Diablo 3 - General Discussion I - Page 62

Hold up a second, you're actually bitching that we aren't discussing the PG of the PGT thread? The PGT is for pictures, of course we aren't over there yelling about how awesome the pictures are, its for fucking pictures, not goddamn discussion.

This is for discussion, hence there is discussion.

Where is the fucking mystery?

The guy is just confused that people get excited for games, too busy nailing his model trophy wife

. I'm wondering how many classes will be available when the game is released. I thought I read in the thread somewhere that they aren't planning on transporting classes from d2 to d3, or did I read that wrong and they said characters? I'll have to go back and check, because they already have the barb w/pretty similar skills already (whirlwind/leap). Hope they bring over the paladin, really enjoyed playing vengeance and whatnot, could never get into being a hammer pally.

I could feasibly see Blizzard releasing SC2 and D3 in the same FY, crazy.

I believe the current plan is for there to be 5 classes at launch. From the sound of it they do not plan on bringing over any more classes from D2 but don't quote me on that. It's a shame because I really liked playing a necro but it looks like the Witch Doctor is taking some of those skills and yet doesn't really appeal to me.

Diablo isn't Diablo without the Sorc. It will be there in some form.

The Paladin is a given too. You don't have Heaven vs. Hell without a holy warrior.

Technically Diablo I didn't have a holy warrior few spells but they were pretty useless. I don't doubt the Paladin will return but I imagine a overhaul is comming for it. Barbarian and sorce will have the same stuff with updated animations and all that. I am hoping that add a mechanical side to the world this time. Science and sorcery type of thing. Guns would ruin it but maybe a gadget using class kinda like the assassin from II.

Allow me to direct you to the solution when the same question was asked about Starcraft 2

Valos · 06-30-2008, 03:37 PM

They said 4-5 classes. I believe that other then the barbarian there will be no returning classes. I could be completely wrong though, but I believe they will just have new classes with elements of the old mixed in. Witch doctor is a perfect example of this.

1 barb class already known
2 witch doctor already known
3. pure magic class pretty obvious
4. class that uses shield so defender or templar or sum such
5. class that uses bows so a ranger or something. likely a druid/hunter hybrid

seems pretty obvious what the 5 classes will be to me

jayrebb · 06-30-2008, 03:57 PM

The paladin concept is probably going to get copied over just a new label.

Cleric, levitating hammer, defender, templar, etc. It will still be a D2 paladin.

D1 random generator was much much much better than D2.
I remember hoping i wouldnt see acid dogs & lava golems in lvls 7 to 14
Sometimes even some bosses were missing (king Loreac).

D2 would still be played a LOT today if it had a "scalable resolution" (real GFX engine)
800x600 on a 22"Wide sucks (dont even get me talking about scaling)...

King's Sword of Blood !

If I remember right, D1 had 3 or 4 'random' quests that you could get. Some games had Arkaine's Valor, some had Leoric. Some got the meteor for the sword from Grizwold. Can't remember if the Butcher was one of those or if every game got it.

I wouldn't call that the 'random dungeon generator' though. Most people use that to refer to the layout of the map, enemies contained within and the population of minibosses.

D2 did indeed lack the random 'events' like Leoric and it sounds like they are going to revisit that design idea. No reason not too. Honestly I wouldn't mind seeing dozens of them, maybe even a system to patch in more as they go. Would love to see a random event/quest pop up every few weeks.. or even a handful for every ladder season.

FYI: D2 with LoD goes up to 1024 resolution. - NM, I was off. D2 is 640x480 and LoD is 800x600.

I'd love to know how... :/ Because it only shows 800x600 on my machine

Oh.. my bad. It's only 800x600. The original was 640x480.
