Okay, so dear God is Diablo III fun again. It's not even just Loot 2.0, it's a whole smathering of things put together that are just making the game new and fun again for me.
Like the fact that so many skills got updated either graphically or mechanics wise. I'm loving playing a straight up frost wizard for the first time in Diablo III. And frozen orb is back! The clan stuff is SOOO very nice, the game actually feels like a multiplayer game for the first time IMHO. Clan chat is sweet, and hovering over the player list allows me to see how their characters look! It's not quite as cool as the bottom of the D2 chat interface was with all of the player characters being visible, but it's a very nice welcome change. The Paragon reworking is slick as hell and I'm loving it. And the loot, I played for a few hours and got three upgrades already. And I found my first set piece EVER in Diablo III tonight, after 150 hours of playtime. And judging from all the legendaries and rares that people were linking in chat, man have they ever made the loot game so much more interesting.
And this is just patch 2.01, we are still missing so much stuff that RoS will be adding.
Yeah, Diablo III is fun again. Holy Shit.
