Demon hunters existed in Warcraft long before Diablo, so far as I
know; we've just not been able to play them till now. Plus the D3
demon hunter is completely different to the WoW one, D3 is more like
WoW hunter (except it can dual wield crossbows), ranged class, while
WoW is melee class, only thing in common is the name from what I can
tell.

Yet one of the most common complaints I've seen about WoD is no
storyline at max lvl... it adds something to the experience even for
those who don't see it as a major part of the game. Those who don't
care at all, well, I'm not sure why they'd even play an RPG.... they'd
be better in a hack and slash like Diablo where the primary focus is
loot :-)

I love the cinematics, but not in the middle of an instance. It's
awesome to link stuff like that... but as the healer I know if I stop
and watch I'll get "wtf heal" when I finish watching and find the rest
of the party dying because they pulled... it could use an NPC at the
end who'll replay them if you hit skip, because as it is, I don't get
to see them until I outgear the instance enough to go there solo/duo
with my bf. Waste of good cinematics!
