I'am a huge fan of epic music and Blizzard's sound team never disappointshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8eDv_ezOs8http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7sXnFl03pU

TBH I have never really been a fan of the WoW soundtracks. here are definitely some tracks I like, such as Nightsong and I forgot the name of the other but it was made by Matt Uelemen. I always feel as if they're too grandiose and epic. They work in WoW but I've never been much of a fan of WoW. TBH I also thought D3's soundtrack was lackluster and influenced too much by Browder's WoW sounding epicness. 'The End of Days' is too grandiose for Diablo. If you look back at all Diablo songs from 1 and 2 including Hellfire they're all very singular pieces. Not much is taking the stage besides very eerie sounds accompanied by a very small amount of instruments which are mostly string instruments which had a slight twang to them. The only part of Diablo to have broken that mold was D2 LoD those songs were slightly more orchestral and epic but they still retained the eerie sense and vibe that all previous Diablo songs had to them.Diablo 3 had a few songs I thought fit the dark theme of Diablo well, one of them ironically was 'Whimseyshire', Leah is my favorite though, because it goes back to the simple eeriness present in the strings. From what I've heard so far with RoS most of the tracks sound similar to D2 and LoD. Which in my opinion is great because they're giving me a very dark brooding vibe again. Which let's be quite honest what Diablo is all about. The impending doom, never knowing what's coming next. That's what needs to be there in a Diablo soundtrack and I didn't find much of it if any at all in the original soundtrack.

Yea "Leah" was definitely the standout track of the D3 soundtrack for me too. I also think there's a lot of potential for dark and goolmy music even of the grandiose nature, when done right. For instance, Titus's theme from Space Marineor Imperatix Mundi by Jo Blakenburg.

Well some people like the idea of making their character look nice over "everyone else should know what they are wearing". When you spend a good amount of time looking at the said character, i'd imagine, making it look aesthetically pleasing is a nice bonus, especially when you can keep the stats from the clown suit and look like a prince/princess.

If you're looking for that sense of prestige, then you still have it as you have to find the legendary before you can use to for X-mog.

Personally, I don't think it makes the game strange and if people really wanna know what you're wearing, there's always the armory.

I don't know why you get that vibe from him. He actually comes across as one of the more humble gamers out there but that's just me. He never really takes himself seriously either, maybe you misinterpreted his humour.

This is actually a pretty good deal considering the launch week will be bogged down with log-in queues, down time for patches and god forbid, the dreaded error 37. Saving 5 bucks and avoiding frustration is a pretty good bonus.

But the safety net is also highly exploitable even for the simplest of bots, And knowing that you will gain a legendary every 60-90 min is also not extremely rewarding when it finally drops.

And even if bots exploited it, what do I care. BoA.

Removing the AH is not one of their main selling points of the expansion. You don't even need to buy the expansion for it to be removed.

Just adding my reply to the news article on the front page to this discussion...

Why are they so hell bent on shoving gambling down our throats?Kill mobs and get loot. It's really that simple.A formula that worked wonders for D2X and that game lasted for years.

If they really wanna add it so bad, make it so that the legendary drop rates from gambling are so low that it shouldn't be balanced against the mob drop rates.

But no, lets add AH (and look how well that turned out) and Gambling to fool people into believing that were adding new features. I wanna play an ARPG not a GRPG.

When the removal of a game feature is one of your main selling points for an expansion, you know you've messed up big time. It happened with the AH and i can't wait to see them remove legendaries from gambling before the next expansion. I swear these guys never learn.
