Playing the BETA I almost felt bored by the time I got to the skeleton king so I'm thinking this game probably isn't for me. Granted I've played Ragnarok and other similar games like Spiral Knights but for some reason it's not clicking for me. |

The beta was short and you did not get a lot of runes to play around with. However, for an introduction of the game I think it did a good job of showing off what the system can do. I am more excited for the potential additions to the game than anything else. Imagine a Dota mode or the like. Diablo 3 does appear to be a flexible game in that regard.
Ultimately, I think D3 is a game that will become better with difficulty and a full toolkit of abilities rather than the 4-5 they gave you in the beta. It remains to be seen. |

Not surprised if some got bored playing the Beta. It was good at showing the classes, potential of the system, and giving a peek at the story. Though with only a few skills and runes you couldn't play around with it too much. Can't wait for the game to come out and really get to see what some of these skills can do combined with the runes.

Going to be fun to check out how the real money AH works out next week. Lots of high priced lowbie items I reckon.

RMAH will not be usable until a week after launch iirc.
Since I can share equipment between my characters, I can see myself selling some of my valuable yet outdated junk on the AH. Who knows? Maybe people will be dumb enough to spend $8 just to buy a tier set of armor. |

Oh really, I didn't know that, well then in a fortnight will be interesting to see.
I think people will be stupid enough to buy that, just because some will be newbies, and some will be impatient.

others are just plain filthy rich. i didnt really carefully read the RMAH details, but dont you need like $1 to put up an item in the RMAH? i think that alone will cut out alot of junk items in the AH.
Auction House Fees Before you post your auction, you’ll see any fees that apply to your listing displayed in the center section of the Sell tab. These fees will only be charged if your auction successfully sells, and will automatically be deducted from the item’s final selling price. i guess you can auction as much junk as you want.

There's plenty of alternative for folks who don't dig Diablo 3 (which have gone in a very different direction in terms of it's previous design).
But 2012 is like the year of hack n slash rpgs. D3 is coming in a few days time, this weekend you get Path of Exile beta and Torchlight 2 release coming soon. Additionally, Grim Dawn manage to hit it's target funding from Kickstarter. So there's something for everyone. PoE is shaping up pretty nicely building on D2 aesthetic style with a combat system that looks like a hybrid of FF7 materia and FF10 sphere grid. It's also a F2P + cash shop business model so people should check it out when they can. Torchlight 2 is going for the modding and LAN community, giving players freedom to tweak the game. I'm probably going to end up getting all 3, torchlight is pretty cheap and PoE is free.

I'll probably play Torchlight 2 whenever the battle.net servers are down.
And since I play early in the morning, I expect it to be down quite often. Or try out that new Summoner class in Dungeon Defenders.

I never tried Torchlight and have only heard about it from a friend when it had been released in Germany. I will definitely check out Diablo 3, but whether that's right away upon release or at some later time, I don't know yet. The changes of the stat system do sound promising from the link posted as does the crafting. Given that in D2 the Mana/Energy stat was pretty useless to push (except for a few points as sorc at the start when you counted to the unfortunate gamers without a fitting starter equipment ).
Either Monk or Wizard will be my first choice. I haven't been that fond of the Babarian in general, maybe due to the horror scenarios in D2 with whirlwind-ing in a group of monsters after you realized too late the Iron Maiden curse on you *lol*. |

And as we approach the release date, I have discovered that I cannot access my battle.net account nor can I make a new one.
I can't remember my password and getting it reset asks me for a security question that I never set because, well, security questions didn't exist last time I played. My other option is to use a registration code from games that I don't have. Fukou da.

Ever since my WoW account was hacked, on a raid night, with me being the MT.... (yes, a horror story of the worst) I've used authenticator.
Thankfully Blizzard was able to restore my character before the raid time. I love Blizz.
