I think GW2 has enough innovative features and a large enough world (true pvp and end-game) to be worth more of my time at release than diablo 3 will with the addition of patch 1.0.4.
Well, let's just hope for a better PvP than they had in their last attempt. Guild Wars, billed as a PvP centric affair, was an utter failure in that very respect in which they claimed to cater to....that being, PvP.
It's not just my opinion. I have yet to hear anyone claim GW PVP was anything but an imbalanced failure.
not bashing diablo 3, Im just saying GW2 is looking like game of the year material
It very well may be. I'm such a one game kinda guy though, it'll be awhile before I try it out. If D3 just can't get off the ground in a years time, I will be joining you and many others on the Anet realms. Though I honestly think an awful lot of folks are going to be getting turned around to D3 over the coming months.
It was only 4 months ago that I was smashing my bad ass Imbagon through those pixelated lands. Probably have about 400 ectos and who knows how much gear just rotting in my stash.
Oh my... "Certainly not an uncommon build, but this is a great item for any pet-focused witch doctors, and with the pet buffs also coming in 1.0.4 we think it’s going to be very desirable."
Hubba hubba.
"As a reminder, these changes will only affect Legendary items that drop after the release of patch 1.0.4."
I gotta say I'm very disappointed in the YouTube comments. People are obviously not good at reading video descriptions or noticing the enhanced stats that were even shown in the video. Everyone is just assuming the Legendary Update is "new sparkles"
The legendary rework is everything I'd hoped it would be.. I was just hoping for them to acknowledge the drop rate feels a bit too low, and they could increase it now that the overall number of players has decreased (or so people say).

Spoiled kid gamers (who happen to be a lot of the Blizzard fanbase) are being irrationale and saying shit? OMFG!!!!! we should be getting used to it by now...
Those comments and the video rating pretty much proves how much blind hatred is directed at the game, and how little "constructive criticism" is being given, despite what some idiots feel like defending. Constructive criticism is at best 10% of what we've seen in the last couple months. Hypocrisy at its best.

meh...it's cool to be a hipster douchbag. As was proven with great emphasis today on the Bnet forums by a couple of martyrs that got banned for doing it, a few users necro'd dozens of "I QUIT/FAIL GAME/OMG I QUIT RAGE" threads from 4-10 weeks ago, showing clearly that those same people were indeed still playing.
Patience is a virtue (sparse as it may be) and I gotta hand it to Blizzard. This 1.04 patch is just the first step in what will undoubtedly bring great change over the coming months.
New skorn looks like a 2h axe barb might be possible. Did you see the crit damage bonus on it!?
I *believe* that is a part of the "balancing 2h vs 1h" stuff. The staff also had > 100% crit damage on it too, which lends itself well to the fact that they acknowledged that DWing outpaced 2hers, and that one of those areas was certainly sockets and the fact that 2x 1hers could net you stupid stats like +200% crit damage whereas 2hers lagged significantly behind, particularly on the stats.
I could be wrong, but that's my interpretation of that particular stat. It's plenty rad, though!
I wish they had shown the new stats on Windforce instead of the just the particle effect. It was my favorite weapon in D2. Wanna be able to use it when I roll a DH.
Blizzard pls

GW was fun. A lot of great memories.

Dammit... I have to stop playing now, so I can check off my summer sale games before I completely forget they exist.
Yes. That has happened to me before.
Hubba hubba.
