There have been many changes to the game - 90% of which I am in favour of!

I don't think I'll be buying another Blizzard game soon given the shitstorm that has been D3. Too bad, as I'm sure it's a hell of a ride as a game. But I refuse to give those corporate greedmasters my dole money haha.
Still haven't bought an Ubi game since UBIDRIMGATEStatistics: Posted by Rinox — Fri Jun 29, 2012 4:52 pm

Then a little google later, turns out I'm one of the many people that have been hacked. However, I will say this for blizzard - their reply to me was a professional and well written reply, it seemed personal too. At the very least it wasn't just a carpet email linking me to trouble shooting as many people have complained that they have received. They gave me the choice of a roll-back, but there were a couple of quid pro quo's attached to it.
*If I rolled back, I would not be allowed to use the real money auction house unless I had an authenticator on my account. (Which I do now, and as long as you have an iPhone, Andriod or BB you can get fro free, but I don't so had to buy one.)
*You can only roll back twice.
*If you roll back the 2nd time, you lose complete access to the auction house until you contact blizzard with proof if I.D.
I agree, Blizzard seriously need to sort out their security; but it does seem they are taking these breaches seriously and in their stride.
The hack happened very fast too. I was playing single player (always on DRM) and it came up that I was logged in on another computer, and so I had been logged out. Straight away I logged back in (to buy time) and in the mean time opened up the battle.net website to change my password. No sooner had I done this and logged back in (about 60 seconds) my stuff was gone, my character was back at level 1 and there were two unknown names in my recent players list. My game was NOT open to the public at the time.
From what I've read, the hackers are using some kind of force session ID script; so they never even have to look at the log in screen.
I decided against my roll back as I was only level 29, and in two levels from there the stuff I'd be finding would far outweigh that of the stuff I'd lost, so I'm saving my rollbacks for level 60. I've still kept on playing and stand by the fact that if you like Diablo 1 or 2, you will love this game. It's just a shame that they didn't see this coming!

- Blizzard collects a bazillion preorders
- Tells gamers that even offline (single-player) games will need to authenticate with battle.net beforehand, promises the sky
- Game launches, rampant login issues for a few days
- Two weeks down the road, stories of hacked accounts pop up. First dismissed (by fanboys mostly) as obviously caused by hacked players' carelessness.
- Quickly becomes clear that hackers are actually hacking accounts through battle.net procedures
- News today, Blizzard delays launch of their (real money) auction house because of massive problems with auction house so far (duping, gold disappearing etc)
Just wow. At this point I wouldn't even play it for free. Talk about a disregard for customers.

I guess it just has the right blend of nostalgia and fresh blend to it.
I will post more when I have the shot at really getting my teeth sunk in to it!

I don't begrudge others their time, though. If this is your cup of tea, by all means, I wish you dozens of hours of looting enjoyment.
