in my opinion, this game is getting wayyy too similar to diablo 2..
first of all, these new green items are almost exactly the same as set items in diablo 2. they're the same color, they have names like _____'s sword or whatever, and there are multiple pieces to it. and i guess you can say that the gold items here are equivalent to the gold in d2, the purple equivalent to the yellows, and so on and so forth.
im not trying to say gw and d2 are the same, gw is definitely better gameplay-wise and graphics-wise, but im afriad its going in the wrong direction? all gw would have to do now is buff fire elementaliists like crazy so they can spam meteor in pvp, just like d2 sorcs do in pk games. haha that'd do the trick?
GW=d2???!!!

Yeah, as far as I know there aren't any special bonuses for having a whole "set".

With the way the green "uniques" were implemented, things have certainly taken a turn for the worse. Apparently A.Net took the same approach with the Sorrows Furnace update that Blizzard did with the LoD expansion (and beyond) for D2. The only thing that somewhat comforts me is that GW's power curve is flat enough to handle it, but it's still a step in the wrong direction.
Everything else about the update is great though.

Yes any game that has any items that are green are o so obviosly copying D2, wait a sec..........

until A.Net puts an old man in everytown willing to identify everything in ur inventory, this will never be like D2!

Plenty of people have asked for a way to automatically identify everything in your inventory at once, so the old Dekard Cane is not out of the question I'd say...
To say that it's become more like D2 due to the inclusion of green items is just silly.
WoW has green items too, and they're more like the D2 ones than the ones we have.
Diablo 2 isn't the epitome of everything bad in a game anyway.
Diablo 2 was wildly successful, and just because it was plagued by cheating etc, doesn't mean that making anything similar to it is bad.

It's the equivilent of you saying, "I'm weilding a PVP <insert name here of max item>" as it is to saying, "I'm weilding a Boss's <insert name here of max item>" So it's really just a way for PVE to compete with PVP easier.

Correction to my previous post:
This thread is a MONUMENTAL waste of bandwidth.
I am all for compare and contrast in a debate on an issue that is important to so many people (suddenly and inescapably it seems), but this is just stupid.
