why did they change the toolbar though? The buttons look like little pills next to the hotbar. :'(Unfortunately they don't have any time to change this :'(
I think Diablo 3 will come out before Heart of the Swarm.
I wonder if Diablo 3 will be released before the two Starcraft 2 expansions, or at least before the Torchlight MMO.
Just to get everyone in the right mood:

I'm probably the only person on this board who feels only mild excitement about this game.

Because this game is not a priority. Activision has changed blizzard. The priority goes to the money making games like WoW and other pay to play games.

So glad to get a Blizz insider's expert opinion on this issue
Development on Diablo III began in 2001 when Blizzard North was still in operation.
Blizzard games ALWAYS take long.

As an MMO, WoW requires more resources and more content. The focus is understandable and logical, given how much money it generates.
I listened to their podcast about it (if I recall) and they say people don't like to walk around "dark and gloomy" places endlessly or something.

Except the Diablo games always had amazing story [cutscenes] and ambiance.
Guys, guys, guys. Let's be honest here. Consoles didn't do this to Diablo. Fucking WoW did this to Diablo, and you're probably all guilty of contributing to it at one time or another.

have they really
i didn't notice after i got my first rare drop
Diablo 3, Wowified
1/3 of Starcraft II is pretty disingenuous, come on. There may be more coming, but what there is is a full game.

I was wondering how long it was going to take for someone to mention that. :lol

Is there an opt-in for the beta, or are keys being randomly sent to Battle.net accounts?
Game looks exactly the fucking same, btw. Nostalgiatards are just warming up their qq cannons
Remember when you first heard stuff like how either Steam or StarCraft 2 require you to be online for authentication purposes? That the process to play or utilize either service offline can be a bit circuitous, but at least it's still possible to be offline. But, Diablo 3 differs in that you must be online to play at all -- not just for authentication.
Executive vice president of game design Rob Pardo notes that the wealth of improvements and features Diablo 3 brings to Battle.net necessitate the always-online requirement. Specific additions that he refers to include:
A persistent friends list.
Cross-game chat via the RealID system.
Persistent characters that are stored server-side (no more having to play online once every 90 days, nor item duplication cheats).
Persistent party system.
Player-versus-player and public game matchmaking.
Dynamic drop-in/out for co-op
Larger item stash that gets shared among all of your characters (at the moment, up to 10)
The auction house, outlined here.
The Achievement system and detailed stat-tracking, both of which feed into the final point:
The Banner system, a visual way to display your prowess in the game. Banners start out like emblems, where you can choose from an array of symbols, patterns, and overall shape/design. Then, you can tweak its appearance through Achievements and other accomplishments. Examples Pardo cites include whether the character is in Hardcore mode, how many Achievements have been earned, how many PVP victories, and so forth. Additionally, the Banners also have gameplay features; in-game, rather than use Town Portal, you can click on a player's Banner to instantly teleport over to said player.
While Pardo recognizes that people sometimes want or need to play offline (such as internet outages, or playing on a laptop during an airplane flight), he notes that the increased security, plus benefits like the above, outweigh those other concerns. "I want to play Diablo 3 on my laptop in a plane, but, well, there are other games to play for times like that."
Interestingly, before our own play session for preview purposes, we saw what happens when you try to play offline (or get knocked offline): you get stuck at the login screen (a la World of Warcraft). The reason? The beta server wasn't online. How do you feel about this? Are you already online all the time anyways (for Steam or WOW)? Or is this a significant issue? Let us know in the comments below.
Also, if you're curious about some of the new Battle.net features, click on through for some screens (fullsize images also available by clicking on the screen itself) below.

Console version all but confirmed:QuoteWhile lead designer Josh Mosqueira stopped short of confirming the port out right during a Gamescom press conference today, he stated that the developer "is very, very serious about bringing the Diablo 3 experience to the console."
He added that, as reported earlier this year, Blizzard is currently in the process of recruiting a team to handle a potential console version of the action RPG sequel.
"Today, we're trying to build the best console team at Blizzard. We're looking for programmers, designers, artists who think their dream job would be to bring Diablo to the console. Trust me, it is a dream job.
"All I can say is it's going to be awesome. Stay tuned."
