In my opinion I am glad D3 doesn't look like this. Yup, that's why we all love it. It reminds us of the good old D2 game but rather an improvement from D2 instead of a whole new game that doesn't remind many of us of D2 more than the name and probably the final boss in Diablo 3. | ||

This method saves extraneous mouse clicks.I'd say using skills in D2 is almost the same as using skills in say SC2. Pressing 'F' for fungal, then pressing the mouse button to choose where to place a skill is identical to pressing 'A' for the Blessed Hammers skill then clicking your mouse button to cast it.

I am getting mixed up because there was actually no hotkeys at all at one point. Before 1.07 which was where I spent much of my time, Hotkeys were not even available at all for skills. Yes they added it, but it was a while later, and like I said, only swaps the skill as opposed to instantly casts it.Ummm, no you can re-bind the hotkeys to something more effective quite easily... On August 08 2011 14:58 iCanada wrote: Diablo 3 has 6 active skills, and three passive increases you can use at any given time. That is about the same as your average Hammerdin uses at any given time during gameplay. Hell, I already listed them all... Hammers, Charge, Concentration, Vigor, Teleport, and Redemption is easily manageable with some practice really. And that is comabt skills only... completely ignoring using Heart of the Oak, Battle Orders, Battle Command, Shout, and Blessed shield to buff yourself before action starts. What I was disagreeing to was only being able to display 2 skills to use, and not having them easily accessible. Diablo 2 has many many skills you can potentially use at a time, far more than 6, just wasn't necessarily viable, and very often many casual players would use far less than 6, more like 2 or 3 aside from some buffs. As I also mentioned, the fact that some abilities could only be bound to the left or right mouse button was also dumb. | ||

Personally I enjoyed the game for it's multiplayer. Many people said they loved the single player, but it was not something I found to be particularly great. It's your call... I don't know if you'd be like me and be impartial or ambivalent to the SP, or be like someone else and really love the SP. It's not dark at all like Diablo, but IMO that doesn't affect how good a game is at all. It's really light-hearted with a small bit comedy, even. The singleplayer is worth a run-through of the game for sure. I barely got to play much multiplayer (and every bit of it was fun), but the single player isn't bad at all and provides pretty good replay value (each of the 3 classes has unique areas branching from the main storyline). I thought Nox in terms of design outdid D2 in a lot of ways, there were more interesting effects and enemies, a wider range of skills, and i quite liked the control interface. | ||

You will all be playing D3 when it comes out... simple as that... Blizzard is Blizzard after all and their games are by far the best in the industry Good luck to the developers and congrats to them for the f2p aspect, but f2p always bring more "bad" players to the mix.Anyways, hope you enjoy the game til d3 launches. | ||

I gotta admit I have tried all of their games but only played two of them after the first month of testing. WoW (imo the best game ever made, omg I said that here on a Starcraft site  and SC2. Yeah I never liked BW *putting on flametent and hiding* )I have looked forward Diablo 3 ever since the announcement because I have to admit, I like the shiny graphics and having a hard time finding time to play with hardcore guilds in WoW I liked the idea of being able to play through the content by myself and with two of my friends. I don't like the RMAH, the principle of involving money in game, but tbh don't care so much either. That's not a reason for me to not play D3. However the lack of ladder in PvP was the final nail in the coffin which is the reason I am here in PoE thread. I absolutely loved/love the arena in WoW. I don't care about the imbalance. I reroll chars/my team changed composition on regular basis with patches but there is something in that arena that we all came to love. The whole reason for me raiding in WoW was to get gear for arena / needed a good mix of PvP/PvE gear. I even started to play WoW in BC when I heard about the arena. If D3 ever adds ladder back to D3 I will buy D3 INSTANTLY. Until then I can only hope and play PoE where the ladder system and leagues seems awesome. I really hope there will be a good amount of PvP players in beta (I am trying to get in also) so that we can at least make ourselves heard. | ||

It will be a good way to introduce myself to the hack and slash genre, since I've never played any. Goig to buy D3 thought, even with the real money auction it looks a really good game. | ||

I could think your just a fanboy who see the world only like he want to see it. One single guy who lost is independent mind. But in fact this is what bliz thinks too and this is the reason for there fail... If you check the both games careful the options the functions and the gameplay you can say that in every point this game sounds better and more professional than d3. If its really better we will see by playing both betas. I see a big chance that many d3 player come over to this game after they tested the beta. Its not about hating bliz or want to punish them. The question is : Which one is more fun to play? | ||
