According to the official Diablo 3 web site, Blizzard Entertainment is making some major alterations to its action RPG. Yep, that's right, looks like there's been a lot of feedback from beta players and based on their complaints and suggestions, Blizzard will evidently make some changes in the crafting system, inventory, items and basic attributes. On top of that, they'll be revamping the skill and rune systems, although they weren't quite ready to talk about that just yet (When will they be I wonder... in the year 2014?).

Here's a bit more about the changes that are being made:

The design team is currently looking at systems and cleaning them up, removing any superfluous system objectives and those that are beyond fixing. Thus, we're removing the Mystic artisan. As we look at the big picture, the Mystic simply wasn’t adding anything to our customization system. Enhancement was really just the socket and gem system with a different name, and it would prolong the release of the game even further to go back to the drawing board and differentiate it, so we’ll revisit the Mystic and enhancements at a later time. Removing her from the game took some time, but it’s nowhere near the efforts that would be required to flesh out a better customization system. We hope she’ll be able to join your caravan in the future, but for now we’re going to focus on the extensive customization options the game already offers.

We're also looking at systems we’ve created and making sure that the rationale that brought us to these designs still makes sense. The Stone of Recall, for instance, has a short cast time and allows you to return to town. Early on we said we wouldn't have town portals, as they introduced too many combat exploits, but we were able to resolve them. Because we have the Stone of Recall, though, we began to evaluate systems that were originally implemented to deal with the exclusion of town portals.
