I think the single most annoying thing that I am finding in many diablo 3 forums are threads about how diablo 3 is like WoW. I mean, seriously...SERIOUSLY! This is Blizzard we are talking about. Creator of epic games that have shattered records across the globe, across many different genres of gaming. Why do you have such little faith in them?
Now, many people are saying that so many elements are becoming WoWish, and maybe they are, and maybe they aren't. The point is that based on their reputation, I think we can safely say that Diablo 3 will be a really good game. SO WHAT if some elements are the same. Do you know why they are there? BECAUSE THEY WORK! Do you honestly think that the creators do not have any idea of what works and what does not when it comes to Blizzard games?
When it comes to this topic, I think we should leave the creation of the game in the hands of the experienced, and creative Blizzard employees, and not some kid at home playing WoW so much that they are really tired of it and don't want any similarities in Diablo 3 because of their WoW exhaustion. Take a break people, go outside and have a breath of fresh air.
yes, in hope that it would dissuade people from QQing more about WoW-like diablo 3. and based on your reponse, it sounds like you are one of those QQ'ers
You don't want people hopping on the bandwagon by hopping on it yourself. GREAT WORK.
Easiest remedy is to DROP THE SUBJECT and never speak of it again.
Funny that you 'got that' from my response, considering I'm far from a 'QQer' as you put it.
I think WoW is a great game, I think Diablo is a great franchise. I vastly prefer Diablo, and I have zero fears of Diablo becoming 'WoW-like' ...which is to say I'm the absolute opposite of what you seem to think I am.
My point is, if you're really upset that someone has kicked your dog, it makes you look more than slightly foolish to expound on that anger by kicking your own dog for emphasis. Is my point clear or should I move on to drawing you a picture?
I don't know what kind of half-moronic twelve year-olds you've been talking to that thik D3 will be anything like WoW. If you watch the gameplay trailer you can see it's going to implement the better UI aspects of WoW, but gameplay will remain as Diablo as you can get. A cast bar does not mean that Blizzard is as shallow and uninnovative as people may assume.
I can say that you are safe here on dfans because I haven't come across anyone else with the dilema. My recommendation is to stay on thise forums and you won't have to be tired of hearing it. There we go

Yes, we want dog kicking pictures

There are some close minded people around that think that way. Not many, though.

First, if you are as you claim "far from a 'QQer' as you put it", then you would just agree with me, and say that reading several posts about how WoW is becoming like diablo 3 is annoying. Secondly, I don't know what country you are from, but kicking dogs is just plain mean. My point is, stop trying to be more clever than you actually are by using some idiomatic expression that just sounds dumb, and involves abusing animals while trying to cover up your insecurity of diablo 3 becoming WoW. Is my point clear or should I move on to drawing you a picture?

That was hilarious. I'm sorry, very sorry to make such a post that could be considered trolling, but I have to say it.

I think you'd have better chance of trying to turn water into wine... But the FACT is, Diablo 3 does have alot of WoW influence, so why you are trying to disuade people to talk about it again ?
Only if we consider WoW epic. Some people are wondering what the hell happened to Blizzard that they made this thing called WoW.
...wise words...
I just didn't pick up the "go kill 10 boars" or "collect 10 toadstools" gameplay. The game, imo, was not epic on any level except for the vast amount of territory you could explore. Spells didn't look cool, armor, weapons, scenery, and the graphics in general just weren't my tastes..
Diablo, is FAR different from this. I can't even begin to compare it to WoW. So what I'm saying is... yea OP your right. lol.

Well since you're apparently skipping 1st-grade reading comprehension to trawl the forum, I'll take one last shot at this, though a this my point my advice could probably be boiled down to directing you to a lobotomy specialist.
I absolutely 100% agree that 'D3 will be like WoW' threads are 1000% annoying. Including this one. Including this absolutely pointless, spammy, duplicate thread that you've created that is exactly what you're saying annoys you. If it annoys you, why create another thread? How do you not get this? How do you not see the irony?
And now one final example for you, absolutely worth the 'Flaming' infraction I'm going to incur once a mod reads it, because frankly it's therapeutic:
I think that people who sit on a forum and call other people idiots are wasting their time, and they are also to some extent assholes, and I don't think anyone should do such a thing.
I'm locking this thread for excessive violations of the following rules:
Quote from Revised Rules - July 19, 2009 »
1A - Flaming
'Flaming' refers to any deliberate attempt to insult or demean other users, staff, people, or groups of people (on or off the boards). This includes racial, sexual, and religious slurs as well as derogatory statements regarding people of lesser fortune / ability. Flame can be contained in posts, user titles, thread titles, names, avatars, signatures, private messages, and the reputation system (among others). Outside the forum is your business. Anything on the forums is our business, and we will deal with it accordingly.
Max Punishment: Permanent Ban (Dependent On Severity)
1B - Trolling
'Trolling' refers to any deliberate attempt at provoking argument or flame. It may, at times, also pertain to an easily-misconstrued statement that, based on previous experience, is likely to lead to argument or flame. This decision will be made on staff discretion. Deliberately posting controversial viewpoints with the intent of inciting conflict is a serious offense and will be treated as such.
Max Punishment: Permanent Ban (Dependent On Severity)
1C - Arguing
'Arguing' is not Debate. The two are different, and it is important to understand the difference between them. Debate is the free discussion of numerous differing opinions employing the use of logic, evidence, and civil disagreement. Arguing is a conflict between numerous differing opinions wrought with illogical and/or irrelevant exchange, a lack of proper evidence, and innapropriate or impolite animosity. The difference is usually very clear but, in a case that proves hard to distinguish, a decision will be made at staff discretion.
Max Punishment: Permanent Ban (Dependent On Severity)
1D - Spam
'Spam' refers to any posts in a thread (or any thread) that is or contains unsolicited or irrelevant material including, but not limited to; advertisements, links un-related to the thread topic, youtube videos (not directly related to Diablo or another topic at-hand), internet memes, random gibberish, double posts, and single-word / single-image posts. Please do not respond to spam posts. If you wish to help cut down on forum spam, report the post instead and let the staff take care of it appropriately.
Max Punishment: Permanent Ban (Dependent On Infraction)
