 Thumbs UP!

Diablo, Mechwarrior, and the Close Combat series are the only three PC games I pay much attention to (besides AH).  This is good news!  Finally!!!

It's always been planned to retain the traditional 2d/over-looking/map-look/non-first-person view, it's what makes Diablo, well Diablo. They just did all the modeling, levels and graphics in glorious 3D rendering now.

May 15, the week before my finals.  Looks like I'll be sending a preemptive email to all my professors explaining my failing grades.

Diablo II is one of my fav all time games and Diablo III looks to be just as epic.  For that reason I must steer clear.

I have been purposely staying away from the development of Diablo III ever since I saw the first screen shots back in 2008.  I would have gone insane if I would have kept close attention to the development of Diablo III, like some of the fools who cry each and every day about something irreverent in the D3 forums.  Some of those guys LIVE for this kind of stuff, while a healthy liking of a game genre is fine, losing sanity is not.  We see that sometimes in AH, too.  Wink  

I played Diablo II for hours on end in late '99, through '00, and in to '01, then picked it back up a few years later in '03/'04.  I was lucky have to have graduated college with my 2.82 gpa when I did (May '01).   Thumbs UP!

I doubt it will effect my time on AH too much, I wont be cancelling my subscription that is for sure.  Diablo III may cut in to my work time, though (I work from home as an claims adjuster).   Big Grin

Something told me you were a diablo nerd. Friends got me into diablo umm 1, way back in the day. Gave me abunch of equipment,and still someone I never saw killed me and stole my crap. I can see how its addictive just not for me. Mechwarrior though may have to look into that.

And remember your friends dont give a ratsbehind how much mana your new staff can cast.
