Let me first say, Gris, that if you find this thread inappropriate, please feel free to move the post and/or punish me.
I am in a way rather happy, but so far profoundly disappointed with the patch. The topic title says it all.
Not having played the beta, I set out with my most capable hero, a paladin, to explore the bloody foothills. He found lots of skeleton archers, who were somewhat of a pain because he couldn't leech. No worse than the old PI's however. The minions did move faster, and that was a bit exciting. There were other unexpected monsters in the foothills also. About halfway home he met up with diablo. Or perhaps a clone thereof. He targeted diablo and held the button down. The confrontation took a minute or two, during which to be conservative he sipped four health potions and drank three purples. Admittedly there were only two people in the game, so it should not have been as hard as eight player, but this is supposed to be the ultimate event of the new diablo universe. A brave new world that is supposed to be significantly harder than anything we have experienced.
My friends and family will tell you that I am not the most coordinated person on the planet. I am a fifty five year old grandmother, albeit with good characters and equipment. But this was a joke. Blizzard -- if there is anyone left to answer the phones -- you should certainly be ashamed.
