Blizzard Announces Diablo III
I didn’t intend to be up this late, but since I was I’ve been tuning into the Blizzard World Wide Invitational in Paris (where it isn’t so late) to see what the big announcement is. Apparently, it’s Diablo III.
[edit] It doesn’t look to be an MMO, so although I’ll probably pick it up eventually I’m not as interested as I would be otherwise. *shrug*

Didn’t mean to be up this late… Sure…
Admit it, you can be as obsessively nerdy as we are. On the up-side, we’re some of the first people in America outside Blizzard to know.
ohmigosh look at the MMO champion report on the dev panel!:
“All kind of pets will have their own talent tree. A tanking talent tree, a DPS talent tree, and an utility talent tree. Each kind of pet family will have its own talent tree and its own unique ability.”

Sharess beat me to it! Different source, same info.

Also pleased about: A specific ability revealed was “cornered” – your pet does an additional 20% damage when they’re at 20% health
Also, new pets for Wrath! Steady Shot no longer clipping! And, as mentioned, each pet will have talent trees and a unique ability (two things I’ve wished for for so long).
Diablo III looks great, but the hunter news really excites me. Hopefully more details will be give later.
This message isn’t about Diablo 3, which I think is AWESOME!
Can we post questions here for the large questions time later this afternoon, for your friends to ask?
Because, even though I feel i know the answer, I want to hear it from Blizz themselves if we are getting more Stable slots.
Man, I’m so psyched <3.
That’s just awesome.
HEY Mania, looks like your sites going to have to pick up some talent calculator code :D.
And the fact that there adding unique talent trees for each pet family, holy cow =D.
I’ve planned it already, my Ghost Wolf Fenrir is going be DPS, my turtle Tommy will spec Tanking =).
I’ve been wondering why scarce Hunter details came out with the Alpha, but this makes up for it and then some.

Pet TALENTS!!!
Tell me this isn’t fantasy.
Downside to each pet getting a different tree is, you know there will still be a best for everything.
From what I’ve read on Insider it’s not so much each pet having ONE talent tree but there being 3 talent trees. Just like classes and you can put points into them just like classes. So you can spec your pet.
If you want a Tiger tank you take the tanking tree, but if you want the tiger DPS you take the DPS tree
Just found a new update with a “Hunter panel”
Must read.

Apparently I shouldn’t have gone to bed when I did! *yawn* Okay, okay … give me a sec and I’ll round up everything I can find in a new post. :> And thanks for those links!
Vish: Unfortunately I haven’t gotten any friends there. Unless you were talking to someone else?
(I am so tired …)
Then get back to sleep! We can wait, Mania. We have wowinsider and such to keep us drooling for the next little bit, you sleep! Sounds like you need it.
Oh I didn’t mean it like that. I don’t sleep well after it gets light is all.
Amen to that, and I always feel so weird when I wake up after sleeping during the day.

[...] Diablo III announcement wasn’t the only news to come out of Blizzard’s World Wid Invitational today in Paris. [...]
I’m actually really psyched about Diablo (I already gushed about pet talents in the other post) – by the time I got to play the previous versions of Diablo the graphics were so dated that it was hard to play that game versus all the new hotness that was being produced in other games. It’d actually be nice to have a game to play on my laptop that I could travel with and NOT have to worry about getting internet service. But then I’m the hermit type of gamer that also likes to have a quiet game to myself sometimes, without other players to chat with. Sometimes it’s nice just to kill the monsters solo.
Actually since I only briefly played those other Diablos I have no idea if there was even a hunter class – I think I played a caster. Anyone remember?
Just from looking at the screenshots? I’ll definitely have to try this one.
there was no hunter class… there was an amazon that could use a pike, bow, or thrown weapons (like javelins). the only “pet” class was the necromancer in the 2nd one who could summon undead things.
Druids could summon wolves or a bear..and ravens…and a killer plants..
That’s it – I was thinking of the druids.
