Diablo 3 forum

-I guess until we read about comments from beta testers (when it eventually hits beta) we'll have to just wait as usual for all Blizz titles (except for WoW which seems to be pushed through pretty quickly in comparison - but I understand that the subscription model is their biggest cash cow).

-Dude even the beta testers (who understand the actual dev methods not like the jerk O in that thread we read) will praise the game more as it gets improved from alpha , im pretty sure blizzard knows how high the stakes are with d3 , its critical they get it right because "we, the world" are watching.

Ye i saw that - there are some dodgy things thou. Like the whole NDA thing, you would think blizzard would shut him up if it was true... i mean they have to sign the NDA.

But I read some of those spoilers and i will say. the guy is damn imaginative if he is lying because some of it sounded epic
The one about tyrael or the one how you enter act4
Somehow my prev post dissapeared but anyway .... long story short , if its a mix like he said, then i wouldnt mind a d3 story mixed with torchlight + mp + custom d3 engine with whatever is extra.. should be interesting after all the years we waited.
-I'm inclined to think most of what he says is true. It seems sensible enough. I think whether or not the levels are boring is a much harder thing to quantify.

Cluster Arrow is a powerful demon hunter tool, as it fires a cluster bomb which explodes on impact, releasing smaller bombs which explode shortly thereafter.

Crimson - Increases the damage of the explosion at the point of impact.

Indigo - Fires enemy-seeking missiles instead of grenades.

Obsidian - The Cluster Arrow is launched high into the air and rains down grenades.

Golden - Instead of grenades, the skill spawns shadow creatures that attack nearby enemies and leech life to the demon hunter.

Alabaster - Adds a stun effect to the grenade explosions.

Diablo III beta

Diablo 3 is still only in beta, but some footage is being released. Check out the main site for continual coverage of media released by Blizzard.

A lot of you are probably wondering at this point why Diablo 3 is taking such a long time to come out. There are a lot of reasons people have suggested for why.


i say hes speaking 50% of the truth , as soon as i saw the spoilers i skipped a few lines .... like the others said on that thread , this panzy forgot that he was actually testing the alpha game and that it was ofcourse going to be lame ... srsly . I would give my soul to becoming a d3 game tester !

After reading some of it I really do hope he is just a troll because it'll mean one of two things if he isn't:
a) a D3 that doesn't live up to expectations (and I'm pretty sure we all have high expectations for the big III)
or
b) Blizz realizes this and takes even longer to release.

Acid Cloud is a witch doctor skill that summons an acid-spewing spirit, raining caustic, skin-dissolving death on the unfortunate enemies below.

Golden - Afflicts enemies with a disease effect that deals damage over time.

Alabaster - The witch doctor belches forth a directional pool of acid.
Crimson - Causes immediate damage instead of a damage over time effect.

Indigo - Increases area-of-effect radius.

Obsidian - Spawns slimes that attack nearby enemies.

Diablo 3 play

Diablo 3 Demo - Diablo 3 Game Information
Like Diablo II, Diablo III will have five classes available to choose from. Four known classes are the Barbarian, Witch Doctor, Wizard and Monk.

There are five runestone types: Crimson, Indigo, Obsidian, Golden, and Alabaster. Each runestone affects skills differently. For example, adding a Crimson Runestone to a skill may enhance its damage, while adding an Alabaster Runestone might add a stun effect.

You’ll be able to place a runestone in each of your seven skills by opening the Skills screen. A rune’s specific effect on a skill is explained through a tooltip.

In addition to their color, runestones also come in different ranks of power; the higher a runestone’s rank, the more dramatic its effect on the skill. Experiment, and discover which skill and runestone combination best suits your personal playstyle.


Diablo III is an upcoming dark fantasy / horror -themed action role-playing game in development by Blizzard, making it the third installment in the Diablo franchise.

Tracks Diablo 3 beta news and covers info on gameplay, characters, story, and demo.

After several days of conjecture, an evolving series of load screens, and more fanboy arguments than you can shake a mouse at, word has finally come down from on high.

A site named mmorpgitalia.it supposedly received information saying that Diablo 3 will be released on April 17. Even if this news comes with the price structure for.

It seems that everyone is talking about the new Follower System that has been announced. There will soon be another post in the News section, or on the main page.
