So yea we lose a bit senseless customization like having a wizard wield a maul twice his size (in the real world it would be like putting a medic with a rocket launcher in the front line, kinda wierd huh) but on the other hand as bashiok has said they will put the effort of senseless customization and direct it towards more skills , skill rune effects, so basically adding a lot more meaningful depth to each individual class. I prefer that idea over being able to use a freakin 2 handed pillar as an archer. I hope i was clear.
I'm sorry, but you just bought his whole silly excuse which is nothing but a joke to make you think exactly that "I prefer that over this".
His excuses makes no technical sense.
I don't disagree entirely with the decisions, I mean the wizard can't use big two-handed stuff, the barbarian can't use wands.. I mean, that kind of things I couldn't care less and won't affect the game much, except those that really love to try anything.
All I'm saying is, Bashiok doesn't deserve any credit for his comment. Sweet, he's talking to the community, but his text is there for nothing. A few lines would be saying the same thing.

You are right that they have occasionally disapointed, they make mistakes like any other humans and mostly, may not see things the way everyone does (this is obvious).
Blizzard is one of the very last gaming company I know off that still works on their game to make them as good as possible, and not just to rip off their costumers (like EA). They do have a money draining MMO, but Blizzard is smart. The people over here are smart, and want us to really have fun unlike others, because they have the money and a big community following, so they can do so without fear.
The game -will- be as good as it can be, because trust me, the people working over Blizzard want it, and they have smart people all over. They will always disappoint some people, because so many people want things different ways. But if there is one company you can trust, its Blizzard.
...please, learn how to write your opinion without looking like a frustrated child. You have good points, but have no idea how to properly express yourself. Expect your posts to always be mocked or ignored if you keep it that way.

Didn't work.
Same problem as these guys are saying in the youtube comments.

I lol'ed. If all times are not fun filled in a GAME then the game failed to deliver. Game were created for the sole purpose of entertainment. And thats still their ultimate goal. Its not saying that every elements in a game is always fun, but putting things in on purpose that are not supposed to be fun is probably the most stupid thing developers could do considering what games are for.

The way WoW does it, I think its a nice feeling. You still have to pay and feel like you maintain your equipement, which is fun, but you are never really annoyed that your stuff will break and that you would need unnecessary trip to town to repair them.
That said, I think removing durability completely is not the best of ideas. I personally want durability, but I prefer durability gone than have it like in D2.

Following your example, the way keys and chests are done in Diablo 2, there is no discussion: it is a 100% pointless feature that fill up one of your slot bag with a set of key if you want to unlock locked chests. Thats all. And if you don't have one? Portal and buy one.
I believe in Blizzard (now the only game company I actually trust, like and support) and I think their teams are smart enough to not remove features that would actually add something to the game.
Of course, if you think having to carry around keys like you did in Diablo 2 added to the gameplay, then you will be disappointed.

Is there a need for anything else? What exactly?

Its obvious that we need various crafting features and abilities, just not through the cube.

I don't think you should be able to just freely switch your skills around in the town. At the same time, I don't want the price to be too annoying (I know it was in WoW, even if most people would say 50g is nothing).
In any case, it makes 0 sense to not have the ability to reset your skills. It doesn't even make sense that you couldn't in Diablo 2, other than the fact that its quite old.

I just want to ask -one- thing, if the cap is around 99...
then make it 100.. PLEASE... Reaching "99" as the pinnacle is soooo wrong and gives me a feeling of "there is just that big 1 number missing". 100! I want to reach 100, a good looking number.

The barbarian can use the crowd going all over him to damage all of them. He can choose when to get out and attack smaller enemies first. Getting surrounded is not always a good thing, unless you can just take the hit a bit and then smash them all in one hit, right?
My point: As far as I'm concerned, melee class can have a lot of abilities that requires some level of thinking, and not just bash their skull one by one. While the abilities are different, and strategies might involve getting hit, that doesn't mean it requires less from the player.
