Damn. This entire Blizzcon was basically adventure mode. They could have just saved it for a blog post on the official site.
I think the biggest issue is that they didn't go in-depth on some of the larger elements that have been data-mined. So it's hard for people to see that and then hear them say, "Oh, we don't have anything to share."
The names are "breaking with tradition" because the actually difficulty levels are as well. Hard or Expert is not going to be +30 ML like Nightmare was, nor will it require you to beat the previous mode. So the name change is likely there to reset expectations after D2/D3.

And that may very well be their intention. If it is, I understand their reasoning, I just don't agree.
Working with the understanding that this is largely an aesthetic issue and has no major impact on the game one way or the other, in my opinion they lose more by changing the names than they gain. It's purely my opinion and I understand if people think I'm being a whiny bitch. I just don't see the point of changing something that is a well established tradition purely for the sake of changing it.
There's really nothing else I can say about this issue. Que sera sera.
