Too be honest, I never liked it when games made you choose where to put your stats. I feel like having a talent system is more than enough for customization when it comes down to making your character feel unique. I do understand a lot of people enjoy picking where to put there stat points but I feel that in some cases it can change a game to more of a complicated feel than it should. When people start playing a game the first thing they want to do is just have fun and play, not having to worry where to put these skill points. I always hated going online and having to search up what is the best attribute to implement points. Most of the time I would just never put the points in until I reached higher level just because I wanted to play. I didn't want to alt tab in and out of the game. I hate it.
I know many people like crunching the numbers and making a pure "glass cannon" skill set or make talent builds that would not be viable without stacking skill points within the appropriate attribute, but this just makes it even harder for developers to balance the game appropriately and makes it more complicated for people who want to play the game without taking out a calculator.
Also, does choosing where the stat points land at the end of the day really make a difference when it comes down to skill or fun factor? I guess it really depends on if someone likes using a calculator.
I would only do it under the circumstance that I have done a lot of Normal Mode arena. PvP has so such a high learning curve that it would be foolish for anyone to go in without a lot of practice at the Normal Mode version. Also, if I remember correctly, didn't they say that they aren't going to be balancing PvP at all in this game? This would make arenas very one sided, wouldn't it?
I think I will be Arenaing in Normal Mode for a while before I ever do Hardmode.
I am new to the forums. I have to be honest. I never knew these forums existed. I stumbled across it and noticed that there is so much on here that I can learn about Diablo. I am new to the game, sorta. I played Diablo II a long time ago but never really got into it because I never had anyone to really play with.
Just recently, I met some new people that were talking about this game a lot and it caught my attention quick. This made me want to read the books and, thankfully, you guys have them all listed on these forums! So awesome!
Anyway, I just wanted to pop in and say hello. Also, if you guys have any specific threads or sites that you recommend I check out, since I am a noobie, let me know. =)
