Originally posted by ZBergz I enjoyed D3 for the first play through but I find it does not hold any long term appeal to me. What gave D2 longevity for me was that each character I built was different from its predecessor. In D3 every barbarian is the same as every other of the same level. There is no reason or real incentive to create a second character of the same class. I think that fundamental change is why I stopped playing after the first month.
So instead of making a second Barbarian, make a Monk or Wizard. I don't understand why it HAS to be the same class. When I play an MMO (D3 is not an MMO) I don't make an alt of the same class. I choose other classes for diversity.
So just because D2 did it one way doesn't mean every other game will do the same. And since D3 isn't exactly like D2, that doesn't mean it's not a good game. I just means it's not D2.
Exactly. Sure, there is no point in creating a second barbarian (in fact, i have exactly one of every class) but you can explore different barbarian build. Just go read D3 forum ... each class has lots of different viable builds. I know the wiz class best. There are at least 3-4 builds with endless variations.
In some sense, this is BETTER. You can explore different playstyles WITHOUT having to level up another toon.
But what about the achievement for getting 2 of each class to level 50?!?!?!?!

it's to level 60.
and...Hardcore mode! (Perma death!) That's why you'd have two.

That is also why you have a total of 10 char slots.
