CanuckinEdm Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Played through the beta last night for the first time, really enjoyed it. Such an awesome environment! Brings back memories of nerding out in D2 back in the day. Diablo 1 was the first game I ever bought for PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMooresBeard Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 ^ Maybe it was just me but i picked the witch doctor and could never figure out how to use a sword or any weapon ... dude would always just shoot poison darts ... Anyhoo, do we need to delete the beta before the full version comes out ? edit: ^^ NVM ... google is my friend and can delete it ... full version doesn't use it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoreanHockeyFan Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I like the removal of stats customization. It was pointless, and the system never really made to force the player to make hard decisions; it never allowed for creativity. Besides, all RPGs these days don't even have stat systems. Many people here seem to be complaining about how it has changed too much from D2. That's because it's been a whole decade, RPGs have changed, and to fit a new generation of gamers, D3 needs to compete with the newer RPGs that have completely changed and are way different than the RPGs during D2's time. As for the game itself, the beta is boring, but that how it goes for every RPG for me, the beginning is always slow, and I need to be playing with others; playing an MMO alone is just a waste of time for me. I know I'm going to be playing the Witch Doctor, and I hope it'll be fun. Then again, this game has been incredibly hyped up, and with recent games that have failed to live up to the hype such as Mass Effect 3, I hope D3 won't fall into the same ditch. But, it's Blizzard and they've been a reliable company for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanev's Smirk Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 The D2 ladder is being reset on May 2nd. I may attempt to take a passive zon through hardcore for kicks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoreanHockeyFan Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 The best thing about d2 was the ability to make 1000's of different characters you could challenge yourself or exploit perks from your gear. Now they have made 1 outcome for each character dictated mostly by gear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ẉolverine Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 1000s of different characters? Yeah, if you want 990 terrible builds. D2 was great, and it still is, but don't start arguing how it has more customization than D3. That's just plain stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanev's Smirk Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Yeah, the difference isn't as much as people are making it out to be. The only thing is I'm not sure how I feel about not needing to create more than one character of each class. For example: you can just have one Wizard but have different sets of equipment in your stash. One Wizard can be both an Arcane Wiz and a Cold or Lightning Wiz because it's so easy to exchange your items and change up your skills. My characters won't really "feel" unique, I guess. Not a big deal, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ẉolverine Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 For hardcore players it would be stupid to not have more than one character of each class. There's no point trying a new build with your main toon only to have them iced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
