    hard core isn't even available at the start in D2 right? don't you have to beat normal first or something

    maybe I'm just getting confused with the beta which required you to hit 10 with a normal character before HC would unlock

    My understanding is that they changed their minds and now HC will be available after 10 in release as well.

    Well that's still cool I guess, for those people

    Also I just bought this online because buying things you dont need to survive is what a tax return is for

    you can download all the clients you want, just can't play it without the game activated on your b.net account.

    I think buying it online gets you both. Possibly the box version too.

    Just looked at my battle.net account. I have a link for a PC and a Mac version.

    It is roughly 1/3 of act 1, data mining showed that there were 14 waypoints in act 1 and 6 of them were in the beta.

    This is how i've been killing time waiting for Diablo 3.

    Never really played Necro before, so went with Summon Necro.
    I've decided it's the lazy mans way to play D2.

    I really want to see a party of Summon Necro's...
    I want this to be a thing, and I want to see the chaos from hordes and hordes of skeletons.

    I am a little sad that it has transitioned away from Stat points.

    The way D2 ended up, there was never really any choice with stat points. Or rather, the choice was between "the best stats" and "not the best stats".

    I like skill point and skill tree systems because I enjoy RPG character building and like to feel like my character is different from every other character of the same class, but in practice the D3 skill system (probably) creates better gameplay.

    They were an improvement over... what did Diablo 1 have? Hoping you'll find the right spellbooks?

    yeah, it was essentially a roguelike.

    Your character can still be unique and different, and this is actually more likely in Diablo 3 since you can actually try different things and find something effective that fits you, rather than just picking one flavor and that character being stuck with it forever

    Though I suppose inferno could take min maxing but we havent seen all the skills and runes in play and have no idea if that is actually the case

    i feel like blizz is way more able now, in 2012, to balance skills to make sure there's viability in choosing different stuff

    including patching/hotfixing

    I said feel like, not actually be. I know there were tons of other meteorb sorcs and skelemancers but coming up with the plan of how to spend those skill points myself was what I liked.

    Even with unique builds, 99% of the time every skill got "none, one, or 20" skill points. At that point you might as well get rid of skill points and just either have the skill or not.
