   Absolutely zero problem at launch with ROS, closed option to buy items from shop with real money or gold, improveed loot system for playingAbsolutely zero problem at launch with ROS, closed option to buy items from shop with real money or gold, improveed loot system for playing yourself and not to use AH/RMAH, new act and character, new end game...well, this game already gave me 700h and now is completely better and totaly diffrent as it was at start. Well made. Deserved 10 this time and I am going to upgrade my ROS to CE right now. /update, can not beat last act under 10 hours, its a real beast, if you explore and kill everything/. Just ignore reviewers, who does not buy the game and judge after few minutes playing at friends.… Expand

   I was one of those people who refused to buy the RoS expansion because of the pathetic game that diablo 3 vanilla turned out to be.I was one of those people who refused to buy the RoS expansion because of the pathetic game that diablo 3 vanilla turned out to be.
   
   However, the removal of the auction house and the integration of loot 2.0 was a surprising and welcoming change. A few months after RoS had come out, I game the game another chance. Now, after quite a few updates, seasons, and more updates I can say this is a perfect casual ARPG. Perfect, 10/10. Why? Well..
   
   1. [Variety] From the unique effects of many legendaries and sets, to the endless combination of builds the game offers an extreme amount of replayabilityl especially with the introduction of the LoN set which gives bonus power for each legendary equipped. The LoN set allows any build of the player's creation to be significantly powerful. This set alone fixes build diversity, for the casual players. If you are compeitive there will always be a small subset of builds that perform best. But the majority of the player base is not competitive, so for the majority the diversity and variety is perfect.
   - [longevity] Seasons were added to keep the game fresh, and ancient items makes it even harder to perfect gear, but all the more satisfying. You will never have perfect gear and although your search for a late game upgrade may be in vain, the possibility of finding the perfect piece of gear will make the hunt feel good, always.
   -[hardcore mode] despite blizzard's tendency to give in to whining fans (WoW) Blizzard has kept hardcore mode true and has not ressurected any player's hardcore character no matter the reason (even famous streamers who suck up to them). Hardcore offers an entirely different experiences, with identical variety and even more rewarding feelings if you live to feel them. If you want to truly value your character, and truly experience risk, this game mode can provide endless entertainment, especially with friends. Being able to lose items makes them infinitely more precious.
   
   In conclusion, Diablo 3 RoS is a game that can be played forever and that can be played effectively in every possible way (thanks to LoN set). Diablo 3 was not in this condition, not even close. I truly believe the expansion has perfected the game. If you are a competitive player, you will most likely have gripes with many aspects of the game, but for people who want to just slay some demons and have fun, this is the perfect game.… Expand

It was in a pretty bad state. But, after reading several reviews, it seems like they addressed all of my frustrations. No more auction house, the loot that drops actually matters, and advancing in the game isn't frustrating as hell. Now, I'm actually rewarded for time put in.
   
   As for the price, I feel the $40 was worth it. The way I see it, if I can get the same number of hours as the price I paid, then it was worth the buy. The addition of adventure mode and rifts helps a lot, as it makes farming and leveling a lot more enjoyable, and you don't have to be bothered by the lackluster storyline anymore! Speaking of lackluster storylines, act V wasn't very memorable, so for that reason, I'll give it a 9 out of 10. However, when I was thinking about buying Reaper of Souls, I wasn't thinking about storylines.… Expand

Removing the auction house improved the game play a lot, since it is no longer just about farming gold or paying cash to buy gear. Adventure mode adds a lot. The new crusader class not so much.
   
   The game is pretty basic over all, and there is very few possibilities for variation in strategy. The new loot system makes this even worse, since you only get gear that suits the vanilla build for your class.
   
   It is still a pretty good casual hack and slash game.… Expand

I'm still having pretty mixed feelings about the game overall. I never experienced the Auction House or some of the earlier complaints so I'm purely looking at this through my prior experience with D2 in its hayday.
   
   If you're looking for a single player experience where you want to run through the somewhat predictable story line this should deliver for you fine. I would wait for a sale or a price drop personally. Nothing particularly exciting that you can't experience through Torchlight.
   
   If you're looking for some multiplayer fun then I would think very hard before purchasing this title. The community is borderline nonexistent and heavily focused on end-game content. Don't expect very much help in terms of leveling or experiencing the game with others. The only way you can expect to legitimately go through the game with another person is with a friend.… Expand

   This game took everything fun about D2 out. I tried playing it since I own it but it's just such a horrible tedious game that it is no fun at all.
   
   It's all limitations; you can't trade for stuff you need, you can't give others stuff they need, the game play is repetitive and boring, you could spend years playing but never get what you need to feel like you completed a character.… Expand
