You guys think there will be alot of grinding going on or possibly easier leveling? I know Diablo is about grinding, but D3 might make it different. I know for me I did alot of cow runs and baal runs, which were a staple to get throught the higher levels. I guess one thing depends on the level cap, hoping 99 would be nice.
I don't want to have to try and experience WOW leveling again, even though they made it easier in hell a couple patches back.
I'm hoping that they retain some of the good mojo that LOD was able to garner with it's grinding, while still experiencing something new... But then again we will just have to wait won't we.. ;-)

well if theyre gonna avoid grinding AND easier leveling. theyre prbly gonna make it so that if u progress thru the game (story, dungeons, areas, etc.) the way u should, youll prbly level up along the way. BUT, the problem with this is its gonna be too linear. and a linear mmorpg, meaning youll have limited freedom to do what u want, is a disappointment.
ofcourse and they know diablo 2 was a fast-paced game and that was a huge reason, i expect it might be a lil rocky in the beginning but as soon as people start hitting higher lvls power levels will start happenin and the community will start to kick in.
They're making d3 even more fast paced with more mobs swarming you by making those orbs. You wanna kill shit so you heal up meaning you get to kill more shit. So it will be fun to grind imo.

you say its more fast paced, but its defiantly not as fast paced as d2, the barbs attacks are wayyy slower.the movement, everything. slower.
I know for me, as soon as I get the game and login im just gona walk around and check crap out, probably try every character to see what they are like. Then pick a class and head in, most of D3 was exploration and of course while exploring you had to kill everything in sight hence exp and leveling. I am hoping that experience is based more on grinding mounds and mounds of corpses then quests which gave you items, skills etc... in D2.
We dont want a WOW clone, we want D3 to be specific from WOW. I played WOW for 3 damn years I need something different. And if D3 is going to be what I think it is, I will live D3 for quite a while.

Not really, we only saw a few attacks, and the armor the character was wearing wasn't enchanted so no movement buff It looked like a barb who had just started a game but happened to start with kick ass abilities and good armor/weapons kinda like it was planned out or made before the actual viewing...

Soon comes the day when all shall be free,
Even you, even me.
Soon comes the day all shall die,
Surely you but never I. We rode on the winds of the rising storm,
We ran to the sounds of thunder,
We dance among the lightening bolts
And tore the world asunder

what's gonna be cool about grinding in d3 is that your first time around you're gonna be having so much fun, that grinding actually wont be boring.
True. I had no problem with grinding the first couple times I played the game until about level 80-85, and that was with 1-3 players. Now, I have a hard time staying focused 40-60 with 8 players

That's good. Just because you don't plow through the monsters, and never stop unless your stamina gets low doesn't mean it isn't as fast paced. Fast paced, to me, doesn't just mean how fast I get through a level; to me it means keeping the adrenaline going, and the interest. So, since they seem to want to be adding strategy, and actual skill the game, I think that'll be so much more for the better. And, definately not "slow paced".
I hope they come up with lots of interesting end game, too much grinding in my life time.
I agree. Doing the same dungeons at the later levels (90+) shouldn't be the same dungeon I did at level 60, in my opinion. That gets old especially considering how long it takes to raise those levels.
