If you havn't watched that yet and are considering buying diablo 3 for any reason other then spam killing monsters for loot I suggest u watch it.

I can't see many of the Real Diablo 2 crowd being interesting in something so shit. Blizzard is actually going out of their way to make the game easymode and uncompetitive.

yea that's sad =/

What the...

Diablo 2 PvP was terrible... It really was unbalanced, unthoughtful shit and so many people look back on it so lovingly... I never want to see the train wreck that is D2 return...

I for one am very happy that D3 won't be an esport. To me PvP isn't what the Diablo series is about at all. If PvP balancing effected the PvE core of the game I'd be pissed.

I am not sure where you get that non esport = carebear. Also in what world has the Diablo series ever been about anything other than spam killing monsters for loot? That is pretty much what every ARPG is about.

Well you can tell that Blizzard North cared so much about PvP in the original Diablo and Diablo 2 that they put hours and hours into balancing it, it's not like they just tacked on the ability to hostile players and attack them. Oh wait...

PVP and pking especially in hardcore mode was what many Diablo 2 fans loved most about the game.

Just letting people know how much better PoE will be if they actually enjoy pvp.

The people that bought and played Diablo 2 for PvP are the minority I assure you.
