It’s a bit disappointing to me honestly. I was one of those guys who really honestly thought they would announce Diablo 3 this year, oh how I was wrong.
I guess I should’ve expected that they’d keep on trying to feed their monstrous beast, WoW, what with some competition heading their way soon. Honestly though Wrath of the Lich King looks pretty weak. There wasn’t even an exciting CG movie for its announcement, it was just some stagnant in-game “Story-telling”.
They’ve only announced one Hero Class and it sounds like it’ll be the only Hero Class to be added for this one. They have the typical selling points, new levels, new skills, new areas, new dungeons, new gear. Basically what they mean to tell you is new shit to grind for. That’s a boner inducing thing for some, but not for me.
One thing that put me off a little was the fact that they had “New options for character customizations” as one of the headlines, meaning changeable hairstyles and new dances. That’s cool and all and I’m glad they’re catering to the casuals/RPers, but it’s a little weak of them to have to list that as one of the selling points of it.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a faction grind to “Learn” the new emotes.
