I hit level 16 tonight and got the quest to go into someone's mind, it was stellar. There was also a quest where you control 4 soldiers to take out a named mob, very inovative.

The quest in Tech 314's brain reminds me of the Maggot Lair from D2.

 there is no PVP in the vein of Diablo 2.

 

They actually just announced the pvp. You can enter and exit PVP mode. When you're in it, you can fight with anyone in the levels (not the hubs).

The only way to go into the levels with people is to be in a group with them. That is what I meant by saying there is no diablo 2 style pvp where you can flag yourself and just run out of town and pwn people. In hellgate you'll apparently have to group up just to kill, so griefing will atleast be limited.

i wonder do you even believe that by yourself? how can that even make sense? players with pvp on will end up into same "instance".  ofcourse you cant kill those who dont want to be killed by player and thats a good thing if you have ever played diablo on hardcore.

jee..demo is just demo.

it's just a 1% of the whole game.

You know what they say about first impressions.... a bad first impression of a game even in demo form is going to definately sway your opinion of the game.  If you really disliked how the demo played out then what makes anyone here think they are going to go out and buy the game when they already have such a bad taste in their mouth.

I'm with the other beta folks, this game is really hella fun.  I agree that it is mostly a game to play with friends/guildies and I'm happy about that, as most PUG's in games are just an exercise in annoyance.  I like that the instances are dynamically spawned based on the set difficulty and number of people in the group.

Fun game, great graphics, I'm gonna buy it.  Was not planning on getting it till I played beta for a few nights.

I've been playing this game for a while now, and I've seen no evidence to support what you are saying. I just made my hypothesis based on my experience, so really it could go eithe rway.

The more I play, the better it gets. Just hit Temple Station playing a Cabalist. I have a small army of minions following me around. Reminds me of the Necromancer in D2.

Booring. Even Dungeon runners is more fun then tis game. UI is just horrible and few ideas are copy/paste from WoW.

oh well, Soldier of fortune 3 come soon
