Man, here I am finally back doing some gaming, and Battle.net is empty of my friends! Heather and I have been playing a good bit, and she's actually gotten quite a bit better. She's not a big gamer, at least not since the glory days of LucasArts, and this is the first game like this she's played, but she's getting the hang of it more as she goes. I think her wiz and my barb are in the high 40s. My wiz is now 60, and I'm working on paragon 8 I think? Playing on Torment I right now, but may bump it up in the near future. was talking with Heather about the old days, playing with Matt and Aimee ... I miss those times. Matt, come play! I'll be your meat shield, and you can make lots of jokes about how big and dumb I am!
But yeah, still liking the gameplay changes. Elite enemies are much tougher and more interesting, drops feel about right so far. Once the expansion and adventure mode are here, I think there will always feel like plenty to do. And good god are there a lot of achievements. I knew there were a lot, but going through them again the other day ... Jesus, you'd have to dedicate your life to playing to try and get even half of them. Kind of cool, though. The game is clearly trying to give you a sense of progression no matter what you're doing.
