I honestly think they really fucked up with the runes. I believe it was supposed to replace items having skill modifiers by making those skill modifiers an item in themselves. But searching for them wasn't fun and it just completely devalues standard items. So they gave them away for free - making acquiring them boring - and left the standard items still devalued.
wasnt boring, you actually got A THING at every level (except like one I think) some of it was lame but like nillo said some of it completely changed your spells. The runes were cool, but the fights themselves (beyond your first WHOA IM STRONG moments) are lame. OH NO A EXPLODY GUY we are all dead again. why couldnt we kill the explody guy |

You can do Act 4 pretty quickly. I quite enjoyed the Diablo fight, my team was bloody useless so it felt pretty epic reviving my constantly dying comrades.
I did really enjoy my first play through. I'm mostly pissed about the replay value. I only liked the DH class. Witch Doctor is crap compared to the Necromancer and the other classes I found pretty dull. In Nightmare I'd ran out of new powers to unlock and had ten more levels of runes I didn't give a shit about to grind through. Items weren't going to give me new mechanics, just slower or faster of the same old. I felt cheated.
It's like the same issue I have with WoW. I find the entry point really entertaining and then you've got this grind till it apparently gets good again.

I really like the Rune system and going from the "endless respecs" to Torchlight 2 felt kinda off. I found a sick gun but hey I can't use it because I put points into hammers, not guns. Whups. D3 circumvents that by making Respecs fairly easy.
I think with T2 it would be good if they just added two skill saves, just like WoW. That way I can spec one this way and one another way. Maybe make it so you can only switch in town at a dude and doing so breaks any buffs you have. That way there's a risk to it.

Diablo 3 is getting better and better with all these patches. They are also very good at keeping people in the loop and aware of their thought process, it is really awesome to read their blogs on diablo3 dot com

Shame they had the audacity to shit talk about how amazing Diablo3 was when it was released when its taken months of community feedback and patches to get it to state where its at the level people expected.

I logged in to play earlier, and it was even easier. They changed lightning armor so that whenever I walked by enemies, they'd die in one shot, I didn't even have to click them. After wasting another one of the act 3 bosses in about 1/2 a second, I uninstalled D3 from my computer. :| (and I got the new MtG:2013 game to pass time instead) |

Depening on where you left, better Legendary and Set items, some nerfs/buffs on both character and enemy sides, Monster Power Level system similar to "Player 8" command in D2 (on MP10 Inferno enemies have 3439% health and deal almost 400% more damage, so Castle is posting bullshit), Infernal Machine, a end-game content where you fight buffed versions of bosses in duos, mainly to get resources to craft unique Ring etc. Definitely going in good direction. |

Those are all awesome things. But being one who didn´t get the game, it does nothing about the stuff that made me lose interest in the first place. No offline, WoW graphics, no penalty for dying etc. All that stuff that has been discussed to no end. But yeah, i can´t see that i will get the game anytime soon but they seem to be making alot of good changes based on users. But will it be enough, ba-bada-ba-baaoo... |

Yep, they are definitely aiming those patches at existing user-base, changing stuff that mostly affects Inferno players like Monster Power, Paragon Levels, the Uber bosses etc.

tbh i don't like the more generic "high fantasy" aesthetic either. the first 2 games' trashy horror/fantasy mix was a lot more fun.

I would argue that the graphics stayed relatively true to Diablo 2. Diablo 1 not so much. The tone is very different though, and not something I liked. The ambiguity of angels is completely lost, and instead it's "lol heaven vs hell"

It's clear that "everyone's a jerk" but only through what people say, the actual player never has to confront how shitty the angels are, because the game pulls its punches (for the expansion)

Yeah, at best you see Imperius being somewhat of a jerk, with all other named angels being okayish.
Personally, withjout the Worldstone, I totally hoped a Heaven vs Hell full scale war, with Sanctuary as the battleground, with humans and nephalem vying for survival in a totally devastated world. Instead we got a heap of shit.

Also, hardcore mode, for those who think durability loss is not enough of a punishment for dying  And ilvl 63 items are bitch when it comes to repairing. |

Still not tried hardcore mode. My internet connection isn't reliable enough, I died about 50 times from lag on Act 1 Normal.
