I'm up late writing a paper about Alfred Hitchcock. And I'm booooooooored. Someone post something. We got beers if you're old enough, coffee if you aren't, smooth jazz and big recliners. Cigars available by request.

I'll start the discussion. Some people on the WoW d3 forum are complaining that the Witch Doctor is the "Jar Jar Binks" of Diablo. They find the concept silly and have declared they had enough voodoo with the Warcraft Trolls. Thoughts?

The witch doctor is like George Kaplan. When you realize not just the connection, but the implications of their foundations as characters, then you will understand not but Diablo, but life itself.

Q u o t e:

Is the spider spell still in?

Corpse Spiders! Yeah.

What do y'all think about line of sight being brought back? I already know the answer, thought I'd ask anyway.

To clarify, in all versions of Diablo III that has been shown or seen publicly, all monsters are viewable on screen at all times regardless of what your actual character could possibly see. So if a door is closed, you could still see the skeletons waiting for you on the other side. This brought a small amount of critique a while ago but never really became a huge complaint.

Somewhat recently we've been trying out the line of sight mechanic (maybe also called fog of war by some). It's not dependent on light radius, it's simply what's blocked by geometry. It introduces all sort of technical issues for us, not that they're insurmountable, but it's something we're playing around with.

I think a lot of the people on this forums sort of lean toward the "D2.5" preferences so I kind of meant it as a rhetorical question.
