Diablo 3 is fundamentally broken

[ViralSpiral]

If they want the genre not to stagnate they ought to take heed of their forebears. One of the greatest lures of Roguelikes was the character variation - choosing between race AND class. Actually, just as a list of all the things that were highly appealing in the genre; race/class, variety of tactics, random levels, good quests with memorable rewards, the difficult level, the very sharp difference in how even two similar classes could play from each other, the viability of melee classes, resource management...so much stuff, and almost all of it could be translated to a real-time environment. Some of it has. Heck, the random levels was such a big deal it practically defined Diablo compared to other RPGs of the time.
