DiabloFans

Well another outlet that I take, is by adding it as a non-steam game and get the Steam overlay going on, as a vast majority of my gaming friends use steam and it just makes things so convenient to reach out to others. I see a lot of my friends doing this with SC2 and I do it for BFBC2. I will also use Skype as well. I don't really like vent all that much when you just want to talk with one or two people...but I do hope they just build in a voip feature to make it care free.

I have not read all the posts, but wanted to weigh in on this.

I actually think it is a pretty good idea, albeit quite frustrating, but it lends itself to greater re-playability. I know some people are using the skill calc and have these great ideas on builds, but for me and many other fans of the Diablo series I'm sure, the randomness of the runes creates a greater sense of "accomplishing" your build as you just lucked out or bought out the best rune for your skill. I mean I honestly do think the AH will provide people the ability to get the runes they want as there will be TONS of players and they all wont be built the same way, so you can bet there will be quite an array of runes in the AH IMO. I would really be all over this if they somehow implemented ways to either clear or reroll...methinks of TF2 when you have 2 crappy hats, smash them together and get random...maybe we can get unattuned runs in a similar fashion or just have to rely on good ol MF to solve the riddle.

Take it easy on me....long time lurker, finally starting to add my .02 to it all.
