Alright just to clarify im pissed off and none of this should reflect how i feel tomorrow, i just need to type something..
First off Greater rifts, The fact that this is a timed event and you have rift guardians with affixes and abilities that let then negate damage for a set amount of time (Orlash, Fucks off for up to 6 seconds at a time not taking any damage, and does this 15-20 times in a fight, Now ill add on the gr 45 i just did he had 86 billion health)
Second, The fact that i'm more scared of certain white mobs then i am of Elites, (Example an entire gr full of winged assassins, thunder clap guy (Cant recall name) Fallen angels, All of which are pretty non avoidable damage),
Third, Elite affix combos (Vortex+jailer+arcane beams) Why ? for real, Pull you in make it so you cant move then shoot you with lazers.. all doing an insane amount of damage in high levels...
Fourth, Overall Rift guardian health, The fact that i can be 7+mins ahead when RG spawns and still not beat the timer.. (and i know your going to say my dps is shit, My play style is bad, i'm just bad,) This is false i have spent enough time on this game to know a thing or two about that class im playing.
Greater rift rant end.
Topic #2.
Why the actual fuck can't i have more than 500 blood shards at a time?, Everything else has a large stack size why not BS to?.
On that note why am i limited to 5 stash tabs that are universal i might add, and the way blizzard changes gear all the time im pretty much forced to keep most of what i find, leaving damn near nothing for space left over.
Topic #3
Enchantress,
Since they got rid of AH they added in an enchantress (i like the idea don't get me wrong) But don't you think since this game is now "Self found gear" they would let us re-roll as many affixes as we want?, as soon as you re-roll you cant trade with players that were in your party when the item dropped so why not?.
Also to end this, The chat system. Party chat to be specific.. I have the ability to click on clan chat when i see someones message pop up, but for example when im in "All" and chatting in clan chat, and i see a party message come up im not able to just simply click the :Party: text and start typing like i am with all others (Clan, community,whisper. ect ect)
Fuck it to leave on a less angry note, why not make use of the "PVP" arena a bit more, by adding in a test realm where you can pick a boss set the amount of health you want and shit kick him till he's dead, this would make gear changes alot more manageable if your looking for more dps without having to pull out a spread sheet of go test on ghom.
Have a timer, have a menu with a boss list, and how much health you want.
this would eliminate the need for theorycrafting and take some of the guess work out of gear changes if you can't make up your mind.
Simple and it would make use of something blizzard has already wasted time and money on...
Auto loot health potions after they introduced "Bottomless potions" into the game..
At least make it an option that you can toggle, or even better if you have a bottomless potion in your inventory you no longer pick them up :O,
And this is huge on this forum.
The blue to yellow/white mats drops rates.. i currently have about 55k yellows and only 4k blues,2k whites.. and this is all while i totally ignore yellows in rifts to save space for blues and whites. and the fact that it costs 73 blues 5 yellows to craft bracers if i wanted them is a little off to me. the ratio is pretty bad.
But besides all of this^ Diablo 3 has come a long way since day 1, and im glad the devs have listened to the community (kinda)
Now with that being said i think my rant is over until i get pissed off about something again tomorrow and feel the need to smash my second keyboard.
Damn u Blizzard ,why dont u just make every Greater rift with zombies and Stonesinger for a Rift guardian.And if possible remove affixes,they are too hard to deal with .And revert changes from Maruders set pls,so i can watch football game and play D3 at the same time.That would be a dream game.
While a rant is a rant I understand your frustration.
Everyone pushing the limits on their GR capabilities is fishing for zombie rifts, <insert other things that make rifts easy here> and sometimes part of getting to that next GR level is literally just having enough play time to give you enough chances to find that rift...
It is a bit silly at times the massive difference there can be in difficulty between two GRs of the exact same level. Not saying they should all be zombie rift easy, or the opposite end of the spectrum, but feels like the spectrum should be smaller. Like there should be a couple classes of monster, easy = {golgor, zombie, slow moving melee mobs } med = { archers, quillbeasts, other ranged type mobs } hard = { winged assassins, anarchs, fast/jumpy type mobs } and the rift should always be composed of some equal % of all 3 categories. And the categories could change slightly for melee/ranged classes and be a composite in groups. Never just 100% easy or 100% hard. Doesn't seem like that happens right now.
I agree with most of the rest of what you said, but they are all pretty common community complaints. Don't agree with being able to reroll every affix on an item - that means you just need to find one of any particular item and then basically you just reroll it perfect and you can never find a better one. Kind of goes against what the game is about. Enchantress just serves to slightly improve every item you find, not instantly make it perfect.
@Holyrage Implying thats what i want you fucking pleb..
I like i said Great rift guardians that negate damage on a timed event..
Not holy shit i want zombies and stone slinger all the time.. derp.
And as for the affixes, I said shit combos (Vortex+jailer+arcane beams) AS A COMBO, not get rid of the hard affixes...
The complaints are valid and his response was to Holyrage, not Spiralphoenix, at least I think so. I too get frustrated when I log in to do some grifts sometimes, only to spend a lot of time doing trials, and then having a story like this one: 'ok I have 3x 42 keys, lets do them. These rifts rock, finished in half time, neat. Lets do these 45 ones. Wait, what? Winged assassins only elites? Thats nice. Jailer/vortex/etc near the entrance? Yay.'. I could list things that are really stupid and annoying in this game too, but overall - everything has been said already and maybe blizzard will decide to do something with these issues someday. They improved this game a lot already, from an 'unplayable piece of trash the only way I can enjoy is by selling items I get for real money' it once was, it actually became a seasonal fun (by seasonal I mean 'play for a while, stop for 1-2 months').

