Warp Zoned: Diablo III Beta Impressions: Your Idle Hands Will Soon Belong to Diablo

For those of us who have been pouting and kicking dirt around, complaining about how Diablo III looked too much like World of Warcraft, or how it was taking oh so long to have a release date, I’ve got some news for you. It’s coming, and it’s spectacular. From what I saw in the beta (that ended May 1) – a beta that comprised roughly 3% of the game, if you can believe what you read on the Internet – I can safely say that I’m about to lose a chunk of my life in the next few weeks. Forget blacking out from drinking: I’m about to go on a full Diablo III binge.

I'm crazy hyped for this game. Only thing I'm worried about is the lack of skill points and attribute stats. Its like when you level up there's not one thing to look forward to. Stat points are auto assigned and skill points are gone. Other than killer loot these are the things that made the diablo series what it is. So I'm curious if this game will hold my interest for 4 years like diablo 2 did. I liked making multiple characters of the same class that tailored to a specific fighting style. Now that's gone.
