First Impressions

Killing in a SP or MP or MMORPG is all the Same...>Do you remember the First time you played Diablo 1, you died on level 1 of the church did you NOT, until you learned that a Mace is best @ killing Skels or how to use a doorway or later you learned a Bolty trick...>Tel-a-Kill [sp?]

Hello Jim,

Although I'm not too involved in this forum, seing that MMOGs do not appeal much to me, I have to point that IMO this is an incorrect assumption. In my case the first time I played Diablo was in a Games convention about 20 minutes before they closed for the day, and with my trusty Rogue reached level 3 without much trouble at all, without even knowing that the shift key would let me fire standing still or that I was supposed to put on the stuff I was picking up. Most of my Diablo friends reported similar results when talking about how they started playing Diablo, a couple of minutes and they were clicking monsters away with impunity, although with the "it got harder fast" closing remark in most cases.

That is to say, Killing 1-2 early, normal monsters before running away waving your arms in the air hoping you won't be caught by other monsters should not be an issue when you're not playing Nethack ;)
