Haha, me and Sirius were just talking about this new event over PM. The gameplay video looks sweet. Anybody here play Diablo 2 online? I was an avid player. My accounts were stoakland, UbR-Romanak, etc. I use CC-Comp and used to use the old Bnet forums.
My thoughts on Diablo 3:
This game reminds me of a much better version of Dungeon Siege. The gameplay itself looks sweet enough to keep one very entertained through the whole singleplayer. I never even got past act1 singleplayer in diablo 2. I love the graphics, the same overhead view, and most of all the reused sound effects! Here's the thing I'm worried about: PVP online. PVP is what made Diablo 2 great and kept so many users on for so long. The Diablo 3 movie made the gameplay seem a lot slower, and if PVP is the same way it will suffer. The great part about d2 PVP was its fast and furious pace. However, the game isn't out yet so not much can be assumed.
Now what do you guys think? Will it be pay to play or a flat price at the beginning? If it's pay to play I don't think I'll be buying it. A college student can't afford losing 15-20 bux a month.
When it comes out we should all post our accounts and help each other out if we end up buying the game. And it'll be funny: now \"D3\" describes two awesome games!
I'm excited.

Re:
heheh. I played diablo2 online once for about two minutes.CDN_Merlin wrote:Diablo 3 makes me think of Titan's Quest. Looks the same but better. I played Diablo 2 but rarely online. To many hacks.
lost a maxed out barbarian with an ungodly amount of gold and rare items.
died from a hacked ranger with this 360 degree arrow that must have had 10,000 damage.
The hacks are fixed. The dupes aren't... You guys must have played back in 1.09
10k damage isn't that much for elite online players. With legit gear:
Sorc's Fireball can get to 14k
Sorc's Lightning can be like 1-40k
Necro's Bonespear can be like 7k
Paladin Hammer can be 16k
Amazon Guided Arrow can be like 7k
etc

Re:
Are you kidding? Diablo was super balanced. Every single character build had another character build that could defeat it. Maybe in the past it was different but for the last 4 years at least it's been pretty evenly matched.DarkHorse wrote:I'm hoping the world is much more interesting than Diablo 2.
And if there's any PVP, it couldn't possibly be worse. Diablo 2 simply wasn't balanced at all for PVP.
