I thoughtthe p[oint of Diablo was to find awesome loot use it and use what skills you wanted to be the best. FORCING you to take a skill is a bad design and something the Blizzard team acknowledges and is going to fix. It's the main problem. Getting a rare with 100 vit isn't going to cut it. You need more, And thus you sacrifice damage and protection sometimes, which isn't all bad, but forcing me to use Energy armor, and Forcing me to use teleport, and forcing me to use magic weapon or familiar, or mirror image or all of them is a terrible choice. You can't do anything offensively because well you need to be all defense or youll easily be one shotted. Now I'm not saying it's impossible but there needs to be a better balance of class stats plus vit, right now all you want is vit. If it doesn't have enough vit throw it away no matter how much damage or armor it'll give you. If it doesn't have resist than throw it away. that's the problem I don't want to be forced into some stupid All Vit build just to clear the act. This isn't Diablo 2 i shouldn't need all vit to play.
Something tells me you're not as proficient at wizard as you might think you are. When in wow, you have the holy trinity (tank, healer, dps) so each character specializes in only one thing. Now, in Diablo 3 you have only one thing: the hero. Which means tanking, healing, and dpsing are all ONE PERSON'S RESPONSIBILITY. So, yes, you have to take survivability abilities, because you're the tank, yes you have to take some vit or you'll get one shot, and. . .this is the sequel to diablo 2. . .so I don't get that point at all. How is claiming "this isn't d2" going to help anything?
When you buy gear from the AH that doesn't drop in normal difficulty its gonna make your run super easy. By the end of act 4 normal you'll be lucky if you have a 60 dps weapon.
First we waited from the news and how long we waited? and again one last delay from korea. Fine.. lets wait. Wait........... no pvp??? Oh my ... god.. not even real money auction house?
. . .Blizzard wront let that happen but we have a new standard for their games... and we know what to expect from the next Blizzard's game.
Given your proficiency with grammar I imagine your skill at gaming and knowledge of computers is roughly the same.
OT: Anyone who has been with Blizzard for a while knows their launches are usually pretty bad. I've been playing wow since 07 and not once has the first hour of a product launch gone smoothly. This is something to be expected. And with Diablo 3 I haven't had any issues beyond not being able to play till around 1:30 am pst and random lag spikes that settled down rather quickly. This has been a great launch in terms of Blizzard. I am very thankful for what I've got.
I play games for the lore/ story BEFORE gameplay, and I know more people are like me than are like you. Lore does matter, and if there is only one of a legendary in the story then if I had 2 I'd be breaking the game in my opinion.
I have a feeling it has to do with age. It seems cool among kids these days to not care about story and its almost like its required for people to skip story scenes the first time they see them. I honestly don't get it. Story is what makes games fun first and foremost. Gameplay is usually second.
I personally love the randomization. That is part of the charm of roguelikes: trying to get the best gear you can while not fully knowing what's out there. It gives you a reason to keep coming back. Not to mention I've gotten decently lucky with drops and crafts and am sitting happy at 500 dps at level 30.
I'm only in act 4 regular (work sucks lol.) and the highest gems I've seen look like thw wrath epic gems in terms of shape. Kinda like a teardrop. I don't remember their name.
I have news for you: video game retailers DO NOT accept opened box returns unless the game inside is defective. IE unreadable disc or something like that. They won't let you return it just because you don't like the game. In this day and age refunds should not be issued for people who don't like the game. There are plenty of resources to research and see if you'll enjoy a game first before buying it. Roguelikes aren't for you, that's cool, and I respect that, but I think you shouldn't have put your money out so quickly if you were on the fence as to rather you'd like it or not.
