Blizzard Trashing Diablo III Skill Tree System

[Azmael Silverlance]

Well, it's the first time I've seen a screenshot of the soon-to-be-trashed skill tree, and I'm sure I'm not the first to say the style and presentation looks directly imported from WOW.

If uve seen D2 skill tree then youd say Wow imported it from there its just the visuals that are different mate.

Anyway its a nice thing to hear nevertheless. I mean im all up for innovations and all but what worries me that from all the trailers n gameplay videos we now hear that the game is still in development. there must have been alot of stuff trashed all of a sudden! Prehaps some bugs appeared and pissed some programmers off
Still 1 more year to wait . . . . seems too long :S
I think in a way they are slowing the project down to let cataclysm and SC2-part 1 rule over 2010 and then SC2-part 2 and Diablo 3 to pwn 2011! I mean marketing is important!

In all fairness, that screen seemed to be pretty old. It was actually a very nice setup at BlizzCon, with the style very gothic; it had an awesome stained-glass-window interface, and the icon art was DEFINITELY not WoW - a lot more brutal and bloody for one.

I dunno, some of those WoW ones are pretty brutal. Its just they're so small no one notices.

Nooooooooooooo!

Let's hope they don't continue to dumb this shit down.
I was sceptical when they announced that you couldn't manually upgrade your stats, but this???

It better be a fucking innovative and motivating system or else they'll suck a lot of life out of the levelling process. Why can't more games stay hard?

Take a close look at Demon's Souls and stop developing games that require little more than mashing your head against the keyboard...okay I don't know what the system will be like and I respect their development but still the suspicion remains that it will be dumbed down.

This makes me ANGRY.

YES! I TOO EXPERIENCE RAGE AT HEARING ABOUT THOUGHT AND EFFORT PUT FORTH INTO A GAME.
