if u like D2 & LoD, you will find D3 & RoS rather bland.

speaking of which i am a massive D2 fan, and bought the D3 & RoS just last week. i found that D3 is no where near D2.

as i am only in act 2 normal. im may not be the right person to judge the game, its too early. yet so far, i hardly find anything that is much interesting or as intoxicating as D2.

the game lobby is shit, u cant see the other gamers, u cant find their games listed in the lobby like D2, the only way you find someone to play with is all by chance. u can hardly meet other gamers unless u join a chatroom. or u have them added to your friend list.

Characters are silly, the chinese kungfu monk & indian voodoo WD are exact dupes of the street fighter characters. but the barb, DH(zon), wiz(mage), crusader(paladin) are very much the same as D2.

no more stat allocation, u will find everyone of the same class identical. u cant make a str mage or a dex barb or an int assassin where u will find in D2.

skills unlock when u lvl. no skills point allocation hence lack of flexibility; and worst still not energize. these does kill the fun as you cant create a whole new char with drastic skills set according to your liking, but u only allowed to tune here & there making it marginally better than the others.

storyline is linear, yet dull. close to what u found in D2 storyline, only add some ketchup and chili to spice it up.

weapons & eq are ok, but i hate they added stupid items like the hamburger weapon. to me this ruined the game. making it no difference than the chinese & korean mmorpgs.

cow level is a joke (im not sure if thats the cow lvl, i might be wrong) i found toons like carebears shooting rainbow in a fairy land. OMG this i totally puke. how can blizzard made a horror/gothic rpg with 3 years old girly stuffs in it?

sorry for the rants, but thats what i feel after playing for a week. If u are expecting something like D2, sorry u will be disappointed. blizzard is no longer the blizzard like 10-20yrs ago. it is now activision....

the only motivation to keep me playing is my nostalgia inherited into the earlier Diablo sequels. the problem with me & many other D1 D2 fans is our expectation is roof high on D3. orelse we might find it an ok game but not decent.

if u can wait, G2A.com is having weekly sale on fri/sat/sun. i bought D2 +RoS for US$50 = RM160. big saving compared to blizz store or local retail. but its a Polish website so you know the risk, so far their rating is quite good.

well rm160 is not very expensive, the initial launching price was 2x or 3x higher. incase u decide to join us, add me Yamato#1197

goodluck and enjoy the game.
