Addressing the other problem of loot leaching, if I were Blizzard, I would make the individual drops specific to a person's level. I.e. A level 99 barb parties with a level 1 Wizard and they kill a boss - the Barb gets 75 gold and a level 80 item, the Wizard gets 1 gold and a level 1 item.

That's how I would roll it.

Fully agree, Diablo = Singleplayer foremost

Otherwise you would need internetconnection to play the game and maybe pay some $/,month.

as for bop:
Even more stupid, someone better tell Blizzard that this isnt Diablocraft its D I A B L O

so leave the game as it is and don't implement crap from your cartoonnetwork game damnit.

Items as quest-rewards? WTF you should get them randomly like in Diablo 2 otherwise people are forced to do all the braindead queststuff...

And YES that also affects the sp part of the game.

BoA, BoE:
Wont, but esp. BoE would destroy the free game economy forever.

What are they trying to fix?! If I "own" an item I want to be able, to sell, trade, hand it over to whomever I want, BoE takes away this freedom and why bother "endgame" gear? Diablo has no real endgame gear, because you are just running the same bosses over and over there is nothing like "raidprogression" or stuff like that so this idea is right down the line stupid as hell.

It really looks like Blizz has forgotten WHO made them rich, its not the damn wow'ers. They are implementing too much crap and therefore pissing off some loyal (former) fans, just to please a so called "new community"...

I was looking forward to Wolfenstein almost as much as some of the other big titles of this year (Modern Warfare 2, Assassin's Creed 2, etc) but it seems it's not as good of a game as it could have been.

The first couple of hours are pretty bland + boring and the game only picks up past the halfway mark.. a good game is supposed to grab the player and suck them in from the start, not make them wonder when the more interesting fights and missions and content starts happening.

The plot is, unfortunately, a joke. The protagonist is not involving at all, and none of the characters make you care for them. The various groups in the game such as the Golden Dawn are so two-dimensional it's hard to be interested in what they have to say to you.

The graphics are only passable (in that they at least do not make you cringe, although there's a decent amount of ugly/poorly mapped textures.

I am actually *somewhat* enjoying the later levels (currently in the castle) but they constantly make me wish the rest of the game was more interesting. The level variety is pretty much the only thing that kept me going, although the same can't really be said for the actual level design in the first half of the game. Running through the same freaking town in different directions 1298387 times was not fun.

What else did I not like about the game? Hmm.. AI behavior ranges from passable to atrocious. Stupid instant travel to the start of a mission (Arrive at castle instanly after hopping on truck..) Enemies will glitch out occasionally, as will your allies. Speaking of your allies, they are as useful as sacks of potatoes. Looking for gold and treasure was only interesting for the first 30 minutes of the game. The Veil is overused to the point where you could be running in it the whole time. And last but not least, the game is way, way too easy. On the hardest (out of 4!) difficulty modes, it does not feel challenging in the least.

The only upsides - the combat is satisfactory, the Veil is pretty cool, and the boss fights are original.

I tried starting D2 and LoD again ever since I joined this forum. Attempted 4 times...with friends, solo, specific char bulds (didn't try mods though) etc. and I could never play more than a few hours before uninstalling.

No thank you, I do not want to pay for Battlenet 2.0 because if you want to play multiplayer you have to pay them for the privilege of playing. I would much rather they include LAN in the original game. I think if they did that it would benefit them more in the long run.
