Diablo 3 Patch 2.0.1 went live today.

When you get the new expansion, let me know how it is.  I'm still on the fence whether I'm getting it or not.

I do like the adjustable difficulties whenever you want.  It feels like my character levels up faster, plus it gives a little bit of a challenge without being over the top.

I'm playing between the Barb, Sorc and WD right now.  When I get bored with one, I switch to the other character.  WD has the best survivability for me right now at expert level, but I'm sure that will change.  Sorc is fun to just blow things away, and there is always something fun about cutting shit up with an axe with the Barb.

Spider, don't know if you saw but Blizzard has a 50% XP boost going on now till the expansion hits. You can come back and try out patch 2.0.1 and get a 50% xp boost to slap on a few Paragon levels to your character before the expansion. On top of that you can reset your quests and get a guaranteed Legendary for killing the skeleton king. Legendaries are dropping about at a rate of 1 every 2 or 3 hours playtime now. Lots of reasons to come back and try out the game again and see if they have made any changes for the better. The patch has changed the minds of a lot of people that quit and are enjoying the game and are now planning on getting the expansion. It's worth a look anyhow. I know you left the game with a bad taste in your mouth and so did a lot of others, but the patch has changed a lot of their minds about the game.

I must admit the orange drops are nice to get.

Some of my friends are back playing it but I'm not particularly interested.  I'm busy with Final Fantasy XIV for the time being and I'm not really a hardcore Diablo player anyway.  D3 was OK when it was new, but I'm not one of those guys who was still playing D2 in 2007 or whatever.  I'm pretty much over it.

I've been playing pretty regularly with all characters lately. I do like the new gameplay with the adjustable difficulties, plus the 50% XP boost is nice.  I'm digging all the ranged characters and the WD especially.

I was playing Saturday Morning on my lvl 48 Hardcore Barb and decided that Hard difficulty was too easy so I moved to Expert difficulty. About 15 minutes later I hit a really nasty Arcane Enchanted boss and ended up dead. Total time played, 29 hours 56 minutes. But hey, that's how things go in hardcore, so I started over and yesterday I hit lvl 46 with a new HC Barb. Total time played, 8 hours 46 minutes. The new difficulty settings, loot 2.0 and the 50% exp boost we are getting now sure is nice. I think I'm gonna stay at hard difficulty for awhile though just in case.
