I bought D3 on launch but quit in early July. I logged on after 1.04 to check my friends list. I have 12 friends. All of them quit around the same time I did and haven't been back.
The game is great about the first five times through. After that it feels like a chore that provides no real satisfaction. At least Diablo 2 had PVP at launch and 99 levels to work with. The classes felt like they had good synergy. The monsters didn't want to make you punch your monitor.
I check out this site daily to see if there's anything exciting coming. I feel like 1.04 promised more than it delivered. Mostly things that should have been in at launch, like auction house and GUI improvements. The only thing it really provided was class rebalancing. I'm hoping something comes along soon, like an expansion announcement.
I like how Blizzard [paraphrasing] "wanted the game to focus less on the gear grind and make endgame more exciting.]
Paragon levels do nothing but focus on the gear grind. They give you magic find. Some see it as prestige. I see it as a hollow attempt to keep people chasing a carrot on a stick.
I made a throwing axe barb in Diablo 2 and it was a blast. Not super effective due to the lack of available throwing weapons, but I had lots of fun and that's all that matters.
I loved unorthodox builds in D2. I had an elemental druid before the synergy buffs and a necro dedicated 100% to summons. 31 skeletons, 31 mages, 31 revives, and 1 golem. People who joined my game would get pissed and leave, calling me “lagcro”. I stole that name and used it for the name of my build.
