I think you are getting upset a little prematurely. One thing I noticed about the socketting page was that weapons were NOT included among items that could have a socket added. This says one of two things to me:
1) Weapon sockets haven't been added yet and are on the to do list, or the ability to socket weapons doesn't come until a higher jewel crafting level.
2) Weapon sockets wont be added until the first expansion, and with it there will probably be new items with which to fill those sockets. Remember, when Diablo 2 first came out there were only gems. After LOD, jewels and runes were added.
Also, remember that there is the Mystic Artisan that will do item enchantments. We will probably see a lot more variety in modifiers from this particular artisan.
Looking at just the gem selection is STILL (and this is not me getting prematurely upset), a dissapointment. Ruby Helm increased level gain? Really, buy the time your expected to find the last 3 levels in a game you'll probably be in inferno..... Oh wait? isnt that max level end game content... Shouldnt they have made the last 3 ruby gems something else? Like increased potion and health globe number value, blah blah. 1%, 2%, 3%. There sloppy and i'd hope this gets tightened up before release. If there going to push back a games release time we want to see improvements on bad ideas or semi place holders like these.

the photoshop contest was held to those threads, this is a flooding to an epic level. The writing contest was also Acceptable in my eyes, but really? This contest is just TOO wide spread. Its not going anywhere with So much dead space. What i hate even more is the fact most of those post are seriously 1 or 2 liners.

to answer your statement, yes the gems in D2 were lackluster, but that was only because of the Runes in D2:LOD. if you played just regular D2 for a long period of time gems were all you had and they were amazing. D3 seems like its going to be in the same boat! so not take a look at the D3 gems and count the number of effects vs what gems in D2 have, you'll see its almost half of those effects covered. Theres alot of gem effects from D2 i would like to make it into D3 life leech or or increased regen ect.ect. Not to mention there is only 4 color gems... Amethyst, Emerald, Ruby, and Topaz currently. i like options, other people like options, i vote more damn options.

man stop trolling the fourms who the hell are you trying too fool with the argument the AI sucks on inferno when non of use have even tryed it? Last time i checked blizzards capabilities at making AI's, wc3 and starcraft 2 DIDNT fail. The computers there have smart firing, micro, macro, controls on level and on par. Why would diablo 3 be any different in AI?
Your point trying to say aggression is not a change in AI is not true based on what we have seen in there more recent games if you ask me. Even world of warcraft. as a dps or healer if you over aggro the tank, your dead... I would see the same things applying here. Ranged mobs will run away from you or kite you, melee will hug the hell out of you, maybe even block your pathing, or how about slowing you and crippling you till the range wears you down? Point is we wont know till we play but based on the track record the AI wont be the problem, if anything they may ajust health possible or timers accordingly to help or hinder players.

i'm not saying the skill goes throught walls, i'm saying your moving away from there courser but your still technically targeted. Not to mention targeting single units even in PVP is going to be a pain if you want to focus down a squishy target but pull a beefy barb instead. Bottom line is the system they have can be reduced in size. it doesn't seem hard to do, idk i could be wrong but it would do justice. It's something that should be on the polished list.

If the game becomes more serious in the future like some people hope its going to become, it better be on point or there is going to be ALOT of patches that we'll will have to sit thought....

the intro for Diablo 2 was the same way.... whats worse is you dont even lay a hand on baal until a expansion later but we already meet him. so whats the difference?
