Stop complaining. Seriously.

If you go on here or b.net forums, all you get is people complaining:

-This one level we saw wasn't dark enough.
-The witch doctor is too hunched over.
-I hate the new inventory system.
-Respecs would ruin the game.
-No (necro/sorc/ama/pala/druid/assy) in D3? Thnx Blizz...
-*insert any similarity in any way to wow* is terrible.

I hate to be the one that breaks this to most of you, but D3 isn't going to be the same as D2. Blizz will be doing new things, which is good, they know what they're doing. Right now nobody here really knows anything in the large scale. Complaining about something like x feature being game breaking, or the whole art direction being wrong, after watching a 20 min gameplay video or by reading a Q&A is moronic.

While I agree that some people are just hating for the sake of hating, i don't think there's anything wrong with critiquing visible features. Reading too much into the final product from a quick look at a pre-alpha demo is silly, but legitimate complaints can be made at this point just as legitimate praise can be dispensed.

You can't really allow one without the other, so long as opinions are somewhat justified with evidence and facts...

There will always be people complaining when there's a sequel to such a popular game with a huge fanbase. That's just how the story goes.

It only looks like everyones complaining. Whats the use of making a new thread saying you like D3?

Forums are there to discuss the critiques not for agreeing with each other how good the game looks.

Can you imagine how boring forums would be if that was the case? :D

Agreed, but certainly I think people need to realise that the game has just been announced Just relax a little, is all.

Exactly. Everyone needs to calm down. Sure, voice your opinions. But that's all they are in the end, opinions.

As for complaining on forums, if no one complained, then there would be no debates over subjects, everyone would like everything. Not my idea of a good time.

after i dont know exact but 8+ years of waiting... i can agree on complaints without nothing to back it up with but hell yea forum is meant for discussions and voicing opinions and not just a place where you wait for the final product.

I think everyone understands we all have been waiting a long time. But it's just a game. It will always be there.

Gee, not everything is perfect! Who'd have thought! And we, being customers (and therefore king) voice our complaints.

This is the exact same 'whine more' attitude seen at the Flagship forums just before the HGL release.

I hate to be the one that breaks this to most of you, but D3 isn't going to be the same as D2. Blizz will be doing new things, which is good, they know what they're doing. Right now nobody here really knows anything in the large scale.

Right now we still have some power to change things. 'When more information comes out' and Act 3 has giant sunflowers and unicorns, it'll be too late.

I'm relatively pleased with the discussion I've seen. Most of it seems to be constructive and although I don't agree with all of it, I am happy to see people voice their opinion. We've been waiting a long time and Blizzard has shown they are willing to work with their customers to better their games, as shown with Starcraft 2. I think it's important that Blizzard has a good idea of what the majority of players want and to incorporate that in with their thinking of how things should go.

Hell, having waited so long, I was willing to accept nearly anything stamped with diablo...
