Diablo 3 announced.

As the front-page says. So far, we know that there will be a new class, called the Witchdoctor, who can summon pets, control enemies, and cast AOE spells. Presumably, it is a male character, who somewhat resembles the witchdoctor-like creatures from Act III in the previous game. Appears to be some sort of cross between a Necromancer and a Druid. The Barbarian is returning, and he has Whirlwind, and Leap. He also has a skill where he slams the ground with his axe. This may have some effect on the environment; as he was seen knocking a wall down to kill enemies. Deckard Cain is returning, and with him were two guards which tagged along with the Barbarian for a bit. They have stated that the game is primarily co-operative; to cope, NPCs look like they might play a bigger role.

Other than that, there were some fire-dancers, dancing to some funky sort of Tristram-remix, and two bumbling presenters that, IMO, aren't doing a very good job.

Link to the main news post is here.

  • There is a "New Tristam" returning from the original (and a sneak peek in diablo II as well) games. There appears to be a new city named Caldeum.
  • Equipment is customised per character class which is quite cool so will look different on different individuals.
  • Diablo III will use Battlent.com

And something out of the FAQ's on the Diablo III site :D

Quoted

Will there be any other familiar faces in Diablo III (other than Deckard Cain)?

Yes. Players will encounter several new characters as well as a number of characters from the previous games.


This is set to be a huge game, I'm so excited about this.

Diablo Site is: http://eu.blizzard.com/diablo3/index.xml goes through old storylines and announcements of what will be involved in Diablo III.

From Diablo III FAQ's:

Quoted

Will players be able to choose the gender of their character, regardless of class? Yes. Players will be able to create male and female characters for all five classes.

'Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to greater danger. It works the same in any country.' – Hermann Goering (1893 - 1946), 2nd in command of the Third Reich
