D2 has been on my PC in one way or another since high school.

I always wanted to read some insider scoop about why D3 was so jacked at launch, but I honestly think the Blizz team just hosed it up.

it seems like they built a lot of the game around the RMAH, and when people hated it they had to reevaluate

Picked up the expansion version for PS4 for $5 and it's the best money I've spent in a long time. I played vanilla on PS3 and it was ok but all of the Combos and kill chains and everything else they've added make it super addicting. I'm lvl41 on my crusader playing the story on expert and I'm crushing everything. I love being Tanky

Also I have sent presents to whoever Leftneuron is (sorry) and IT

Oh hell yeah I never get presents

I thought I didn't like the endgame because I thought all you did was complete sets and incrementally raise numbers but now I see that what you're really supposed to do is figure out all the insane ways you can break the game by combining powers. For instance: my crusader has a powerful aoe on a 60 second cooldown but I got a power that casts it on a random enemy every eight seconds. Then I got another power that reduces damage taken by 50% for 20 seconds which would be nice normally but since it re casts every 8 seconds I'm practically invincible

Yep and once you get all those items you grind for a version of the item that has a .00000001 percent change to drop, then do it 12 more times. then you go back to farming paragon levels.....

Already did it in the ptr, the graphics and everything are cool and retro looking but it just uses the Diablo 3 tile-sets from act 1, it doesn't feel anything like Diablo 1.
