I don't think legendary gems is a bad idea. However, I would love to see them bring back facets. They would be perfect for this game. They don't require multiple sockets like a runeword. Although, they would offer something different than gems.
Facets have so much potential to be amazing. You could have rare and legendary qualities. I can't think of a better addition to socketing. Just think of all the stat boost or crazy death effects they could have!
Look at these beauties! Blizzard here is your "Legendary Gem". What do you guys think? Maybe we can get a list of awesome effects (death, level up, massacre?) and properties these facets could hold within!
Probably the same way you can sit there and sing praises about a game you haven't played yet.
It's okay to be excited about D3, but being absolutely certain it will be great AND be "so much better" than a game that lasted over a decade and is one of the best-selling games of all time (and they didn't need anything ridiculous like 'always-online' and the RMAH to sell D2...imagine that!)...is a bit over the top.
Okay I can see where you are coming from but, I have done plenty of reading and discussing about
D3 plus I have played the beta and from what I can tell from it the game will be awesome.
I don't think people realize that the graphics in d2 were just as colorful (for those who think
d3 isn't dark enough). The only difference now is that the graphics are more 3D and better.
I love D2 and it will always be one of my favorites. However, what they have done with Diablo 3,
in my opinion, looks amazing and I can't wait. Also you have to think about the future. They will be
adding plenty in the future with expansions and patches. Just like they did with D2. People might not
realize D2 wasn't the same game as it is now when it first released. <-- Also, He's a badass
