Maybe you're not familiar with the Diablo franchise.

Diablo 1/2 are awful, user unfriendly linear games with a community full of scammers, cheaters and assholes, and the entire thing combines to be incredibly fun and addictive.

This is like complaining that there's not enough wholesome/kid-friendly stuff to do at a dog racing track.

Quit trolling you know nothing about d1 or 2 i can tell they were awesome and d3 is going to be the shit the only reason d2 started getting full of scammers and dumb bots is because they would rather waste time on making 414830498 WoW games instead of doing something worth while WoW has always been stupid and always will be its just their cash cow that people for some reason pay to play.

Its like you are blind or something.

HE SAID IT WAS FUN AND ADDICTIVE.

The D3 universe looks extremely small compared to the D2 universe. D2 acts I, II, IV, and V were all quite large.

All the instances I've seen of D3 are all "hallway like". I don't really like this new design but I hope it doesn't take away from game play.

I was never a big fan of the openess of D2. D1 had a claustrophobic feel to it that matched its atmosphere. You basically were underground all by yourself going deeper and deeper into hell.

Spot on. My main dislike about D2 is the lack of large scale dungeon other than say, the forgotten tower or the catacombs in A1. D1 felt like a descent into hell, but the gameplay was a bit limited. D2 improved upon that by bringing skilltrees, runewords, socketing, item procs and a very wide array of weapons and mods. etc.

D3 will be another step forward. People expecting a massive overhaul of the game are naive, just like those expecting the exact same game. They will improve on what was lacking (give area of effect spells and abilities to all classes), avoid novelty or nearly useless skills that are only there for sake of filler, provide incentives to explore (quests) rather than run through ASAP since the best stuff is in the high level areas or bugged chests.

There's only so much you can improve on a basic hack and slash, it seems to me like they are doing a good job of making combat interesting and interactive rather than point and click. My only fear is that the game will be diluted and too easy to please the crappy gamers of today (99% of the wow players).

I'm sorry but you're fear that the game will be "diluted and too easy" is quite silly. Diablo 1 and Diablo 2 were quite easy to play - there was in fact no real way to fail. Making Diablo 3 not easy to play would be a massive change to the series and that's extremely unlikely.

tldr: Diablo 3 will be EASY and it has nothing to do with World of Warcraft.

Hardcore is just as easy altough the builds tend to be a bit weaker due to being forced to gear up for survival rather than 100% offense. AI is too limited in D1 and D2 to pose any threat. You can still die to a stair trap or an unlucky encounter with an extra fast/extra strong/fana aura boss pack or something similar. They can only have improved the AI in D3, and I think they made it so monsters team up or seek nearby allies when they get outmatched.

The point I'm making with the WoW playerbase, is that they expect everything to go their way, instances and raids have been consistently nerfed due to the average player being too bad to tackle them. The same playerbase will migrate or at least buy D3 so they might have the same impact upon the design of encounters. The design team has caved many times to douse the complaints.
