Diablo2 Sorta Gone Gold

I've gotten a few seperate reports in that the US version of Diablo2 has gone gold. Blizzard however is looking to do a worldwide simultaneous release (much like Quake3 did) and the international versions are still being worked out. It should be within a couple of weeks though is what I've been told via Blizzard. This is certainly not an official statement from Blizzard but it is on a pretty good source. (Two of them, no less). Also a couple of more RPG'ish bits for you guys: Icewind Dale screenshots , Technomage screenshots. (Thanks Blues)

  • Diablo2 has more depth with 5 classes than games with 10+ classes. It kicks the SHIT out of everquest in terms of skill variety per class, items available, and monster types. Only thing it lacks is 3243423 spells, but is 23432 spells really a GOOD thing? (example of items: D2 has what's called 'item sets'; a group of items, 3 to 6, that you collect that alone are only fairly useful, if you're lucky, but once the set is collected and worn, the modifiers get a significant bonus. Something like 20+ different item sets, each changing the look of your character according to that set. ((20 item sets, 5 characters, 80 different looks from item sets)) So.. Go play one of those 4 dark elfs in EQ)

    So much disinformation posted on this board, it's sad.

    To attack a monster, if you choose the melee route you don't spam click them. You click them once and hold it down, and you'll attack at your fastest rate possible until they're dead.

    Spells? Hotkeys available to bind a skill (yes, no more books that you can find so your level 49 warrior can also cast a level 18 firebolt) to either left or right click, then you click ONCE anywhere on the screen to shoot it. Hold down shift and you can fire without selecting a target.

    Argh, so much more to it.. Just pisses me off when reading thru the total SHIT that is being posted about the game when people haven't even played it. Check out the depth for starters at: http://www.diabloii.net/characters/
