A few ideas of how to save D3

[Archon_Wing]

The internet was not as widespread in 1999, and if you wanted to compile a list of Diablo 2 bitching posts, you'd still find a mountain on merely the battle.net forums. Nowadays, people with an axe to grind can do it with the convenience of their phones.

Anyhow, this requires some time. It's a bit too early to determine the absolutes of the meta-game and of course they will take care to patch as they always do. In LoD, Necromancer minions were unplayable almost until they were heavily boosted in 1.10, for example. Starcraft didn't become anything remotely balanced until the final balance patch of Brood War.

The Public Game features are horribly lacking though. 4 players in a game feels really lame especially if some are afk. The chat system is pathetic, though not as pathetic as in sc2.

My main concern currently is having the servers actually work and the AH as well, instead of wasting time nerfing certain skills into oblivion.
