I'm hoping for higher resolutions and modern DirectX support so D1 and 
D2 can run on modern screens at higher than 640x480 and 800x600...

Did y'all find D3 as big a disappointment as I did?

Enjoyable, fun in its own way... but it was NOT what I think it needed 
to be.

Though with the expansion, a lot was improved.

True, and at least now there's an endgame other than endless Act 4/Act 5 
runs. (Or for that matter, cow runs a la LoD 1.09...)

I went straight back to D2. D3 did nothing for me that D2 doesn't do
better.

Aside from a battle.net shared stash? ;)

I don't really do battle.net. 

I found the ability to build a character to my taste in D3 single
player mode extremely limited, and then was really disappointed when I
discovered that I can only have one character build. 

Starting the game again with a new character wiped out my existing
character. 

At least with D2 I could keep multiple characters & switch back &
forth between them. 

Plus, I bought two complete sets of the basic game + expansion sets
with legit product keys, so if I had to, I could take my characters to
battle.net open and trade equipment between them.
