Just settle it in a 1on1 to the death. Then there will be no more need to argue if the name of a character is good or bad. (not to mention that it's purely subjective anyways - joca is not really giving arguments here, but expressing a preference)

and d3 fail was mainly about substituing the necro by a witch doctor, which not only is ugly but it also has a crappier name :P


if that is a fail, why barbarian being the only 'surviving' class is not a fail? no sorceress? oh shiet!

witch doctor is not a crappy name. it fits the character and its abilities pretty well. if you dont like the character itself - then thats another thing, but not the name problem which you for some reason point out.

personally i like what they did with the classes we know so far. they take some things of the old classes and put into different classes in a more interesting way. like lets say barbarian now has paladins charge. hows that a bad thing? it fits the current barbarian much more.

why witch doctor is so hated?
lets see... barbarian is wreacking things back and forth resulting in a fast action gameplay, something that you would expect when playing barbarian.
wizard - has loads of literal tricks up her sleeve, which can be manipulated in all kinds of ways.
WD has abilities that can be used in lots of ways and every part of that character is something that you would expect from WD. whats the problem tho? its not fast character. its far way from the center of combat. this can be compared to many other games - there will be 10 times more damage dealing characters than support/healers. so the problem lies not in the class itself, but in concept.

what saved necromancer from the same fate? people love dead things. skeletons = badass.
replace skeletons with butterflies, give him a pink outfit, change his grumpy face into wide smile etc, while leaving the funcionality as it is. the resulted character would be 10 times less popular than necromancer.

What can i say? Keeps you capitalists on the edge and constantly in the need for new and more efficient strategies of exploiting your working class, so as to be able to keep up with us technologically as well as economically. Works well though, since you consequently alienate your proletariat in the process, literally digging your own grave.

joca_bt, ask yourself this: if the visuals would not resemble WoW, but were still the same as they are right now, would you still dislike them? If the answer is yes, then i don't see why it is necessary to mention WoW at all, since your distaste of the visuals is independent of any resemblance they might have to WoW. If your answer is no, then you must be seriously ill-disposed towards WoW, which is just unfortunate.

lol, errr i hv baldurs and icewind complete collections :P, and I do see wow there, d3 is fail :P

ps - diablo series are hacked a lot :D

ps2 - compare the new d3 interface with d1 or d2 interfaces :P, WOW!


hello mr troll,

well sorry, but you sir are a fool.
i didnt mention dnd games for nothing.
add lets say icewind dale skillbar+ diablo health/mana orbs = diablo 3.

icewind dale is just an 'released before wow' example. im sure there are laods of other games that have simmilar interface that were released BEFORE wow. i dont really understand what YOU dont understand in this argument.
i dont see how would you think differently in this case, because you have icewind dale yourself.
why do you conclude that d3 is a fail? troll more.

whats this ps1 have to do with this discussion?
every game is hacked to death, diablo is no exception. however blizzard got so much experience from wow that i doubt we gonna see massive cheating/hacking in diablo3.

ps2? stop trolling.

I don't really see a problem with the D3 interface. Looks more like D2 (minus graphics) than WoW. I guess if you look for similarities between the two you would find it since they are in similar genres, but that really doesn't say anything.

The new interface, it's wow-like, for instance, the wizard has some kinda of magic missiles new spell (like the wows mage magic missil spell) :D


ever heard of dungeons and dragons?

as for interface, i have no idea what are you talking about. there are two orbs that look better, diablo-like tho.
the skillbar is a way forward and again... ever heard of dungeons and dragons?
baldurs gate?
all things you mentioned were invented years before WoW.
stop seeing WoW everythere.
