Diablo III - Part 2

[The Laughing Ma]

After i get my money back from Blizzard i'm gonna burn this pile of dog **** and post it on youtube.

In an ideal world yeah that would work but the reality is that you won't get ANY cash back from Blizzard, you'll get the cash from the poor sap who doesn't really know any better and in turn will actually give MORE money to Blizzard. I too thought about doing this, at least recoup the cost of the game then burn this turd but the fact that I would in turn be giving more money to Blizzard by doing this, well that fact just sticks in the throat!

After i get my money back from Blizzard i'm gonna burn this pile of dog **** and post it on youtube. You have my word.

Also can you imagine they spend 12 years developing this crap!!! hahahaha i think Blizzard has a really talented team. Right now i'm replaying Titan Quest and i have to say it looks and feels 12 times better then D3 and it was released in 2006 FFS.

So many things going wrong for you isidore...

First, this plan of yours to play a game you hate to make $50 by selling loots that take hours to drop for $5 ~ 10 a piece. Why would you waste your time like that?

Second, as The Laughing Ma pointed out, you make RMAH money from other consumers, not from Blizzard. Blizzard actually makes 15% of what you make if you get your earning transferred to paypal to cash out. Some sweet revenge plot you got going there where you actually give money to the entity you hate.

Third. Burn what for what purpose? The game is completely digital. Unless you find the data server for D3 and actually burn the portion of the hardware with your account information is saved, this gesture is doing nothing but polluting the air by burning some plastic lol

Some angry people posting in this thread. some that hate the game but they keep playing it. I guess it's the new trend to hate everything that is popular. Sad really.

Actually it seems it is rather more popular to defend to the hilt against the folk who are hating on the game, no matter how blatantly obvious the underlying flaws they are hating on are!

No, that's just not true. Hating on the best arpg, the best selling pc game? Why? Because it's not what some spoilt kids wanted it to be? It's just such a sad trend with all the trolls.

Well for some like myself (I started to play less to none) there is that small little hope that they'll make it better but always comes out as disappointment. My biggest disappointment was when there was massive duping of gold on the US servers (yes the US servers) and they didn't do anything about it and it was the day before RMAH went up and they still continued. We're talking about people streaming themselves online showing people how they were duping then the next day RMAH comes up and they still have the money and what? They didnt care because it will stimulate RMAH, following that they started that whole Game Limit thing to slow down botters? lol but you saw how that was a backfire as it restricted everyone from playing. I was trading with other players and couldnt create games because I made too many? because I wasnt using the AH to do my trading? lol... Diablo 3 is just riding on its previous title from Diablo 1/2/LOD, people can say oh its sold millions but that was because of the hype/franchise not because of the current game. They said they didnt change drop rates? bull**** because I've been farming Act 3/4 and have gotten more lvl 50 items than before.. level 50 items on inferno a (lvl 60 only mode). I know many people like myself were used to Diablo 2 but what made then successful was because they let people get better loot if they put in the effort not grind endlessly in hopes to get one item.

Remember back in D2 where you would get a godly weapon but if the perfect was 150% and yours was 149% yours would cost way less, and a lot of people farmed bosses to get loot, they even said that they didnt want people to focus on boss farming so they did the whole have to farm champs/elites then bosses if you want a chance at good items, and what? even if you did that you can go on for hours farming and you will get a tier 16.. then you get a tier 16 crap stated lol... 559dmg unidentified, 559 dmg identified etc...

I love this game because this was one of my favorite series from back then but I hate it because the new devs are no where near the minds of the original devs.

They brought back so many bosses/items (BROKEN ITEMS) from diablo 2 so if you think about it they were lazy to create anything new so instead of:
White < Magic < Exceptional < Set < Legendary < Runewords you get
White < Magic < Rare < Set < Legendary (even crappier stats than Rare (103 will buff it))

So with all of these changes they're trying to do, it DOES feel like we're beta testing, see how the community will react, change it, see what they do, change it and just drink that cup of coffee.

