May 9, 2011Kiserai posted a message on May 9th Conference CallI'm not sure where the disappointment is coming from; did anyone expect an actual guaranteed date? We knew they weren't entering beta until the last systems are announced, is it wasn't going to be imminent (i.e., this month). That means anything is still an estimation on their part. They were right on par with what they said along these lines for SC2, I think they've gotten a better grasp of their own dev cycle and I'm confident in their goal of a late summer beta.Posted in: News

Oct 22, 2010Kiserai posted a message on The Blizzcon HubThis class looks badass, no doubt, but...Posted in: News
anyone else think 'demon hunter' is a strange / lame title? I mean, which of the classes ISN'T hunting demons? :confused: -

I really don't appreciate having you guys rip my throat apart for not agreeing with everything.
You mean me? I wasn't directing any of that at you, specifically. Moreso at the people having complete tantrums, i.e., 'OMG NOOOO I WANT MY KNIIIIIGHT' without so much as seeing some gameplay.
You said 'Eh, not my thing.' That's cool. Barbarian has never been my thing. It's just how it is. -
Aug 21, 2009Kiserai posted a message on New Diablo 3 Character Class: The Monk!Right on. I'm not saying it's going to be my first char. probably but I think it's a neat direction and has a LOT of potential, and I can't wait to see it. I'm not disappointed in any character or spell yet that I've seen.Posted in: News
Just wait for the cluster!#@% that will ensue when the 5th / final class is announced, there will be people sobbing for days that (insert class they wanted) didn't make it or was implemented in another form, without giving the classes we are getting a chance. -
Aug 21, 2009Kiserai posted a message on New Diablo 3 Character Class: The Monk!Blah, no one ever likes change. I can't believe how many people are already disappointed or giving up on the class because of 1 image and the title 'Monk'. We have no idea what his story his, how he fights, what his abilities are, etc. etc. etc.Posted in: News

Aug 21, 2009Kiserai posted a message on New Diablo 3 Character Class: The Monk!Posted in: NewsQuote from "nefaust" »Isn't the female wizard from Xiansai?
This is an old old debate and no-one ever believes me and dear God I can't wait to be vindicated.
She was born in Xiansai, and sent to Caldeum at an extremely young age to be educated. I don't buy she 'hails from' or 'represents' Xiansai, in the way that ever class seem to do.
For all we know he was born in Caldeum and sent to Xiansai to be trained It would explain why he doesn't look Asian, as many assume the natural populace of Xiansai do. -
Aug 21, 2009Kiserai posted a message on New Diablo 3 Character Class: The Monk!Yeah, not buying that he's any kind of 'healer', in any sense. It would break the mechanic of all classes meant to be played both in SP as well as online.Posted in: News
And Psionics would be in line with his archetype, and there are a dozen ways they could implement absolutely badass psionic attacks with the engine they've been showing off (i.e., think of some of the Wizard abilities). -
Aug 21, 2009Kiserai posted a message on New Diablo 3 Character Class: The Monk!Also, you heard it here first*:Posted in: News
Martial Arts & Psionics
and he represents Xiansai.
*Unconfirmed by Blizzard, but I'd put money on it. -
Aug 21, 2009Kiserai posted a message on New Diablo 3 Character Class: The Monk!Posted in: NewsQuote from name="Duckman Drake" »I'm pretty disappointed.Monks are pretty boring and over-played in RPGs.
I would of preferred something more creative and out-there.
Don't you think you should see, at minimum, a minute or two of gameplay before assuming you know how the class will play and what it's mechanics will be?
By your reasoning the Barbarian should be scrapped. Want to talk about overplayed? Hulking fighter-type is the absolute basic class of every RPG ever created. -
Aug 5, 2009Kiserai posted a message on Patch 1.13 PTR Forum is Up - Don't Get Excited, ThoughPosted in: NewsQuote from "Teo" »they need to fix the game before they add content
I think the consensus hope is that they'll be doing both. -
Aug 4, 2009Kiserai posted a message on Patch 1.13 PTR Forum is Up - Don't Get Excited, ThoughIn case everyone has missed it, the WC3 patch just went live, which in Bashiok's own words mean the 1.13 for D2 should be very, very close in hitting PTR.Posted in: News

PvP, bring it on. PK griefing? Time for it to retire.

