I played diablo 1 and 2 religiously, delving into the story and game play with the passion of a zealot. After playing d3 with the same passion...this is game feeling completely unfinished.
The story and campaign mode are a blast. The execution of this leaves MUCH to be desired.
- This game has very little shelf live. Especially for $60 USD. Level 60 cap. I've already maxed my character THREE DAYS after the game came out. It took weeks to level in D2 and thats something I greatly enjoyed. You're hard work showed when you were the ONLY level 99 out of your friends.
-Blizzard said it would takes MONTHS to get to inferno. Many people, including myself, have beaten most of it.
-The auction house is COMPLETELY messed up. I've spent gold an received no items multiple times.
-Your character HAS to use certain skills or you will die. The monk only HAS to go healing or you wont survive inferno.
I could keep going, but this is just stressing me out. Diablo 2 changed my childhood, epic story, epic game play.....This game just does not hold up.
I feel like if blizzard opened up a bigger beta, these issues and many others could have been resolved BEFORE the game was released. Blizzard severely underestimated ( or just ignored) it's gaming community.
Love the game play. But this game just isnt "polished" enough.
I've played through nightmare and so far I have discovered that you can NEVER EVER have enough health! Hah. I decided to get socketed single hand weapons and socket them with as much life steal as I could. Duel wielding for the +15% attack speed.
The result was pleasantly surprising. I've found that in most situations I can attack fast enough to generate A LOT of health. Typically enough to outlast whatever I am trying to kill.(The only thing that busts me is when I am frozen). It was pretty impressive to me considering how effective this idea was and the fact I haven't tried to "tune" the build yet.
Has anyone else tried this? I really like the way it plays so far, and would love to see some build ideas.
