A game with purpose to farm gear got boring after buying everything from the AH and zerging through the game without actually farming anything? Wow, what a shock.
Wow what a shock, maybe people don't only play Diablo to farm for gear. Ive been telling your kind this for years now. There are many ways to play Diablo, MFing and PvMing are only a portion of the game. Might be the biggest portion for you, but obviously not for him.
This guy gets it... D2 I could MF run like lightning on my orb sorc... or PVP on my hammerdin or amazon...
Or i could grind all the way to 99.... that took REAL dedication.. only did it on the javazon of course...
but in D3.. I have literally hit the wall... I did the wheel of misfortune.. I lvld my first alt without powerlevel abusing in only 20hr played..
No point farming.. I dont need anything... Im just looking for something I might have overlooked that some1 else has found to do in my situation.. some obscure dungeon or easter eggs not currently in the wiki.
Hell I even completed the Black Rock Ledger bits... that's how bored I am... I considered hardcore for like 10 secs but I live in NZ and play with 250-350 ping constant.. Death is part of D3 NZ life.
Also the auto-match public games.. its quick.. but prevents organised games.... you have to chance into a group doing what you're doing or just do it with IRL mates.
Mostly I just join public games and help them out/*flex* by facerolling over elite packs with 29k dps unbuffed and WOTB things into paste.
I'll just repost here what I said in another thread:
The current endgame of D3 is very boring.
Maybe it will get better but I don't know, they completly dropped the ball on legendaries and overall item system and are saying it will be fixed in a later patch (not 1.0.3 for legendaries).
The situation is really bad for inferno, and they react wayyy too slow in my opinion. If they decide to release untested/unfinished content like they did the 15th, I'm fine with that but then they should be monitoring and actively testing it and tuning it as soon as possible.
We are looking at a 1 month first patch that adresses only one of the core problem of inferno (drop ilvl %). The scarriest part is that they don't seem to see it as very urgent...
The addiction of loot farming is just not there. Loots are boring and all you want is to find a yellow that has the 4-5 stats you want, with good rolls. Everything else you throw away as garbage. This sucks.
If there were better affixes you could actually settle for something having one great affixe and minor ones, but you really cannot. You only want your main stat, some vita, allres if melee, liferegen/life on hit ON EVERY PIECES... Now you make a little probability calculus in your head and you figure why we feel we are looting crap all day long. And every affixes you get on top of those is just shit you dont care, they are just filler like Pick up radius, thorns, unwanted stat etc. You don't see those secondary attributes because they are worthless, you just see them as a nuisance for what could have been a better item if it had a vitality affixe instead of gold pick radius.
I've now down Diablo Inferno with both my Wizard and my Barbarian, I won't log until 1.0.3 only to play a bit of coop. Well, I hope I'll be able to do that because currently coop just blows in Inferno imo and since anything below A3 drops crap I cannot combine efficient farming and coop play with a melee (since they suck in A3+) -.-
Don't get me wrong I still think its a great game, but like I said it has issues that kinda prevent me from enjoying it more than I already did, and at least I'm persistent having finished the game with 2 characters, I know many people that just stopped midway in Inferno because its just a pure mess.
P.S.: As for making another character... Man Normal to Hell is just faceroll, it was cool the first time and maybe the second but getting a 3rd/4th character to 60 is just not interesting, I'm looking at 20-30H of facerolling followed by Inferno mess yay !
i feel the same way but im stuck at act 2 with my wd for almost 2 weeks, lvled a monk but i dont have the money to gear it. i used to play a lot but now i log like 3 hours a day
Same here, only i just play a half an hour or so just cause im so over act 1 inferno, and can't do shit in act 2.
There is NO endgame. They planned INF-D to be the end game, and its cake. So after that there's nothing... you just fill your inventory with rares, ID them all at once, and go no, maybe, yes can sell.
Had 4 legendaries, only 1 was decent and it was just an OK 2 socket Beckon Sail.
That's why it feels so, meh, at the moment end-game is just farming and the farming is boring. When I roll a great rare it doesn't provide any loot-glee, just mental pricing.
1 person says re-rolling Chars takes too long, another says it happens too quickly, both are using this as a complain
I think they need to improve legendary drop rates, for sure, but give them 2-3 random properties instead of 1.
To whoever said getting a Barb to 60 in 20 hours is too short If you play 2 hours a day, that's 10 days. Not everyone can sit at home all day contributing nothing to society levelling characters.

