Areas in d2 that you would like to see in d3

They did it in diablo2, you were able to go back to tristram. And of course we all know we are going back to tristram in d3.

But is there any other areas that were solely in d2 that you would like to see revisited...save hell.

arcane sanctuary, with new decor and wider walkways.

The mummy tombs from a2 are cool as well.

river of flame, chaos sanctuary, and lut gholein are my favs personally.

NONE OF ACT 3. AT ALL. GOOD LORD I HATE THAT ENTIRE ACT >_<

Mount Arreat. One of my fav places in D2. And ofc Rogue encampment.

The Maggot Lair.

But seriously, I always want to go to tristram. It looks like they did it justice in D3 so I'm already happy. I always hated the arcane sanctuary, even with a lightning sorc. It's always the last branch I go to.

I don't know...there really weren't any horribly memorable locations in D2 that I would want to see again, besides maybe the royal palace in lut gholein. That was a beautiful building, even in crappy 2d.

Id like to see the Rogue Encampent / Blood Moor in D3.
maybe as the new joke level but filled with evil rouges with Akara as the boss!

I quite enjoyed the Kurast area, perhaps they could expand on some of the ruined temples there?

Tristram should be interesting, I doubt that the Rogue (not rouge) Encampment would still be around but perhaps if someone would be kind enough to give me directions to Charsi's place.... grin.

Didn't the whole of Mt, Arreat turn inside out (i.e. a massive crater)? That's the reason the Barbarians have gone nomadic; There's no Mt. Arreat to protect.
Going to that crater could be nice, though. Ct. (or Cr.) Arreat anyone? :)

Re: Areas in d2 that you would like to see in d3

i see some ppl want to go to the rouge encampment but since the rouges got their monastery back i do´nt think it´s still there. If it´s still there then maybe the have built aa small village there.

Revisited places i want:Arcane Sanctuary
The Chas Sanctuary(not facing Diablo)
Harrogath and some northern places, i´ve always liked snow:thumbup:
At least pass through Lut Gholein
See what happend to Kurast
The worldstone Chamber post explosion:whistling:

Arcane Sanctuary would be awesome if it's largely ruined with some vestiges of the magic remaining and it had 'crashed' in the desert or something.

Act 3 was an awesome tileset despite being largely rather irritating, I'd like to see it return. The jungle is one of the most atmospheric areas of D2.

I don't doubt somewhere like Harrogath will have been invaded and become the lair of an act boss and I look forward to it. An enlarged corrupted Pandemonium Fortress area could be incredible.

Maybe when we visit Tristram this time we can take Wirt's arm.:)

Re: Areas in d2 that you would like to see in d3

The Arcane Sanctuary won't be able to pull off the same look - It's an optical illusion unique to 2-D viewing, a 3-D engine can't pull it off unless the camera was locked. Would be interesting to see what direction they take it, if it returns.

I doubt we'll see a lot of the same areas as d2, but in the spirit of the thread I'll say that I always liked the Barracks/Jail/Catacombs. The hidden passageways were always intriguing to me, and it always seem to have a good flow to it. It never felt like you hit a long dead end, because the ends curled around to let you fight back along another path.

Also, City of the Damned is a highly under-appreciated area.

I would like to see Lut Gholein and Kurast again.

and perhaps another journey back to tristram, only more expansive. D2 didnt let you go very far. i want to go back into the tristram depths again.

I'de love to see the Chaos Sanctuary revisited. In a beautiful spectacle of 3D display. Atmosphere dark and gritty, fiery and hopeless. Seeing the kind of hellspawn that would come out of that.

Just imagine, like in the game play trailer how the Barb walks onto the first platform, and is immediately approached by ghouls.

In the chaos sanctuary, the Barb walks a few steps forward, only to be approached by a hulking horror of muscle and teeth-of-diablo. Hellbent on cracking your little Barbarian head.

It's still possible, really. Most games, if not all, use 2D sprites every now and then (less resource drain).

Re: Areas in d2 that you would like to see in d3

kurast!! yes, i hated that crappy river u followed the first 3 areas too and the act3 sewers really pissed me of but damn kurast had some awesome athmosphere! it hat the coolest respawn-city, the coolest quest icons, the coolest npcs (i loved how ormus talked) and ofc the coolest endboss :) love that guy

i think i am one of the few who wouldnt want to go back to the arcane sanctuary, cause i didnt like its style in the game nor its style in the book...

hmm... ah yeah the areat summit was awesome, u felt like the emperor of the world over there xD the only way we could visit it is by finding some part of it lying somewhere arround the crater xDD

The first room you going into before the first level of the countess tower. They could expand upon that, maybe a mirror or a window perhaps. :p

Exactly. The camera locked (as it gather it will be in Diablo 3 aswell)
