In the grand scheme of things I care little for SC. I would prefer they focused on D3. I think both will be great games I am just a Diablo nut. Also the quote might be an exaggeration of the truth. Say there are 10 people working on SC and 100 on D3, the quote could fit. I don't know but I hope both games come out as fast as possible while still being awesome. It was said in some interview that they will release Battle.net 2.0 with SC2 so chances are it would SC would come out before D3.
Ya im the opposite... Im a SC fool and I dont care too much for Diablo in fact I just bought it the other day. But Im not as addicted as I am to SC but from what I see D3 is goin to be sweet.
Best I can tell THIS is the small update. Pretty worthless but something new I guess. This thread has information about blood and the timers and major boring shit
Summary of All Known Diablo III Facts in One Place We have received two big updates in DiabloWiki, one for the Diablo 2 wiki, and one for the Diablo 3 / general wiki. There is a fancy new Uber Diablo featured article, so if you missed out on all the new content in the Patch 1.10 release back in the days, you can read up on more of these rare parts of the Diablo II endgame, as well as be a part of it(if you are very lucky)! If you are a new or returning Diablo fan, you should start to update your knowledge about Diablo III by reading through the Diablo 3 Basics article, which is the main Diablo III Fact Sheet and located in the Diablo 3 wiki. It provides all the known information about the upcoming Diablo sequel with a brief explanation and links to read more in-depth information. If you wanted to know more about classes, item drops, release date, system requirements or any other topic, you have all information available in a short and explanatory summary. On the same page, you should feel free to pitch in and help the community by updating the "fact sheet" with information released in interviews or blue posts (you can find material in the Media Coverage section), or perhaps add new pages where missing. You can get further assistance in the Help sections of the wikis, or you can contact Leord for guidance. PS. http://www.diablowiki.net/Diablo 3 Basics]The fact sheet is really awesome, you should check it out, regardless. and if you don't agree on that statement, there is nothing holding you back from MAKING it awesome!

I read that, and I didn't think it was good enough to tell people yet. I mean there all the information needed is in these 47 threads.
I think Bashiok was referring to this... http://www.blizzard.com/diablo3/world/bestiary/dunethresher.xml
Hmm you are right. When I checked those updates where not there. 09-18-2008 Bestiary Update: Dune Thresher (as mentioned above) We've also expanded the media galleries with four new pieces of artwork and four new screenshots. "
how can you not like Diablo, killing zombies by clicking them is fucking classic never gets old. im sure we have all beaten it multiple times on multiple char and you think your done with it then one day you wake up and say to yourself "i wanna fucking kill some damn zombies!!" and back your back into Diablo when i was like 8 when the first diablo came out i almost shat my pants with the butcher was so scary
Yeah no kidding, D1 was hard as fuck solo no matter how you slice it. 8square directional projectile gameplay with multiple enemies closing in and forcing a flank? Also not getting your gear back unless you physically make a corpse run that game?
my avoidance for playing D2 again was i gave my CDs away since it took me over last time(but that will never stop me from playing D1 and having some fun also with hellfire) though i cant wait till three comes out its looking to be awsome
Max Level is probably going to be 99 or 100 Source Not that it maters I think the highest I ever had in D2 was 89-91 range.
Today's Update: "Bestiary Update: Scavenger 10-02-2008" The Diablo 3 Bestiary now features a new creature from the realm of Sanctuary: the ferocious scavenger. I had indeed seen scavengers: small, burrowing creatures that feed upon carrion. Unlike most animals of this type, however, they are extremely aggressive and will not hesitate to attack those unfortunate enough to encounter them. Scavengers have powerful legs which they use for swift springing attacks, striking at vulnerable faces and throats. Check out the scavenger entry now! We've also expanded the media galleries with four new pieces of artwork and seven new screenshots." 7 New shots! Source
"The new character has been revealed and, as somewhat expected, it’s a mage. A wizard, to be exact. There are a bunch of screenshots and a new gameplay movie featuring the new character. Updates to come very soon, we’re in the press room working away right now. Here’s the press release blurb. " source Char Selection Screen The best information I have found so far and the site with more screens: http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/55245 Wizard Spells: - Charged Bolt (magic missile style not like D2) - Fire Ball - Frost Nova - Tornado - Electrocute - Teleport - Slow Time (I'm guessing like D2 Zon's Slow Missles) - Mana Recovery (I'm Guessing Warmth) - Disintegrate - Meteor - Hyrda
OK, some other related stuff: http://www.diii.net/blog/comments/exclusive-jay-wilson-interview/ http://www.diablofans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15298 Somewhat mixed feelings on the enforced attributes - but I do have to admit that you generally had no choice when building characters anyway - you went with what the build required. I'm not sure how this is going to affect those; builds come down to skills and items now, which is ... arguably still most of the important stuff from Diablo 2, I suppose. We shall see. The four player restriction is a different story again. I rarely played in games that were even that large, but there have been many complaints from the PvP side. Then again, there's a good chance PvP games will be handled differently anyway - since you're often talking about human players only, no monsters, there are obviously going to be fewer lag issues.
There is a good write up and some good videos at the following: http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/diablo-iii/918894p1.html The videos on Page 1 and 2 are new, the 3rd page video looked like the old Barb one.
