    When did you get those powers? Kyoji with mod powers makes me think it's gone to far. This is bad.


    Screw pvp in Diablo. Stick to your pvp games. There will be pvp but if you are coming to Diablo hoping to pvp only you should go back to Darkfail. The PvP in Diablo 1 consisted of ganking people. The PvP in D2 consists of duals of a small percent of legit players, but is mostly assholes and TPPKers. Diablo will always be a PvM game. There are no healers Diablo. I hope they don't ruin the game catering to people who want hardcode pvp.

    blizzard needs to figure out how to incorporate pvp in their games or it will be only a matter of time before someone figures out the magic recipe to send them tumbling

    You are wrong. People are still playing Diablo 2. They don't NEED to do anything. 9 years later people still play their game. This is not WOW this is not Darkfall. There does not need to be a strong PvP aspect.

    I'm done debating in this thread. If you have something useful to add then please contribute, otherwise gtfo.

    PvP has been in Diablo, its not new. Whether or not they ruin the game by adding more PvP I don't know, I never played Diablo. I don't expect them to add anything further to the PvP elements of the game, but last I checked people were free to discuss what they like and don't like about the game. Just because people wish for a Diablo with more emphasis on PvP doesn't mean it has to be "hardcore".

    Either way please do not whine about it in threads. Antagonizing wont get you anywhere.

    pvp in the prev diablo games were fine, and like just stated there are no healers so any more pvp and they would have to redo the basis of the game thus not making it diablo.

    what are you all planning to play? me ill be the witch doctor =D go go shaman look alike

    They probably won't be recycling nearly that many classes from Diablo 2.

    Also, Diablo 3 is quite capable of having decent PvP, but it's going to be a small-scale affair - probably no more than 8 players per instance. Duelling, small team fights and small FFAs is basically what would be on offer, and while I hope it will be compelling and well-designed enough for me to feel like playing it for once, it isn't going to be anything at all like the "hardcore" PvP games of old. I think it's something I would be more comfortable with as well, though the danger is it is likely to rely heavily on gear, which would kill it.

    So this "innovative overhaul" of the skill tree is basically the three trees in one screen and you can pick whatever you want in order to progress further.

    Ya they really outdone themselves, this sure sounds innovative. /sarcasm

    But no seriously, I am not sure I like this idea... the number of cookie cutter build will be fairly limited that way.

    so basically it's a modified version of the WoW talent tree.

    Works for me.

    Bestiary Update: The Fallen Ones
    05-22-2009"

    The Diablo 3 Bestiary now features not one, not two, but five new creatures from the realm of Sanctuary: the Fallen Ones.

    The fallen ones are a unique breed of true demonic origin, one of the few that I've been able to conclusively verify through sources other than the ancient Vizjerei tomes in my possession. (How I came by said tomes will, of necessity, remain my secret.)

    Check out the Fallen Ones now!


    We've also expanded the media galleries with new artwork and several new screenshots.

    B.net free to play! Hopefully the same is true for D3.

    They shouldn't charge for battlenet. It should be provided free of charge for those people who support Blizzard through purchasing there content. If they are going to charge for it then they should give up the games for free.
