Needs to get to the point faster.

@D0omscream Yeah all they say is that the dark wanderer is Leoric's son not the prince.

@keekool Actually it seems its about getting more and more customization on what your actually seeing/doing than whats behind the curtain, honestly im glad there trying to change from d2 because if they essientially remade the same skill/stat point systems it would lead to the same kind of character customization as d2 and would just bore the shit out of anyone who played d2 a crapload, also It seemed as if they put alot of time trying to make it so theres like 193,028,512 builds for each class.

Extremely happy skill points are now a thing of the past. It really wouldn't have seemed like a new Diablo game with the same skill setup as the previous one. I imagine it will be equally as revolutionary as D2's skill tree was. Long live Blizz!

@chipmanman1 I agree, it seems like the game is getting less and less about customizing your character and more and more about being generic with all characters fairly similar, like wow.

[Clackergille]

good job guys!

[D0omscream]

The Wanderer is Albrecht's brother... simple as that.

[NearDark87]

For all good honest folk there's only one option left: Hardcore. Sure it would suck to lose my character but at least I won't have to play with cheaters and use an obsolete market

[NearDark87]

@chipmanman1 ahh, streamlining, isn't it wonderful? :)

[chipmanman1]

I think the d3 devs would save themselves a lot of grief from adding a rune recycling system and random rune system etc if they just fixed the skills to be useful throughout the game (not so easily replaced) and/or just added more skill points with less benefit, but enough that you could *specialize into your flavor* be it crowd control, damage, tanking, etc.... I can't believe they haven't figured this out by now.
