I'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.

This class looks badass, no doubt, but...

anyone else think 'demon hunter' is a strange / lame title? I mean, which of the classes ISN'T hunting demons? :confused:

I'm sorry, but no TPPK fix = couldn't possibly care any fucking less. What a joke.

I just don't like the idea of a monk, and I don't believe I stated that with any anger toward anyone here. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.


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).

Also, you heard it here first*:

Martial Arts & Psionics

and he represents Xiansai.

*Unconfirmed by Blizzard, but I'd put money on it.

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.

they need to fix the game before they add content

I think the consensus hope is that they'll be doing both.

In 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.
