@leonx i think they have added things to balance the loss of all those things remember that they increased the number of item types the character can wear ie shoulder and arm guards. The addition of artisans and crafting i think makes up for runewords because you'll be able to craft unique stuff. For me I think its enough, jewels and runewords were cool but I'd rather have the crafting element. I always felt charms were cheap and hated the space in my inventory being taken up with them, I'd much rather have more armor parts to play with, stuff that changes the look of my character not just the stat boost. Im happy with it, now i just want to get lucky and snag a beta so i can take the edge off before the release...
I agree with you guys for the most part... one thing that aggravates me is the closed beta. There are other forums and scams involving people renting or selling access to their beta for a lot of money... idk who would fall prey to this bs but the point is; that blizzard has created a system through which people are exploiting their fans. I think it would be smarter to do a larger more open beta... early preorder = beta access, rotate beta access, send out wayyy more invites, more contests. The servers have to support the huge number of people at launch anyway might as well get them through any issues early on. There obviously are people that ravenously desire to get into the beta and with the hype and delays its not surprising.
Blizzard doesn't have to frustrate their fans, I understand that they want to put out a quality product and I'll wait, but its bs that people have exhausted the beta and are renting their accounts while some die hard fan is clamoring through these fan site contests desperate for a chance to play. Let more people in blizzard, release some of the pressure!
You guys think D3 would be feasible on a console and would you consider playing it on a console? I should mention that I dont want to spawn a major console vs. pc debate... I just wonder with games like torchlight and dungeon defenders ect on console what Blizzard might be thinking.
Personally, If D3 isnt brought to a console I think Blizzard is missing out on a major prexisting market of people with rock steady consoles to run the game... Not everyone has a newer computer... though I do respect blizzard for making games that a run on even lower end machines, I know more people that have a 360 than a computer that could really run the game properly. I think you might lose some playability, but I think there already is a void in the console market for "diablo style" games thats gonna be filled if blizzard doesnt decide to port to console. I could end up playing both if they do, just to play with my friends who have older computers.
This has probably been discussed thoroughly but I'm gonna post it anyway in hopes of a beta key haha...

Link to my post about people hawking their beta accounts for 100$ +
Apperently some people will pay A LOT for the beta...
I think Blizz should package it with other diablo content... would buy book of cain if it came with a beta.