Everyone has a favorite class in D2. The things about those classes were fun for a reason, and those reasons will be back in D3 (albeit in different forms) with plenty of new stuff the fans never even knew they'd love. That's how this all goes.

Whenever the WD or classes discussion comes up I get the distinct impression they're trying to really breathe new life into the franchise with new classes, skills and material. Only 5 (probably) classes, and they're going to have 2 eerily similar classes?
All that said, I think the WD is an incredibly fun idea. You get the fun stuff from the Necro / summoning side with enough that's new that it doesn't feel like a Necro in new clothing. Great aesthetics, fun looking skills...what's not to love?

I'm not sure about Mercs -- if we make them too involved and customizable then every class suddenly has a 'pet class' addition that I just don't see being that interesting. I like the perspective of D2, where you could give them some equipment, tweak them a bit but not so much you really had to get invested in it.

I would like point out that his discussion about the Witch Doctor puts a huge damper on the few people holding out hope for the Necromancer's return. It really seems obvious he's the replacement in that summoner / poison / walls / etc. role with a new spin and some new skills / tactics.
He reiterates the devs saying that the Barbarian is an exception in being carried over from the previous game, and IMHO the pure caster Sorceress / Mage / whatever will probably be the only other of the 5 classes that is carried over. The other 3 (WD included) will be new or at least 'spun' classes (e.g., the WD as a 'spin' on the Necro).

My wild speculation: announced / released at Blizzcon in October.

Translation: I know I'm wrong and cannot justify my opinion but I'm either too proud or too infantile to say as such so I'm just going to go post on a different thread where people will leave me alone.
Good riddance.

Besides, what does that even mean? Ask people what the iconic class was in D2 and you'll get responses for every class, everyone has their own favorite.

Yes. Because that makes any kind of sense whatsoever.
I guess that explains why SC2 was announced a year ahead of D3 and they've already allowed limited public playing of the game?
Please, start a new topic or put up a poll or something if you really honestly think there is even the slightest justification for thinking that D3 will launch first. I hope that seeing that no-one else even remotely agrees with you will finally end the sewage you keep dripping into all these threads. Wow. Seriously. :rolleyes:

Speaking of people who need to think...you're on meth, dude.
SC2 AFTER D3? Really? Multiple interviews have stated the new Battle.Net will be launched for SC2, and one dev saying that many of the features in development for B.net for SC2 'will roll over to D3 when it launches'.
Not to mention the obvious fact that SC2 is much further along in the dev process than D3. Much much much.

Thanks for clearing that up. While you're here, how is it to work at Blizzard? Is it as fun as we might think?
I'm asking because only a Blizz dev. working on the game would know that for a fact. So either that's what you are, or you're just another annoying forum trawler masquerading your opinion for fact without even having the courtesy to elaborate on your opinion.

This isn't a terribly stupid idea. Blah blah blah business strategy -- the fact is that each franchise is a very different genre than the others, and each has both hardcore and shared fanbases.
Do I personally think this is true? I'm really not sure. It seems unlikely mostly because I don't see D3 coming out this soon, although I can hope. The different audiences available to each game keeps it from being a stupid business strategy, IMHO.
However, I'm sure Blizz would like to allow each game some unique time in the spotlight for hype, press coverage, etc. I could see them easily launching all 3 games within the same 1-year period; i.e., WotLK by the holidays, SC2 in early 2009 and D3 by summer 2009. That's still kicking the gaming industry right in the gut with the 'hydra' plan, but allows each game some time to revel in its own hype.
