In Diablo2 when you got to the upper levels and specially in the Hell World things got really tough , from Act I to Act II in Hell there was such a huge difficulty level that players could not simply pass through . They were forced to do Baal runs until they got to a certain level so their skills could match the power creatures on the map .
Some people got annoyed by this and have appealed to Blizzard to get this “fixed” in Diablo3
I agree , the increase in difficulty should be graduate and natural , players should feel good when playing a certain level , not gypped .

A player must not be forced to do hundreds of boss runs to get to a level where he can enter a map confident that he will not die in the first encounter . I am not talking about making things easy (that would not be in the Diablo spirit) but more natural and uniform

And another thing , the immunities .

Some think they should be removed completely from the game because they can cause the game to slow down and even halt for some players.

You can have an almost perfect character , but if you encounter a double imunity monster you be in deep trouble. Diablo 2 was very strict in this area and if you did not have a mercenary with you or another player in cooperation your game progress was in danger of being stopped

So , fans have sent a petition to Blizzard to eliminate them , or at least create the ability to create different ways to get by

I love it when game developers interact with the fans and Blizzard knows how to do this very well . They are the masters of hype
On the Blizzard Podcast site you can hear the developers speak on what we all love – the games .
They speak about Starcraft II , World of Warcraft and of course : Diablo 3. They speak about new races , the game world and what is important – the game release dates and the overall progress

Also you can download the episodes to listen when you wish

I am still waiting for a podcast on the races in Diablo III 🙂
Hang on fans !

“I came to see firsthand the barbarians, those near-legendary, immense, relentless, dual-wielding furies of combat dwelling upon their sacred Mount Arreat.”

One of the most loved characters in Diablo 2 comes back with more power than ever .
They protect the sacred Mount Arreat , this is their duty and they stand by it
They believe that if they are not buried properly or they don’t protect the mount they will be dishonored and the spirit will roam the land for eternity .

Unfortunately the home of the Barbarians was destroyed at the end of Diablo2 and they scattered , no one knows if they still exist as a race and that would be very sad indeed.
The loss of Mount Arreat was a crushing blow for the barbarians .

In Diablo III we will be able to play with this character and as we saw from the trailers it will be mind blowing . Blizzard was able to take the barbarian to the next level and enhance every skill
Among the abilities we can see :

• cleave
• ground stomp
• leap
• sesmic slam
• whirlwind

We can clearly see from the Gameplay video that this is one powerful character and if used correctly nothing can stand in his way
This reminds me a bit of the Necromancer from Diablo 2 .. oh the power you had with the minions , the golems and the curses
Not sure if i will play this character first but it is on the ToDo list for sure
