Yes I have to say it looks sick so far. It honestly looks alot better than I expected.... i kept fearing they were going to 1st person it or WoW it up.
You can already tell much stayed the same:
TP's
Some familiar characters (the shaman guy seems like a slightly different necro to me, the barb is not good just hope he can sheild too)
It seems they kept the way you play/host games the same!!
Some new stuff that sounds good:
even more randomly generated stuff (sounds like some of the traps and minibosses are randomly generated also)
Extra class only quests
Stuff that is more worrysome:
"All class specific items" or somethign similar was said in the gameplay video. I really hope they mean just more than in D2, not TOTALLY class specific items.... thats too much like WoW and would seriously suck.
What is up with the super huge bosses. I've never liked that in a game, it makes it really hard to see whats going on. An enemy should never be more than 2x the player's size honestly.... but it looks like "larger and larger monsters as they get tougher" is par for the course here too.... :/
I really don't like how they keep talking about simplification.... the complexity of doing anything in d2 is part of what made it awesome. Rebuilding to squeeze that last bit of dmg, or save more stats etc. really made you feel you were working to perfect your characters.
?? No health pots!!! please tell me this isn't so. One of the things I desperately do NOT want to see in D3 is the necessity of a cleric/healer for the party. Honestly that is one of the WORST things about MMORPgs, and it has NO place in diablo.
Still have charms? I remember hearing somewhere that runes/gems & sockets were kept... but charms?
Nothing was mentioned, but I hope the length of quests is atleast kinda similar. I liked D2's ability to not have to block off 3+ hours at a time to do something if you didn't want to. I mean it could take longer to lvl, MORE quests etc.... but I don't like the idea of it taking weeks of heavy play to make 1 character.
---------------------------------------------------
Finally, while some of the CGI videos are done and they had 1 quick playthrough its obvious that most of this was made for the announcement and the game is still early in development.
Still in all, its D3!!!! I'm definately going to buy it, and if its not messed up i'll be playing for a long time hopefully.

Eh, guess I can't judge this game without playing it (which will be in 1 or 1 1/2 year?).
And....it would be cool if you could choose the gender of each class (in d2, the genders are already chosen. ex. assassin = female)

they didn't say no health pots.... but they kind of implied they were gone. The guy was condescending about them when he said why that part of the user interface was replaced with skills..... they also mentioned not needing them anymore because of the occasionally dropped health things from monsters.
Health drops wouldn't be bad, but I liked being able to burn through gold to get through difficult areas if needed.... waiting on health drops isn't consistant enough.

PvP existed long before the use of charms, and it still does. Its called classic.

Haven't heard anything 110%, I did a little youtubeing and found the "diablo 3 artwork" video and i can make a fairly good guess of what the classes will be based on the artwork. Tho i may be WAY off heres my guesses...
1. barb
2. witch dr.
3. some sort of sorc or mage? ( guy right after the pic of barb and cain)
4. some type of druid? ( the 1 holding the snake, has bear claws around neck and wearing a wolf head) I'm almost 110% sure on this 1
5. some sort of dwarfish class? ( fat guy)
I see they brought back a few things from d1 aswell as d2. ( Elixers( vita and willpower), a chipped star topaz?, minor runes( 1 of power, energy, lethality) among other things.
Makes me wonder tho if theres some type of archer class or bow skills for 1 of the classes since alot of bows were dropping itemwise.

im upset there are fewer classes of characters.... I was kind of hoping for a wider variety, but this looks a lot more WoW like.
I guess blizz is trying to "Stick to what works". Im hoping your wrong Zebb about the sorc/mage and the dwarf. The sorc/mage would be like another witch dr, and the dwarf would be like a barb.
There wont be an Amazon ( because they are only females ) and i have no idea what other types of characters they will be.
Hopefully there not as lame as the 1st two revealed....

they aren't telling us yet but they're probably going to make more than 5 classes and have ~4-5 people per game maxinmum

looks like there AREN'T going to be potions :'(
It would be better if there was more people per game then the current d2...4-5 might also be kind of lame.
