this was craziness! While D3 will probably get better over time, IMO the core total-respec design choice is going to be a really difficult thing to figure out how to make work in the long run. I still think it was a good choice purely as a fuck you to respec whining, but it doesnt feel much like you are building a unique character anymore. But about this kerfuffle, some thoughts-
- Brevik created Hellgate London. I mean, he thought of it! Bill Roper got the lions share of infamy over the debacle, but Brevik was the programming lead, and it was his Brevik's original idea. I feel like the flagship forums practically invented the art of fans violently backlashing against games they like, and the blizzard forums are on fire with that hateful legacy. Wilson's nerves are as raw as the flagship producers back in the day. There is some kind of irony there. Maybe a curse. Also, D3 is quite an impressive game, and hellgate london was fantastic.
- Marvel F'ing Heroes is the new diablo? Has someone been wiretapping my wet dreams? Gazillion also made the kid's free to play MMO Marvel Super Hero Squad, which is fantastic.
