On the fence on D3. No real plans to buy it but haven't completely ruled it out either.

Didn't intend to buy it anyway, the "pay to win" option only confirmed my decision.
I still play WoW though - D3 and WoW are like apples and oranges, not the same thing at all.

I quit WoW 6 months after Wrath, never went back ever since. I keep an eye for Diablo 3 but not for PC, just for the console version.
The always online DRM-like seen odd to me, don't know if it'll be into the console version thought. I have trouble with the client is a thief approach type, that just seem unwise and bad business practice.
The micro-transaction... i wonder if it'll only allow to buy stuff already in-game or there will be exclusive? For me, really not interested into the micro transaction stuff.
I keep an eye for Diablo 3, but not sure i'll buy it and really not into my buy list for now. If i buy it, it'll be once a GotY edition is out and/or the game is at 30$ new.

No Poll Option for I quit WoW, but MIGHT play D3.

Already stopped playing WoW - considering playing D3, but very leery of some of the development direction they've taken with it. Enough that I'm not going to pre-order and I'll see what people say about the game after it releases.

Came back to WoW last month after a break and will play til D3. The micro-transaction ballyhoo is much to do about nothing. For those asking what the big deal over Diablo is, many of us found the series entertaining. I play games for fun and Diablo delivers each and every time.

As someone who enjoyed the single player aspects of the first two Diablo's, and never really got into the pvp (and scoffs at Bliz's e-sports), and hardly ever flies let alone plays video games on flights...
The only thing stopping me from buying it is news about whether it's actually good or not =)

Well, add a bunch more to that, because we have and the more we read out here, the lower the chances of coming back. Probably hit zero if they actually do add pandaroos. <straightface>
Voted quit and no interest in any other Blizzard product in the forseeable future. Although my son is enjoying SC2.

Unfortunately, the WoW message board is, though not as much anymore, the most active Board on VN here. It has slowed down considerably though since the days of Wrath, so that there says something as well.
I mean we actually had discussions about WoW around these parts, now its more about other games it seems at times.

I don't really see much of a relationship between WoW and D3 except both being made by Bliz, since I view them as different types of games. But part of that, I guess, is because I have never played diablo online and never will.
I'm kind of perterbed with the state of WoW and some decisions with D3 I'm already taking exception to, like the potential AH and/or addition of cash-based transactions, and as with many PC developers these days I'd prefer to see an emphasis on creating fun games intead of seeing them come up with creative ways to milk players for cash.

Sad but true. Blizzard has fallen off the horse, had the ankle caught in the stirrups and been dragging behind for a long time now. So many bad decisions.
Sadly, with the removal of talent trees, Torchlight 1 is a more involved game. Whoever is making decisions up there (BOBBY KOTICK I'M LOOKING AT YOU) needs to be flogged, IMO.
Scratch that. Ya know, it's about time Blizzard got stick-checked and opened the door for competitors that don't use the Narcissism v1.7 development model. I'll look forward to the next good game that isn't Blizzard. I had hopes for the Red Alert series but they went console/arcade mode and dumbed things down much like D3 is doing. /meh

I have no problem with not having to "micro manage" my stats, it was tedious at best in D2 and a welcome change for me.
Don't care about online connection, though you listed it twice?
don't care about mods either
RMT AH, diablo pvp a joke? Lol it's ALWAYS been a joke, there is no difference in "jokifying" D3 pvp compared to D2 pvp, because some guy will always dupe whatever is the "highest priced" item to trade for what he wants. now, he spends real life cash, what is the real difference here?
The AH is stuff put up for the players, by the players, it's an option for people to take part in, maybe Blizzard will do something like "seperate" those who spent money on items, and those who didn't, and we can segregate the online community even more! That's a wonderful idea!
I think most of you who are 'up in arms' are just looking for reasons to not play D3, which is all cool, but these decisions aren't game breakers, and aren't going to hinder my fun at all.

Diablow <--(see what I did) never seemed to anything more than a smash and grab game to me anyways.. I mean, was it difficult at all for anyone at any point? Enter room, 1228 creatures swarm at you.. you kill them without missing a beat. It was a glorified version of Gauntlet IMO.

Thericia the reasons have been pointed out in this thread and countless others. At this point no one needs to spell it out anymore. We know the reasons people are going to skip the game this time around. Maybe those reasons do not apply to you, but they obviously matter to a large percentage of the people that post here.

[quote=Trejin_DarkBlade]If what I hear is true about D3, then it is defintely a no go for me. Bites, but I'd rather save that 50-60 bucks.
do tell what the game breaker is, instead of being so aloof.
Dumbing down the game (http://pc.ign.com/articles/118/1185753p1.html)
Required constant online connection even for single-player (http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Diablo-PC-Gaming-action-rpg-battle.net-Robert-Bridenbecker,13187.html)
no modding, no LAN support, have to play on their servers, again, even for single-player
Real money auction house, aka, pay to win (so pvp will be a total joke) (http://www.mmo-champion.com/content/2397-Diablo-3-Auction-House-Announced-Spend-and-Earn-Real-Life-Money)
Those are a few things so far that make this a no-go for me.
I have no problem with not having to "micro manage" my stats, it was tedious at best in D2 and a welcome change for me.
Don't care about online connection, though you listed it twice?
don't care about mods either
RMT AH, diablo pvp a joke? Lol it's ALWAYS been a joke, there is no difference in "jokifying" D3 pvp compared to D2 pvp, because some guy will always dupe whatever is the "highest priced" item to trade for what he wants. now, he spends real life cash, what is the real difference here?
The AH is stuff put up for the players, by the players, it's an option for people to take part in, maybe Blizzard will do something like "seperate" those who spent money on items, and those who didn't, and we can segregate the online community even more! That's a wonderful idea!
I think most of you who are 'up in arms' are just looking for reasons to not play D3, which is all cool, but these decisions aren't game breakers, and aren't going to hinder my fun at all.
lol@worried about diablo pvp

You asked a question (concerns of D3), I answered it -- re-read your own reply before calling others 'aloof', when yours is rather childish at best.
Whether or not the points I, and others mention, are important to you, 'lol' and 'HAHAHA' etc, just makes you look like... ugh... why even bother. If you read the articles I linked, you would understand than it IS a concern to many other games, hence this discussion

It was a glorified version of Gauntlet IMO.
This. Gauntlet style games were fun 20+ years ago when you had no MMORPGs and almost no multiplayer online games.
And also, 2D and half graphics with fixed camera don't do it anymore nowadays. As I already said, if I wanted to play such a game, I'd go for Ultima Online. At least that game still has some depth.

This.
Overhead views are completely ridiculous in this day and age. If Ultima Online would ever upgrade to WoW's graphic style/engine, it would be a mega success and maybe even topple WoW.
