Just wondering what other people's feelings are on this. Ive seen a lot of complaints, both here and on the official forums about things like the crappy itemization & lack of appropriate statting of equipment (both based on gear type & class, as well as the Legendary and Set items due to random stats).

Personally I'm inclined to agree with the above being 1 of the biggest turn offs for me. So what are your feelings. Wether you like the game but just would like to see an improvement, or you dislike the game but changing something would bring you back to it. If there was 1 thing, big or small, that you could change what would it be?

Change so that the "end game" wouldnt point me to the AH...

UMM simple answer, get rid of the online single player garbage.

The only thing that kept me from buying D3 was the lack of open pvp.So i guess that is what i would add.

I'd say remove the locked slots at the beggining. It sucks to have to wait 19 lvls to get some versatility, and theres no point at waiting for having more fun in a game.

But thats just me.

I would balance the skills and allow significant changes to be made through skill trees, itemization or whatever. The biggest things missing (IMO) are builds. Planning and levelling a new build in D2 was mostly what I did. Javazon, Summon Necro, Freezadin, Trap Assassin - whatever. I was levelling a new one constantly.

That and farming for sets/uniques. But you said one thing. :P

I would change the always online for single player.  The game has been unplayable for me for about six days now due to latency.  I am located around 220 miles away from the west coast NA servers, yet my latency never goes below 300 during prime time.  I get spikes up to 1000 sometimes.  I've lost a hardcore character to it, was only level 11, but still lol.

 

What's frustrating is that if I log on at 5 AM PDT, my latency is 50ms.  Log on at 6 PM PDT?  It's 300ms.  I get better latency when connecting to the EU servers. 

 

As far as the game, I would have to agree that itemization seems a bit sloppy.  Right now for my witchdoctor I use a blue 2h mace because it has high dps and high int.  That's really all that matters for that character.  At least with my experimenting.  BUT, I have not done too much experimenting as it's been tough due to lag.

 

Option for an offline mode, I dislike being at he mercy of someone's network connection (lag under load) or maintenance schedule in order to play single player for a non-MMO. Basically having the option to create a character that can't group or use any of the online features like AH, stash, PvP, etc but can be played without having to log into battle.net. It's the only issue I have with D3 and there for the only thing I would change and in all honesty it will never happen and one day when D3 is so old that Blizz decides to take the network off line we wont be able to play it. Hell I still load up D1, Baldur's Gate and Daggerfall if they used the same system as D3 I most likely would not be able to play those games today.

 

Anyways that covers my rant.

allow offline single player

more hours of gameplay like old type of this game (shadowbane,d2,shadowflare etc) wish mean more bigger world and things to do

More difficult boss fights with more interesting and complex mechanics.

I understand that they wanted to stop the boss farming, but I don't see how making the bosses super easy stops that.

They could have made the loot system as it is and still had difficult boss fights.

I dot see how they could take everything they have learned from wow raiding and end up with the boss fights that D3 has.

Worst part of the game if you ask me.

Buff legendaries.

Bring back jewels.

 Bring back the talent behind Diablo 1 and 2, while firing the current staff.

get rid of all the simplifying they did..

 

self regening mana

unlimited town portals etc..

 

whats with simplifying and easy moding all the games these days?

 

bleh.

I'd get rid of the Magic Find stat or rework it so it doesn't interfere with other stats. I think it's a poor mechanic as it makes you choose between having good gear or having a better chance at finding new gear.

Throw out AH and change itemization. (those things are irreversaby connected so it is one thing really)

REMOVE ONLINE REQUIREMENT plain and simple, and separate SP and MP characters (well these are two things now but they are pretty tied to another so it still count as one :D)

As everything is so heavily dependant on weapon damage, i'd love weapon "tiers" with the same base damage per tier. Having to throw away legendaries because of low damage and pick a no-attribute blue with high DPS is just... unnatural.

 

Finding rare and extremely rare items should be fun. In D2, when some unique dropped for me, i had a great feeling before identifying it. I want that back when i get a legendary weapon, instead of saying "oh no, not a 2 hander with crap dps and tons of dexterity"...

Option to play hardcore mode offline. A single lag can be fatal for your char
