Subject: Ok, here's the latest of what I've heard about Diablo 2
In reply to: Emrys 's message, "New Blizzard Post: Diablo 2 WILL be released in time for our great-grandchildren to play. Woohoo! Um.... hey Phule, how about startin' another one of those 'continue the story' jobs? [nt]" on 16:49:15 11/02/99 Tue

Nothing I haven't really said before, except there's going to be a new type of gameplay, and I am REALLY lookin' forward to it.

This is for the elites only, folks. I don't know what they gonna call it, but when you die, you dead. Game over man, create a new character and start over. Do not pass go, do not collect $200, and don't go off gettin' one of your buddies to spring for a scroll of Res, 'cause in this game-type, they don't have none of those.

This is probably something you'll only want to play within clan games. I don't know about you, but I most certainly am NOT gonna be sendin' my level 30 Paladin against the last bad guy without some support for m'buddies on the SH-side.

Also, I know there's gonna be some form of ranking system. Not sure how that works, but it should be cool. In addition, you no longer drop all of your equipment when you die! Woohoo. Even if only the monsters getcha. That is, of course, in the normal gameplay stlye, where you can be Res'd.

That'd be interesting for tourneys. During the week people can build up to say, a level 10 character in the one-death mode....then fight until one person remains....shouldn't take too long to level up to 10, but it'd be far enough along for the different skill trees to evolve a certain length.

On that note, I shall go into more detail. You see, there are skill trees for each character. I think each has three, that can be taken up, and are each rather different. My understanding is that you'll never be able to max out everything. The Amazon, for instance, has a skill tree for spears, bows, and something else, I can't remember. Depending on what you want, you can either get really good with the bow, but not be so hot on the spear, or other way around. I'm sure you can look into it deeper if'n you feel like it.

As for the release....well, it will be done when it is done, and no sooner.

  • Since when was I the only one who could start these things? Then again, I'd probably throw a fit if someone else started one, wouldn't I? Okeydokey, you guys can have you're continue the story..... [nt] -- Mr. Phule, 18:22:26 11/02/99 Tue
