.... but the monk looks like he has the best skills, and the barbarian looks like a pure slugger (the way it should be)...

pretty sweet new addition they just came out with. The Artisan. I personally like how you can break down armors etc, into things you can use instead of making 500 trips into town to sell stuff..

damn embed wont work so there's the link

Its confirmed there will be only 5? I'm guessing the last will be a bow user.

Can't have diablo without a ranged bow class...

looks like the monk has some decent AOE abilities

fear/confusion spell
multiple attack
Charge attack
throwing some kind of darts or something
meteor or Holy bolt AOE attack

Thorn Aura Paladins Union, FTW! Get that MONK garbage out of my face!

<3 u Laz

my ice sorc used to eat pallys for breakfast!! :D



gonna miss the sorcerer teleport spell :(


t'was so handy

My Lancer Barb from the non-expansion D2 would own all your panzy little chars... FGOAD FTW!!!

when DIII comes out we should get a CP group together. If it's anything like DII then it's much easier leveling up in a group.

maybe they will even have clans or guilds

I will PK and grief the **** out of you.

They're supposedly working on a Clan/guild channel.... and they also say this game is meant for cooperative play... meaning it's supposed to be played in groups... but i believe the group size is only 4 now...
