World of Diablo

[SolidSamurai]

This is a fun and games thread similar to the one revolving around World of StarCraft.

This is a 'what if' thread. The purpose of it is to speculate on what a Diablo mmo could have to offer.

NOTE: I'll slowly compile the ideas that we agree fits together.

It would have demons in it, i guess... And every time you kill Diablo you get 20 gold, and then he becomes your pet.

lol.

I'm just not sure what to say, I don't really want a "World of Diablo" MMORPG-like game.

It's just, gah.

Goes against my diabloness >:\

I'd have to agree with Neo. I like Diablo just the way it is. :)

Neo - Good to see you again. ;)

Not necessarily a WoW clone. It could be an attempt at a new direction in the mmo market.

Like RT combat (press a button to swing mah sword, or leap from that wall, or climb that curtain, or crawl under that iron spike field platform to get to the tunnel grate in the floor), 100s of levels worth of the largest dungeons, many many dungeons, traps, endless enemies, puzzles, minigames, etc. Also your character could fight anyone and travel beyond sanctuary, because chaos beyond diablo has pretty much been let loose.

'Heaven vs Hell' means for a fair scale of pvp and guild competition. Also, there'd be new bosses and mobs all the time interchanging locations, as well as powerful roaming demons of various sizes and shapes that might hunt you down if you have a low enough rep with certain npcs or 'factions' or whatever.

There'd also be like 40 classes with prerequisite advanced ones alot later, and perhaps even epic classes. Alignment also means your character could be evil.

Anyway, that's just a roughly thought out cheesey sample. You guys could do a lot better if you tried. So let's get some ideas. Don't let WoW cloud your judgement. WoW's stupid.

I guess I don't really know what they could throw in it to make it a little different. I mean, I've never played WoW but I have seen a little bit of Guild Wars been played; so I don't exactly know the elements of a game like that. Basically what we are doing here is "Nerfing" the game.. If they did come out with another Diablo of any sort, I think they need to make the economy a little better. Gold means nothing in that game because its so easy to come by. It'd also be pretty cool if they gave more freedom when it came to playing through different areas of the game. And some hills and valleys would be nice. I played Dungeon seige way back in the day, and I loved those graphics. I think any new Diablo would be nice if Blizzard would do something like that.

I don't exactly want to change the game play features.. there are just a few things I wouldn't mind nerfing and some more features, flexibility and freedom. :)
