Damn... why all the hate against the man and his team? Are you guys ignorant or something? Did you even read the whole 8 pages? Do you even understand how business works? Do you know how hard it is to start a company from scratch and work everything out using your own money?
I think what Flagship studios did was an achievement! Their only mistake (and he admits this btw) is that they tried too do too much with very little money. Their only problem was, they where used to Blizzard's funding, and always having millions and millions of dollars at their disposal to make a great game. I have absolutely no doubt at all in my mind, that if HG:L had the Blizzard seal of approval on it, it would have been A LOT more than it currently is. It would have been more finished and with more content. Because let's admit it, the concept was nice, It was different and daring, but that's what Blizzard is all about.
Anyways I hope all the best for Bill Roper and the guys who used to work at Blizzard North and Flagship.
And Uleman, PLEASE GO BACK AND MAKE DIABLO III's MUSIC!!!!! (Don't get me wrong, I like the music now, at least I don't hate it, but I know that Uleman would've made something more memorable and perfect)

I have to disagree here.Quote from "JELL" »Still, a lot of people will be disapointed when the game ships, developers just can`t please everyone.
I've havent heard of anyone disappointed by a GoW sequel, or a MGS sequel, or a FF sequel, or a RE sequel. and that's just to name a few.
anyways I highly doubt that Diablo III will be anything near disappointing.

Djinn_690 posted a message on Diablo III Thoughts From Ex-Blizzard EmployeeI think that blizzard north would have done a superb job on Diablo III if they where they ones that completed the project.Posted in: News
I would also like to point out that, considering they didn't have a fraction of the funding they had available to them when they where working with blizzard, does not make them less creative or bad game developers. I believe that if with the right funding Hell Gate London would have been a big success, sadly though they where limited to what they could do, and they probably made a miracle happen with whatever funds they had.
If they still had the funding and backing of Blizzard I'm more than sure that we would all be playing their masterpiece(Diablo III) by now and loving every second of it.
At they very least I'm sure they would never have even thought "I wonder what would happen if we make a Fast Paced Action RPG version of WoW" - which sadly seems to be what was going on in the heads of the current developers when they where working on it. -

I absolutely agree with you.Quote from "NP-RandyWest" »It sucks that Blizzard always think so much about the random retard, but never about the skilled player.
The thing that made Diablo II sooo F*****G amazing was that it was very realistic and while the action is very amazing and fast paced and there was demons running around, it was still realistic, because, u can get scammed or robbed (dont say wtf just yet) I'm not saying that I enjoy getting scammed or robbed off of a good item, but I like the fact that, just like you could get robbed in real life, you can get robbed in the game, (not to mention that some scams where genius and I couldnt help but smile after the initial shock :D)
Second, while the government controls part of the economy IRL, its mostly the people, and business men that affect it and change it all the time. but in the era that Diablo was set in, I dont think the government played a major role in the economy, so It only makes sense that its controlled by the people who play the game.
Lastly, for all you people who like the WoW-like Art, Duel system, economy system, etc, etc. STICK TO YOUR GODDAMN WoW AND LEAVE DIABLO FOR US!!!
instead of telling me to stick to playing Diablo II, You stick to your WoW!! I want Diablo III to be a "Diablo" sequel not a fast paced WoW game. -

Djinn_690 posted a message on Diablo III PK and PvPnow I'm totally depressed!Posted in: News
blizzard is taking out the heart and soul of diablo 3 and replacing it with one from WoW.
the art direction is WoW-ish, when i paused the gameplay video over the skills it looked like the 20 skill tab on the D2 skill tree has been replaced by some WoW-like skill system.
and now the PvP aspect of the game seems like its going to lean more towards a WoW-ish view rather than a Diablo view.... WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU BLIZZARD!!! (sorry but I'm seriously frustrated)
What made the Diablo series so great was that it kept you excited, and the PvP system was one of the most exciting aspects of Diablo. knowing that you could be killed by someone at any moment is part of the fun and it kept people involved with the game.
if u didnt want that, u could always make a password proteced game or put a level tab on ur game... easy as that!!!!
The Diablo II skill tree was one of the best damn things that ever happened to the Diablo games. because of it we where able to have many many builds of the same class, the builds seemed infinite. they where certaintly much more than anything the WoW skill system offered.
And the art, NO BLIZZARD ITS NOT JUST MUSIC THAT GIVES DIABLO ITS DARK FEEL!!! music is a huge factor in the equation but even more importantly is the color scheme. NICE COLORFUL RAINBOWS DONT FEEL LIKE "DIABLO" AT ALL!!!! no matter how eerie the music playing in the background is.
Blizz needs to take their heads out of WoW's ass and look into Diablo's instead!!!
P.S please excuse me for my language but I think I have the right to be mad as I am a "Diablo" fan who has been waiting for this game to come out for 8 years!!! and seeing them turn this game to something more of a non MMO WoW game is just disgusting to me!! - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

I think that "_____ of Pain" is a title title given to the strongest living Arachnid type demon.

o ok, nice argument. So I guess its safe to assume that all the fallen are blood related, and all the maggots are blood related and all the oblivion knights are blood related, etc.

I would like to see the shrines return though. They where very useful, except the stamina shrine, that one was only useful during the first half of the first act.

A summoner necro has everything he needs in his arsenal. He's got physical damage from his skeletons and corpse explotion, he's got a tank that could take 10k + dmg before dying, which is the clay golem. He's got all the magic elements available to him through his skellital mages, and he's got curses that could debuff his enemies. He's also got skills that could trap his enemies and the bone armor to absorb damage.
what more do you want?
He's the only class that if you somehow die with him in hell when soloing, you can actually go back naked kill the demons that killed you and retrieve your corpse easily, using your skellies. Much easier than any other class can.

Unless of course the secret level is gonna be called something like, Bunnies in Rainbow land (unless the bunnies are scary and the rainbows have really dark colors)

why not?
why cant the abyss spawn similar demons that are similar in looks?
why can't these similar demons have an affinity for each other?
think about it... its all possible.
now if you show affinity to a girl from your same region, with the same hair color, the same skin color, and even the same eye color.... does that mean that she has to be either your sister or mother??
....I didn't think so.

the reason it took so long is because they scrapped 2 previous art directions and started from scratch. And the first time they stopped working on the game was when Blizzard North was released. That makes for a total of 3 times this project was stopped and restarted.
yes you are overreacting. there will only be 5 playable classes in the initial release. This has been said time and time again by Jay Wilson in many interviews.
as bashiok said "We haven't announced any final support for DirectX versions/system requirements. I'll say that right now we're not using any DirectX10 features, but we potentially could."
source
I agree with you there I disagree with this... its not final yet, as a matter of fact, the current level cap is still 99, but it may be changed in the future. source
Yup they will.
they're still not shure about this actually and they wont be until the game is finished. And I could see micro transactions taking place for this game.
ok you're right Rob did mention that almost all classes are playable back at their main office, and that was back when the game was first announced, in the gamespot exclusive interview. But there's the argument that playable doesnt mean finished... I think its already been stated that they havent got all the skills for all the characters yet.
the whole "in a year" thing is wishfull thinking... I think a year and a half at its earliest.
