Dude GoodGuy,

The only reason making an animation is a bad idea is because it slows the gameplay down. D1/D2 didnt have it. D3 shouldnt have it either.

exp u drink a potion ur char actually grabs potion from belt and drinks it on screen

This would never be in Diablo 3. If that were the case, you could never power down potions and continue attacking at the same time. You would have to wait for the Animation to end, before you started to attack again. That is very Un-Diablo-like.

Titan's quest did this, and it slowed down the Gameplay so much.

The only way I could see this happening is if you were in town, and that were the only place it would play the animation. So if you took a potion in a hostile enviorment i.e. Blood Moor, it wouldnt play the Animation.

This is highly unlikely. They wouldnt spend time making the animation just so it could be seen in town and not where else. Especially when there is a healer in town i.e. Akara and there is no need to use a potion at all.

We all know that the converting D2 chars to D3 chars is bogus, and i have a hard time thinking of interesting spell ideas for the Chronomancer, (Blizzard wouldnt make an interesting char like the Chronomancer and make his spells like Time beam [a beam of time that hurts enemies]) I could see Chronomancer in a single player game, where you could technically go backwards in time ingame, but multiplayer games, this would be impossible.

And starting off in Harogath seems kind of like a weak beginning to such a prestigious title.

All of this leads me to believe that General_Ryan and/or his accomplices could be just tooting their own horn.

Diablo III is a prequel to Diablo 1.

I think there is a bit confusion.

D2 existing chars will not be transferrable to D3.

I think what that meant was, the classes will transfer over.

Rumored Class list for D3
-----------------------
Warrior
Sorcerer
Rouge
Monk
Amazon
Barbarian
Paladin
Sorceress
Necromancer
Assassin
Druid
Chronomancer
Demontamer//Beastmaster
Templar
Warlock
Fighter

It is silly to think you can convert a D2 char into D3. However, if D2 classes are available in D3, it is possible to recreate your char from D2. Just level up your char allocated the skills and stats just like you had in D2.

A screenshot being leaked will not do anything. I can get into the whole idea where companies purposley leak information (or false information) to generate hype. For all we know, General Ryan works for blizz and is apart of the leak team, following the leak schedule.

If you think about it, if the first thing about Diablo 3 is a screenshot, it is hype genius for blizzard.

Blizzard releases a screenshot, and for months that is all that is know about D3. That screenshot would become one of the most anaylized screenie, making so famous... making D3 famous.

The hype machine... Got to love it.

Cant wait to see how this turns out.

I know the feeling.

If you guys are dying, maybe watching the Zelda Movie Trailer would help pass the time?

I know if the WoW movie is a sucess, there will be Starcraft and Diablo films.

Either way, the information that was givin is 100% interesting. If it wasnt, I guarantee that the Lords would of said it is a fraud.

I believe that they are hesitating to release the info, or they are trying to figure out if it is legit. Either way, like I said, it is 100% interesting.

I know a person who worked on Starcraft//Brood War. She is a game designer. After E3 2005, she met up with some of her old blizz friends, and they told her that her new game reminded them of D3.

This is her game:

I understand where you are coming from. No one likes Newbies who flood the forums, and hack d2 and shit.

I can tell you this.

I know for certain D3 was finished, but was re-evaluated. That was part of the reason why Blizz North moved to Blizz south.

I am really anxious to see D3 (since D2 is my fav game).

Hey dude, I look at these forums all the time. D2 is my fav game. I just joined now. It doesnt mean I do not deserve to know.

pm me with info please when you get it!