Thing is WoW devs will always have a WoW mind, so you cant throw all these things from WoW and expect it to work. WoW took things from Diablo, its what made it good but you cant take things from WoW and put it back onto Diablo.

Act 1, why was it good? maybe because the original devs worked on it, then when they tried to make it into an mmo thats when the team left? maybe? then Act 2 was okay, Act 3 and 4 are half assed lol. Random map generator? my ass look at people farming/botting areas why? because its not random. Their random map generator consist of 3-4 maps with the same layout/loots. Why emphasis on chest loots? also they're quick to hotfix things but are slow to actually make fixes which is why most people condone to start buying gold/botting/hacking etc... Yes Diablo 2 had that but I can still play the game soloing on my own without the NEED to use AH because I had my own resources to manage myself.

Alright end of my rant lol. I'll come back patch 1.0.3

edit: Question is are you enjoying the game?

[Gaizokubanou]

On the gold duping I know that the clock setting and canceling auctions worked and that's what the dupe was based on so I'm not sure whether it existed or not (and about people streaming the duping... most if not all of such accusations were pure crap because we are talking about 10k+ viewer streams getting accused yet zero, I mean zero videos were recorded to prove this).

And about drop rate dude you sound so paranoid. It's called RNG streak. Today I got a legendary, set and 2 rares off of Siege Breaker in just one fight, then had 4 rares drop on next run.

Why would you bring up non sense like that to hurt your credibility? You have a great point on how lame the item drop mechanic is, but if you mention things like the supposed droprate stealth nerf (hint, never happened), you only detract from your great points by clouding the issue.

Naw I'm just going based on experience and I'm not stating any facts, just from what I've seen. I'm not going to look for videos but I've seen the gold dupe on a stream and I was like oh bliz will do something about this so this is fine.. next day RMAH comes up, guy that was stream still has his gold?

And yeah you'll have your good days and your bad days trust me I've had 5 legendaries drop for me and my bro has had nothing out of the 200+ hrs hes played. I've had a day where I had 5nv and maybe 150mf~ and all blues drop, not once but constantly. My bro had old screenshots prenerf that had 0nv/0mf and still get 3 rares on a chest or drop. Not saying it should always drop legendaries.

I've had a good amount of time farming so I know when drop rate changes significantly, got to lvl 60 on the 19th and beat inferno diablo on the 24th so the rest of the days I've just been farming endlessly, yes I've gotten 1300dps weapons and a lot of 1kdps blues but its just not the same.

Don't take my post too seriously, you can agree or disagree with it but thats just from my speculation. And they dont have to tell you if they changed the drop rate, hell it could be dynamic on certain days but they wont tell you that. Before it was farm Act 1, Act 2, 3/4 if you're there. Now the only viable ones with decent loot is Act 3. Been farming bosses on Act 4 and they've been giving me lvl 50 items, seriously lol... Not saying everyones loot table is the same because I think they're not, I was crafting lvl 62 shoulders and they keep giving me 150-200+ str on like 26/30 crafted, I'm not kidding lol I have a 60 Wiz/60 DH and its giving me 200+str on most of crafts.

I'm just venting out, I know some people are still enjoying the game but as far as enjoyability, not enjoying one bit.

And I wouldnt believe blizzard 100% on what they say, you think they put the game limit to reduce lag? or to reduce botters? and its funny how commodities were down for how many weeks? I said watch them put up commodities a few days before RMAH, and what happened? it went up.. with a game maker with such caliber you would expect more but more and more its feeling like those free 2 play games w/ micro transactions on the side.

If I were to read my posts or from another perspective it would seem that I'm just whining because in the end that is what I'm doing and I pretty much had a different perspective a couple weeks back and calling all the whiners noobs and how they dont have proper gear for inferno etc... but in the end I'm losing interest fast on this game and I'm usually bad at losing interest at grinding/farming games. To me it just isnt fun as it was back in the ol days but then I would be comparing two different games eh?

