I'm a D2 veteran, played D2 for years since I was 14 but quit quite a few years back after reaching 96 on my necro and high 80s on several other characters.
D3 was announced and I'm really looking forward to it, on the other hand I'm bitterly disappointed that my favorite class necro won't be coming back :mad: The lame ass witch doctor can't even come close in comparison. This is the Diablo universe, let witch doctor stay in African tribal villages and WOW, it doesn't belong here.
Another terrible letdown is that there will only be 5 classes at release? Come on...this is the 2009/2010. I haven't seen any respectable RPG with high production value that only comes out with merely 5 classes since like........2003 :confused:
I hope the brand new contents and the fun of playing a monk and will more than make up for these flaws.
And here's also hoping D3 will release by the first half of 2010.

The Witch Doctor may not be able to replace the awesome necromancer this is true. I feel your sentiments.

Well Diablo II was a big hit and that only came out with 5 characters :confused:

Flaws? what flaws? New graphics, new characters and skills, semi-destructible backgrounds, better skill management and usage...what flaws?

True, but D2 originally came out in 2000, that's almost a decade ago. The quality and benchmark of RPGs have risen significantly since then, especially with Bioware continuing to churn out epic titles that redefine the genre (and with Dragon Age coming out in Nov). 5 cookie cutter classes are simply too linear and limiting for an RPG in this current era.

I like the graphics, but honestly speaking they ARE a bit too colorful and cartoonish for the Diablo franchise.
Like I have previously mentioned 5 classes are simply too few.
PVP and guild support are mentioned, but haven't been announced in details. Hope they will come out great.
And I have also heard rumors that D3 will only support max 4 players online, if this is true it will be thoroughly devastating
D3 is bringing out a lot of excitement, but as of yet it's not guranteed to achieve the same critical success as its predecessors. We still need more details and info.
Of all the aforementioned flaws I think the 4 player limit cap per game is surely the biggest, I feel that it will have an extremely lonely feel to it, I'm 23....The original Diablo was the game that got me addicted to online RPG's, I can't imagine how the MMORPG generation will respond to only 4 characters per game.
The biggest flaw in my opinion is the automatic allocation of stat points, I won't go into that as I'm already getting teary eyed at the mere thought.
Redemption can come in a couple of forms, maybe the skill runes, the new ways characters look from gear, and other things can give us a feel of player customization. Also the expansion should seriously consider uping the characters per game to as LEAST 8.
It isn't. Nothing is official. It's an unreleased game. That's the direction for some time now though. I'd like nothing more than for it to be eight, but don't see it happening, hope I'm wrong.
And here's also hoping D3 will release by the first half of 2010.
Heh, good luck on that one.
Here's hoping for first quarter 2011.
Anyway, welcome, you'll find there are plenty of people who will agree with your criticisms, and then an equal share of people that will complain endlessly about people who complain too much.
