I don't want this game to be like WOW where you have arenas and different gear for PvP and PvE... Diablo is a PvE based game and I'm ok with that...
If you were implying that to my post, I certainly don't want that either. But I'd like to be able to duel people in games outside of the lame ass arena format. I'd also like to PK people because ..being a dick is fun sometimes.
It sure is fun for the person receiving the dicketry.
I'd like to believe so..it taught you how to alt f4 quick enough to log out before you lost your hardcore character.
Doesn't work in D3.
I didn't say it did, I was merely referencing diablo 2. Either way.. the state/lack of PVP sucks in this game.
I'm not into PvP at all. As in, zero interest. But if I had, I'd be VERY upset with Blizzard's behaviour over that issue.
Oh I am. I'm not a hardcore PVP person but it just provides players another outlet for something to do. I've just grown to bored with farming to even log on. I've actually started playing NeverWinter..granted the combat mechanics are pretty bad..its free and its something different.

I certainly understand that the diablo universe is PVE based and I wouldn't want it any other way. However, I think that a lot of people have quit this game because the 'hunt' only lasts so long and you do get tired of farming items or creating characters and leveling after awhile. This is primarily the reason I have quit. I don't really feel like farming anymore. While I don't have the best of the best gear, I'm fine with what I've got..and I've got a somewhat PVP oriented set in the stash that I'd put to use in the event a better format for dueling was provided.
I think it was a monumental mistake to try and separate PVP from the normal aspects of the game by introducing an arena format. I also think that anyone who pushes for diablo 3 to become an esports game shouldn't even be playing because its a waste of time and energy to push such an idea.
Being able to simple walk out of the main town and flag someone to duel was fun and it was an outlet to blow off steam and/or time. Diablo 3 has taken that away and I really don't understand why it was not just implemented in the first place.
I really, really, REALLY wish people would be more vocal about fixing PVP and quest based games and game sizes. not having PVP or any form that is worth while is what is driving people insane to nit pick about every other terrible aspect in this game. Having new, stronger, level based legendaries will keep people busy for another few months while they regear yet again..but its going to end with the same complaints.
While I've posted I like a majority of these changes, is fixing legendary beam images or adding more achievements really solving the underlying problems? ( no )
A single guy can come up with ideas that would totally and radically change the state of the game... for the better!
All these ideas are amazing, making the game more complex, engaging, more interesting and timespending worthy.
But I cannot help myself to immediately think of Blizzard. Best company out there yet time goes by with nothing happening. I seriously think they don't have a job asignment called ''Thinker'' or anything along those lines, and they really need one. OR JUST LISTEN THE COMUNITY!...
Great post, am sure some blizz guy would get a glimpse on it and, who knows, they might aswell become this tiny bit better at designing diablo III's future, hopefully the immediate one.
I wouldn't say nothing is happening..you do realize its not a simple process of simply just changing a line of code and then flipping a switch and putting in changes. The proposed changes (not all of them) would require huge amounts of time to develop, test and implement. Between each of those phases you would have project management ,quality assurance, testing, and then the final product. I don't feel like spewing out a ton of crap about the system development life cycle and all that shit but just because you haven't heard anything..doesn't mean it isn't happening.
I think its a mixture of good and bad ideas..as well as ones they just won't implement now or at least until the expansion. Blizzard has to make money so you won't see some obvious enhancements or big changes made into the game at this point I'd wager (adding the mystic in and big crafting changes). I think some of your more subtle changes are fine such as the changing drop rates and their associated graphic beams. The achievement for collecting things isn't a bad idea however they would have to restrict trading unidentified items otherwise that achievement would be pretty easy to complete..even if it just a modest 4% dmg buff.
I think using the unique spawns for a greater picture is certainly worth looking into so I'm fine with using them for crafting materials..but I wouldn't want TOO many crafting materials as per your 81 unique monster count.
I do however think that people get too up in arms about having an end game.. Diablo 2's end game would have been ubers..and diablo 3's is essentially the same thing with getting your ring.
Diablo 3 isn't supposed to have a definitive end game and time sink..because farming and killing mobs is your time sink.
The biggest problems I feel Diablo 3 has even more so than itemization is
stupid fucking quest based games.
lack of any sort of pvp (current one is garbage) They need to increase public game sizes and allow for world based pvp..This would require either making specific areas pvp friendly..or making the starting areas larger since most people would prefer to dual directly outside of town.
