Diablo 3 fourth class

Diablo — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 01:17:07 +0000

With BlizzCon ‘09 coming next month, you don’t have to be a genius to tell that Blizzard will have to make some kind of Diablo 3 announcement.

My count of the rumors regarding the fourth race can be boiled down to two:

Ranged character – the parallel is to the rogue in the Diablo I and the Amazon in Diablo 2
Knight – similar to the Warrior in Diablo and the Paladin in Diablo 2

Believe it or not, there’s speculation that the Knight is out of the question for Diablo 3 and that Blizzard would like to introduce a truly unique character, like … a Vampire!

I’m betting my money on the ranged character, could be called Ranger or Hunter. A pet is NOT out of the question, though that could be my WoW Hunter talking!

Information about Diablo 3 is a dime a dozen but GOOD information is often difficult to come by. Most guys simply recycle the same stories over and over. Check out this Diablo 3 site for detailed information on Diablo 3 Skill Trees. Hope more guys like this scour the internet for good Diablo 3 information.

Diablo 3 beta map

For those of us impatient enough (isn’t that everyone?), a Diablo III custom map has been released.

You need Warcraft III in order to play it and the map is still in beta. However, I’m really amazed at the graphics - the world editor is indeed powerful enough to change the game completely. It does look like Diablo III.

P.S. Maybe it was my bad luck with skill selection as a Wizard but even the first wave of zombies proved insurmountable for me!

Battle.net 2.0 free at last

Diablo — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 02:41:16 +0000

According to BlizzPlanet, Blizzard has not stated officially that Battle.net 2.0 is going to be free.

However, Blizzard is known for its vague comments when it comes to monetization:

Are there any plans to monetize Battle.net 2.0 service? Mike Morhaime limited to answer: “I’m not ready to talk about that today”. Mike Morhaime confirmed that Battle.net 2.0 will be free to those who buy StarCraft 2 retail.

Of course, you need to remember that Starcraft 2 is coming out not in one but in THREE retails boxes (for a total of around $100). So even one measly box gets you into Battle.net 2.0 for life? I’ll take it.
