1. No I don't agree. If people feels they need to replay Diablo 3 with a new character, then that's exactly what people are gonna do. Just like in Diablo 2. However, the difference is that you don't HAVE to do it, in order to see and try out new skills and builds. You CAN do it, but you dont HAVE to. Big difference and it's actually alot more fun this way, because nobody is forcing you to do anything. There is tons and tons of freedom. No incentive? Was there ever one in Diablo 2 ? Other than having to forceully do it, or else you couldn't ? That's really a positive thing?
Like i said, people will do whatever they want. If they wanna relive the entire campaign with a new character with a new build, then they will do it. incentive or not.. doesn't matter.
2. Yes you are wrong. You won't get ALL spells at the start. That's ... I mean cmon.. really that's just stupid. You unlock skills just as Diablo 2, as u level up. They grow stronger, + u get new ones.. and u get more attributes. you constantly have to rethink your char in Diablo 3, because u can choose rather freely what u wanna do.
Well, I think I get you point, but I don't agree. I always loved the way you could create a new character and start anew to do something you've never done before and live all the game with that. The first levels were always more fun than the last ones. Now that you can try different builds in higher level, people just won't try newer characters. Yes, I can do it, but most people won't and that will make less people in lower levels, which are the best IMO.
Thus, what I THINK will happen in MY OPINION is that people will just get to high-level and swap some builds, then bore from the game, even they having 1 bazillion builds left, it just bores to try A LOT of builds. The TIME they will spend replaying will be much lower than they spent in D2, that's why I say the replayability seems to be lower.
I see what you are saying and to a certain extent I agree with you. But I think this is where Hardcore mode comes into play. There will be a point to make new characters if you last one just died. The only frustrating thing about Hardcore though is dieing because of latency/connection issues, but hey if you play Hardcore, that's a risk you need to accept.

One thing I do when I want to go get a health globe is move my mouse away from the monsters (and hold the mouse button down), behind the health globe, so my character will move in that direction without hitting. Then after I get the globe I just move my mouse (without releasing the button) away from the monsters or resume attacking - whatever the case may be.
It works well for me. I have never had a problem with picking up health globes. Clicking on item names to pick them up when there are monsters around them is a lot more trickier, but that's not the topic of this discussion :).

See I ordered mine from Amazon and they don't charge your card until they ship. They even give charge you a lower price if the price turns out to be lower at launch than what they had on the website. And if the price is higher at launch, they honer the price the quoted.

Thanks LinkX, glad to be here.

It's not like God couldn't do better. God could have assembled the Bible himself, but he chose to do it through people. I can't tell you why He choose to do that - He is God and I am not.
I am a Christian. I don't believe the Bible blindly. I actually study the Bible. There are thousands of secular references that point to the accuracy and validity of the Bible. Take the wall of Jerrico for example. The Bible says that the wall of Jerrico crumbled onto itself - not due to a siege or an earthquake, but by itself. Modern research supports this. Another example, in the book of Joshua, chapter 10 verses 12-14 says this: "
12On the day the LORD gave the Israelites victory over the Amorites, Joshua prayed to the LORDin front of all the people of Israel. He said,
13So the sun stood still and the moon stayed in place until the nation of Israel had defeated its enemies.
Is this event not recorded in The Book of Jasharb? The sun stayed in the middle of the sky, and it did not set as on a normal day.c 14There has never been a day like this one before or since, when the LORD answered such a prayer. Surely the LORD fought for Israel that day!"
There are numerous cultures, that did not believe in the God of Israel, that have a record of this event.
Ultimately, however, no matter how many arguments are brought on the table, faith is still required to believe. I know why I believe, and I know why I have not "picked the wrong god".
People can argue against the Bible, but they cannot argue a changed life. My life is changed, I am changed. My relationship with God is so much more than worshiping Him. It is a fulfilling, rewarding relationship and it was the best decision that I ever made when I accepted Christ into my life.
I respect your position, because like I said, everyone has a choice. I have made mine and you have made yours. Yet the question remains, which didn't consider - at least in your reply...
What if I am right?

