Well, my diablo crack addiction is back it seems..

I recently finally shook off the reins of my dead horse (WOW) after so long of playing it.

D2 was my god child. For me, it wasn't about the groups the teamwork, yes in a small part it was...

It was plain and simple.. all about the loot. Not that I got any loot, I wanted to see that cool item drop. If I got it cool, if not oh well I got to see it drop.

When I quit D2 i had at least 1 of every green and gold item in the game on my mules.

With them adding respecs to the game, im giddy in the fact i won't have 5 or so toons all the same class cuz i either:

1. Didn't like this end talent
2. The synergies sucked for this end talent
3. I couldn't get the one main epic item that "made" this build
4. In leveling up so fast, the fatigue caused me to slip up and put a point in the wrong tree thus killing this toon and starting over.

The addition to the rune system change was awesome. Instead of hunting down an item and either saveing a socket quest or and arm and a leg for the good item, you put it in the skill... like teleport.

Added you don't distribute attribute points. (every class gets a fixed increase at every lvl) you rely more on the items and your skills.

It always annoyed me to see a DR sorc with more str than a barb in D2. heh

5 classes are planned so far. Got a melee, two casters, so im guessing the next will be a range type like the amazon.. well outa the two that are left to show.

I just hated that in wow you had to put up with guilds get a spot in a raid, and devote your entire game experience hoarding your station in that spot lest someone else waltz in.

With D2 and hopfully D3 you just join games and do your thing.

I'm not justifying D3 will blow anything outta the water.. just saying heh.. You don't go see a Godzilla movie or a Captian America movie cuz its awesome.. you go because you love the cheezyness of it all.

In esential, a game is a time waster.. And I loved wasteing time in D2.

I've noticed on Diii.net they are hinting at a subscription to D3. In no way will this cut out the item farmers or hacks. But with all thier security there are bound to get them.

I just feel it will be a better play experience than D2 became. The only thing D2 bothered me was the drop hacks.. Hated lvling up a toon in hardcore just to have a hacked sorc drop a sword, crash my game and I die from it all.

They did say joining a game put you in the party automatically, and no way to turn PK heh or hostile. Don't know how that will work.

Also the loot system is showing each person will see loot.. thier own loot. Unlike wow where you had to actually click the body, the items drop and its up to that player to pick them up...

this cuts lag a bit.. cuz im not riddled with junk on the ground, just my junk i dont want.

On the other hand I can see joining a game and not knowing how far they are cuz there isn't any junk on the ground heh.

all in all, I'm getting it. I might not like it, might quit it after a month.. but I'll give it a go, all cuz i liked the other two.

Though, I got to admit I'll miss the dark mood set by the lightning in the previous D2, the LOTR moive lighting effect they are introducing has promise.

Also lol, the fact I can destroy the surroundings to kill mobs makes it interesting. With a wizard, keeping them in a group using teleport to lure them on then bam, a wall falls on them... hmmmm me likey

Once committed to fight, Cut. Everything else is secondary. Cut. That is your duty, your purpose, your hunger. There is no rule more important, no commitment that overrides that one. Cut. The lines are a portrayal of the dance. Cut from the void, not from bewilderment. Cut the enemy as quickly and directly as possible. Cut with certainty. Cut decisively, resoultely. Cut into his strength. Flow through the gaps in his guard. Cut him. Cut him down utterly. Don't allow him a breath. Crush him. Cut him without mercy to the depth of his spirit. It is the balance to life: death. It is the dance with death. It is the law a war wizard lives by, or he dies. Last edited by Drider_it; 10-13-2008 at 06:58 AM..
