Don't you think this is the biggest problem we have in Malaysia right now?

If you live in KL, the Internet connection quality is still acceptable.

If you are like me living in Seberang Perai, home town in Kedah, then I can guarantee that you won't be able to play even a single session on battlenet.

Blizzard is taking a bad move trying to force the "No LAN to curb piracy" talk down their customers throat when they are just trying to promote Battlenet and maybe charge a monthly subscription fee to use in the future just like what Microsoft is doing on the Xbox.

Also, why do I have to learn to look for servers to host my game when I'm playing with my friends and brothers in the same house?

A single copy pirated does not equal to a single sale lost and pirates will keep pirate with or without LAN as long as the single player is still playable, that is the fact.

Why I know? Because I played a pirated copy Diablo 2 for years without even playing multiplayer. I too torrent games to try it before I make a purchase.

See you cant really make a direct comparison like saying a mage can make the same amount of damage with both magical and physical attack. A mage will never be able to land a physical hit like a warrior without making adjustments that will affect their magic attacking abilities. A glass cannon fodder mage will not have the resilience of a tanking warrior because he has not invested as much points in vitality and defense as a warrior tank would have. This new changes are supposed to be more role/build friendly (high crit or damage build, pvp high resilience build etc) rather than the old system which was more class archtype based i.e. mana or dex or strength class types. In the old system, a lot of the stats are near useless to certain archtypes. Strength in particular was only used to meet certain gear requirements, and then it becomes completely useless. Now if defense is required to unlock armor, its not completely useless even after you have unlocked that particular armor. It still provide some benefits to your character.

Guess this game gonna be a surewin.. Even jack sparrow will buy this game .. Any news on the Edition we have? Collector's Edition won't be more RM1K i hope.. lol