Maybe not long for me but definitely arduous, repetitive.
I work at a TV station, 7 days overnight, 4 days off, once every 6 months is part of the shift cycle.. I contribute plenty.
Lol and in comes a bigger moron then the OP.. wow this can't get any more rich. Please take your act 1 Inferno Hero's else where.
Mmmm... I like you. It is a real shame that PvP isn't in this game. Most likely to protect people like you from people like me. Darn shame too...
Bwwhahahahahahhahahahha 1850 in WoW iz hard bro.. seriously move along.
Ooo... shame I don't play WoW. So honestly no idea what 1850 is ha. If 1850 is how many times I will be able to kill you without healing then yea good one.

Wanna know about dedication?
About being good at Diablo 3?
Try HardCore... 1 life only.
I have been watching Kungen and Kripparian @ Twitch.tv
Gotta say is amazin how hard and how different the game could be just with one life... Lets see if you can faceroll everything...
Also you have achievs to do if you like... and of course play the game. People play a game cause they enjoy the gameplay, the atmosphere, their characters. Take WoW for example (just for example) once you killed the last boss you keep playing for your friends, your character, for the game itself. Another examples? Chess, tennis, golf, pool... come on! those games are so simple but people keeps playing because their enjoy the play.
I guess people like you wants a challenge, you didn't enjoy the game, you beat the challenge and now what?... its over... at least for you.

Again its not possible to play hardcore from NZ, as I DC probably 5-6 times a session, without warning, or massive rubber-band lag.
It does look fun, and the tube videos where they die are hilarious. Wow is a very poor analogy, WoW actually has an end-game, which is hella-hard because it cannot be solo'd, which once you have on farm, there are other aspects of gameplay, PVP, Vanity etc...
Achieves is an option yes, but they are quite farmable & i've never been one of those achievement-whores I just don't get it its a cool bonus when you pull one off and it dings, kinda like levelling up, except the hardcore ones of course.
Don't confuse me with a hater, I love this game, its just... there's seemingly nothing to do... currently once you can farm ponies... theres no point to do anything else, even if you want to mix it up with different mobs, as they ilvl is uncomparable at the moment.

There is as much to do after you clear all the content as there was in D2. If that stuff isn't what you want, move on to a new game. Making posts crying about how bored you are is just sad.

Well for starters, you didn't hit 99 in a day or a few hours tops. The MF was more apparent and fulfilling. Trading took time as well and even included some people skills, so you could in a way level up in that aspect. PvP and all the gameplay modes that brought with it. The list goes on, for every 1 thing Diablo 3 does right, Diablo 2 does 2-3 more ha.
I am concerned that Inferno is a difficulty you only beat once. With all the progression tied up in gear, once you got one character able to farm A4, they can easily raise the cash to outfit your other 60s in A4 gear. So all your subsequent characters don't have to spend weeks/months farming different things like your first one did, and can go from 1 to Inferno Diablo Achivement in a week. I would not be surprised if an expansion ends up concocting either a difficult-to-reach level cap, or some kind of similar system that offers progression unique to your character (BoE/Ps?) to address this shortcoming.
thats the main problem, is that there is this INFERNO difficulty that is only unlocked at lvl 60. in d2 i got 1 lvl 99 sorc and lvl 70's for every other class, and it took so many cow runs in 1.08 lod. plus dying made you lose exp! haha so many hours spent on that game. players are always looking for 'end game' material now, but honestly its just a loot game. if you buy everything then game's over... you become a trophy to show off to friends.

ps. anyone remmber white rings and sorc sojs?
This is why PvP prevails to keep games alive. It creates a real end game beyond grinding the same crap over and over for no reason other then to raise a few digits.
