IMO, all your annoyance from beta are superficial. Honestly, all those you mentioned doesn't affect the gameplay or distract my concentration to watch and enjoy few streams.
Well, I think that most of your gripes will probably be alleviated once you're actually playing the game. Most of the annoyances are probably less noticeable when in the middle of the action. That's just my opinion though.
Yes, my impressions are only from watching the videos. Would be interesting to know what people who actually play the beta think.
1. Monsters and destroyable scenery fly like pinballs when struck. Looks very unrealistic and silly! Blizz, can you please tone down the physics a bit? It feels like Titan Quest!
2. Fonts are ugly and unfinished, but I believe this will be fixed
3. Level up and new skill announcements pop up right in the middle of the screen and obscure the action. I hope these can be turned off, just like any type of battle feedback, like damage, crits, gold picked, etc. Completely unnecessary and distracting!
4. Players not taking damage from activated traps (falling walls, etc.) is unrealistic
5. Mouse cursor is ugly and organic. What happened to the gauntlet?
6. Comic-style balloon boxes popping up when characters speak are annoying
7. The aura effect around dropped gold coins is annoying. Dropped gold looks like flying sparkles
8. Characters and NPCs never shut up, I hope there is a way to turn off those prompts (like "not enough mana", the templar exclamations and etc.)
9. Quest exclamation marks above NPCs' heads are a bit annoying and too WoW-like
10. Magic effects look cartoonish, while in DII they seemed more, um, photorealistic? Lightnings, in particular. It's their new art direction, I guess, WoW inspired.
11. Slow projectiles (arrows & such). These will likely be fixed.
Some of these have probably been discussed already.. What do you think, do you also find them annoying?
