You guys jealous?

Damn, I just read something kind of bad. It seems that they are doing away with the two items that let you break items down into crafting materials and turn items into gold. Instead, you have to travel back to town to do that. I really liked being able to break down the trash in the dungeon. It had a great flow to it. I hope they reconsider. The last thing I want to do is return to town every 10 mins to empty my inventory.

There's the blog post that's talking about all the changes to the gameplay systems. I don't agree with their stance on needing to send players back to town to sell their items.

I haven't been keeping up on the beta since I beat it before Christmas so I haven't signed in since, but this is disappointing to hear.

I may have to try the beta again once they send out the update.

This is basically how I feel about this game:

I got into MS's Flight beta (the F2P sequel to Flight Simulator X.) I'm pleasantly surprised! It is like a spiritual successor to Pilot Wings when the physics are lowered for beginners and a full on simulation for enthusiasts when the physics are maxed. They struck a great balance. I won't say any more since it is still under NDA.

24 hours+ and no new reports?

Well, I beat the beta with a Barbarian. I'm planning to try the Demonhunter next. Is there anything you guys want to know more about? I can check it out for you.

Is there a class similar to a trap assassin?

I'm not too familiar with D2 characters. I haven't played that game in many years. How does the trap assassin play?

Seems like the Demon Hunter would be the closest.

Of the five classes the Demon Hunter was introduced as a character built around ranged combat. They can dual-wield crossbows, launch explosives, place traps, and cast shadow magic (which compliments their dark nature). Due to these capabilities, this class is apparently a combination of both the Amazon and Assassin classes from Diablo II.

Nice! I was doing a bunch of research to find it a while back and they didn't mention anything about traps, but I did find the Demon Hunter to be the closest. Now that I know she has traps that will be who I use! Timman-The "trap assassin" is a certain build used with assassin which lays little sentry gun type things around shooting anything from flame to lightning, to just pure death.

No Paladin this time around so I might go with the Demon Hunter as well.

I tried out a witchdoctor yesterday. It handles a lot like the necromancer. Level 2 unlocks a powerful summon that commands 3 hell hounds. They don't do much damage but they create a wall in front that hardly any enemies can get through. They have a ton of hp too, so I sat back and launched my attacks from behind.

It seems like a pretty fun class to play.

Something I experienced last night was a little disheartening though. I had some lag in the single player portion. I highly doubt it was my computer hardware, but my internet connection. I did not know your position and actions were all checked by blizzard servers in single player.

Then I realized there isn't single player. I was actually on a server that was set to private. I thought the game authenticated and then let you play, but it seems it constantly checks what you are doing.

This would be fine, but I did experience lag so I was a little put off by it.

Jeez, that is annoying, as if it isn't bad enough that you need an internet connection to play single player, now you have to experience lag? They better get that fixed.

Tim, have you tried a character that uses a bow.crossbow yet? Do you know if it's a viable build, or if it's comparable to other builds? I was a bowazon fan, in d2, I'm hoping it's not really underpowered

I was planning on trying a Demonhunter tonight. They dual wield cross bows, so that will probably be exactly what you are looking for.
