Diablo 3

[Eccho]

Deckard Cain, also known as Cain the Elder, is the last living human in the line of Horadric mages. Appearing in both Diablo I and Diablo II, Cain provides the player with valuable advice for many quests, and it is he who initiates the Archbishop Lazarus and Diablo quests, as well as numerous quests in Diablo II. Cain, in both games, can identify items for a charge (or for free if rescued by the player in Diablo II), and serves as a town elder throughout the events of Diablo I. He is descended from Jered Cain, who imprisoned Diablo two-hundred years before, and is schooled in the most obscure lore and history of the arcane[1].

As of Diablo II, Cain is the only known survivor of Tristram's destruction, save the Dark Wanderer himself. Cain, rather than being killed by the demons, was left in a cage near the well in the center of town to die. In Diablo II's Search for Cain quest, Cain is rescued by the player, and afterward follows the player through each of the game's Acts. Griswold, now a reanimated monstrosity, was corrupted by Andariel herself and attempts to prevent Cain's rescue. Once Cain has been rescued by the hero, he will identify items free of charge. If the player neglects to rescue Cain, the rogues will do so after the Sisters to the Slaughter quest and the player must pay 100 gold for each item identified, though he will still follow the player through each Act.

And well, as I saw he has returned in diablo 3 as well. He is a pure classic though, yet yes, almost ancient now.

awesomeness. That's it. Just awesomeness

 

[Gilles]

Hm, let us just hope that this is not going to be pay2play like wow... Then Im gonna cry :/

It won't be. It's a single player game remember.

 

[DrazharLn]

so what is blizzard's next mmorpg going to be then?

They're going to have to drop WoW soon, it's getting too outdated.

 

[Huurka]

Yet it's still the MMORPG with the biggest community.

 

[Eccho]

They said in the gameplay trailer that you can call in other players...
Then it should me Multiplayer able.

 

[Hakeem]

So Diablo III has infernals?

Check out the new cinematic trailer for Diablo 3 I uploaded. You can't find this in the official site. http://youtube.com/watch?v=RPXoE_M5MUA

 

[redmarine]

Hm... There is a theory related to the burning comet which says that it's Tyreal(the great archangel) being kicked from heaven. I guess it has something to do with destroying the world stone if the theory is correct.

 

[Direfury]

Well damn that would be a great scene. An epic version of "GTFO", a bitch slap and then sailing down to the ground, owned.

 

[1)ark_NiTe]

I'm so glad that they are incorporating spell ideas from WCIII into the game .

Like Locust Swarm and the Barbarian version of Thunderclap.

 

[Darkness568]

Omg I Cannot Wait To Play It Y Do They Have To Tease Me Like This!

 

[Denu]

My real life has lost all meaning. All hail Lord Diablo! I await my masters return...

 

[Direfury]

Oh goodie, Giant MK's in D3. God I bet the Nec is dead by now, or maybe they changed 'em into a Lich?

 

[Eccho]

You never know...

I didn't see the obvious thing by the way, that we have to wait up to 1 year for the D3 release :/

 

[Dreadnought[dA]]

Blizzard... stop stealing peoples souls... erm time... XD

Now more korean 8 year olds will die after playing D3, SC2, and WoW for 3 days straight with no food or water. *Waits for the mothers to come with broomsticks*

 

[Eccho]

Youp... I was accidentally addicted to d2 for almost two years. Now it's not that fun anymore since there are so many abuses in it. I have not yet been tired of wc3 though

And d3 is just superb... If I don't get addicted too much from it...

Is Diablo3 gonna be like WoW? Only online? Or is there gonna be a campaign? More to the point if it's online does this mean we'll have to pay monthly like WoW?

 

[Eccho]

I doubt that it would be like wow. It is more likely like Diablo2...

I think. there will be a single player mode, but also the possibility to multiplayer as it is d2 now...

There are rumours sure, that d3 is going to be p2p. But if we are lucky...

You could just go to the site and see for yourseld

 

[F4talWr4th]

Diablo 3 isn't going to be released till 2012 or something, I saw the message since 2005...but things can change like false fortune telling...well, the longer it's release, the better features we'll all be expecting...

You saw what message?

 

[cheesdude]

They should release the demo within a year or so.

What do you guys predict our comps will need for D3 to run smoothly?

 

[Eccho]

Im not sure, but since the graphic is reminding me of Sc2 I would assume it will be around the same requirements there

 

[cheesdude]

You think 3.01 GHz and 2.87 Gb of ram would be able to run it on at least the minimal setting?

 

[Eccho]

well yea I suppose, isnt that quite good already?

A graphic card is required as well

 

[cheesdude]

Thanks..

Am i the only one who thinks that the Barbarian Chick is like the most badass thing ever?

 

[JetFangInferno]

The demon thing in the cinematic trailer looks like Diablo fused with a Hydralisk.

 

[Gilles]

You think 3.01 GHz and 2.87 Gb of ram would be able to run it on at least the minimal setting?

Are you kidding? It will run it fine on a high setting. My friends computer with has 1.5 RAM and probably around 2.8-3 GHz; he runs Unreal 3 fine, which has more demanding graphics than this (his are on either mid, or high, I think it's high). He has a mid range graphics card. 256 I think.

They have stated that they are not trying to make this for high-end computers, but lower-end ones. So we should expect some pretty low resolutions and details (meaning you can turn it all way down).

That's exactly what i thought at first!

 

[Doron]

I demand a Diablo 3 Discussion area in THW!!!

 

[The_wand_mirror]

That's exactly what i thought at first!

Euh, that IS diablo? I think he looks fucking awesome...

Btw... i thought the game would be released like almost at the end of 2009. But...

 

[redmarine]

I'm sure it'll be released in 2009 or in early 2010.

 

[NearbyHermit]

The release will be in 2009 for sure.

I really wonder about the storyline ,how will it be?

 

[redmarine]

One word: Devilish!

 

[NearbyHermit]

Wickedly said!?!

I wonder if the area is character affected,as if you choose the Doctor,you are spawned in Kurast,Umbaru.
Or Barbarrian in Mount Arreat.
I wonder alot:do the ancients still exist,what happened to all the other NPCs,will Baal and Mephisto show up?

A lot of questions!

 

[Eccho]

Nearbyhermit... You have many questions, yet so few anyone can answer...

Dont be that exited

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

Diablo 3 is far above starcraft 2 in my opinion... but thats just my opinion =p

No it's not. Just because you see them well made in the char classes, doesn't mean the game will have graphics of a movie. Just improvement and that's it.

Though what really surprises me no longer, is the fact that they said they were not gonna make even the 1st releases of SC2 till the end of 2007, they did nothing about half of 2008. Now I know why. And it doesn't please me to have frozen the release of the 1st alpha/beta of SC2 only to make D3. The game might be cool though better than D2 LoD. Just a replacement of WoW and hopefully, not paid like WoW and not wasting days for just few quests. And wtf when you kill Diablo this has no point, the game 'Diablo' that no longer has diablo...

 

[PurpleHephalump]

DIABLO III WOOT WOOT WOOT WOOT!

 

[Eccho]

DIABLO III WOOT WOOT WOOT WOOT!

[TheDivineBoss]

I can't wait for the game

 

[TDR]

can't wait for Diablo 4!

 

[redmarine]

can't wait for Diablo 4!

You're way ahead of yourself.

 

[Eccho]

can't wait for Diablo 4!

I think you are superstitious ._.
