You have not played D2. A lot of the people who played it have said it was promising. Please whine and complain after the beta. It is not just there to build hype.

If Promising equals: more cinematics, less orbit time, an in game Clan based LFG, and adventure patrols... sure. BUT if promising equals: no dedicated PVP servers, a massive scale down to 4v4 only PVP game play, 30fps, and relatively very little "new" content (ie. little in the way of PVP maps, strikes, and raids) then your definition of promising is ludicrous sir!
