So I've been in the beta for a while now but only recently am getting really excited to play the final game now that it's so close to release, so I haven't been up on all the official news, so I apologize if this is all common knowledge. I know that based on the player profile there are 4 acts, also from what I've read the level cap is 60 and there are 4 difficulties that I assume work like Diablo 2. My question is has it been officially stated how long the acts are compared to the beta or Diablo 2, and what level you would be around when you finish normal? I know the beta most likely has a sped up leveling curve in order to test out more abilities, but I think it's going to be strange with the way things unlock based on level if you beat normal and are only level 20 and haven't unlocked most of your abilities. I only played normal Diablo 2 (pre-expansion, never went back) and finished around level 33 if I recall. I just don't know yet if replaying on a higher difficulty is something i'll be interested in doing, though the gameplay systems look accessible but still challenging enough that I might be down with it depending on the game length.
The game is approximately the same length as Diablo 2. In the Beta we've seen about 30% of Act 1. There's no estimate of a level when finishing Normal but I'll throw in the number "25-30".
Well I am by no means an expert on PvM content. However ill try:
At end of normal I believe you will have already unlocked all of your skills for use, but no runes?
At end of hell you will be around 55+, with some grinding you will hit 60.
As far as length goes, I believe they said the last act will be the shortest as it feels like you are near the end like D2 did with Act 4 and they liked that, they said it was similar in length to D2.
The combat this time around I feel is much more rewarding, you bought the game for $60 may as well see it through to at least try inferno.
Normal is ~ 30
Nightmare ~ 50
Hell ~ 60
Inferno - 60
The acts are about equal in length as D2. Longer if you are a fan of exploring every dungeon and side event/quest you run into. Definitely more quests than D2 had.
