Character Creation Screens

[Flux]

I posted them just now (http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/diablo-3-beta-character-creation-movie), with pics taken from the leaked movie, but since they're pretty, here they are.

Click them to see the larger if you want to be able to read the char descriptions. (Too wide to include full size here w/o breaking the page viewing.)

They look good. Not sure though why we need the gigantic font size on the left.

This should mean that beta servers are already up ?

Nice captures. About the font size on the left, they do look a little large but I'm thinking that also depends on the screen resolution size.

Or it might mean someone made it during the Friend and Family beta (which was during the NDA I think) and leaked them now to create confusion but the font is a bit gigantic and lacks any decoration. It's just a font which looks a bit cheap. I would've liked the D2 styled character creation.

but the build version is higher than the press pics from aug 1st

[Maurish]

but the build version is higher than the press pics from aug 1stYou're right in a way. The pictures that leaked and the pictures that were made back then have a different version.
But you can't see a build version on the character creation video which means that could still be an older video so there still is a possibility! :whistling:
Anyway, this video seems seems new with the other leaked stuff so I won't argue with you here. :nod:

Its strange that the classes don't seem to be displayed in their starting equipment, which I would have thought was a no brainer. Im more disappointed by this than the loss of the communal character creation screen.

Should of stuck with displaying all the characters and have them come out at you,I think it would remind you you were playing Diablo.A list looks overly formal and basic lacks any style.

This was a really good decision on Blizzard's part if you ask me, since this way you have a better idea of what you'll get in the long run with your class choice.

Remember, this is still a beta. The UI is definitely not finalized yet. The free floating class selection text looks like it was done in minutes (it probably was), just so that this functionality would be enabled in the game. Also, the cursor for the character naming area is off-center. I will be really surprised, if this screen will look like this in the final game.

Hmm not sure about that, its not like they even show high tier sets so doesnt really indicate that in the long term you will look like a camp transformer gypsy. Also 1 tier is hardly representative when you have 18 looks.

Id rather see the base set, it just hits home that your stating a new hero rather than a meaningless outfit.

Edit: I agree the huge blue text does look pretty cheap to me. I was expecting something a little less basic.

Splash text for each class:

Barbarian:

This stoic warrior uses tremendous physical strength to crush foes.

The Barbarian moves aggressively, unleashing a multitude of attacks on enemies.

Tough and unyielding, the Barbarian excels at close-range combat.

Fury drives the Barbarian assaults and is generated in the thick of combat by dealing and receiving damage.


Demon Hunter

Ranged weaponry and shadow manipulation make this vengeful hero an elusive stalker of demons.

The Demon Hunter uses a variety of traps and escape skills to evade the grasp of foes.

Lethal and evasive, the Demon Hunter inflicts terrible punishments on adversaries and slips out of their range before they can react.

The Demon Hunter's attacks and tactical skills are powered by the dual forces of Hatred and Discipline. Hatred is rapidly regenerated but Discipline is slowly recovered.


Monk

A holy warrior who attacks faster than the eye can follow, disabling enemies with precision blows.

Holy and elemental magic infuse the Monk with the ability to heal and to deliver crippling damage to adversaries.

Fast and agile, the Monk gets in close to enemies to execute withering attacks before quickly moving away.

The force of spirit powers the Monk's abilities. Spirit is gained through the Monk's primary attacks.


Witch Doctor

A manipulator of the forces of life and death, this unorthodox caster wields the power of nature in unsettling ways.

With a wide range of offensive spells to choose from, the Witch Doctor doesn't shirk from the fray.

A master of spirits, the Witch Doctor draws upon exotic forms of magic to summon creatures from beyond the grave.

The Witch Doctor utilizes the power of Mana to cast grim spells.


Wizard

A master of the temporal and elemental energies powering creation itself.

The Wizard can inflict, withstand and avoid damage with a vast and formidable array of directed and area spells.

Powerful but fragile, the Wizard must be cunning to survive, deflecting all manner of attacks in order to unleash frozen havoc and flaming ruin on enemies.

The Wizard draws on Arcane Power, a quickly regenerating resource, to cast spells.

Useful, thanks. It'll save someone transcribing it when we add them to the wiki.
