I've been in closed beta for a while. I am glad that everyone else gets a chance to play this, as it means more friends to enjoy the game with for once :D

We had a nice party. A wizard named Frank, an old man with Parkinsons and a Demon Hunter dressed like a whore.

Note: For co-op games with more than a couple of people, voice coms would likely increase the enjoyment level.

Trid and I tore through quite a bit of it with the Monk / Wizard team of two after you guys logged off, was pretty fun. Agreed on the voice chat for coordination; is Ventrillo still the best option for a free multi-user audio channel, or is there a better option these days?

I'd definitely like to play through it with voice chatting when it comes out. I could run skype without video in the background. And I'm making another Witchdoctor.. what a crazy class.

Did anyone think the leveling system was way too linear compared to 2? I was kind of hoping they would keep the point buy system ...

I also wasn't happy that your weapons seemed basically useless except as dmg modifier jewelry for your skills/spells and such ...

Yes, I thought the levelling was very linear, I was surprised when I didn't have options and couldn't increase existing skills, eg put more points into Spider Jar attack to increase number and duration of spiders or something.
