I liked them personally. Better than to be forced to remake your lvl 90 char because you discovered your old build is slightly off

Respec is fine as long as it's limited.
So only 6 skills and 3 passives? oO
No traits anymore? Wtf? I liked the sound of those. 
Oh well, even though they are greedy I always trust that Blizzard will do the right thing. (Gameplay-wise at least...)

It might be simple, but also fun. 100 skills per char doesn't make the game good.
Heck, Dungeon Siege I has a huge fanbase and positive feedback, despite having autoattack as only skill for melee and ranged toons.

Yeah that's why I still trust Blizzard.
After all, the possibly only difference now is that you just put 1 point into lets say Charged Bolts, instead of 20 skills in the same spell.
And with Runes and how you choose these 6/3 Skills it should still be plenty of customization.

Why would you say that? Traits are present in the game  Where did you hear they also got dumped?

Wow. This game really started to be very different than its first shape. Altough I have liked most of the changes, this removal of skill points really makes me think. As far as I know Strength now also determines the magic attack. Does that refer only to the main ordinary attacks or also determines the strength of the skills?

So the prophecy of that Activision and Kotick would make Blizzard into an ultra-capitalist company seems true then.
Real money based Auction houses, lots of WoW mini-pets and mounts that can be bought for real money, hidden raised prices on WoW services such as server transfers, future WoW premium accounts et cetera.
There is NO DOUBT that the real money AH will be implented in WoW too and Blizzards excuse will be that they want to prevent gold selling.
Expect WoW's monthly fee to be dropped in the future - because Battle.Net itself is probably going to get a monthly fee instead.
Here is another very exciting Blizzard news that I didn't want to start a new thread about: Blizzard recently trademared/copyrighted the name "Mists of Pandaria". This means that the next WoW expansion will take us to a new continent, Pandaria, which will feature lots of asian influences. I can't wait to finally play as a Pandaren!

All these news about diablo 3 have definetly shaken my trust in blizzard aswell. Seems that whatever policies they had in the past are now long forgotten. And these changes made to D3 have definetly driven me off from it aswell, no plans to buy it anymore. It doesn't matter how much i liked diablo 2 in the past, it is the time to vote with my wallet against alot of these changes i don't find to my liking. Most importantly the constant online connection. I was mostly single player in d2(i did some battle.net too but nowhere near as much) and the fact that i would have to be online to play it is absurd for me.

Actually, standard rpg attributes like strength and dex are not in Diablo3. The diablo wiki has not been updated to reflect that "willpower" is no longer in the game.
The attributes are:
Quote:
1 Core Attributes
1.1 Attack
1.2 Precision
1.3 Vitality
1.4 Defense
1.5 Willpower
Willpower was nixed according to latest information from one of the Blizzard interviews. So only 4 "attributes" and the attribute points are automatically assigned when you level up.
Quote:
Attack
Attack governs how much damage a character does in all attacks, physical and magical.
Each point of Attack gives:
+x% Damage Bonus (based on class)
Precision
Precision governs the chance that a character will make a critical hit in all attacks, physical and magical.
Each point of Precision gives:
+x% Critical Strike Chance (based on class)
Vitality
Vitality governs the amount of life a character has.
Each point of Vitality gives:
+x Life (based on class)
Defense
Defense governs the amount of damage a character takes from all attacks, physical and magical.
Each point of Defense gives:
+x Damage Reduction (based on class)

I don't get it. So if there is no Willpower anymore, what defines how much energy/stamina/mana/rage you have? And does attack define the strength of your skills as well?

Attack determines the "strength" (damage) of any spell you cast, standard melee attack, ranged attack, or attack with any other skill.
AS for what defines how much "resource" you can have, I **think** that is determined by your character level. I just remember one of the recent videos saying willpower is no longer in the game and don't remember for sure how resource is handled.

The automatic assignment may sound like BS, but I like it. Yes! As a Power Gamer, I wouldn't be happy until I found the perfect way of distributing points. And with 4 stats, all sounding viable, it would take me hours to calculate stuff and come up with an idea that would take days to test, and then more calculations... gee! i'm glad that won't be necessary
this may interest you for those who haven't seen it already
SInce the fourth WoW expansion has been hinted, it sounds reasonable.

Those leaked plans were proven to be true, as the chinese guy who leaked them got fired or something like that.
Warcraft 4 will probably be released when they are done with WoW (some time after Titan comes out). And then it will set up the lore for WoW 2.
WoW has actually lost 900.000 thousand subscribers since Cataclysm came. But that's not weird, the game is old now - it isn't bad. Actually, the WoW lore has never been better and the content out now is really fun though very grindy...
I reeaaaaally wonder what Starcraft: Phoenix is though. I hope for something like Starcraft: Ghost but that sounds really unlikely.
Perhaps we will know at BlizzCon.
This is what can be expected at BlizzCon:
* WoW X4: Mists of Pandaria announched. Pandaren become playable.
* Preview of the last content patch of Cataclysm, featuring the Deathwing raid.
* A lot of info about the Starcraft II Heart of the Swarm expansion.
* A lot of info about Diablo III, which they are trying to release at the end of this year.
* Some minor details/hints about the WoW movie.
* Some minor details/hints about Titan.
I am also very excited for the Diablo 3 beta!
You can opt in for beta now on Battle.net

I hate how they butcher all cool characters of Warcraft by letting them get slain by a bunch of weaklings from gimme_loot guild. 
And Arthas death. That has to be the WORST climax of a story ever.
