Horde mode would be great, however according to Blizzard and many of the people on this board you would have to limit the characters to 4 per game. Anything more and it would be impossible to manage and to chaotic for their brains.
If they were to put it in though, it should be either an unlimited tower or a very tall one. With boss fights inbetween and have everything get gradually harder. Maybe add a store option to buy health globes or buffs, ect. Last level if there was 1 should be like every boss on inferno and mobs.
This would not be chaotic at all, all you do is process whats directly infront of you, deal with quickly and look ahead to see whats coming, it takes focus, start playing FPS if you have problems with this. Studies have been done to show FPS players make faster and more accurate decision when crunched for time (obvious logic is obvious).
In regards to horde mode, I pm'd the lead of PoE and he responded to me telling me they took these ideas on board, and are going to see how they can implement them. One of them was a form of horde mode. Some variation of it should exist in d3.
"...ENDGAME
Can we please a coliseum that spawns waves and waves of monsters with increasing difficulty until we are killed, just to test the ability of our builds, to see how strong they truly are. Make it the skill ladder. Lvl ladder is one thing... it just means you played a lot... Can we please have a skill ladder? This will add some serious competition. Who is the most dangerous mother f***** in the land?

have this coliseum on a one 1hr account wide CD, so you cannot just spam train in the coliseum with your character. it will give higher end characters something fun to do to break up the constant farming, yet still give them an awesome at rewards, and of course, bragging rights.
Have the top % of users receive different awards every month
The top user - Receives a crown cosmetic item which can be applied to his helm "Hail to the king baby" Also when he types in chat, for the next month until a new king appears his chat colour is different than anyone else's (on a side note, top ladder experience characters should also get this benefit).
top 5% - 1 mirror
top 10% - currency
top 15% - currency
etc.
so the guy every month who is on top, gets the crown, 1 mirror, and all the rewards from the previous tier."
*edit for clarity
a mirror is the top tier currency item (they use a barter system) in PoE, it allows you to duplicate any item in the game, but only lets you use the duplicate version. If you get a perfect rare ring, with all your best stats, if you pay an arm and a leg for a mirror, you can duplicate it. Mirrors are on par drop rates as a Zod.
