What monsters we should see in Diablo3 ?

Do you remember the Stygian Dolls from D2 ? Yes, the instant kills you took from them. Oh how we loved them in hardcore, i lost 3 hardcore characters to those dolls :) There are fans that don’t want them in D3… Why?
I personally want to see them all this is was the best part of the Diablo games, that fear that a crappy monster can kill you in one shot (maybe 2). Some fans are being just plain boring by asking that the major monsters (the most dangerous in D2) should not be brought back… but what do you want ? an easy to beat game ? I don’t !

Bring back the dolls, the bloodlords and succubus, the hell spawners and Oblivion Knights (D1), the Souls that killed you in a wall of lightning, Bring them all
Diablo3 must be difficult and it must be huge to please all fans. We have to play it and play it hard in order to win, the Diablo games must be a challenge and Blizzard knows this.
So what if you get killed in 2-3 shots by an exploding doll or by a gang of Souls. You get to play the game again :)
Each D3 monster should be a challenge.

I don’t like it when people complain for no reason, all monsters in D2 were cool and hard and in D3 they should be the same.

11 years of Diablo

Diablo 1 was released on January 2, 1997. 11 years have passed since my first encounter with the darkness and 11 years since i fell in love with a video game.
People ask me, why was Diablo such a monster of a game ?

And my reply always is : Diablo still is a monster of a game, a monster that spread all over the world gathering millions of dedicated fans. it rulled our lives for 11 years and now it comes back stronger and angrier. It was an adictive game, fast and insane with a million possibilities. It made the gamer think, plan and act in a unique way. Words can’t say enough about this game (I and II)

Of course we say monster in a good way :)

Since it was relleased on the market it ruled the charts, Blizzard has broken some records with this game and made a few bucks in the process (well a lot)

Are we ready for a new Diablo era ?

The III is here, let us prepare

The new Diablo should not be like WoW!

Diablo III should not be the next World of Warcraft. I mean in terms of gameplay and feeling. There is WoW for this, the new diablo game should not feel like it at all. I, as a fan i would be dissapointed to see this happen, and i fear it will… I don’t want it to resemble the warcraft online game at all.

Some may look at the gameplay video or the in-game screenshots and think: This looks like WoW… Actually it doesn’t and it is a good thing.

The Diablo games have always been dark and creepy full of blood and dark magic.

Ok, so diablo3 will not look like the World :) what about the gameplay?

D3 should follow the D legacy, the same battle system and economy. Some say it was flawed but boy did the game rock! This game was meant to be insane, fast and addictive, a game for men not boys. Some say that the skill was taken out of the gameplay and any n00b could get big on the BattleNET. That was so false we all laughed. Indeed the economy was flawed, money had no value and the market was full of uber gear but so what?

Millions of people played this game every day, it was too much fun. All those flaws have made Diablo 2 the greatest game of all times (in my opinion).

For D3, we want the same thing, of course get rid of the flaws, make the economy stronger, make the overall game more balanced but keep the insanity ! Keep the fast gameplay and high number of clicks, keep the uber gear and runes – keep the diablo spirit alive

Diablo3 should not be like World of Warcraft, it should be unique and insane

What about the blood?

In Diablo2 I loved the feeling of chaos. After a long battle i would stop and look around, there was a river of blood and a mountain of corpses. People loved that it was a feeling like you was actually doing something, not just smashing some pixels on the screen

Well in the Diablo3 gameplay video we can see that the blood is fading rather fast leaving no trace. I would hate to see an “empty” and clean map after 10 minutes of smashing heads … Blizzard please don’t ruin that feeling.

We, the fans want to see the bodies and the blood on the ground a long period of time. We know from the blizzcast that they are working on a solution for keeping the blood on the ground more. We know it will use more computer resources but it is worth it.
We like to see the signs of disaster, mayhem and death. This should be the purpose of D3 just like in D1 and D2.

At least leave a trace that a body was there …

Diablo III community

There are so few Diablo3 sites out there, specially forums
Well i discovered a nice forum today : d3gaming.com. It is nice and i can already tell it will be huge soon in terms of D3 fans

We need to stay close together, we need to be united untill the game is released so we can smash our heads in PvP on BattleNET :) ) just kidding
I love a new forum, i love places where Game communities can evolve.

Almost all the Blizzard games turned out great because of the fans and the fan feedback. We stated our opinions and our demands, and the Blizzard developers filtered all the rubbish out and kept all the golden ideas. Everybody wins!

Long live the Diablo Nation

What class will I play in Diablo3 ?

What character class is the best to start Diablo 3 for the first time?
Well as you all know only 2 characters have been announced. The Barbarian and the Witch Doctor.

Also we know that they have to release more characters: a sorcerer like class (something with magic powers) a ranged like class (bows and arrows) and maybe some kind of assassin class character.

Well what class should i run after the game is released ?
I can say for sure that a tank character. Why ?

Because i consider that the tank class is the best way to explore the game, the best way to play a Diablo type game.
In D3 i will want to see and test everything, to “personally” kill every monster in the game and test every weapon and armor. For this i consider that the Barbarian will be the best character to start DIII for the first time.

This is just an idea, we have to wait for Blizzard to announce the other playable classes.
