Thanks for the stream guys. Because of diablofans, I found out about the friends and fam beta. Vicky you have a great accent. Long live the diablo team. We'd rather look at you vicky then overneathe anyways.
And this is why I'm shocked Diablo 3 still does not have Ladder. Ladder is a primary factor in why people still to this day, myself included, play Diablo 2. Some players like to maintain their gear and strive for complete perfection, others like me like the freshness and challenge of Ladder. If they would hurry up and do this the whole saturation argument dies in one fell swoop
I am also a bit amazed why they didn't come up with a ladder mode like in Diablo 2 yet. It would solve so many problems.
I also don't understand why they don't add duels like in Diablo 2. They said it's because they want to evolve the game further until PvP fits into it, but if I remember correctly, the Diablo 2 devs never had the intention to make a PvP game and they also never really balanced around it, but still it was the main reason for a lot of people to actually play the game for years, including me. They just gave players the opportunity to duel and they build their own rules and PvP communities around it.
The reason why I even bring PvP into this discussion is simple. Collecting loot in Diablo 3 is just for the sake of farming more efficiently, actually quite pointless to gear up at all because there is no real motivation to have the perfect character. PvP on the other hand motivated players to gather a lot of gear and different gear sets to be prepared for a lot of PvP situations. And this also required a trading community because you just can't find everything by yourself, but instead you have doubles or unwanted items others need.
This and the ladder mode made players play Diablo 2 for so long. In RoS there will be nothing to achieve again. All those features they added are basically nothing but more loot sources, but there still is no playground to make use of all that gear. So once everybody has beaten the content, boredom will come up again and we are in the same situation as we are now.
I am really excited when the annoucement of the ROS was coming. This brought my back to d3. Funny thing is, I am from 714 OC garden grove born and raised. Graduated class of 97 from OHS. I live in Ohio with my wife now, but I will be in OC that weekend anyways for a wedding. That would be bas arse to win this tickets so that my wiff and I could attend. Blizzcon is like right next to mom's house in GG. Yeah she lives off of Chapman and Haster.!!!! please choose me.... this trip would be amazing..... wedding of "my" best man.... and a chance to attend blizzcon... OMG. We already have tickets for california anyways.... Will be there on the 7th and leaving on Monday the following week..... But I am not that lucky.. hope I win haha..
