This makes absolutely no sense

I'm glad they left Blizzard though... I don't want people that stupid working on Diablo 3

yeah, just to set the story straight, the way i understand it is, these guys, former blizzard north, were part of the original Diablo and D2 teams and were in the process of making D3 exactly the way that true Diablo fans would want it, but the main blizzard said "hey, we want it this way" (meaning more like wow, imo) and Blizzard north said "nay", therefore Blizz shutdown Blizz north and half the devs left to form flagship, and the other half left north and joined blizzard. Am i right?

LOL MajorMoose...

@ in0luck: Hammerdins should have never existed in the first place.

You missed the point completely, the only you reason you could devote all your stats into one section was because you knew you would get items that would make it unessacary to up those stats.

Except for this: Log on to B.Net right now. Wait until you have 5 Hammerdins in game (Takes about 5-30 second, so be patient). Now ask them... what weapon are they using. Four will say Flail Hoto, and the fifth will say hes getting one too when he can afford it. Ask again, this time what armor they have... all of them will tell you they're using AP Enigma, except for one MP Enigma. Hello item customization? Much appraised and hardly seen.

Now ask them about skills they invested in, I will shit a brick if one is out of the ordinary, not to mention he will immediatley get mowed down by the others and told to remake the character.

As for stats, seeing as they all have similar gear and skills, this one won't be hard to figure out.

Now can anyone point out the flaw we have here, the main reason why there is no need for this so-called customization? They've all done the same thing! Congratulate every single one of them now to let them know they have all achieved exemplary uniqueness compared to the other thousands of Hammerdins.

Here's more food for thought: this whole thing will probably never happen. The uniqueness of each character allows them all to use the same botting programs with the same results, so you won't get an answer from them. At the end of the day they all notice they have leveled without playing, and utterly convinced that it was their true talent at this game and their perserverence, the don't even say thank you to the damn computer programs that actually did all the work for them. :mad:

How's that for a slice of uniqueness? So many options to do it different from everyone else, a whole 510 statpoints, or chances, to set yourself apart from the rest, and yet everyone will have nearly identical stats.

Yet we have the same group of people lament over the loss of the unique runewords that were so unique that nearly every character had the same weapons, when Runewords were one of the reasons the whole act of statting a character became redundant. Thanks to Runewords, you can now even choose to make a character with only Vitality stated, that's awesome, and I am sure this will exceed any other player's idea of how to set up a character by far.

I don't understand some of you claiming to have played so much D2 without realizing this: You create a character, get the items and do BASIC MATH to figure out how much of what stat you need to get your gear on and have decent life. The whole system is so basic that friends and me actually never had to collect stats until 75 and bug character equipment, we did that off the top of our heads as we were leveling.

D2 was truly unique. Not the way that everyone stated the same points and skills, and not by making everyone aim for the same gear. D2 was unique because it attracted so many different people for so long and was fun to play, but how much fun did that Pally over there have dying in Baalruns until 75 have? Not much, until he was finally able to stat the minimum amount of points to be just like every other Paladin.
