It's on par with D1 and D2 when they fix the bugs. The UI is horrendous, retarded, bloated with too many graphics and it isn't customizable in the least. You can't view all of your character stats without having a scroll bar, you can't scale the UI so it doesn't show gigantic even though you have a higher resolution and aren't completely blind. In a game that's action based it's not very good at letting you see and get back into the action if you're doing something in your inventory.

They need to take some lessons from World of Warcraft and other MMO's concerning the UI.

It would be nice if the game didn't use the same dungeon tile set for everything (aka Waterloo "bridge" was just another damn subway tunnel) I'll give them the benefit of the doubt seeing that I haven't been through the entire game yet.

It would be nice if the world was more akin to current MMO's with explorable area's between towns and not have everything be instanced.(most of the levels sofar seem to be get from point A to point B and there may be s small side area to look at, but there's no real exploration involved... the few buildings you can enter are all the same exact model.(I believe there are only 2 types really... besides that one library... more of that shit would be cool, I want to explore london and not fight mobs of zombies while following a crapily built level with no depth to it. (if you have ever played "S.T.A.L.K.E.R." the openness and explorability of buildings is what I want to see)

The inventory fills up too fast, too much of a pain to go back to town every 2 minutes so i end up just breaking all of it down except the really good pieces.

There's no way to transfer items between characters even if you subscribe except of course by wasting someone else's time holding it for you.

what else can I complain about? I guess that's about it for now.

Millennium battle was one of the coolest missions/maps though... if I remember right it's one of the area's used in all of the previews to show how cool the game is.

I really like how the loot drops are different for everybody in the party... If you start playing the game, loot everything because nobody else will be able to loot it for you, dont' worry about being greedy.
