Hey all, hope no one minds me jumping in. Loving this game so far, it keeps some of the best elements of D2 and makes it way more visually appealing. I do miss the old skill point system a little bit, I enjoyed the uniqueness from a very specific skill build that would completely eschew unneeded skills and allow you to overpower your chosen skills slightly by loading all the points into those. But at the same time, being able to try every skill your class offers and having it scale to your level and difficulty (instead of pumping points in) so that it's immediately viable is very nice.
Release day was crazy, I slept from 10 PM til 2 AM, then got up for the 3 AM eastern launch. Thankfully, my friends and I managed to all get in through the massive traffic influx after about an hour and create characters, and played until I had to head to work.
I just finished Normal playing as a Monk, and he's epic. He's so fast, and does crazy amounts of damage. Final boss dropped a rare Daibo staff that basically doubled my damage - doing 499.90 DPS in the early stages of Act I Nightmare. (How does that compare to the rest of you? Should I be trying to find an upgrade?)
Anyone tried the auction house yet? I've tried putting up a few rare items, but haven't gotten any bites. Tried dropping the prices, but still nothing. It's a shame that items sell for diddly squat in-game, otherwise I wouldn't have to try the AH.
