I’m going to go with the barbarian. I liked that class the best during the beta.
Anyone planning on hopping on the D2 LOD ladder reset on May 2nd? So much fun when everyone has to restart from scratch and it will be a good lead up to the d3 release.
Of course the ladder reset is in the middle of finals week. Fuckers.[/quote]
Ya it would be sweet and I really want to, but I have to finish writing 3 papers and study for finals. I wouldn’t be able to give it a whole lot of effort until a couple days before d3 itself releases.

Is that still a thing?
I read a long time ago that D3 was entirely online
and That was what really ruined 1&2 for me.
All the cheating and hacking and lagging etc.[/quote]
So the whole game is online now even single player. But now blizzard Online Service “battlenet” is essentially hack proof, the whole goal of them having it all online was they can stop modders/hackers.

Fuck them for not having a Paladin class.
And don’t bother trying to sell me a monk, because it’s not the same.
Yeah, obviously, I’ll still play and give them 30 hours a week of my fucking life, but fuck them anyway.[/quote]
They’ll probably add it in with the second expansion after interest in the game fades. Good ol’ ATVI is going to hold stuff back so they can squeeze 2-3 expansions in the next 5 years.
I remember reading a dev post that said they decided not to include the Paladin because the class was “too good” for Diablo 3, there was no way they make the class feel like an improvement over Diablo 2 without being too strong compared to the other classes since the class was already perfect.

This is going to be unreal! What race are you guys going to stick with?
I also heard the best testers blizzard has have not yet beaten the inferno mode.[/quote]
Race? Think you mean class.
But either Monk/Wizard.
I tried Witch Doctor on beta and it felt way OP.[/quote]
How was the witch doctor compared to the necromancer from d2?[/quote]
Soo the thing with D3 is that all the customization you had in D3, doesn’t come really until higher levels soo I personally didn’t feel I had enough play time with the Witch Doctor to say how similar or different they are.
I’ll tell you one thing throwing barrels of spiders is FUN & OP.

But I live way out in the Country and our internetz dont work so fast from the satellites.
I’m still getting it and gonna try 2 force it to work with the slowness
but I wish there were at least an option for single player as in the first two.

I was pissed about the no Paladin, too, definitely think the monk is just not as cool. I didn’t get to try the beta but I bought it, feeling the barbarian so far.
That’s crazy about no testers beating inferno mode though, I can’t see being good enough to even try it.
I doubt it will be different enough/much improved from the previous version to hold my attention for long. Once you smash all the content it will probably get boring.
But it will hold me over until I start nerding it up in GW2!
