One interesting thing that I know I have heard this somewhere;
"And really, what we've found from a design standpoint is, the general instinct is that players always want more, but more choices just dilutes the quality of those choices, so we really wanted to focus on - okay, let's get the right number of choices, so that those choices feel really significant and powerful."

Well with the shrinking of the Talent Trees in WoW and the lack of choice found there, what did you expect?

I definitely won't touch Diablo 3 with a ten foot pole. When people will be playing that, I'll be playing SW:TOR and/or GW2.

Certainly kills replay value. One of the perks of Diablo 2 was how fast you could level up. I literally had like four bnet accounts full of characters. At one point I had like 5 paladins and 5 amazons. Each one with experimental builds, each one only taking me a few nights to push into the high\low 60s in lvl.
With this new system it seems I would never need to make a new character of the same type.

Just shows you that the same retards who are handling Cata are handling D3, a shame, I won't touch it if that is the case.

My excitement diminishes every time i hear about design choices for D3. I think the best course of action might be to steer clear of this game too.

IMO, steer clear of Blizzard games till they hire new Dev teams. Or a certain individual who's craming this dullified play-style down peoples throats.

I sure hate it, and never thought I would feel this way. But the more I hear about D3, the more I agree with the quote above.

Here is reality, Blizzard has fallen.
It's just that simple.
Blizzard has become a victim of its own corporate success, which is what happens when you have retards at the head of corporations.

There are plenty of options for skills, considering you won't be able to have all the skills you own available to you, and they've added runes that modify your skills to be completely different at times.

so it looks like they decided to use a modified version of the GW skill system. don't really see an issue with that, as i liked GW.

My friend thinks this is a good idea. He only has 1 finger, an IQ between 50 and 70, drools a lot and can't communicate in any known language. Basically he is Blizzard's target customer of choice.

And guild wars realized it was lame so they are offering vast customization in GW2. Some companies rise... others will fall.

Between it sounding dumbed down, the required constant online connection even for single-player use, and the auction of items for real cash --- I think I'll save my $50-60 for something else.
Blizz continues to move in a direction that I just don't get, nor like...

lol...homogenization claims another victim. This is just getting sad. Kinda like that old uncle you really liked to go visit, sold off all his guns and toys and cool stuff, so all you get to do when you visit now is watch TV.
So basically, we're seeing some combination of:
- conscious decision in D3/WoW to apply "B-Team" ease-of-maintenance (read: smaller dev resource requirements)
- betting the farm on "Titan" or whatever it'll be called
- don't care because 11 million wow subs plus all the residuals from merchandising funds everything with mad cash
- "We have no flippin idea what we're doing but WoW is making so much money absolutely nobody here gives a damn anymore. PARTYTIME! *hic*
