Boo. I got to play my DH, BR, and WD all to the leorics crown and now I have to go to work

I think a barb, barb, barb and barb will be my first group.

So I was playing around with the skill calculator and decided to make a bad witch doctor. I made myself take at least on skill from each type. I also made sure I was making a bad character not a dumb one (such as taking scarifice dogs with no dogs). I ended up with a WD with a lot of crowd control and virtually no damage.

I started playing with other chars skill calc and created more bad characters. Then something weird happened. I actually started looking forward to trying this combinations that I think are terrible and seeing how they will work. I have already decided that if I hit a wall I will replace my best skill with the skill next up on the board (that way I am still using some of the worst skills by my perception).

Now I will probably get one of each of my chars to level 60 before I try this but what do you guys think? I'm a crazy, a masochist, insane?

I loved the art (it is soooooo beautiful). I did feel like I was reading the abridged version of the real book. I cannot really recommend the book but it certainly isn't bad. If someone is new to the diablo universe it is a good way to get someone caught up in the lore before diablo III comes out.

Did we fight Lilith in the pandemonium event or was that purely a game event and didn't really happen lore wise?

I must say my fondest memory of Diablo was opening the door to his chambers and getting quickly slaughtered. It was awesome.

I agree, there was nothing wrong with the original diablo. The new one is a mess, and looks like he belongs in an alien movie (or maybe a predator movie) and not in a diablo game. I wish there was a blizzcon this year because I would love to ask them at the diablo Q&A why they have change him so much (If I could have got in line early enough that is). Can I hope that the last picture isn't diablo but a new Zerg in SC2: Hearts Swarm?

I am almost certain they will. I bet you after a couple of months special dyes and banners will be available from the blizzard store. I think if they ever add back in pets you will be able to buy transformations (such as the squirrel transformed into zergling).

Have they learned anything? Umm no, see I know they didn't because they did almost the exact some thing for D2. Granted it was only like 3 years instead of four but yeah. Granted Bill Roper was heading things up and not Jay Wilson but I don't see things changing in the future.

Quote from saga30

The main thing that bums me about this is I can't look forward obtaining a "Rune" from a drop. I love the hunt for hard to get items based on drops as opposed to unlocking at a particular level. Also not having the level system of Runes seems lackluster. I do agree with Blizzard's system of "Easy to learn, Diffcult to Master" but, I am left wondering what left will be diffcult to master? I harder skill level?

I think we have a difference on how we play because I couldn't disagree more. I don't mind grinding to get better gear, but I do not like grinding for one specific item. If I am doing runs to gear up my char, the drops are random so as long as it is an upgrade for my char I don't care.

With runes they either had to have few drops since your only really need on per spell (less because your probably aren't using all your spells). This has a problem in that if you have a level 2 crimson and you're currently picking up level 5 runes. So you are grinding not for a level 5 rune, a level 5 crimson rune. Since they have low drops you could grind for a long time to get the one rune you really need. The other end is have them drop like crazy. If they did that they should have just done what they did since they are freely available and all they are doing is wasting a loot drop.

Yes walking into the butchers room and hearing "Ahh fresh meat" and then being brutally murder was just plain awesome. I assume I had similar experience to most. You clear at the first level of the cathedral no problem, clear out most of the second level and start to think that maybe this was going to be an easy game. Any thoughts of the game being easy disappeared after being slaughtered by the butcher.

I am going to say me second too (since I saw quite a few people say the butcher also), which was reading the manual. It had the story of the three brothers and their exile into sanctuary. It told of imprisoning the three, and Tal Rasha's sacrifice. In fact, more games need to get back to this. Instead of making me watch 10 mins of cut-scenes to set up and explain what is happening just but the lore in the manual so when I am ready to play I can just start playing.

I assume this is going to be like WoW, in which you just need to activate a cd-key for each account. So if you want two Diablo III accounts you just need to log-in to your account and but in both activation keys. You would not need to uninstall as the instillation has no bareing on the account. This is how it works for having multiple WoW accounts anyway.

"if Diablo, Mephisto and Baal were in a room... and their was 3 Apples... how many would each get?
Diablo would get all three. One for each mouth." ~Bashiok during diablo 3 QA

Did I miss something? When did diablo get three heads?
