Still, Diablo III was so incredible bad on release, I don't want to buy this expansion but I probably will. Blizzard did so much shit right in the past that I just have to buy all their major titles. I feel you bro, same here. Even how shitty D3 became eventually I have to buy all Bliz games, calls me Bliz fan boy but they have earned the best from D1 to War3. SC2 is fine. D3 was okay. I just really think that people expect more since the old games SCBW, D2 and War 3 are so great. D2 exceeded D1. War 3 exceeded War 1 and 2 (Ofcourse!), But this was because the technology was too far off XP to 98. But see SC2, it is hard to exceed BW, yes they fixed the shitty stuff but it caused it to be a totally fast paced different thing. Now we see D3, too easy compared to D2. It seems D3 was made for AH purposes (lets make moneey!!). I wonder if they made it to perma stats customization if people would still complain. Maybe tehy would but it would take them too damn long to find out as they need to reach level 60 and compare, convince themselves build X is overpowered. I really hope they would bring back the real time PvP thing. That is all that matters to people who play and compete with friends. | ||

Still don't like the how they handle items though ... Legendaries stop being Legendaries if you only wear Legendaries before even reaching max level. But maybe it is time to go a level higher and make Seraph class weapons, that maybe drop once every 100 hours or are crafted out of the magic left overs of 100 Legendaries. Crusader getting jump is funny though. But I guess you need those skills to make them fast at farming. | ||

No thanks. Also, D2 xpack = 2 brand new classes. D3 xpack = revamped paladin. | ||

No thanks. Also, D2 xpack = 2 brand new classes. D3 xpack = revamped paladin. they never said "soon", loot 2.0 has always been scheduled for the end of the year (so early 2014 by Blizzard standards). Nothing has changed in that regard, loot 2.0 and Paragon 2.0 will be in a pre-expansion patch. | ||

The problem are items themselves. All you want on your certain gear parts is main stat/vitality/all resistance/CD/CC/AS. And that's it. It's cool, they are adding one possible stat which buffs some skills in particular and allows more build diversity but that's pretty much it. And it is not enough. Itemization is pretty dull and these changes will have a very minor impact. You can't compare D3 items with items you had in Diablo 2 (the uniques and runewords). Other things are looking a lot better (especially the story line and a new villain) and at last D3 is improving. Although, the skill system seems quite underwhelming as well. | ||

On top of that the total lack of PvP is not to be underrated. I bought diablo3 knowing that they don't have a PvP system at launch (where no one cares about PvP anyways), but also knowing that they will add one (after already showing the Arena gameplay). PvP in itself adds a lategame quality that is now totally missing. But not only lategame (well it inclues lategame) but it also gives some rare earlygame items insane value for level 9/19/30 etc PvP. Playing the game is fun for a while, and the new add on will be certainly fun for a playthrough as well, especially with the new character class, but since the core issues (for me) are still not solved this doesn't help much. Somehow it feels blizzard became to reliant on expansions. Starcraft + Broodwar Warcraft3 + Frozen Throne Diablo + Lord of Destruction every game was played for more than 10 years. now WoW with three (?) expansions Sc2 going to have two and D3's first expansions seems to me is going to have so little impact that most likely another one will follow (if someome still plays the game...) Regarding the story I would have thought it was much more exciting if it turned out that tyrael was betraying you, instead of beeing the ultimate nice guy, so that it would be much darker and a bit scarrier and crueler. Especially diablo 1 was quite frightening and the ending where he hammered the soul stone in his head was sick, and in diablo2 where baal faked to be tyrael and killed his follower, or alone the opening sequence... Yes I was much younger, but also on an objectiv level I think diablo 1/2 where scarrier, crueler, darker than diablo3. Aye, these things bothers me :D | ||

Not that D2 wasn't great, but it's funny how people forgot so much of the bad parts, or maybe never experienced them. That's kind of the thing with these really old, long-lived games. When/how exactly did you play it? I played D2 at launch until a few months after LoD on closed bnet. After that I just played every now and then as a weekend lan-party with friends. Totally different experiences, and the game changed immensely during that time too. Now we see D3, too easy compared to D2. It seems D3 was made for AH purposes (lets make moneey!!). It may surprise you to know that D3 has an AH because people still playing D2 wanted something in-game where they couldn't get ripped off / could get to quicker than using 3rd party sites. Personally, I thought D3 was about as hard as D2 (the added resistances always messed me up in the higher difficulties cuz I guess I chose crappy builds), but in the other thread someone was saying D3 was harder than D2 because that was also feedback from the D2 community during development (remember 1-shot Inferno? not the right way about doing difficulty imo...). I really hope they would bring back the real time PvP thing. That is all that matters to people who play and compete with friends. See this is what I mean about different experiences: I only flipped my PvP switch on once - when my friend wanted to change followers, so I volunteered to kill his current one for fun. Other than that, I mostly wished there was no go-hostile mode... public games where a lvl 90 would show up to a normal mode game and turn part of the map off-limits were not fun. Most of my Bnet days were spend either in different boss run games or in a private game so gankers couldn't find me. | ||

Making it so that when I kill things, Hydras spawn sounds pretty awesome, assuming the chance isn't ungodly low. Definitely a step up from the first Legendary update.. Or getting a Spirit refund for Dashing Strike (which I use quite a bit) at long range. That item also had an affix which reduces Cooldowns. We didn't see much new in the way of affixes from the small demonstration yet (totally intentional) so I'm looking forward to that discussion later. I think that's a step in the right direction. It's also nice that all legendary items can be found at all levels, so there should be some nice variety there. The addition of Loot Runs and Nephalem Trials adds the much needed element of randomness, without detracting from what they want to do with the campaign. And now we have stat points. And what's great about that is that you can allocate points to more than just the 4 main stats. However, I have a question about this one. I get that I have 200 stat points if I have 200 paragon levels. Does each character I have get their own 200 stat points, do they all share the stat points with each other, or are some shared and some not? | ||

But I am hopeful now, because the lead designer of D3 moved on and I'm not sure who he was replaced by, but there is potential for a new direction. Maybe the story is improved too? I would say that overall its still probably going to be worth the money. And although the auction house probably does ruin the game a bit, I still found it to be a lot of fun to use as a casual gamer. | ||

The unlimited paragon is quite popular over at /r/Diablo and with Moldran. What issue do you have with it? | ||
