1. So we have decided to go wtih the wow stat system? What happened to putting stats into your character i guess that allowed for to much thinking, creativity and thought. Cant have that. gotta get diablo 3 into the mmo fold.
2. Instead of spending points to unlock abilities, which ill be honest isnt a revolutionary idea by any stretch but now we have an even more dumbed down system where you can pick from a pool of all abilities and use any 6 at a time? Can you say guild wars? Again having to put point into somthing, and make decisions is to complicated for gamers much better to just give you access to every ability and allow you to change on the fly so as not to force you to think to much.
3. Cant even post on the official beta boards because it says my game time has expired
4. This is the worst running beta i have ever played, Latency, stuttering, error codes you name it. I played swtor, and wow through most of there beta testing and i have to say its not even close. This game is not in the ball park of being close to release, despite blizzards best efforts to gut as much content, and as many graphicical animations as humanly possible to toss this game out the door. It will be 6 months minimum before this game releases.
5. The auction house uses real money.... ??? i had read about this hoped it was a joke, nope.
6. No single player option, not even an option..................theres a blue explanation but its just not valid. you buy a game you expect to be able to play it end of story regardless of what the status of your network is, part of bringing diablo 3 closer in the mmo fold..
In summary this game is bad, Real bad not in the way starcraft 2 was. You see starcraft 2 was actually a great game, however it was starcraft 1 with a paint job, not a whole lot new some polish some flair but it was the same game which was good in the fact that it didnt take a step backwards but bad in the way that i was hoping for just a glimmer of original though from blizzard. however with diablo 3 this is not the case this game takes about a thousand steps backward with the mmo style stat system, real money auction house, no single player etc. etc. What your left with is a game that looks and plays like diablo 2 with a paint job except that instead on improving the orignal by adding unique and original ideas we dumb the game down, butcher free thought and creativity, and make it so that no one who ever plays this game will ever have to think about anything.
As far as this game running like crap, its blizzard im sure that it will run fine at release however i just wanted to point out the horrid! performance because i know alot of people are waiting for this game and i just dont see how it could possibly be out qtr 1.
its only "bad lag" is due to about 100k new people playing and very few servers. It runs fine every other day. One key point of you even getting in now, was for them to see how the game plays when a server is filled way to much. You can expect more servers / less lag in the days to come
as for what you said about talent system, I really like this pic

I agree totally, thats why i said that im sure it will release just fine. Sadly, that doesnt change much.

Yeah, but I know some wont know why =P
as for your mark on talents, updated my post with one of the pics I like.
Stats again, seriously? Ok here you go:
Stats system in d2 is really bad. Let me see:
Pros: you choose what stats/talents you pick
Cons:if you fail/missclick with the stats, you are goner. you need to make new character and end up reading
on websites about FOTM builds. How is this cool? They fix it in d3.
yah fix it by totally not giving any control over it, makes sense to me.....

I think we're all getting trolled by OP. I'm surprised complaints about the graphics wasn't on his list.

What, prey tell, are you talking about? Having to pick stats as you level up was a broken system, which resulted in stat required items, sub optimal builds if you screwed up, and more headaches. Now, you get to pick your stats by selecting what gear you want. It actually gives you more control, because you can swap out gear to get different stats when you want, provided you have the gear. The system you claim to be better (without giving any actual facts or solid arguing stances) actually gives you less options, because once you've chosen them your done.

The only issue I have with this thread is the fact that everything you're complaining about has already been complained about. And quite frankly, most of those complaints were followed up with reasonable explanations directly from the creators. All of the decisions have been well documented and publicized.
Yet, you choose to simply ignore the very public reasoning behind some of the systems you are complaining about. Instead, you simply add fire to the flames without giving any real motivation to engage in a discussion due to the fact that you chose to neglect the obvious points in retort to all of your complaints.

Just wondering, if WoW didn't exist, what "stat system" would you say D3 copied?
Anyway, D2 stat system sucked. I'm happy with the direction D3 is taking.
Back in D2, it's either:
1) You save all your skill points then do cow/baal runs until you have enough points to dump into your main end-game skills based on the latest cookie cutter build.
or
2) You spend skill points on "useless but maybe fun" lower to mid tier skills just to be different from everyone out there.
People will be so blindly adverse to change that there is just nothing you can say to assuage them. It doesn't matter that every single bullet point has a 100% logical and reasonable response, he just wants to be upset and hate everything. That's all assuming it's not just a troll I suppose.
Love the picture though, makes your point pretty clear Molster.
If you don't like the game and aren't interested, dont attempt to sway those who are(you WILL fail). While I agree the game won't be out for several months at least IMO, i'm interested in the game and I know it will be a success(eventually).
If you're not interested, just shrug your shoulders and.....go away. If D2 was a SOOO much better game, guess what, you can still go play D2 and GET OFF MY LAWN!
