Awesome to see. I imagine the shortage of replies has do do with people just wanting to see a freakin release date.

I got to try it out. He's pretty fun, but I will still probably start with the wizard. Like they said, he is more fragile. I definitely could not take hits like the barbarian.

Cool, I like the idea of a monk. But wait, there is really only one class that can fight in the traditional hack-n-slash manner (barbarian of course)

I really don't like how they are making everything dependent on the skills. When I played D2 a lot of the time I just bashed through with my sword. Now there are essentially 3 types of wizards...

Looking good!

On a side note, does anyone think that the Barbarian looks very similar to the Force Commander in Dawn of War 2?

Large Hammer/Mallet/Maul, a bash attack that smashes a line in front of him.... with a jet pack, a jump/smash attack, a run-through them attack too....i know, huge generalisation but I could not help but think of it when I saw the boss fight videos for the first time.

Loving that gameplay footage. Looks freaking awesome. On a bad note they said not to expect D3 in 2010, but sc2 and wow expansions for 2010.

Kinda, yes. But that's still good!

It will come before SC2 is complete that's for sure, perhaps not Wings of Liberty, but the remaining two other "chapters", I would bet my soul on that.

Any guesstimates on release date for D3? I want it to come out and at the same time don't want it to come out (afraid of losing sleep to it lol)
