    They don't release 1 WoW expansion every year. Blizzard normally waits about 1 1/2 - 2 years between a retail and an expansion, and in WoWs case... between expansions.

    WoW is a different case in that (i heard) they average 3 content patches (free MINOR expansions) between exp packs.

    The wizard CAN wield REAL (in game) swords imo. I have a feeling the classes will be:

    Barbarian: All (except MAYBE staff)
    Witch Doctor: Dagger, Staff maybe 1H Axe (think about a voodoo caster carrying a bloody hatchet).
    Wizard: Staff, Dagger, Sword
    Monk: Staff, Hand Weapons

    posted a message on Mercs!!!
    Actually, i believe this has been touched upon. I don't remember where, but it was.

    But in regards to merc armies, i really really really really really really really doubt the will add merc armies, let alone mercs at all.

    From what i've seen and heard about Diablo 3, the game is too easy as is. It kind of reminds me of Dota and how the hero is 100x more powerful then the creeps.

    You are wrong sir. Very Wrong.

    Wizard can also wield swords, just look at their conjuration spell tree. They are actually allowing a melee/battle mage build. Melee damage will increase spell damage (i'm going this build if its still there at release).

    Also... look at the picture that everyone is assuming is the female monk. Thats definately the wizard wielding an empowered sword.

    No. Druid will not be returning. Why the hell does everyone assume that blizzard will bring back the druid. He was a freaking expansion character...

    It will NOT be the druid. Why the hell does everyone keep assuming that blizzard will bring back the druid... or at least give the 5th character shapeshifting.

    THE DRUID WAS AN EXPANSION CHARACTER. Plain and simple, he was not necessary to the base game in any form. He is not necessary to the expansion either, but blizzard decided to add him and the assassin to allow us more replayability.

    He has nothing that is necessary to make the game complete, and will NOT be part of the release. Only a ranged character will make it, and druids do not belong carrying bows. Blizzard wants to make D3 very D&D and name one game where druids were archers. Druids have always been staff wielders....

    I really don't agree with any of you guys' theories on blizzards class choices.

    Think about Diablo 1, they made an awesome game with only 3 characters - Warrior, Mage and Rogue(Ranged).

    Barbarian fills the Warrior role, he doesn't need masteries anymore because he is basically the beefy warrior role of all RPGs/ Hack and slashes.

    He has shield mastery, dual wield, and i once saw a two handed mastery (not sure if its not going to be in the release).

    Why do we need any other warrior class... the barbarian can probably pick any weapon he wants and make a build with it. Dual maces - Done. Dual axes - Done. Sword and shield - Done. Etc....

    I am 95% sure that some form of bow build will be implemented into the game... However, I wouldn't be surprised if blizzard actually changed one of the barbarian builds and gave them some bow abilities. (Think Mongols)

    We have the heavy melee , the light melee, the heavy dps magic, and the mixed magic... leaving only a ranged class.

    Stop thinking in terms of D1 or D2 classes... think in line with RPG archetypes...

    i'm getting so sick of people assuming that blizzard HAS to bring the druid or the amazon back.

    First of all, the druid was an expansion character... they weren't planning to be part of the game until the blizzard dev team was tasked with making 2 new classes. Druid is NOT necessary ... and never was.

    Second, the amazon was a retarded class if you ask me. i never really understood why the heck they could attache elemental attributes to bows and javs...

    I do agree that they will probably add some sort of class that has at least 1 bow build... but i hope to god that it is not the amazon, nor the hunter from WoW.

    Hunters were always my least favorite WoW class, as they were totally overpowered. They were able to solo FAR to easy... and they were damn near impossible to PK, except in mass fights with a rogue ambushing them.

    posted a message on Fansite Press Conference for Diablo 3 and WoW (Saturday)
    How come everyone complaining about the lack of TPs doesn't realize that blizzard is implementing a checkpoint system now. When you die, you don't have to walk (or waypoint 90% of the way) back.

    If blizzard keeps their tetris style inventory as currently is, we can hold probably 3x the gear (armor is only 2 instead of 6 slots), and if they revert to the WoW style again, we can hold alot more as well.

    I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they add more NPC shops in dungeons/ along the roads.

    Seriously..... Now i'm even more mad. WoW has completely and utterly RAPED the lore of the Warcraft World.... I have no idea how Warcraft 4 is going to recover from this....

    Pretty sure it'll be 0%.

    Blizzard likes to use the demo as a way to draw fans to conventions (especially to their booth).

    This is half the reason people forked over $100 a ticket for blizzcon was to go play diablo 3 and Sc2....

    I think this is going to make me boycott Blizzard. I cannot f**king stand how they keep putting aside more important projects (sc2 and d3) for WoW.... and i don't care if it is their money maker.... WoW is going to die off and blizz needs to adhere to the needs of us d3 and sc3 fanboys....
