yeah i agree with someone here that said its not much of a paladin replacement... i mean its true the only really similarity we have seen so far putting aside all the lore... is something that looks like zeal... pallies had a bucket load of defence.. the monk trades that for speed... pally used shield alot... the monk does not... and 2/3 of the pally trees were mainly party buffs... the monk has none that we can see... i think the monk works more like the assasin if anything... and i would expect the 5th class to be a more party buffer

Just an idea... mabey what could happen is you could pay to bring back a hc char but its no longer a hc char, it becomes a norm char?

Monk makes me go clicky clicky clicky clicky clicky clicky clicky clickyclicky clicky clicky clickyclicky clicky clicky clickyclicky clicky clicky clickyclicky clicky clicky clickyclicky clicky clicky clickyclicky clicky clicky clicky

In the end its all math and numbers that determines the dmg output or power of the weapon... which all the variables are controlled by blizzard wheather its a mace a staff or a feather you have in your hand the outcome is gonna be as blizzard intended, if not it just gets nerfed.. this is just a way to contain the lore and make the chars loricaly (no pun intended) accurate both historically and visually

Yeah i have been reading alot of these comments all over the place... i dunno how many people actually like Ozzy that were there.. this is prob worth 2 cents.. but i worked at a hotel for a while in banquets and noted when you have a group of people that generally don't like all the same kind of music... use a dj.. if there is some kind of common interest your okay with a band.. these guys all have blizzard music as a common intrest..

i went to musicon a few months ago here in houston and blizzard put on a concert of just there music.. alot of it was WoW music though.. but they did put on a pretty good show..

if you talk about Ozzy not getting pumped.. thats more his problem cuz the crowd, being realistic here and knowing that they are not all Ozzy fans, did accept him and went along with the show.. they just dident know all the things that go on at a "normal" Ozzy concert lol

I have to say the idea that the monk replacing the pally within the mechanics of the game would not be so accurate... pallies gave alot of group support, which i do not see happening with the monk... mechanically i see more of the assasin comming out with the monk than the pally.. now this idea alot of people are talking about with the bard class suggestion seams that it could kill two stones with one bird... fufill the ranged class and bards gave really nice party buffs in dnd more than dmg.. so i think this could be a really interesting twist.. really excited to see really how it unfolds!

If its ok to add to your list i would like to add Duriel... most people underestimate him and lore wise... he was the only lesser evil to take out the prime evils

Im sure we can all agree that Diablo 1 was for the most part intended and was played mostly as a single player game.

Diablo 2 turned into more of a multiplayer game and the community really wants the multiplayer feature in Diablo 3.

Since D3 is going to be an online game that is going to be played by many people online, I think it would be safe to say some MMOish (any game that has a large online player base) features would actually enhance Multiplayer Gameplay, i belive... this is after all an opinion.

Some of these include:

-Trading system
-Chat system / Chat interface
-Some might say loot system (i never thought this was a problem)
-Some kind of Player management system like /f list but with a more usable interface that more of the comunity would understand
-Some players would like to be able to customize their interface which can be done in most MMOs (Note: these are not bots... this is simply being able to change the look of your User Interface and how it works based on your gameplay and how you wish to manipulate your UI and does not change game mechanics)

Id like to hear what the community thinks on these mechanics...

If anyone would like to add to this list please feel free... but please take systems that are existant in MMOish (any game that has a large online player base) games that have not been announced as a feature in d3. Also keep in mind these are gameplay mechanics and not gameplay features such as Raids and PvP battlegrounds or instances.

If anyone wishes to flame this, please feel welcome, as always, i just ask that everyone stay on topic.

BTW we have gotten a little off topic so if anyone wants to open a thread calld "definition of RPG" they can but lets asume that since all the Diablo games have recived Best RPG awards from many sources and Diablo 1 reciving Second Best RPG of all time award (i doubt anything will ever top D&D).... it is an RPG for this thread...

All im asking is that your arguments stay within the same playing field not on a field and a court, just trying to set up some kind of parameters.

@ Doppelganger

I was waiting for you to stop by i always like to hear what you have to say... I wonder if ill ever write something you will agree with under that scrutiny lol.

I dont know ive been able to play d2 on a controller that i programed for gaming and stuff its basicly a ps2 controller but i have keyboard and mouse functions maped to it and it works out really well... i use both but its a nice little spice added to my gaming lol

@ Blackwing

One solution i heard my poli sci teaher say was an interesting idea they have been tossing around jokingly and then became a main topic of discusion is just making all of North America the U.S. lol

I dont know how sucessfull this would be knowing how most the fans feel about MMOs lol

Which one i presented two lol... the issue of if its binded then you actually have to find it... and then it cannot be traded... the other one is if its not binded then it can be traded but then takes away from the uniqueness of the item... "HEY LOOK AT ME I HAVE THIS REALLY REALLY REALLY UNIQUE ITEM!!! o rly what is it??? ITS CALLED A STONE OF JORDAN! o everyone has that... why call it a unique item if its not really that Unique lol

lol yeah your right what was the funniest colored item in d2??? i think the dyed Kris looked weird cuz it looked like a wigily colored thing
