Diablo 3

[Healingpoison]

I hear some small chatter about Diablo 3...

Who here plays diablo 2?

 

[ArcticInferno]

I used to play. I left off after I had nothing to do/ got sick of it. Anyway, that's rubbish. Blizzard dismissed the gossips about Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3.(Plus Warcraft 4.)

 

[Healingpoison]

Blizzard has made expansions on all that games....
Warcraft is the largest chain of games i think

 

[ArcticInferno]

Yes. After warcraft 3 got sucessful, they made TFT, it was cool again, and they made WoW. It was cool again...(Yes, they delayed starcraft ghost)...and now Burning Crusade's going in soon, and a warcraft live action MOVIE is gonna be made...News on the blizzard site.

 

[Healingpoison]

They've done it slowly though, so they dont completely kill warcraft 3, and also, it has always been clear which game you should get. They never released 2 warcraft games at the same time.

 

[ArcticInferno]

Yes...not like some other game producers..Haste for many shitty-games. I would rather WAIT and have a slow nice game.

 

[Healingpoison]

The sad bit is sometimes the quickly produced games become popular

 

[Ralle]

I don't like that they released WoW.. I won't play it because I was so addicted to D2 (Diablo 2). And WoW made WarCraft smaller.. And now they only release mmorpgs... dah..

Ralle, I have to disagree. If you look at Xfire stats there are a ton of people playing TFT and thats all thanks to WoW. I mean I would rather see a warcraft 4 instead of a WoW expansion any day, but its thanks to WoW that TFT isn't just another forgotten game that no one plays anymore. But, Blizzard HAS forsaken us. Even though WC3 is still doing just great and has a strong playerbase, there will never be a WC4 (or not for a long, long time). This has already been proved by Starcraft Ghost and Burning Crusade (one pushed out of the way to make more room for the other). As long as Blizzard has a massive MMO with 6.5 million people paying 15 dollars a month to play their game, tey don't need to release aything else except expansions to keep the WoW playerbase giving them tons and tons of $$$$$. Blizzard isn't about the game guys, its about the money.

 

[ArcticInferno]

I would seriously like a Starcraft 2. I miss it(starcraft series,excluding SC ghost).

 

[Ralle]

I am willing to pay 15$ a month for a wc4

 

[Ralle]

97,500,000 is their monthly income on WoW only then :O

 

[ArcticInferno]

omg. never calculated, but it sounds scary having that much money in a month.

 

[Deckboy]

i'm personally glad starcraft ghost was cancelled, however, I really would like to see a starcraft 2 as well. Oh and didn't they disband the diablo team?

 

[ArcticInferno]

No, Deckboy, Ghost was Delayed. It's coming soon.. I mean is it cancelled?(I'm slow, hardly update)

 

[Malufa]

There has been talk of it for a long time, the people who were developing it got fired and made Guild Wars.

 

[ArcticInferno]

The people who got fired and made guild wars were DEVELOPING starcraft ghost?

 

[Shados]

Look, Starcraft Ghost has been "Indefinately Postponed" which means it's been put off for unspecified period of time, most likely forever. And Malufa,

the people who were developing it got fired and made Guild Wars.

The founders of Blizzard wanted to have WoW low- or no-pay per month and they wanted to change several other things about it to make it less level/item based, so it was less dependant on how long you've played it for (to make you play it for longer so they make more money) and more on how skilled you were, however, their board of directors (or w/e) voted against their ideas and they quit and started ArenaNet (the company behind Guild Wars).

 

[Healingpoison]

I saw a message on blizzards website that said the Diablo team was looking for an interface desginer O.O .....

 

[brad.dude03]

yep, too bad guildwars sucks... I would honestly like WoW to have been that kind of game though, just liek every MMO promises that it will be. I don't have the time to play 125 hours a week, nor to find groups and all the like for my quests. I barely play the game, while my friends play mobsessively, which is why their level 60 and i'm not. The game should be made to suite all types of gamers, not just the rabidly hardcore with a lot of free time on their hands.

 

[Malufa]

Guild wars is great in my opinion. The level cap is low, items are semi-easy to get, the hard part is the skills. They are rather simple, even tho some take some time and groups, so even that is not a challenge. The challenge comes not from have an uber high level or the best gear, all the power comes from which skills you use and how you use them. This means that it is up to the player to be good, which is what I absolutely love about the game. It is all based upon your skill, not your stats, items, or anything else.

 

[Shados]

Guild Wars is very fun.

P.S.

Malufa, I'm begining to HATE DnL even though I haven't played it, and this is why. The department has changed three times and yet nothing has happened, see those dates? It's been over a MONTH!

 

[Malufa]

I quit it and got a refund, I suggest you do the same thing. The actual game is worse than alpha testing was and they listen even less.

 

[Healingpoison]

Wow... DnL isn't as good as you expected?

I was considering buying it too...

PS - Lets try to get back on topic

 

[Malufa]

No, do not buy it, it is a piece of junk.

Guild Wars is basically an updated D3 with an emphasis on players skills. Since it is not needed to pay per month it is highly popular among all ages. It should be noted that it is best played with a group of friends as henchmen are only good for so much (like the healer) but are easily surpassed by a competant sentient player.

 

[Healingpoison]

I'm planning on getting Guild Wars, as an alternative to World of Warcraft. It does make me think of Diablo 3...

 

[Shados]

So what exactly is wrong with it?

And yeah, Guild Wars is more skill based, which means an on/off player like me can still do very well as I'm a good tactician.
