Okay, to my understanding, your saying that, for example - a Barbarian player will more than likely have the same abilities as that other Barbarian player. Is that correct?

Did you think about situations your going to end up using a certain ability over the other? Did you think about how to manage your energy income vs. energy spending with runestones? I'm just talking literal theorycrafting, not mash-n-bash abilities together and -oh- this ability with this RS does a shit ton of damage. Sure there will be people like that, but that ability is definitely not the best when it comes down to playing tactics. Have you sat down and thought about these things, yet? Your post doesn't relate to this, dude. So your the smart one. Make me understand. This is how I think and how I plan to play. This is based on normal characters and hardcore characters.

Also, having few limited set abilities is based on how Blizzard designed the game.

So... you concede that every barbarian is going to be pretty much identical to every other barbarian, and every wizard to every other wizard, and so on for each class. Only what gear they've found will differ.

That's my big worry.  Diablo 2 had so much playability because no character was the same as another, so if you REALLY love necros (like I did) you had your summon Necro, your Bone Necro, and your Poison necro. 

TMRNetShark:
Did anyone see this on the Blizz forums?


--- Quote ---On a more serious note, I too worry that we won't be able to meet the expectations people have built up for themselves. Part of my job is managing people's expectations, so... eh... stop it. Stop thinking about how awesome this game could be. Just imagine it's a new M. Night Shyamalan movie. Sure Sixth Sense was amazing and Unbreakable had it's moments, but this right here is the sequel to The Village ... or The Happening ... or Signs ... or any of the movies besides the two I first mentioned. So just like, lower those expectations, but still definitely buy the game please, and everything will be just fine. K?

AKA... "Uhh, guys... don't expect this game to be as amazing as you though... kthxbye..."

That's some confidence that that community manager instilled in us about D3. That isn't the best thing to say... I thought SCII was amazing, but I know SC:BW will always be viewed through rosey colored eyes. The same will goes for Diablo II and LoD.... but that won't stop me from thinking D3 is a great game (only if it is though... and I actually have FUN playing it. Cause you know, I don't want to WORK when playing video games XD).

Or the community manager knows that unless their team literally made Diablo II with better graphics, they're going to disappoint the SOME of the community.

By doing anything new (and they're doing a LOT of new things), there will be people bitching that D3 is worse than D2.

elvikun:
Well, the game will be a big letdown, that much is clear. All the fans are SO tense and worked up, that no matter what will they make, it just won't be "it".
Much like Skyrim, except for people seem to be much more "dead serious" about DIII, for whatever reason.

SeventyX7:
Basically everything I've seen from D3 has been "Oh...so they changed that...well I guess Blizzard has never made a bad game before..."

If this were any other company I'd be pretty pessimistic about it.
