i just don't like to see things repeated. taking a skill or two and redoing it is one thing, but an entire character is another.

an anti-paladin. dark knight esque class.

some sort of rogue dexterity monkey(daggers/bows)

i guess the generic spellcaster is unavoidable. however, i do really like what i have seen from the wizard.

maybe some entirely new type of character, like a Tinker class that would be a less dark necro/spellcasting. ie, creates **** out of nothing, scrap metal etc.

i have a tremendous amount of faith in blizzard. i think whatever they decide to do is going to be great. especially after what they said about PvP. they're not sure what to do with it yet, but they're taking their time and going to make it badass.

Pretty much. Plus maybe then they'd release it sooner.

Played it this week. Best part of this game: Individual drops from mobs. No more rushing to be the first one to loot the items. Worst part: It's still point-click-kill-loot-yawn. Just shinier this time. Multiplayer was just a huge cluster**** with **** just exploding everywhere with very little strategy. Still a long way off though. I'm sure it will sell a ton like every Blizzard game.

#1 - Sik life.

#2- Wat? That's the good stuff. Spray and pray. Explosions. Guts. Flashy things. Massive exp.

This sounds exactly like all the good stuff from d2 without the bad stuff?

One thing I hope, though, is that they make the hotbar keybinds customizable. After playing with 40 wow keybinds I don't think I can go back to 1,2,3,4 and 2 mouse buttons...

well in d2 you could set F1-F8 for spells, but that's about as far as keybinds went.

while f1-f8 were the defaults, I'm almost positive you could rebind your spell hotkeys to something else.

Yeah, I always rebount A-G and Z-B for skills.

A monk of the type they had in Everquest would be fun to play. They had the "feign death" ability that would let you pull singles out of a cluster of monsters, if you timed it right, and drag it back to your group by gaining or losing aggro when you stood up versus when you fell down and "feigned death" to lose aggro. It was pretty fun and tricky sometimes, and made the monk an extremely useful member to the group.

Pretty much me too.

I am having an awful lot of fun with Sacred now, and that will tide me over well until D3 comes along. I'll buy D3 just to see what it's like, but I can see playing D3 for multiplayer and Sacred for single player.

If that's what you're looking for, D3 is going to be your Mecca.

Not that I'm againsted it or looking down on it or anything but how do people play single player?

These games are fun because often times you're playing with a friend and slaying the evil hordes of enemies that are trying to take over the world post-apocalyto and together is very enjoyable.

I tried single player a couple times on D2 and I just couldn't get past the first act.

diablo is one of the best single player games ever. what i dont understand is how people play this game for years at a time. once u beat the game it gets repetitive and theres pretty much nothing to do at the end of the game other than kill baal a million times. just a few cheap good items is good enough to make ur character very hard to kill.

I hope they put in more stuff to do at the end of the game and make it less of a linear single player type game. If multiplayer is as bad as d2 then it will be pretty dissapointing. I could never play d2 for more than the few weeks that it took to get my char up to a high lvl then everything just got pointless and boring.

ya multi player is what makes this game. i just hope its harder than d2 like hell should be hell to get through imo, u could beat d2 with naked chars ><

Well, personally I have an urge to become the best. Although this is impossible in these games (where some people just have too much time / money to buy them), I like to get a good enough character for PVE to be able to pretty much handle everything.

Fwiw, I couldn't do torch runs with which ever character I made. (Except hammerdins. One too many imo). I could get from keys to parts but I just couldn't do it. Don't know why.

But after that, I turn to PVP and just want to start pwning people up. You obviously don't want to **** you the character you spent so long working on up so you have to start from scratch in terms of items. Takes a while to get perfect/near-perfect gear.
