Official Diablo 3 Thread - Its Finally Here!

[OKlondon]

Lol sorry mate cant believe I missed that, just saw and got over exicited.

[Paul1967]

Its not primarily an online game, but a major experience of the game is online, ladder games and also co-op.

Cheers.

And is it a one off payment for the game or do you have to pay extra to pay online?

Sorry for the noobish questions

The first 2 were free online, although i got a feeling that blizzard will want to cash in on more then just the copies sold this time.

[Mecha_Daddy]

If they do make us pay for the online network hopefully it won't be much. I have some doubts (maybe wishful thinking) that they will not charge.

The game looks abso-smurfly awesome so far. I may have to dig out my copy of Diablo II LoD and play a bit. That game was so much fun....

I hated having to keep stopping to re-arrange your inventory. It seems they've done everything to make the fighting constant, all good I say.

I have a couple questions.

No problem cheers for the +rep the game should be a one off payment and online will be free, 95% sure of this considering battle.net was always free.

The game will be released on Mac aswell, simultaneous with the pc version.

The game can be played online, its not exactly like WoW but many of the features in WoW come from Diablo and will be used in Diablo 3, if you play WoW you should feel at home with Diablo.

Few updates:

Archangel Tyrael is the WWI In-Game Mini Pet!

2nd Jul 2008

If you were lucky enough to go to the WWI, you would have gotten a scratch card in your goody bag which entitles you to an in-game mini pet. Until now, we didn't know what the mini pet would be; unlike the token given away at BlizzCon last year, which clearly indicated the redeemer would receive a Murloc Costume, this one was a mystery.

Bornakk has just announced what the mystery pet is, and I bet all Hell is going to break loose when the demand for these cards goes through the roof...

Blizzard Quote: (Source)
The code for the in-game World of Warcraft pet that was provided in the goodie bag at the 2008 Worldwide Invitational will be usable at our Pet Redemption Webpage (http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/misc/promotion.html) after patch 2.4.3 is released in the near future.

After you have received the in-game code from this webpage, the Alliance will travel to Stormwind and the Horde to Undercity to visit a new NPC where you will be able to claim the in-game pet.

The pet itself will be a miniature version of the Archangel Tyrael of Diablo 2 fame who will travel with you on all your grand adventures in Azeroth! Pictures of this amazing new pet will be available on the official website soon for everybody to check out.

Denizens of Diablo WWI Panel

http://www.diii.net/articles/669085/...ablo-wwi-panel

Pretty much the info we know but in a new video.

Some new info so far the damage effects are:

Fire, cold, lightning, poison and a new one arcane.

No decision on respecing skills kind of like in Titan Quest, but they said respecing is awsome.

No item customisation but they are going to make more diverse system.

Secret cow level still being kept a secret.

The seocnd article is quite interesting, the PKing was annoying in diablo 2 HC, but it gave quite an adrenalin rush since if you died in HC your character was dead and you would have to remake it, so life after level 80 was quite a roller coaster ride.

I just thought dying was a huge pain in the butt, went through alot of mice.

[renegadevikingPS3]

I'll act as a inturrupter.

Will there be any other familiar faces in Diablo III (other than Deckard Cain)?

Classes

Barbrian (or Barbriness complete with Tarzan's wife ware with a Bikini-mail) *
Sorcerer (or Sorceress complete with bikinimail)
Necromancer (or Necromancess complete with bikinimail)
Paladin (or Paladin with breast vents like in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers the Movie)
Rogue (complete with Amazon underware in case you have a problem with Diablo I)
Defected X-files/Roswell Alien (uses high technology (phasers and plazma weapons in place of old school weapons and swords)

Can you give an overview of Diablo III's storyline?

You will be fighting a cloned diablo, Baal and Mesh (from DNA samples) via Mad Alien.

as well as a number of characters from the previous games.

All of them.....

Will players be visiting any familiar locations in Diablo III, such as Tristram?

All of them. It's a 3D remake of Diablo 2 with some Diablo 1 locations around Tristram.

How many character classes are included in Diablo III? What are they?

All that Diablo 2 + LOD had + Witch Doctor + the alien from Zeta Recurrei

Will Diablo III be playable over Battle.net? What new features can we expect?

Roger Wilco was the main VoIP application complete with Speex codec and interfaced instant messenger GUI instead of command line one. We have so much money from WoW and our parent company is the largest videogame developer so we can afford to bring it to you free!

What engine is Diablo III running on? What graphical enhancements are included?

Whatever is normal for the latest and greatest DirectX 9.0c games like WoW.

When will Diablo III be released?

Exactly 9 yrs after Diablo 2 came out.

How much will Diablo III cost?

$50 USD

What are the system requirements for Diablo III?

* Windows 2000, Windows Vista or Windows XP
* Intel Pentium III or AMD Athlon 800 MHz
* 512 MB or more of RAM
* 64 MB 3D video card with Hardware T&L or better
* 6.0 GB free HD space
* 4× CD-ROM drive
* 56 kbit/s or faster Internet connection

Great thread. I'll be following this thread from now on. Any words on other new character classes? I hope some form of Amazon will be in Diablo 3. I used to dominate with my 'Zon. Haha.

[BioXhazXarD]

Man... I really hope one of the 3 classes left is an Assassin! So excited, Starcraft II and Diablo III are coming!!!

No news yet, but i'm quite sure a bow user/assassin type, pure caster (sorc/mage) and a hybrid melee class will be the last 3,a few more thread updates btw:
