Im really having a hard time trying to imagine balanced pvp arenas in a diablo game...

It will probably be like Arena in WoW. Balanced up to a point, but certainly not balanced enought to be a proper esport.


The thing is though that WoW always had PvE balance to think about while diablo 3 won't have that issue i guess, which means it gets easier to balance pvp


They are going to need spells to work differently or be less effective in pvp than in pve, something wow refused to implement.

Except that they implemented it in WoW?


And it's called PvM not PvE goddammit.

Not to mention the amount of advertising it received...

You can also take a look at Sims series, which aren't a great game, yet they're selling like hot buns in the morning. Why is that?


The sims is selling good because of the nostalgia and the fact its a very simple game and been around for years.

I actually think the demon hunter is pretty cool. I'm not sure why a lot of people seem to hate it so much.

Its a bit dissapointing that Blizzard has started using this ingame-type of graphics when making trailers, it looks pretty underwhelming and bland compared to the more epic WoW trailer they used to have.

Even the diablo 2 act cinematics looks better than these.

Jay Wilson says the beta will come out about 6 months before release so we have a while to wait...

That same interview in part 3 says Diablo 3 might be pay-to-play in certain regions. He was very vague though. He also reconfirms that Diablo 3 PvP will not be "competitively balanced as an Esport".

And I totally agree that the cinematics could look much better, especially the wizard one. I liked the first cinematic for the game though with the candles and "I have seen what the darkness hides". I also didn't mind the new demon hunter cinematic. Personally I think shes an awesome new class.
Don't forget to get everyone you know to play HOTS so this game we love called Starcraft will live on. Every little bit helps. ^^

Um from that demon hunter video it looks pretty goth to me and I can't wait for this to come out. Looks so awesome.

Looks better than the D2

The cinematics for the monk, wizard, and demon hunter aren't intended to be full-fledged pre-rendered CGI. Think of them as being more similar to the in-game cinematics for Starcraft 2. I'm certain that Diablo 3 will have more high quality movies, but there is no way they could have made high quality movies for simple class reveals. They'll probably save that effort for more epic scenes throughout the story.

Demon Hunter? Seriously? Aren't ALL classes hunting demons?

I really hope they justify the endless arrow, no-cocking, dual crossbow logic. I rarely call bullshit on these kinds of badassery, but I'm calling bullshit.

my thoughts exactly. to me its like a bowZon + trap assn mix. the no-cocking was wtf, muti arrows was okay.

Demo was horrible, if you guy played DH on single player; she can barely kills stuff. overall i did not find a replacement weapon, i had to use the default no stats dual xbow.
I think shes missing the variety of weapon that can be used. Monk/barb use can use swords,axe,etc. WD, wizard use 2h staff or 1h staff. DH only gets the dual xbow skills.


i LOVEDDD bowazons, it was my first ladder char (lvl 97), but like you said, it looks like bowazon with some tacky grenades.

i found the demo horrible as well =[ shes going to have trouble with crowd control as always, i guess the nades will help :S

nevertheless, i'm eagerly anticipating this game.

i also found it awful to play in the demo. Multi Shot did no damage, my trap seemed to have 0 radius and the mob literally had to walk over it to set it off, and it just felt clunky overall. even the previewed abilities made it seem too much like relying on things like Assassin traps, setting them up then backing up to lure monsters into them, which would be awful when power-running or even in a 4-player game where you just power through the dungeons.

i feel like it would be as useless as Witch Doctor in the battle arena too.

Monk, Wizard, and Barb were very enjoyable though.

I hope this doesn't happen. This is part of the reason I loved D2 so much. I'm so hyped up for D3 but no way am I paying a subscription fee for a non-MMORPG.

Hell, I won't even want to pay a subscription fee for an MMORPG -_-

they know D3 won't survive with a monthly subscription. they're probably covering their bases in case they decide to have a different model for Latin America like they're doing with SC2 (base client is very cheap, but monthly fee to continue playing online).

Just to clear it up, they said that certain abilities will change (balance) when you enter PvP.

also, hardcore characters will die in pvp

Have they confirmed how HC is going to work? I was under the impression that HC characters and regular characters would play in the same realm this time around, like in the original...

If that is the case, then having PvP arenas spell the end for HC characters is stupid.

I think its pay-to-play for a limited amount of regions...

As I may recall, the Russian Starcraft 2 server is pay-to-play.

4 Player cap, for a game with more than 4 classes announced seems kind of silly.

i was playing the demos with a group of 4, and 4 seemed like too much honestly. it was frustrating getting through doorways so we just split up into 2 pairs until we spawned the events/bosses. keep in mind that you get individual loot drops, so when you split up and clear different rooms you have to go back to what the other guys cleared to see your loot. at blizzcon the playtime was limited and the characters were throwaways so i didn't care too much about drops, but in a real game it would not be fun to play in a game with 8 people spreading out and then going through the entire empty dungeon just to make sure you didn't miss a Unique.

I actually interpreted it differently. The 1/8 is so the battles aren't over in 1 hit, that's obvious. I'm wondering if they're suggesting that actual spells, individually may/may not be changed/tweaked for PvP. Because if it was a simple Monster vs. 1/8 Person penalty, I feel like they woulda just said that.
