They keep releasing "new" classes, even though they're already existing classes that are just redesigned.

They specifically said it was an old, well-known class in RPGs, but that they redesigned it for Diablo and whatnot. They're talking about the story behind them right now, and the concept, and such.

They're talking about their attacks right now, they're so cool. Monk works off a combo-like system, where when you chain attacks together in 3 stages, the 3rd stage hits the hardest, and the attacks do different things depending on what stage you use them at.

For example, Exploding Palm causes a bleed DOT on stage 3 (internal bleeding type thing) and if the mob dies from the DOT he'll explode.

I'm comfortable with that. Just release the fucking game already.

Hey, terminology is important. They know this. It's all about selling the game, and if that means unintentionally misleading consumers, so be it.

But yeah, release it already.

I know I'll sound like a fanboy, but I honestly have no problem waiting for the games. I know it sucks, but the whole "when it's ready" thing has worked out well for them, and I'd much rather wait for the better quality then get something that wasn't the best it could be.

Oh, I'm with you on that. But that doesn't stop me from wanting it to be out now, in perfect form. Of course, too much time can be a bad thing. Just look at Duke Nukem Forever.

I wouldn't mind another traditional Warcraft game. One that actually advances the story of the world. Something along the lines of a combination of the gameplay from WC2 and the narrative of WC3.

I got D2 working. There's this new thing called a "patch" and it now works for me on Vista. It's as fun as I remembered it.

And I have to agree with the class retreads. Diablo is going to sell no matter what. Why not create mostly original classes to put it's stamp on the fantasy genre.
