Why are you eager for 1.10 ?

[Brista]

1- New toys to play with, new builds to try out ?

I've always loved trying out different skill set-ups. I generally don't get as excited about items but the idea of all the different skill set-up has me very keen to play 1.10

I think that the synergies will actually increase the numbers of builds to try, I'm looking forward to Holy Fire and Lightning strike :)

2- Because the game will be more balanced ?

I've never been too fussed about this. I play all of the character classes and have found each very enjoyable

3- Because the ladder realms will provided a cleansed mp environment ?

Definitely

For me the real test will be though if the game can be made enjoyable and predominantly legit (in Ladder games) through the periodic flushing of characters into the non-Ladder pool

I would love to play Diablo2 online again in public games where the vast majority of players don't cheat

4- Because of new modding opportunities and ease ?

Too complicated for me, I'll be glad to try some of the mods other people come up with :)

5- Because of long overdue bug fixes ?

Not something that really bothers me. I agree with you that we will probably see new ones, hopefully not on the order of the Angelic bug.
