What is Diablo III ?
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. The game, which features elements of the hack and slash and dungeon crawl genres, was first announced on June 28, 2008, at the Blizzard Worldwide Invitational in Paris, France
Diablo III: Opening Cinematic

Story Plot:
The game takes place in Sanctuary, the dark fantasy world of the Diablo series. This world was saved twenty years prior by a handful of unnamed heroes in Diablo II. Warriors who, having survived the onslaught brought by the armies of the Burning Hells, have gone mad from their ordeals. It is up to a new generation of heroes to face the forces of evil threatening the world of Sanctuary.

Players will have the opportunity to explore familiar settings such as Tristram.

The only confirmed NPCs are Deckard Cain, who has appeared in both of the previous games, and his stepdaughter, a new character that accompanies the hero in quests from time to time. Cain's journal on the official site brings the player up to speed on the events of the first two games.Diablo's world map is composed primarily of two main continents with several small islands in the Northwest region.

Character Classes:
There will be five available character classes. In the previous two games, each class had a fixed gender, but in Diablo III players may choose the gender they would like to play.Although Blizzard initially revealed only one gender per class, the alternate gender has been revealed slowly in the lead-up to the game's release.

1. The Witch Doctor is a new character reminiscent of the Diablo II Necromancer, but with skills more traditionally associated with voodoo culture. The Witch Doctor has the ability to summon monsters, cast curses, harvest souls, and hurl poisons and explosives at his enemies. Blizzard has stated that the Witch Doctor is not another version of the Necromancer and that they may incorporate the Necromancer in a future expansion if they so desire.

2. The Barbarians will have a variety of revamped skills at their disposal based on the use of their incredible physical prowess. The Barbarian is able to whirlwind through crowds, cleave through swarms, leap across crags, and crush opponents upon landing.

3. The Wizard is a version of the Sorceress from Diablo II or the Sorcerer from Diablo. The Wizard's abilities range from shooting lightning, fire and ice at their enemies to slowing time and teleporting around enemies and through walls.

4. The Monk is a melee attacker, using martial arts to cripple foes, resist damage, deflect projectiles, attack with blinding speed, and land explosive killing blows. It combines the melee elements of Diablo II's Assassin class with the "holy warrior" role of the Paladin. Blizzard has stated that the Monk is not related in any way to the Monk class from the Sierra Entertainment-made Diablo: Hellfire expansion.

5. The Demon Hunter combines elements of Diablo II's Amazon and Assassin classes. Demon Hunters use crossbows as their main weapon and also throw small bombs at enemies. Some of their skills have been revealed and among them are arrow skills such as Chain Arrow.

the post that writes 1st or 2nd or 3rd will be deleted of course, that is short spam

oh i wanted to edit it later but nvm la

haih lambatnye my CE mau sampai

mod remove for spamming

tapi i thought its ok to spam in chat tereds.

i already updated v3 to link to this one. but i don't know how to close thread

PS: noobandroid is sabahan same like me

This post has been edited by Moogle Stiltzkin: Apr 19 2012, 01:03 PM

lol seriously??
bottom left-> close thread

thx

that's what i thought. we always spam 1st on steam tered and TF2 tered, takde remove pun.

hehe i also 1st time see delete ingat got hantu

Yeah V4!

Is it possible to change my region to America, buy the game and then change it back to Australia?
I have to pay 80AUD for the game instead of 60USD

Possible. but it's an annoyingly long process that involves blizz support with phone calls and/or email

I just realized I got a ton of PS3 games (some new and unopened O.O) including Demon / Dark Souls... well at least the 1 month won't be so unbearable

unless you have hard solid evidence to prove that you are living in USA i dun think that is gonna happen. the region change i mean

Eh where all my char in diablo? they already wipe/reset it?

yup all reset the got anounce ma

final patch 17.. all reset again ~_~

ah..didn't notice about the reset thing..just come back from home town =)

i heard from my fren beta key user. ati 4850 already can max setting on single player. Any different from single to multiplayer?

Owh...thats good news for me~!

Multiplayer will be more demanding on graphics as you need to display more players on the screen as well as mobs and effects.

huhu ... lucky ! i m still using ati hd 4850

yup. thats why still waiting for my fren feedback on multi. somehow you know when d3 officially release is gonna packed with ppl like pasar every minutes in the server.
Btw my fren said d3 is like d2 nothing special and disappointment
