stats are automatic, I'm guessing your stats rely heavily on your gear.
no one knows how skills will work for sure yet. They've said they don't want a skill tree, but they don't want a "use skill to level it up" kinda of system, as then you would just be grinding your skills instead of levels.
Alright, first off.
The development team have confirmed that they will scale down the effects.
BlizzCon and all that was just to test and see if things worked, and if it didn't, they would change it.
The game is balanced around four people at this moment, perhaps you don't realize just how much time it takes to re-balance a game this far into development.
And perhaps you do not understand, butDiablo is first and foremost a co-op Hack 'n' Slash game, the PvP is the second priority.
Now they are going to improve the PvP from Diablo 2. It's just that we don't know how.
Oh and people worrying about that the effects will make your computer lag, I'm fairly sure you will be able to lower the graphical settings.

It's not so much making your computer lag though, it's just the inability to see anything when there are four people playing (judging by the monk video). But knowing Blizzard, they'll refine the effects. Also, people shouldn't forget that watching someone else play, and you being in the drivers seat is different. watching a video of a new game, and expecting to see and know everything is impossible...if it were YOU (aimed at myself and any others struggling to understand what is happening in the monk videos) playing the monk in those videos, you wouldn't be so lost as to what's happening .
sigh...once again, people don't realise, this game is NOT going to be a carbon copy of D2, this is D3, they have almost a completely different dev team, expect change whether you like it or not. so stop comparing a game that hasn't been released and which is still under development to D2. we know very LITTLE about D3's mechanics and how it will work...

my opinion on the four person game...sure it could be more fun with more people, but I'm sure most of you have seen the monk videos. If you had more than four people, you wouldn't be able to see anything. i was never much of a PvP person, but the times i did try it, hated it with more than like 3/4 people.

IT'S THE DATE THAT DIABLO WILL DESCEND UPON US!
but yeah, like every other release date related thread, expect a late 2011 release.
