Blizzard did an awesome job of letting people jump into everyone elses games and what not, but the people who will play this game for months are the people who are going to want the challenges and high level loot. But now to play with someone who is a monk I need to spend 15 hours rushing through the normal mode with a different character? Blech. After you play through it once on normal, it'd be cool if nightmare was unlocked for all classes, and you just start with whatever level you finished on with that playthrough, so for me 32 or so. I have no interest in playing through the game again on brain dead mode, at least not anytime soon. The last five hours or so of my first play through I was just wishing it would end so I could play on a more challenging setting.

I don't know, it doesn't seem like that difficult a problem to solve and with this new skill system, it would be even easier than having to assign 30 level points to new classes.

As far as Diablo II, now that I think about it I don't think I ever played anything other than Amazon (until like two years ago when I played as Paladin I think)...this is probably why!

I kinda agree, as I've wanted the same thing for WoW since Burning Crusade. If I had a dollar for every D2 character class I rolled up through the levels...

I've been converted to the new system--there are a ton of options for different combat styles, and being able to switch out at any time really keeps the gameplay a lot fresher than it has any right to be. I've already switched between 3 or 4 "builds" through the first 3 acts as different situations required.

In the end, however, it doesn't really feel like a Diablo game (it's more like Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance with a shiny new coat of paint), but it's still a hell of a lot of fun.

Oh, I am enjoying the new system as well. It's fun to quickly try out new strategies. My point was that 1. they are clearly open to change so saying "lol y u nvr play Diablo" is pretty stupid, considering they've made wholesale changes and 2. those changes seem to have been in service of encouraging experimentation. It'd be awesome if that had carried over into character select as well.

The law of averages sure didn't work out for me! 16 straight rolls hitting a property.

Edit: Did Pheenix actually win? That's a major choke job by FMT. He had most of the properties with houses/hotels!

Motherfucker kept going to jail and I would keep rolling 12 and 11 so I'd go around to his property more while he was nice and protected in hail

I told you all I would win

and I did

I made a trade with all 3 players and got to watch each of you slowly die while I got mocked for my system of the law of averages!

I owned all the oranges and reds and railroads and utilities...all FMT had was his softass spaces and spaces nobody ever lands on

meanwhile I had the real dominance all over the board

Ph33niks talks smack like he had an upper hand. I landed on two properties that game to buy. TWO. Every other time I landed on someone else's property or got hit by taxes. It was amazing how much bad luck I had.

Winning from jail is cheating, though. Local house rules don't let people collect extra on properties while sitting in jail. That's cheap.

Doesn't change the fact it is just shameful FMT lost the game. He owned the monopoly map!

EA is giving you the experience you want. How dare you questions them. If you disagree with anything they do, you are doing it wrong.

Also, just found out we're having a boy!

Congratulations. May your first son be a masculine son.
(also, a Vikings fan)

Congrats eznark! I'm glad you sired a man. Now in 15 years you can root for him to bang chicks while you worry about dudes banging your daughters
