(FEEDBACK) World of Diablocraft.

Well let me say after playing through this game on a couple characters, I have made some observations about the changes and my playing experience. Some aspects that were added to the game have been an upgrade to Diablo 2's mechanics, but several are a step in the wrong direction. However, as it stands. I believe this game is not worth the time or money.

Picking up cash in Diablo 2 was tedious at best, and the new system of automatically picking up money as you pass by it was for the better. Saving me some time from getting carpal tunnel earlier. Carrying of teleport scrolls has been changed into saving you from carrying a tomb, thus freeing up a wopping 2 slots from your pack. You can also sell from anywhere in the game, which is kinda a plus. The new craft system seems like it got disenchanted straight out of world of warcraft, and is almost identical to the Enchanting from WoW, except rather than skill yourself up, you must find items to skill your blacksmith up.

The classes seem very Diablo 2 like except for the fact that they all have a Rage/Energy/Mana mechanic taken directly from WoW. Seems like all that time creating WoW paid off for this game. I sure am glad that Diablo 2 was out long before WoW. Now we will talk about some of the negative features.

I believe the things I'm going to mention now are the reasons why I won't purchase this game as is. There is absolutely no customization or diversity in this game, period. In diablo 2 I had three different sorcs on my account. Each had different skill set, level of skillls that I perfered to play with them, stats that I purchased to customize my characters to my playing style, and gear that suited my needs.

However, in this game every barbarian can be like every other barbarian in a matter of seconds. There are no skill trees to vary your character apart, nor stat points to vary how you wanted your attributes. These basic things that the Diablo game always had gave it a high replay value, and made it fun to try the same class with different builds. This game doesnt even give the courtesy of a Talent tree to specialize skills you perfer over other players. Only your gear makes the difference, and that is pretty restrictive as well.

Overall, I'd say that this game is what World of Warcraft would look like in 3rd person. The changes in graphics, and slight modifications that easy gameplay from Diablo 2 do not outweigh the horrible lack of customization. I would suggest waiting another 1 year working on this game to get it right before releasing a disappointing game that phases out in 1 month. Maybe the creators should have spent more time playing Diablo 2 than WoW.

Thank you for reading to my feedback,
