    "Someone from the previous games" doesn't directly have to be a player controlled character. It could be a desert fighter like Greiz, only re imagined to incorporate bows as well as spears.


    that is a good point, the 5th class could be any ranged character that has had an appearance such as the "ironwolves" (the mercs in act 3) that used magic spells but equipped swords and shields. It's still not enough info to really tell anything yet

    Blizzard Comments on the Fifth Character
    Jay Wilson made a comment about a possible reappearance of a character from Diablo 1 or 2 in an interview with IGN at Blizzcon 2009: [3]
    IGN: You did mention that [the fifth class is] being revealed next year, and that it's someone from the previous games...
    Jay Wilson: I did say that. I probably shouldn't have said that, because we're not sure that's going to be the case. It's just logical, that's what we tend to do. But it may or may not. I'm not gonna answer it, anyway... [laughs]

    In another interview from Blizzcon 2009, Kevin Martens said the fifth character will fit an unfilled niche. [4]
    Kevin Martens: It's going to fit a different niche than the existing classes, and it will still be awesome.

    When asked why they revealed the Monk 4th, Blizzard gave an interesting answer. [5]

    Diii.net: Why did you choose to reveal the Monk this year? Was there some debate re: the Monk vs. the other unannounced class?
    Kevin Martens: It was largely chance that we developed and revealed them in the order we did. We did the Wizard last year and that was a ranged, magical class. So this year we thought the Monk, as the game’s second melee class, would be a nice change. The Monk is a good contrast from the Barbarian, our real tank class. The Barbarian can’t move as fast as the Monk, and he’s much tougher. The Monk does as much damage as the Barbarian, but he’s not as tough or durable. He has to keep moving to keep from being dominated, but if he moves right he can dominate. This was the right time to reveal the second melee class.

    While Kevin doesn't exactly say so, his reply contains a strong element of, "we didn't want to reveal 2 ranged attackers in a row." Since they had the unknown 5th character, and the melee fighter Monk to choose from for the 4th reveal, that strongly hints at a ranged attacker remaining for the last slot.


    From the above quotes taken from blizzard, it is likely that the Rogue will return as the last class because it is "from the previous games" and "fits an unfilled niche" while being a "ranged attacker"

    The main point isn't weather illegally downloading the songs is wrong or not, because I think everyone knows the answer whether they want to admit it or not, the point is that people should either be good or be good at it.

    if your going to download music, don't do it on a network that is being monitored. Don't download every song that comes out. DON'T GET CAUGHT.

    Finally the most important thing is go to concerts to help the musicians that you like.

    Until they can fix it completley why fine people? It's not even technically illegal since nobody makes a profit. It's just sharing.:D

    The fact that nobody is making profit is EXACTLY why it is illegal. File sharing is against the law and the government is cracking down on the people who do it the most, college students. If you don't want to pay for $3000 worth of music, then don't own every single song that comes out. Be more selective and the government will leave you alone and go after someone else that has more music.

    YOUR IN COLLEGE, BE SMART.

    naksucow - u summed it up!
    jumping into d3 on mp will be stupid, as noone else will stop and wait while you talk to deckard or whoever.
    because some ppl will play it for different reasons, some for story, some for just beating the game.
    I, on the other hand, am definitely gonna install D3 and just shoot straight past mp and go solo.
    Cuz, for me, i love the story, and can't wait to take my time and unravel it.

    If blizzard intends to encourage starting with online play immediately, they're gonna have to do alotta encouraging on my part (and i think any user like me).

    Unless of course they put a 'online registration recquired for any play' clause on the box, which will totally piss me off.

    I agree on playing the game solo first before online, if anything it would help prevent people, who have no idea what they are doing, from ruining parties. I remember one game there was a new guy who would run around and ask for items everytime he died because he didn't know he could get his items from his dead body.

    People should play single first if only so they don't look like complete idiots when they start on B-net

    What would the totem poles do?

    if you read the post right above mine, the totem poles would shoot fire.

    I personally like the Monk class, according to http://diablo.wikia.com/wiki/Monk the monk would be a character fighting for light (like the pally) but would use staffs and hand to hand combat. It says he is better equipped with light armor rather then heavy. HE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A HEALER TYPE.

    posted a message on So... the other 3 classes?
    My prediction:

    Barbarian*
    Witch Doctor*
    Monk
    Psion (telekinesis based mage)
    Rogue (Thief based, hopefully originating from the desert)

    and no Rogue does not imply only female, it is defined as a mischievous person.

    its only 40$ for both D2 and X-Pac lol

    The game may be only 40$ but when you can only afford the essentials, then 40$ is hard to come by... I feel your pain man.

    i want a mage that can raise huge pillars of fire out of the ground to obliterate my enemies :thumbsup:

    If you change pillars to totem poles it sounds like a skill the Witch doctor would have

    posted a message on Please Blizzard, Remove those MUST Skills, 1pt. Wonders and Useless Skills!!!
    One thing no has mentioned yet is the fact that Blizzard did announce that they were trying to find a happy medium in respec. It this is true then it is completely possible to put a couple points into a skill then take them away later when it isn't as useful, I just hope they stay away from being able to completely respec a character, it takes away the fun of creating more then one character of the same type.

    That's right. D2 was flawed in this sense. No skill should be useless. It's just a broken system.

    And what was up with consecutive skills that were very similar, with the latter ones being more powerful. Wtf is the point of having the lower ones? Oh, synergy...lame.

    STUPID implementation.

    We need unique and self-sufficient skills that are usefull in different scenarios. The player choosing these skills chooses them according to their playing style and HOW they want to achieve their goal.

    I don't know about anyone else but this makes since to me. You would have to be able to shoot a small ball of fire before you can shoot a huge ball of fire that explodes. I do believe that in real life you have to be able to do basic math before you can do advanced math... you have to be able to drive a car before you can drive a commercial truck, etc...

    posted a message on Getting rid of a old class?
    I seem to remember hearing that almost anyone who witnessed the events that took place during D2 went mad and disappeared during the 20 years that past between D2 and D3, (mentioned in an interview with blizzard at Gamespot.com and I believe in Cains journal at the official website), so it is completely possible if not highly likely that all the characters will be new classes (with exception to the barbarian of course)

    Holy quadruple post, Batman.

    lol, awesome (however oddly enough the second reference to Batman I have seen just today in the forums)

    Diablo won't get any bigger, and if he does, then I am stumped because I thought we saw his real form in D2

    I really don't want to have to clean his toes... I doubt he keeps them clean at all.

    posted a message on Tra(n)g'Oul theories.
    I found this quote at http://diablo.wikia.com/wiki/Inarius

    "Along with the creation of Sanctuary came the creation of the Worldstone (and Trag'Oul - though they are unaware of Trag'Ouls existance)."

    What do you guys think happened to Trang'Oul when the Worldstone had to be destroyed? surely a deity didn't depart along with it throwing the world into utter chaos and pissing off every necromancer?
