im not against the class. i like the idea, its just fighter and the way it is described seems like more of a brawler, like an unarmed Barb or warrior, i think the class could do quite well infact, but the name fighter is really my only concern, it doesnt sound all that impressive, Warrior you know he is gonna charge you with a weapon of some sort, but a fighter, he sounds more likely to come at you with his fists than a sword, and unless he is a DND monk (a martial artist of great reknown) im not to sure how well he would do.
but im sure it will be a fun class, and im sure he can use armor, and weapons. that is if it is a real class in D3. General Ryans info is how you say up for debate as to its validity.

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
The only hole that Elfen pointed out yet that I'm not aware of is, Why is www.diablo3.com a fan site? Was this domain purchased instantly after diablo2 came out? Has blizzard attempted to get it? Those I wont argue with. Sabacca50's reasoning was just plain stupid though.
yes it is a fan site, it has been around for 3 years or so, blizzard has made no offical bid for the site, but should they, Umaro the sites owner may sell it, that is one of his intentions of this site. the other main reason being why we are all here, DIABLO 3!!!!!

Situation 1: Ryan is lying. What a jackass!
|
*Situation 1.b: Ryan works for blizzard, and is generating hype for the game. Truth and lies do not matter. His mission is attention. He has accomplished his task.*
Situation 2: Ryan's contacts are lying. Shit on a stick! No one will believe this excuse even if it were true. It is impossible to prove.
Situation 3: Ryan is telling <50% truth. Nice estimation!
Situation 4: Ryan is telling >50% truth. His sources were reliable.
*Situation 1.b could also be applied to Situation 3 and 4.
Therefore, I would say there is a 60% chance ryan works for Blizzard. Spreading true and false rumors to generate hype. There is also a 20% chance that Ryan is lying himself, or his contacts are lying. Finally a 10% chance Ryan is telling the truth.
Based on these percentages, When Blizzard does release information about D3, I am going to bet that 10% of Ryans information will be accurate.
I think bits and pieces are accurate. I would say some spells might be true. The whip weapon is true. About 5% - 10% of the story is true.
So, why do I think ryan works at blizzard and will revealed about 10% of truth??????
THINK ABOUT IT!
There is very intricate information here. Classes, Spells, but most importantly, the story. That is one crazy story. A story so crazy, so insane, that it just might be believable. Why... because a Blizzard employee wrote it. I wouldnt be suprised if that was the first part of the first draft of the D3 story.
Ryan joined in October of 06, he gained a nice post count to get credibility, and the posted this thread when the time was right.
Like it or not, Blizzard, as well as other companies have leak schedules to generate hype. This was a strategic move by Blizz. They wanted some hype going into the holiday season and the new year. Making gamers anxious of what is in store for 2007.
Blizzard said there will be 3 big annoucements in 07.
1. Diablo 3
2. Starcraft 2
3. World of Warcraft: Expansion 2
Anyways, this is the most logical conclusion. Ryan works for Blizz. But then again, maybe I do too...!?
good points
now i dont want to build this site up any more than i have to, but i searched around and some of the ideas people here have come up with seem the most plausible of all the ideas ive seen here and on other sites.
but lets think semi logically, assuming you choose to believe someone, who would you rather believe a site called Diablo3.com, a site that caters to covering the third installment, or a site that primarily covers diablo 1 and/or 2, with a small page for diablo 3?
think i would go with diablo3.com (even if i was a new comer), whether or not what they say is the truth.
but back to General Ryan's Info, i dont think there is really anyway to prove what he has said is fact, so id rather just discuss it, share thoughts on this "info", (whether or not its is real), we have other threads for flaming, you wanna flame do it in there.
monster tamer, sounds like the beast master class from DND, a class which cant use metal weapons, only wooden ones which includes bows
dont really like the idea of a chronomancer. Templar sounds cool. it is as i predicted (assuming that it is fact) a more religious type char. it is about time for a game about heaven and hell the lack of religious chars was rather strange, almost to the point of annoyance, i like relgious chars they are so cool. (DND has a whole host of these chars but i suppose that is because there is a whole lot of gods to follow)
Quote from "Sabacca50" »
All the classes are believable except one. The Chronomancer. I have a hard time seeing how slowing down time would work in multiplay. The only way I can see it is, in that perticular zone, the time is slowed. Or, if it is like a necromancers curse, where only the targeted area is slown down.
thats my thoughts too, usually you just have one or two spells that affect time not 30 or so.
-time stop: bring time virtually to a stop, for you enemies not you
-slow time: slows time
and i suppose there would be a spell that speeds up time but thats about it.
a fighter, hmm in DND fighter just meant warrior, they could still use heavy armor and big weapons and the like, wonder if they will be similar?

I think the time-slow and all time controlling ablilities are just a name, it doesn't actually affect the speed of other players. Or perhaps those spells are global, meaning it it only affects monsters. That would make him an invaluable asset in PvE, but underpowered in PvP, since it wouldn't affect other players.
I dont know i just dont really like this char. master of time, it sounds like some lame DC comic char who gets his ass beat down every week. but im sure he is quote or can be quite powerful.
Quote from "PhrozenDragon" »
Personally though, I think the story is very fishy at best. I mean, you virtually beat the crap out of all demons 5 minutes ago, and now a new army just popped out of nowhere and lays siege to Harrogath?
it does seem a little like that. and Tyrael better not be corrupt, how lame would that be, too many people in Diablo get corrupt when the sequel rolls around wheres the originality?

that is the standard blizzard entertainment's game relase date. all of there game begin with a Dec 31 projected release date, then it gets shifted forward and back, depending on any number of things such as bugs still needing to be worked out.

indeed, we continue to wait ever still, ever vigilant, until the day that the games released date is announced or until such time as a screenshot is released.
by released, i mean official or leaked.

yes, as much fun as it is to ramble on (good song by led zeppelin by the way), it is important we stay focus on the topic at hand (and least for a few posts anyway), so no i believe him to be out either confirming his information and sources, or on holiday either way, i would not expect him to return for some time.
