Hopefully this time it won't have a timer on your characters. I know 90 days is a long time to not play, but I've had several characters die from that fate.

Calling it for Monk/Demon Hunter. Monk because it deserves it DH because people are retardedly attracted to Hunter characters.Raide said:
Yeah, why did they even do this in the first place?RPGCrazied said:

I can see them charging for extra slots, name changes, fluffy "WoW style" companions and pre-made characters.

One of the well publicized "features" of B.Net 2.0 is the fact that your characters _won't_ disappear, thankfully. I'd provide a source but anything gaming is blocked at work (except GAF, I don't know either).
Corkys daily struggle against descending into d3 related withdrawal:
Please dear God/Jebus/Blizzard, have tons of cinematics, my dream would be SC2 levels of inengine cutscenes combined with Blizzard Master Class CG (TM).
Like THIS please :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6squ47FqK8k&feature=player_detailpage#t=8s
And for the sake of everything that is holy please don't let the ingame cutscenes remain like THIS : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uT2mrL8F0w&feature=player_detailpage#t=81s
I'd have to gouge my eyes out and rely on the audio cues...

That's waaaay more than enough for me. But still, did you see the SC2 "ingame" cutscenes? They are ridiculously good in terms of visual fidelity, sure it's not blizz cgi but something tells me they also cost a fraction of that. Heck did WoW games even get more than tops ONE cgi trailer?

One per expansion. The rest with ingame cutscenes and machinima.Corky said:
Atually, they've already promised they won't delete characters, ever.Number45 said:99p/month for permanent character slots, I'm calling it.
Which is honestly believable, because the D2 automated deletion thing they used to do no longer functions from what I've seen. I've actually been able to log into and play expired characters.

I hope there are CG's like Diablo II. Those were cool. I'm expecting this to have more ingame cutscenes. We'd be lucky to get an intro and ending CG.

I can't think of a single Blizzard title, past or present, that has not had CG Cutscenes...
Even the WoW Expansions seem to have CG Cutscenes. I think at the very least you are looking at an intro and ending CG.
If it is anything like Diablo 2 though, we will get Cut scenes for each new Act but that may be pushing it.

That's the Monk's "Wave of Light" active skill.
Wave of Light
Requires Level: 29
The Monk summons a rolling wave of holy fire that scorches everything in its path, dealing Holy damage.

Anyone see this from yesterday?
Diablo 3 Beta Lottery: Only SC2 and WoW Players?
Really sucks if true, I have 5 Blizzard "Legacy" games on my battle.net account but no WOW or SC2.

They'll totally do Act cinematics, no possible reason why they wouldn't when they've kept the Act styled parts in the first place.
I bet bosses and some unique mobs will have the potential to drop a higher number of quality items at one time so they will still be relevant in mf runs just because you know that you might get 1 legendary, 1 rare and 2 magic items per kill or something to that effect. I am not a fan of the repetition of boss runs for magic find or building a character just for being as fast at killing certain bosses as posible. I just want to kill stuff, level, and find good gear along the way in an artistically beautiful and interesting world. Looks like D3 is going to deliver.
Diablo has always been about killing as much as possible and pushing that little XP bar up, up, up while finding awesome gear along the way. There are many games that you can do this in but the Diablo series has always been the most polished and fun IMO. I also totally dig the lore and tone of Diablo.
I always start out with a Barb/Melee character because it is satisfying to pummel everything into submission and they can wear the heaviest gear and swing the biggest weapons of destruction. Barb looks fun as hell in D3 so there is about a 98% chance it will be my first.
There is going to be more than enough customization too and it is going to be great that there is no barrier to trying out different skills other than reaching the level necessary for said skill. Add in the runes that modify each skill and it is going to be so much fun to try so many different builds and not worry about creating a gimped piece of shit character that can't survive in nightmare/hell/inferno.
I couldn't resist the urge to look up a build online before starting a new character because of it. Now i can do this all on my own.

if you don't plan to play on battle.net, the existing hi-res patch works a treat. You just need a particular patch number (and there are resources to roll back if you need to) and you can pick pretty much any res your screen can support. Works beautifully on my PC

I contacted an old friend through facebook that I haven't seen in 9-10 years to see if he still had my copy of Diablo 2 that I lent him! We both had Mac G4s and were in graphic design classes together. He actually contacted me weeks later with the CD key! Said it took him awhile to find it! Too bad I already broke down and bought another copy!

Force reckons the closed beta will be this week, so here's hoping. I honestly don't see the the point in having the F&F any longer than it already is. They want performance testing done, and giving press access will shoot hype into the stratosphere.
