Basic Summary
-Lvl 70 equipment is common, all current gear will be worthless. Even Marquise gems become the standard gem drop at lvl 70.
-All current crafting mats will be basically worthless.
-Gold is useless except for crafting, which is easily obtained by the millions in the new Adventure/Bounty Hunting mode. (He completes a bounty in ~5min and gets 220k).
-Paragon levels are added together by adding cumulative character Paragon XP, not the levels themselves.
-New Town NPC: Mystic. Enchanting allows modification of item Attributes. Transmogrify allows reskinning of items (even make a Mace look like a Sword).
-Difficulty selection replaces MP level selection as well as Nightmare/Hell difficulties. Normal, Hard, Expert, Master, Torment I-VI. Higher Torment difficulties are about MP9-14 equivalent.
-All Waypoints unlocked in Adventure Mode.
-New Character Stats: Toughness: Basically EHP calculated w/ dodge chance. Crushing Blow Chance: Chance on hit Crushing Blow deals a % of a monster's current HP as bonus dmg.
-Completing all bounties gives bonus rewards: Horadric Cache (loot bags), Blood Shards (used for gambling system). New merchants that use Bloodshards as currency to buy Horadric Cache's or Mystery items.
-Nephalem Glory: Move faster, chance on hit to cause energy wave blasts, Health/Power Globes magnify intensity and extend duration.
-Stash shared between characters with a tab for each character.
-Revive at Corpse option added with a timer.
-Clan System. Create, or Find/Join one separated by language. Usual clan options like Roster, MotD, Clan/Clan Officer chat.
-Wizard: Critical Mass passive removed entirely. Archon time extension on kill replaced by damage boost on kill.
-Barbarian: Battle Rage: Into the Fray gives additional CHC for enemies nearby instead of generating Rage on Crit. WotB: Thrive on Chaos now gains life per Fury spent. Whirlwind: Hurricane now pulls enemies towards you and no longer gain speed. Blood thirst gives life on Fury spent instead of Life Steal.
-Each class gets 1 new skill with new runes.
-Life Steal: Nerfed down on existing items, not available on new items. Runes/abilities that granted Life Steal are removed/replaced.
-Potions now restore 60% of your HP.

And Noxious is streaming ROS a ton right now so check the stream box to see it in action. Nox is really good about interacting with the stream too.
 
I'm a bit on the fence over this, but I'm leaning toward not getting it. We shall see.
 
Have they said that this expansion will cost $60? I might have to wait until it drops in price.
 
I think I will pick this up when it drops in price. I'd pay about $20 just to play through the story. I don't see myself doing end game farming.
 
Yeah me either kel. We can def play through story together though with the new characters!

Ill consider going through the trouble of getting my account back and picking this up if there are people to play. I lost my authenticator in the move so I need to call blizz.

I had to send them a copy of my driver's license to get mine removed.
 
any idea how it will work with people playing without the expansion interacting with people who have it?

My guess is that you couldn't use gear or gems that drops in the expansion and may not be able to pick it up at all. I don't know about restricting grouping, but it could limit that as well. There's no reason to suspect it would have an impact on friends lists or socializing through chat.
 
Got my account back, but from what I am reading I am going to have to re-gear due to the gear changes...no biggie that means FUN time. A bunch of my EoA buddies are playing as well so plenty of people to play with altogether. I have a bunch of different chars at different levels so I am up for anything.
 
I've been thinking about snagging the expansion when it comes out.. might at least give me a month or two of something to do.

Do you have no Shame? Pile of Shame :), the list of games that you bought in Steam, but never got around to play?
 
I've been contemplating this recently myself. Never did go into Paragon levels or w/e, but I have a 60 monk and wizard.
 
Wow, I might actually have to re-install Diablo 3 eventually. I've been following this on and off and it seems to fix many of the issues people had. Still, it shouldn't take an expensive expansion to address problems that shouldn't have existed before, as subtle pointed out. Well, I can wait for a price drop.
