All legitimate issues, all worthy of fixes. We still have bots, and a paragon creep, and issues with sets being the endgame. Think of all the missteps Diablo has taken in the past few years, and how many strides it has made since that bad beginning. Something as simple as the new zone added the last patch has me more excited for what is to come. That passion is still there, the fun is still there. Not out of desperation to soak up every last ounce of playtime, but out of pure enjoyment. Right before my daughter was born I threw myself heavily into Season Four, playing as much as I could. That time can be draining but the biggest danger with speculation is allowing it to erode your passion. Diablo fandom isn’t easy, we had a long drought from D2 to D3 a long beta, and now the wait for the next reveal. It’s too early to allow that to alter our perspective. Like a child expecting a Transformer for their birthday only to see a Go-Bot, we feel let down. It’s hard not to be disappointed with what we see coming up at Blizzcon. With speculation comes the connecting of dots and the lowering of expectations. I came on to the site in the midst of speculation, and while we always want answers it’s always fun to kick around ideas about what is on the horizon. A rebirth in speculation, and a rebirth in passion. A rebirth not just in print but in the game itself. That being said, the time I have had has been invested in reading and keeping abreast of what’s happening. I also haven’t been sleeping as much as I’d like to. I won’t lie… I haven’t been gaming as much as I’d like to. Which is ironic as that would have been my Job at blizzard had I taken it…queue drum. We have thankfully begun to hit our stride and I now can comfortably type and sooth an infant again. Apparently having a second child is more demanding than having the first.
