I bought it because quite a few of my friends are playing it, but I just can't get into it. Maybe if D2R didn't just release, I'd be more eager to sit in a queue for a mediocre MMO, but MEH.
I don't know how the gameplay is later on, but for the few hours I played in beta, it just seemed very generic. Action combat that isn't as good as BDO, gathering / crafting that isn't doing anything new, a faction system that seems like you have to flag yourself for(?) and I can't get over how bad the character models are. The environments are pretty though and I actually like the UI, very modern looking. I'll try to give it an honest shake this weekend or the following week.