But really this is just my views, for those still playing just take it with a grain of salt, I don't have pictures of proof of everything happening, just going by experience. I'll be playing again just not for a few days/weeks

edit: In the end its just a game, cant go crazy over a game and most likely I'll be playing this after all the patches they throw out but for now I just probably need a break

The problem is i love rpg's and i wanted so bad d3 to be the best i ever played. Of course i'm angry. It's a weird situation to be angry and trying to like the same thing at once.

Best ARPG?..This is total BULL..it doesn't even have those small RPG element of having a specialized build on any of the classes available in the game.

In Diablo 2, I had fun making a Polearm specialized Barbarian, or a trap specialized Asssassin, or a Werebear specialized Druid..

Diablo 3 is just GENERIC, you cannot specialize in any of your character and it has no replay value with the same class*.

I loath Blizzard for brainwashing people into liking anything tagged with the name "Diablo" (as in Diablo 3 this time)...And yes I hate this gambling application (its not a game).

TL2 is on my pipeline ^_^ for purchase after my recent acquisition of Max Payne 3.

And certain people in my workplace are excited about it too, we already planned up a definite co-op only game .

Currently its $59.99 ($60) for four copies of the game on Steam (keep 1 and send 3 others to friends for Co-oP)
-> http://store.steampowered.com/app/200710/

Vs A single copy of Diablo 3 <- LOOOOOL

I know whats worth

Plus Infinite dungeons (mmmmm)

Probably a great idea, because you won't get any argument from me on how badly the whole item drop and inferno scaling is done.

If this game was launched without any huge exploits left open (like the Act 2 chest bug or Act 4 let tyreal kill a mob you couldn't even get to for 1k dps weapon), I seriously doubt that the market would've progressed at the pacing it did.

And @everyone who are looking forward to TL2, I think TL2 is looking great, but let's not put crazy amount of expectation here. Yes they from the people that brought us D1/D2. GREAT! Except they also brought us Hellgate: London (epic fail), then TL (not bad but same deal as D1). So here is hoping that third time's the charm and TL2 bring good mix of what made D1/D2 great with some fresh elements to make it stand out.

I say let's be reasonable and keep the expectations in check so we don't rage in case it doesn't deliver us into a state of nirvana.

Unless you got in the beta and played it extensively, but then again I heard they only did Act 1 beta so even the beta testers got less than a 1/3 of the game (3 acts but games like this isn't just beating every act once, it's farming them all and doing fun stuff like infinity dungeon which I heard was going to be in TL2).

So anyone who hates on the game no matter how valid the reasons is being a spoilt kid?

I assume you are being comically ironic with that statement because if you aren't you have in fact just validated my previous statement!

I know, but seriously that poor sap is a moron and he deserves it.

Fair point, well made!

[eclap]

Most of the haters have really shallow reasons for bashing the game tbh. Like, it's too easy, it's too hard, it's ugly, i quit because the game had a rmah etc.

[Darkest]

Most of the people I've talked too and read of who dislike the game have gave structred reasons as to why. It's the rabid fanboys that get on my nerves the most. Blizzard has some of most hardcore fans in the gaming community. Sadly, many seem to wear blinkers 24-7. Mind you, it's far worse with WoW than it is with D3.

Also, D3 is the best ARPG ever? What? I'll take D2 in its current form over D3 any day, I'll also take Titan Quest. D3 was fun at first, but got old seriously fast, and really wasn't worth the price tag. That's while ignoring the plethora of issues the game has and trying my best to be objective as to how the game would be in its best possible state.

[eclap]

It's down to pp. for me, it's the best, followed by sacred 2. I understand if people don't rate d3, but some of the reasoning is very lame.

[Darkest]

I can agree with that, but you have to admit a lot of the complaints are valid.

As for Diablo, slightly off-topic: If you want an almost D3 experience (difficulty-wise and in some other respects) but with the old D2 complexity, I would HIGHLY recommend playing D2 with the Median XL mod. Great fun, you can't play online without using direct connect or LAN - but that isn't too much of a problem if you've a good friend group.
