Compared to HoN the game sucks. The only thing that might keep you interested is that there is a incentive to actually win a match besides getting PSR up. But it lacks a lot of things HoN doesn't.

well hon costs money and i cant get in the beta so this game to me is much better. free ftw

So I stumbled upon this game called League of Legends that's really fun to play and best of all it's free to play. It's made by the guys who made the DOTA mod for WC3. It's a team based strategy game that invovles taking your enemy teams towers. Anyone who's looking for a fun game to play that doesn't cost anything should check it out.

I don't think the next char will be an amazon, since amazons are women only (yeah i know monks are only supposed to be male as well.) It just seems like it would get a lot more discrediting than the monk, also I feel the barbarian kind of encapsulates the whole amazonian woman thing as well (if you're playing a female barbarian.) That being said I do believe an archer/javelin type of character could make a logical return, I just really hope its not as "amazon" with male counterparts. If it's not the amazon than it has to be the Druid, in fact my moneys on druid since we have our caster - wizard, warrior - barbarian, rogue/ninja - monk, and summoner/darker magic - witch doctor. and a shape-shifting character that can play as either a melee or caster type would be logical to balance the equation and not have too many characters of one type (ie melee vs range). I will miss the paladins though, but i have a feeling they won't be returning.

Thanks for the info. I didn't know any of this, and was wondering myself when the production actually started. I agree there was probably a lot of restarts on actual direction, but I'm sure they started working on the story and other things much earlier. However, if there were people working on it that long I would think there would have been a leak somewhere or other. No one can keep quiet that long. I do remember reading a trademark documentation of Blizzard trademarking the "Diablo" name again a few years back (no more than 4-5 years ago). Perhaps that was when they started working on it?

I have a feeling there will be a bestiary update that includes an actual boss. Maybe not a Prime Evil, but something lesser (Andariel type boss). Unfortunately I don't have much stock in there being too much new footage. Probably more of the same old with maybe a few new skills. Although I am hoping for a new area to be shown or a new class but I don't want to get too excited just to be let down.

I like this idea, I think Blizzard's goal here is to eliminate cookie cutters by allowing gamers to find needed modifiers elsewhere thus freeing up their choices for armors and weapons. Unfortunately once someone finds an unstoppable build it will be copied regardless. But I guess thats part of the fun, finding something that works well, copying it and trying to improve?

It's most likely a whole new MMO of it's own style and without another game to be considered it's forefather. Maybe a smaller scale one for free after purchase of game. Or maybe a more fighting intesive one (something like AoC) or wow like but without the target system (hack-n-slash style).

I for one am for the removal of Runewords. At least the elite ones need to be gotten rid of. My only concern is the loss of the Enigma. Enigma really defined dueling in Diablo II and without the sorceress would be overpowered (IMO). However, if they created a skill rune (which of course would be extremely difficult to find) that allowed a user to teleport then I would be content indefinately. This would allow all users to have that edge in dueling without having to concern urself with wearing the same old armor as everyone else. I feel this would also open up the doors for more customization within your characters.
