Yeah man, they only do stuff on the West Coast of the USA and nothing in Australia either! Crazy.

I usually played with 4-5 people in D2 anyway unless we were doing runs or whatever

I will 100% guarantee you that they wont release 3 games in one year. Especially considering a lot of people play all 3 games and will only have enough money for 1-2. It's just silly.

I reckon it's good. Lets be honest - while the D2 economy was fun it was very, very flawed. I'm glad they are taking big steps to try and fix it. There are always going to be positives and negatives with whatever trading system they decide on, though.

I usually play again once every couple of years. I started again this year (downloaded from Blizzard site) played for a good 3 months or so. Don't think I will play again before D3 but with talk of this new patch I might have to...

They definately haven't finished 4 characters yet. They are still changing skill animations etc. (and the skills themselves)

Gambling? What an original idea. I wish they thought of that for Diablo 2.

Jesus that trailer is terrible. Luckily the gameplay vids were so awesome.

Yeah, if you had to really steriotype and pick the 3 remaining classes from a hat it would likely be a ranger type class, a healer type class and a mage type class. Obviously Blizzard will put a cool spin on this and make them unique and specalised, but I predict this will be the general concept.

Have you played Diablo before dude? No healer classes. And a Mage class has already been announced.

I will live life (boring, I know)

Yeah, the in-game cut scene they showed us was pretty terrible to be honest. I hope there are still big, epic cutscenes like in Diablo 2. I loved those.

Want to know the truth? We can expect any class now...
who expected that the fourth class was the Monk?
Luckily for me his came.
And why paladin again...?
but... who knows?

Quite a few people expected that the 4th/5th class would be a Monk or something like it actually

Crystal Shell

Think that the glaringly obvious choice for the 5th class is a cross between the Amazon and the Druid.

@ valeo: You do realize that Blizzard holds the chips here, right? Without Blizzard, Activision would lose immense power and profit. As far as I've seen, Activision has not affected what stuff is implemented in a game or how a game is developed. I haven't heard of anything of them for a long time in relation to Blizzard, actually.

Yes, I realise that Activfision-Blizzard is simply the publishing company and not really anything to do with the development studio but I still think it's not really a coincidence that as soon as Activision jumped on board Starcraft 2 suddenly split into a trilogy that would cost not $60-80 but $160-200. Each game will also 'add something to the multiplayer game' according to Joystiq so you are basically forced to buy 3 copies of one game. I've still not seen a believable justifcation for that from Blizzard.

I suppose i'm just suspicious of it because Activision is pretty much the polar opposite of what Blizzard tries to be as a company. Activision takes a franchise and milks it for all it's worth until it dies a sad death.
