I would like a ranked PvP option but I'm not going to cry about it if we never get one. Maybe even just a top 100 list of players in each class, since as they said it will be unbalanced.
Also, Diablo is primarily a PvE game and I hope they never "balance" the classes around PvP.
It's good to finally see some people who feel roughly the same way as I do. I was thinking of starting my own thread like this but figured it would just get qq'ed to death.
I honestly think some people are scared of the new active/passive skill and ruin system because there wont be as much "hey this is the best build step for step so you can run through the game, spam one button and make leet deeps". It seems like the ruin system will drive the way we pick our passive skills, but that's just me thinking, only time will tell.
+1 to bashiok for being hilarious, and I do feel for the guy he has a hard job. If I was in customer service I would probably just call everyone tards.

Thanks, that is a good idea. I already have two HD's in there, just not in RAID. One is older though, I wonder if it will still be helpful. What do you use to test your actual read speed performance?

A program called DiskBench (its free and you can get it here if you want http://www.nodesoft.com/diskbench) is pretty much what most people use to test their hard drives. It will check read/write speeds in a more "real life" situation.
You need 2 of the exact same drive for RAID 0. Well actually that's not true but to get the performance of it you do. Also the down side of RAID 0 is if you loose 1 HDD you lose all your data, so it doubles your chance for HDD failure. Another thing is you can do a hardware bios RAID (if your mobo supports it, and yours does) or a software RAID. However hardware RAID is much better/faster than software RAID. Just a couple things to think about before you start buying HDD's and what not.
Do some research, and if it fits you budget and needs I'd say go for it.
After initially loading the game, will anything be improved by having the game installed on a SSD?
If your worried about load times just get 2 HD's and RAID 0 them. Even though as most already said it really wont matter.
My RAID setup gets 300-360mbps write and my SSD (boot drive and important docs and cs5) only gets 150-180mbps...raid gets 7.9 on the windows thing ssd only gets 6.9. Just an fyi

HILARIOUS
I've been a hard core Warrior/Barbarian/Knight kind of guy all my life but something about the Witch Doctor tickles my fancy.
