I would like 100 times more if it was more depending on items. But not 15 of them, but for example 500! Super uniques that it's extremely hard to find. Like some higher runes. Remember Windforce? It was fucking hard to find this bow. How about 500 such items? With randomly generated stats on it of course.
Would be fucking awesome. It would be A LOT more exciting to play the game and try to find those item.

...

And mostly ITEMS! I would play D3 until i have most of good items ;] I think you too. And in D2, there were a lot of them, but as i said- there were not many super uniques.
Imagine having 500 of SUPER uniques to find. You would play 1 month without sleeping trying to find them And you would.. find 10 ;] The rest 490 is still ahead.

And you would have fucking great opportunity to become unique character where there is more items involved than stats and even spells. Items are key to success in my opinion. Imagine finding some item where there is no such one in the net ;] Nobody has it coz it's freaky hard to find. Not saying that it's the best though. It could be the same good as some other super unique, and that's the point. But it's extremelly hard to find. And in Diablo 3 the items have it's own look. The super rare item you would find would have unique outside look for example and other players would notice that automatically. Everybody would know that you have some extra item coz they had never seen effect like that.

I don't agree with you and I think Blizzard also doesn't.
One of the things that made the game bad is the uber-ultra-incedibly-more-godly-powerful characteristcs of the unique itens with their minimum-tiny-extremely-low chance of drops. I have played D2 since the day it was out. Stopped and returned playing about 6 times, and I have NEVER found a single SOJ. I think that hardly any one has ever found all the runes for Enigma. But everyone got those. Why? It is far more effective to provide a hack to dupe itens than search for the itens themselves since they are the best itens by far, Sure you can trade for it, but you have to get some item compared to it, what is just as hard.

But anyway, if you are extremely lucky and find some uniques that suit your level, they are so absurdly better than the other itens for the same lvl that you could just be 'done' with that item position forever or a loooong time.

Based on these things I realized that I find the low lvl game A LOT more fun than the high lvl. Every item you get is important, you get to change items a lot, and you can always have some stats that make you think about what situation you could use any of them. And better, you don't stop playing just to do 1000000000 runs to get one better item for yourself. Every item that drops is close to yours.

Blizzard has many times stated that they are improving this experience of the game maintain its properties in low, mid and high lvls. And also said that there would not be "best items" since they all would get a lot random stats even in the uniques.

500 uniques would only feel as if the only wearable itens would be the uniques and the 10 best would just stay like the 10 best as before. How fun was in Diablo 1 when you found a blue magic item and how fun is it in D2? The magicals/rare are simply ignored most of the times when you have a unique/set even if they are the somply best of the magicals.

I also hope they make the stats which comes with the itens more important for the char lvl. I really see no reason at all to be able to find +1 max dmg rings in lvl 80. But I find them a lot.

Ok it is becoming extremely obvious that any of you who like auto stats and say it went to all vita beside enough str and dex werent good at diablo and couldn't make your own builds and required someone to make a build for you. Ever play a zon? Did you get enough str and dex to use gear then all vita? Guarantee you would get stomped to the ground by any decent zon with above average dex buddy. And how about a BvB? Did he get enough str and dex for equip then all vita? Only if he wanted to get trashed. Yea you got alot of life but you do no damage and can't hit for shit, this auto stat crap is gonna totally destroy all the classes. You are gonna be limited to a one type class, no more BvB builds no more BvA builds no more caster killers no more uniqueness, its all the same "Barbarian goes smash!" "Wizard goes zoom!" "Witch Doctor goes gee I don't belong in D2"

It is becoming pretty obvious for me that you really doesn't know what you are talking about. If you don't have A LOT of vitality there is no way you can PvM in Hell (or late NM). Even a Zon if she hasn't about 200 vit won't get anywhere since the ranged attacks will kill you in a hit. The reason is what some people have already said: 100 points in str (dex for zon) will get you additional 100-200 damage, and that's completely useless when you do about 7k dmg. But 100 vit will get you a lot of HP, what is A LOT more effective and can even be more with BO and oak spirit.

I don't get these whiners about this system. Guys, if it was really that bad it is pretty obvious that Blizzard wouldn't do it! I guess that an auto-stat system that focused on the skills you choose would keep a lot of customization.

Also, there isn't even confirmed that will be in the final game. So sit back, wait and stop swearing at people who doesn't agree with you. That's just too childish.

I think that it could be nice if well implemented. Altough it would take away some of the excitement of the level up, they could do something like the stats that you use with your skills would be auto-boosted.

Even if that is not final, everyone should agree that the stat system from D2 should change. I started playing D2 again 2 months ago. Stopped last week. I did every kind of build I haven't done yet. I did a sorc and the stats advice was 'enough str, rest int vit'. Then I did a bowazon and advice 'enough str/dex rest in vit', Then I was really bored with that and made a paladin, again 'enough str/dex rest in vit'. Completely thirsting for strength and blood, I did a barbarian, and 'enough str/dex, rest in vit'.

WTF are the other stats there for if the only attribute that should be boosted indefinitely is vitality? That is completely wrong! I want the strongest barbarian that was ever done! I don't want Usain Bolt!

I would say 'I told you so', but I can't find my post that said that probably a arcane/elementalist wizard would come out, but I guess that many people foresaw that too.

She seems pretty cool in the gameplay video. She also had a lot of melee magics so playing a wizard didn't look like a weak-stay-away-from-crowds char.

I really think that the "I can't talk about that" from Bashiok for playable demo of D3 at BlizzCon is a way to make people more anxious even if there could have absolutely no possibility of it.

People are very excited about even possibilities of seeing the game, why take that exciment off of them right now? Blizzard is well known to like making surprises and give as few info as they can so they can surprise people even more some time ahead.