I am a Christian and I wanted to take some time to share my thoughts. If some of the points I bring up were mentioned before, then I apologize. I didn't read the whole 45 pages of the thread before I started writing this.
I think Chezilla is absolutely right. My point in this post is not to "prove" God's existance. That is equivalent to convincing you that you like the color green. Whether or not someone believes in God is not a matter of proof. It is a matter of opinion (in secular terms) and it is a matter of faith (in spiritual terms). The very belief that God exist, or does not exist is purely based on how much "faith" one person has that He exists or how much "faith" they have that He doesn't exist.
Regardless of how you feel about the existance of God is irrelevant. The real question is what is truth? Does He exist or doesn't He? Take numbers for example. How do you know what "1" is? Someone taught you what one was. Number are a conceptual construct. Our of the context of counting, numebrs mean nothing. If no one ever taught you about numbers, then you would have no idea that you are seeing "6" apples when you are presented with half a dozen of apples. The very concept of counting would completely foreign to you. you might be wondering by now where I am going with this. Regardless of whether or not you understand numbers and counting, one apple is till one apple and six apples are still six apples. The fact that six apples are six apples as true ragardless of whether or not you understand the concenpt or whether or not you believe in the concept. It's the same with God. The truth about His existance is a constant. God doesn't exist one moment and the not exist the next. This fact is irrespective of whether people understand God or whether or not they believe in Him.
Knowing that, it really comes down to an indvidual decision. You either choose to have faith and believe in God - like myself. Or your choose to not have faith and not believe in Him. Again, regardless of this choice, the truth about His existance - whether true or not - is not determined by anyone's decision to this dillema.
Umpa brings up an interesting point. As Christians it is our mission to spread the Gospel (the Good News - essentially Christs death on the cross for the remission of everyone's sin, His burial, and His resurrection 3 days later). The real question is what is our motivation to share our faith with other people. (I don't know the churches that are around where everyone that is reading this lives and there are many different denominations and different flavors of the Christian faith. I am speaking from a perspective that I have gathered from studying the Bible and not any particular denomination.)
In my church, there is no membership. No one keeps track of who you invited and who eventually became a Christian. There is no "rewards program" where you get "bonuses" for inviting people or their acceptance of Christ. There is absolutely no incentive for me to invite anyone to church other than the fact that if they accept Jesus as their Lord and savior I would know that I have been used by God to bring them to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
I want to stress something, however, that seems to be a misconception among non-Christinas and even among some Christians. It is not the individual that is talking to another person that saves. The only one that can save is Jesus Christ. If any "Christian" tells you how many people he or she has "saved" then you are not talking to a person who understand what Chtrist did on the cross.
This brings me to another point that I wanted to make...
You are correct, I believe that the Bible is the innerant word of God. The humans that decided what texts were included in the Bible were moved by the Holy Spirit when they were making that decision. Of course in order to believe the statements in the previous two sentences, faith in God is a prerequisite.
You are correct, Luedine. There are some Christinas that will not hesitate to share their faith. Threatening people with going to Hell is not the best way to tell you about Jesus. Scaring people into heaven is just as easy as scaring them out of heaven.
The last part of your comment is another common misconception. God does not send anyone to Hell. Everyone has a choise and the choice is simple. Either someone believes in Jesus as the Son of God who died to pay for all the sins of the world, was burried, and resurrected three days later or they believe that none of this happened.
Romans 1:20 (NLT) "For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God."
You see, if you someone has told you about Jesus, they you have been given a choice. A choice to believe or not. Whether you believe or not, is up to you. Regardless if the choice, each person will have to accept the consequences of their own choice.
Let me close with this...
If am wrong, and I am convinced I am not, and there is no God, then I have lived a happy, full, life and hopefully have made other peoples lives better in the process.
The question that I want to leve everyone who does not believe with is this:
What happens if I am right?

I agree with you (and Lethal_weapon's comment - second posts below yours). Not knowing the type of rune you will get is just too punishing when you don't get the one you were looking for.
On another note, IF they make the rune type unknown it would be pointless to give the ability to the Mystic to wipe it. If that was the case, you would only need gold to get the rune you want, since after you get a rank 7 rune, you can just keep wiping it and "attuning" it again until you get the one you want. If they do this "new" system, it shouldn't let you wipe it. Otherwise it will pretty much be the same as knowing the exact effect of the rune. The only difference is that it will cost gold (and maybe a ton of gold) to get the exact rune you want.
