For a d2 player ye it's a lot different.

In all honesty I don't think blizzard cares about 30+ year old former d2 players.

They target next generation bro they never played d2 so make comparisons to d3.


i do question why they took that direction. they should have went after ex d2 players instead of marketing to newcomers or the casuals. arpgs (diablo style one) is a niche genre, it's not really a genre to market to the masses with.

for example: little jimmy might prefer diving into Diablo 3 for some couch-based rift action rather than slogging through ten acts in Path of Exile just to reach maps. two totally different kind of people, and different style games too.

Direction took itself after activision mutation (exactly how poop taking its way in the toilet after splash sound), you really believe anyone is already behind wheel out there? Diablo 1000x40%=1040 is now official name.
