In D2, if you played a pet character, like a Druid or Necromancer, you'd be able to power up your pets to make them more viable later in game. In D3, you get runes that can increase damage, or something else that's lame. Not increase their overall ability.
What happens to the players that enjoy that style of play? Their main ability (or the one they liked the most) is now useless to their playstyle. It's quite aggravating hearing the developers say the customization is amazing when it's hardly there at all.
Also, stat points being automatically placed. I would like to be able to place my points where I need them. My wizard needs enough strength for gear, not to hit people. My wizard would like a bit more intelligence and mana. Not strength when she doesn't need to do melee damage. Very poorly done this time Blizzard.
I'm so happy I took the time to click the link to read this article. I can't count how many times I've teared up because I beat a game, just because the journey was ending. All the work I put in, whether building up relationships with other characters, or just getting attached to everyone, made it hard to end some games. I'm happy to know that there are different things going on rather than "Black Ops 2" and such.
Hmm. Gaming is a problem now? I play games kinda like them, nowhere near 20 or more hours mind you. I get bored with the game. My social life isn't suffering. I do have those thoughts, "Should I stay and play a game or should I go to my friends house instead" then I'm like, RETARD The game will still be in the same spot as before. I don't know though. Guess some people have a harder time dealing with that then others
