I feel about the same. The level design is better looking and uses verticality much more. The monsters staggering after a hit makes it feel better than them just taking damage without reacting.

Other than that, the pace is slower since there seem to be more monsters in general. However, the drops from everything needs to be totally overhauled. Looting feels awful. Broken boxes and vases only have treasure in them. Healing potions or bandages rarely drop or spawn from anything, so you better bring them in with you. Finding even green items is rare and each class can only wear cloth/leather/plate (however only the Easy mode on maps is available right now, maybe drops will significantly improve when they open up Hard mode.) No warriors wearing cloth or leather even if it's an upgrade. You pretty much have to buy upgrades as greens and each one is going to be about 1000-1250 gold. Common/uncommon/rare/epic/legendary treasures sell for 20/40/300/600/1500 gold. The primary way to make money seems to be from completing dailies.

Then there's little annoying things like the swordmaster class has an ability that shoots one handed swords and consumes them. Ok, well the npc merchant doesn't have basic swords for sale so there's no way to restock ammo other than finding more to loot next time. In general I don't think it's worth bothering with if you have dark and darker already.
