Diablo III: Introducing the Paragon System

Jay Wilson writes:

"While working on patch 1.0.4, we came up with all sorts of ideas for ways to improve Diablo III. Some of them you’ve probably already seen, such as the general systems changes, the awesome buffs for Legendaries, and the improvements we’re making to the barbarian, demon hunter, monk, witch doctor, and wizard. The entire team really banded together to get as much into this patch as possible, and one of the exciting changes I’d like to tell you about today is called the Paragon system."

Looks like it's back to DIII for me!

I'll check it out, but with GW2 coming out this saturday, it's a little too late for most folks who left.

Guild Wars 2! Hells :YEAAAAAH!:
:)
It's going to be taking up my time just as much as it is now finding videos and re-reading information on the game over and over and over again.

I never played any of the betas but I don't need it :)
I just can't wait.

Most people hail GW2 as the 'next big thing' .. meh, I played its beta but it's really not that great.

Anyway, I'll be playing it together with D3.

It might get me to play Diablo 3 on the side again so I don't get ENTIRELY burned out from Guild Wars 2 (if that is even possible :P).

I guess I'll have to see what happens with the 1.0.4 patch coming out. I just don't have the motivation right now as I am awaiting it in case a legendary item is waiting to drop for me. The game was a disappointment for me because of it not having at least the mechanics or at least the possibilities Diablo 2 had created.

The paragon idea isn't such a bad thing. I am happy I never even stacked or stashed magic find gear. I just found the item hunt dragging on without a push to find the next best thing or making different or crazy combinations instead of having to stack survival gear.

I still don't think it'll entice me to come back and play Diablo 3 just because of these changes though the more I think about it.

But, for now, I am awaiting Guild Wars 2 <3. Addicted to the videos that are out and every bit of information released on it.
