I loaded up the Demo today and played through it, here are some thoughts:
-The game feels exactly like Diablo 1 and 2.
-The engine runs very smoothly.
-The game still retains the "dark" feel to it, even though the graphics are animated now and not following that "real" style they were aiming for back in the day.
-The UI is pretty good.
-The lack of stats doesn't really bother me much.
-The loot lottery is still as fun as it was back in the day.
-Crafting addition adds a lot to the game so far, wonder how it will hold up in the later levels.


My only gripe is that the textures are not as high res as you would expect in this day and age, especially when zoomed in. They are well done, but it seems one setting too low from what it should be. Of course, it is possible High Resolution Textures are not part of the beta.

So my only gripe is the textures.

Can't wait to play.

My only issue too. I noticed that right off the bat but assumed it was because it's a beta..

I think its amazing... I want to see how much money I can make off of selling items on the RMAH lol

I've heard this, but I haven't seen any exact info about it. Do they keep a % of each transaction or something?

Ugh, its not cartoony like wow is it?
