I'm a bit sad I wasn't around back in the day would be awesome to be a diablofans veteran
Yeah this site used to have a really great community. I find things here now, however, to be a reflection of Diablo 3 itself: sad.
I just played D3 recently for the first time in months and couldn't have been more bored. And doing that made me wanna check in to this place again but all the people I remember are mostly gone. No one really visits the off-topic or general discussions anymore either it seems.
Mostly it's all just threads about character builds, how much DPS or GF players can get. Yeah this place, like the D3 game is a sad affair. You wanna see a kickass community for a game that's going to be something truly amazing, check out Star Citizen. Seriously.
How did they bill an expired card? A denial would instantly come back on to Blizzard if they are trying to charge an old card. That's what happened when I got a new debit card with a new number and Xbox Live tried autocharging my card when my subscription was up but they never got their money so they just cancelled my live account.
I read a great article on Cracked about the Umbrella Corporation once talking about how the author didn't understand how this company actually made any money doing what they do. It was quite hilarious and made perfect sense.
Is it the game Blizzard promised us with never-lasting content, an inferno thatd take months to clear, loads of customization, lots of great unique gear, a mad rush of fighting armies of demons with fun abilities, engaging and difficult events etc. ? Not even close, yes the game was good but it isn't what we had been promised and that leaves me very disapointed.
Well spoken. It really isn't D3 Blizzard was a bad game. It's that it could've or should've easily been a much better game. I remember statements from Jay Wilson before the game's release, retracting from a previous statement on how people had unrealistic expectations of the game. He'd later go on to reaffirm people that hey, we're Blizzard and of course you should have great expectations from this game.
I do think they had good intentions though. I think even that in their quest for perfection they got really bogged down in the details and then had to make up for lost time by making compromises and blanket solutions to what some would consider rather glaring problems.
What stands out for me particularly, has often been the lack of weapons animations for skills. Especially for the Monk. And whenever I'd complain about it people would say, "But you have no idea how hard it is to create 3D animations for all those weapons." And then I thought....well, the animations for basic attack are all already in place. Couldn't they just stack the skill's visual effect on top of the already animated effect of swinging the weapon? I'll take even that compared to me sheathing my weapon very quickly just to do a skill when I'm running around otherwise holding these weapons in my hand. And even if not all that, then can't I at least say, "But this is Blizzard. They wanted us to believe in these things they could do." And they did plenty to pump life in their hype machine ever since the announcement from legitimate updates to arbitrary tidbits of information and constant messages regarding revisions to the game. All just to keep the updates coming and keeping people excited about the game.
The feeling of end times was so much great in LoD. The ending to D3 felt really flat to me. And the High Heavens could not have been more predictable looking. And you see tons of these angels and there's really nothing special about them. Like we get only the slightest glimpses of angels throughout the Diablo games and now we find out they're like a dime a dozen and they all apparently look identical to one another.
Just how important is dex then? I hear at times its importance is overrated compared to other stats you can have. Unless you're getting mostly your dex from gems.
Hmm. So what's the highest DPS you've seen on a claw? Obviously life steal is great and that's how my Sin stayed alive in Hell, but can I achieve a respectable DPS as well?
My problem right now is not so much on deciding on an aftermarket cooler, but simply freeing up the clutter inside my tower. I've got a nonmodular PSU that's like freaking snakes on a plane inside my case. The worst part is the location of the power jack for the ATX. It reaches right over the mobo and plugs in the top corner. So if I put in a bigger fan and heatsink for the CPU I'm gonna really have to get in there and seriously rearrange my cables and even then I'm a little worried about things mushing up against each other.
I mean, all around the mobo besides that ATX cable, it's actually rather clutter free. All the extra power cables are hanging out in the bottom of the case, but still, my mid-tower case doesn't seem ideal for OCing. I really want to invest in a new fully modular PSU with maybe even a new, bigger case.
In case you wanted to get cozy and settle in for some nostalgic Fallout gameplay, I got you covered.

D2's story had a lot more intrigue.
