(fixed it. I forgot it was diii.net)<BR/><BR/>I wasn't necessarily flaming at you. You made outstanding points. I was more so disappointed and thinking 'Wow, this guy really did his homework. But... oh man, he had to ruin it for me by comparing it to WoW... Just like everyone else.'<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comment :-)Aticushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13768690688112859598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518422681011724379.post-30690678798926945832008-07-15T17:00:00.000-04:002008-07-15T17:00:00.000-04:00Hiya, thanks for reading my post.

I mean, a lot of other games (especially MMOs) have similar things like cooldowns. It just makes sense to mention WoW because it's the MMORPG that Blizzard gamers are most likely to know. I could have just as easily said Dark Age of Camelot or Age of Conan, but not everyone would understand it. d:<BR/><BR/>You might also want to check out <A HREF="http://www.battle.net/forums/thread.aspx?fn=d3-general&t=41374&p=1&#post41374" REL="nofollow">the original Battle.net thread</A> as the discussion there is much longer and varied than the one at diii.net.<BR/><BR/>Moreover, if you look at my <A HREF="http://forums.diii.net/member.php?u=159527" REL="nofollow">Diablo III.net forum profile</A>, you will notice that I am not a "new name". I have been on those forums for two years, and I have been playing Diablo II for longer than that.<BR/><BR/>A lot of people are doing the whole "D3 looks like WoW!!!" thing, including myself to be honest. I will admit I'm not comfortable that they are taking this in the right direction, especially in light of <A HREF="http://www.mikehuang.com/blog/2008/06/diablo-iii-announced.html" REL="nofollow">Michael Huang's Blog Post</A>. Mr. Huang worked for Blizzard North before they went off to other companies. One of his most interesting statements:<BR/><BR/>" One of the design choices which again shows Blizzard Irvine's hand in the changes made is the re-appearance of the Barbarian character class -- the original design documents for Diablo III included a set of all new character classes, with no reappearance of old character classes (our reasons for this was simple -- since we were enhancing and improving the skill system, we didn't want to try and adapt old skills into a new system -- we'd rather create all new skills for the new character classes. The return of the Barbarian class feels like a change that was made after development of the title was moved to Irvine 3 years ago. "<BR/><BR/>So it seems like Diablo III WAS going in a fresh and new direction, until Blizzard Irvine got into it. I'm a hardcore fan of Diablo II and I'm worried - it's as simple as that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518422681011724379.post-85651486260301740752008-07-04T18:15:00.000-04:002008-07-04T18:15:00.000-04:00They haven't released a date yet.
