if anyone needs, there is a walkthrough here:

Diablo 3 Walkthrough 

I am gonna play Witch Hunter

Althrough will also try the Monk and Barbarian

It's been downloading and playing the awesome Tristram remix. I can't wait! I'm going to play the Wizard and Demon Hunter.

Can someone help me to understand what it is about D3 that makes it so popular?

I've never played any of the Torchlight or Diablo games and to be honest, the gameplay footage doesn't look very appealing. In fact, it's hard for me to tell any of these games apart at first glance. 

What am I missing?

I've played Diablo since 1996, so some of it might be nostalgia for me. At the time, it was "different" in that it was a dark fantasy setting and one of the first "loot" games there was where you could spend a lot of time mindlessly clicking and getting items to develop your character.

Also at the time, it was one of the first games with significant voice acting that I played. There were no dialogue options or anything, but some of the voice acting was well done (with others being done very poorly). The story overall was mature and interesting to me.

MMOs were not big at the time, so Diablo had a large in-game community and I made a lot of Diablo friends. People made clans and kept in touch via e-mail.

I don't know if any of this will carry over today, or if by today's standards the gameplay will be tired, but I'm still excited. It also helps that Diablo fans have waited 10+ years for a sequal, so there was tons of time for interest to grow.

Probably a Barbarian, Monk or Wizard first.

I usually like to do a powerful brawn class first and I've always loved Barbarian in Diablo games. Monk was melee but he felt very unique in the beta. Apparently Barbarians get the highest magic find too, unless Blizzard changed that. But can't help but getting worried playing a Barbarian will be a balance problem on Inferno. Melee classes always get the shaft on harder difficulties. They're the first in the conflict and the first to get destroyed lol...

I miss a Paladin or Amazon...seriously. I hope their first expansion brings one of those back. Or a Assassin. Don't suggest Demon Hunter...I didn't like the way they played in beta...

Paladain, Druid and Necromancer are coming back in an expansion. You heard it here first!

Witch Doctor? Demon Hunter? 

Still can't decide what to start with. Leaning towards Wizard. Or Witch Doctor. Or Demon Hunter.

I usually always roll Paladin class when possible.. sad to see that it's not an option. I'm not buying Diablo III on release day, but, when I do, I think I'll go... Barb? Not too sure. I haven't gotten my hands on a demo, and I've had some friends tell me barbs are a bit boring.

[Malanek]

Monks are most like Paladins from a game play perspective. Probably from a lore perspective as well although the armour looks quite different.

Abandon your hopes about  paladin, amazon or necromancer because we have monk(and templar), demon hunter(and scoundrel) and witch doctor.

Im guessing a rogue type melee character and something similar to druid shapeshifter.


Edit: BTW how many D3 threads we have

3 hours in with Barbarian at the moment, too early to judge it but i've had fun so far.

[Sajji]

Diablo 3's atmosphere is nothing like 2.

What a shame. I'm not buying this game.

Barbarians "feeling" is so powerfull that you feel the force of his blows and grass/vegetation beneath his feet move with every hit.
I really have no love for fighter type characters but had a blast with playing Barbarian in beta.

You can say anything about D3 (and some of the concerns are valid) but this game is helluva fun.

Yeah exactly it's really addictive and i have to admit i've got a fondness for leap, just jump up and crash down on foes is really damn satisfying, can't wait to unlock whirlwind though.

I want to get this game, I really do. But there's a lot of business practices and decisions I just can't agree to at the moment. The main being constant online connection (for a single player game...why?)

Apparently people are struggling to log on at the moment because of server maintenance or sever full capacity or something related to servers. Is this where games are heading? Where we have to wait for the privilege of playing a game (and a single-player at that) that people just spent £40/$60 on?

Guess I'll wait for the price to fall a bit I guess.

For ME Diablo 2 never was a single player game. I played it once offline and moved then into the closed battle net.
I can understand Blizzards decision to limit play to the imho "best way possible" but I also understand people that would like to play it offline.
Also I guess the server problems will be more or less a one time issue caused by 2 Million people loggin in at the same time. I only got in 40 minutes after start ^^.

Stayed up until 2 in the morning for this event and I canceled all commitments today. But I can't login...servers are being destroyed right now. Why doesn't Blizzard ever learn to put a queue login system into their games? That way people can't spam the login. Each time somebody does that, it's like a extra person hitting the login and it isn't necessary. =(

I hope it isn't like this when I wake up tomorrow.

@the persona asking about internet connection. Is that a big deal since you're always connected? It's a necessary sacrifice to prevent the problems Diablo 2 had. By putting everything on a server, this game won't be hacked within 2 days. No more duping or hacking items. Nothing is clientside anymore.

im going to comment on server queue with a screenshot from WoW

[deuce985]

Forcing you into a queue is a better system because each time somebody spams the login, that's extra workload on the authenticator. If I spam it 50x in a few seconds...that's 50 extra people trying to login. They should put it to where you press login once, doesn't authenticate, you're in a queue...the login would go much faster and smoother that way. You will have to wait...obviously but at least it cuts down on the time instead of relying on pure luck.

It makes me wonder, Blizzard is one of the companies that have a great server handling experience and they still fail. How can they cannot be prepared is beyond my understanding.

I mean lets say 3 million people spammed log in yesterday/today. Thats 1/3 of wows population and not of 3 millions spamed at same time. Asia started 6-7 hours before Europe.

[MDT1]

The problem is that under normal circumstances the login servers would have to log in a few thousand players at the same time, not a million or so. I guess we wont see those problemse once everybody logs in on a normal schedule.

Also I don't think that once logged in, diablo (or better the battle net) servers can be full as you don't log into "one" server, it will be the same as SC2, where I at least can't remember serious issues or waiting times after day one.