Yeah man my rant was out of anger lol. but there are things in every game that i think need fixing, and im not the only one. Blizzard can't make a game perfect for everyone . But the little thing i know wont take long to fix that have decided to ignore for what ever reason. But then again this is a game about farming and its 100% RNG based even in a time sensitive game mode, that sucks, but its the way it is and i enjoy it.
Besides the ability to roll every stat on a item, I agree in some sense with everything OP said. I'm still surprised people like to do a speed timed run of dungeons that give you no loot, which is the most "f you" you can do to a Diablo game. Next time they remove the hoards of mobs and just allow you to do boss fights. At least go full retard with your designing policies. Why not being able to roll all stats? well obviously because then you really only need one item of its kind, and the game becomes a race to get reagents and gold to reroll all stats to your desire. This is pretty much the trifecta scenario of going full retard on this well designed game that just needs more serious love and not design ideas from the janitor.
Haha yeah i get the item roll thing was a bit off, but just think if you could use a ramalandni'sgift to re roll a second stat, that also uses 10 souls and 2x mats then the first roll.
Doing something else than adding a socket to a weapon with ramaladni would be very cool indeed. I dont even play that much and have 11 or 12 of them laying in stash (ok - lots of luck) and well, being useless, as even on all classes I cant find enough good weapons to use them up. Rerolling your way would be very frustrating though ^^

You haven't exactly posted you thoughts in an intelligent, reasonable manner. Just more of the same drivel we've read for years now, despite the extraordinary changes we've seen over the last 3 years. ........we just keep digging for material to complain about.
You (and many others) need to calm the fuck down, smoke a joint or something and try to relax while playing D3 and keep it within the context of a video game.
I grew up playing (and loving) games that would be considered so flawed and terrible by today's standard that they wouldn't even make it as a free phone app. .....and I'm talking about games that cost $50-$60 in the 1980's.
Keep your perspective and cease trying to hold D3 to the standard of perfection. It's a solid game and I feel much of this nonsense is coming from people that are burned out and perhaps need a break.
youll need immunity amulet for top spots on leaderboards....the leaderboards are 1-1000 of the best elem immun amulet rolls
Im #56 after the wipe, not new to the game. Love it to death but since i have been playing for this long some of the things i have been reading about people complaining about for years has still gone unnoticed and un-changed. my rant wasn't supposed to make anyone mad or fight, it was simply a means to vent my anger.
Im all for constructive criticism but when i come on here every day and see the same complaints that blizzard blatantly ignores and it gets to me, Its like someone poking you in the forehead for days and days and days at a time till you finally snap.
Now with that being said, this game has come a long way and ever since RoS dropped i have put more and more hours into it, Thats good. They have done it, they brought people back by making the game playable.
Now all it needs is a little more attention to detail and this will go down as one of the "Classics" a game playable for years after release.
Well said, my 2 cents. In T6 public games, we literally have to rush in order to have a chance to kill some monsters. I wish Blizzard could bring out T9 games in a new patch.

My suspicion is that they are going to be very reluctant to do such a thing because as soon as they do, build/class diversity will immediately take a severe hit and once again we'll see the number of builds in non-Grift content become limited.
As it is, we see all manner of whacky builds being viable in T6. Raise that difficulty cap and you injure build diversity.
As a point; I'm not saying this is good or bad, or that I support keeping the Torment setting as is. I'm just stating that they likely want to keep things open in terms of build diversity. The way that difficulty has to coordinate itself incrementally alongside reward scaling is also a heavy issue, and they likely don't want to reckon new/casual players into feeling intimidated by a comparatively small reward compared to what players would be getting on (for example) Torment 10.
