『快讯』亚马逊、女巫和圣骑士将绝迹于暗黑3

翻译：无尽的等待

    When Blizzard announced the first two classes in Diablo III, the Barbarian and the Witch Doctor, at least one fan of the series was taken aback by the class rehash. That would be me, for the purpose of this post.

    当暴雪宣布暗黑破坏神3最初两种职业是野蛮人和巫医的时候，至少有一个暗黑系列的粉丝被这种全新的职业设定给吸引回来了。那就是我，这也正是我写这篇文章的目的。

    After enduring such a long wait for the third Diablo installment, why resuscitate the Barbarian, when there are plenty of perfectly good fantasy game archetypes still left to explore?

    经过漫长的等待，暗黑破坏神3为何先只复兴了野蛮人？要知道还有很多完美和美妙的其他典型角色，如亚马逊、女巫、圣骑士等待我们去探索。

    Diablo III lead designer Jay Wilson says the reason is simple. The Barbarian in Diablo II could've been better. He was a bit more diplomatic in his dissing, saying that the brute force attack class had "room for improvement."

    暗黑破坏神3的设计组长Jay Wilson的回答很简单：因为暗黑破坏神2中的野蛮人可以被制作得更完美。这种敷衍了事般的回答有点太像外交辞令了...

    There's one class that definitely won't be coming back for another appearance in Diablo III. And Wilson says that it was because that class was just shy of perfectly designed.

    已经有一个职业肯定不会再出现于暗黑破坏神3了。 Wilson的解释是那个职业已经完美无瑕，完美其实本身就是重大的缺陷，因为我们已经无法再做得更好了。

    The Necromancer, he said, was simply a victim of his own success. He was just too well crafted as a character, something that Wilson's Blizzard design cohorts, current and former, likely don't mind hearing.

    “是死灵法师”他说道，“他就是因为被制作得太完美而成为了暗黑破坏神3的直接受害者，当然是相比较其他的角色而言的。我们的设计总监将他历史、现在和将来研究的非常透彻，最终做出了这样的决定。”

    Necro fans on the other hand, probably won't be too thrilled to learn of his disappearance, despite the Witch Doctor class's similarities.

    另一方面，男巫的粉丝应该不会因为这个职业的消失而紧张，因为巫医是很类似与男巫的一个职业。

    Wilson says that there are absolutely no plans to bring back any other classes, but, given that Blizzard wasn't breaking any news at Games Convention, wouldn't dish any details on what the remaining three classes will be.

    Wilson还说道，现在绝对没有任何复兴其他前作职业的计划... 当然在莱比锡，暴雪是不可能提供任何剩下三个职业的信息的。

    We have a sneaking suspicion that Blizzard will take advantage of its own event, BlizzCon, to make such an announcement. (C'mon, Bard! We really want to serenade Diablo's minions to death.)

    我们有个有趣的猜测，就是暴雪显然会利用自己的BlizzCon来宣布相关的信息。（来吧,Bard，让我们对着暗黑破坏神的仆从们一起唱毁灭之歌吧！）
