What game doesn't have ANY flaws? I play D2 SP. I still play it to this day. Bar maybe immunities, I think the game is perfect.
You're acting like someone would have to try shoving a stereo up his ass whilst simultaneously listening to Lady Gaga music and watching a Ben Stiller porno to know that it would be annoying and unpleasant. I don't like the changes because I know what they are. I don't particularly like this game because I've seen how the changes translate in-game and I'm not an utter dumbass who can't predict how things will be like with enough information beforehand.
Diablo II was an utterly revamped version of Diablo I, which didn't have the same amount of production and effort go into it. Games were WAY different back then at the time of Diablo I, much different than they were during the development of Diablo II. They're not nearly that different now from how things were with Diablo II. You can also argue that Diablo 2 has a shitload of added things. Diablo III, thus far, has taken things from Diablo II, then went on to utterly ruin them. What have they added that's new besides the Artisans and the Auction House, both concepts that I don't particularly wet my pants over?

It really annoys me when player whinge over change.
You haven't played the game yet.
Neither have you. Therefore, you can't say anything about people thinking it's shit. Therefore, you're just as accountable to be held "annoying" because you think change is good. It's a two-way road, my friend.
I see your logic and it's sound. Although proving something false imo requires more facts or argument. Like that post a few pages back saying "This is no longer a diable game" requires way more to back up than saying "I think this change is good for this game"
Also being positive or at least openminded about change does not make for as bad atmosphere on the forums. Raging out, calling blizzard names, insulting other forum members on the other hand does. Although I'm happy it does not occur that much on these forums
This is not a Diablo game because it has abandoned almost everything that made Diablo II what it was. That's more proof than is require to prove my statement.
I'm not raging out, and I'm not insulting members. What on God's green Earth are you talking about? -

Yeah, climb on a list consisting of 3 games. It's already a top priority, since, you know, they're developing a new game and are planning multiple expansion packs.
I don't know, nor do I care how much money it has made them. Stop making it sound like Blizzard employe people whose sole task is to ban bots and hackers.
My real concern is that money-based concepts in a video game is a ridiculous and despicable concept. I can play just as much as a spoiled kid, I just choose not to because, you know, I'm no longer 14 years old. But see, that's on me, not on the company, and I can live with that. They can buy from 3rd parties all they want, it's Blizzard's job to keep banning them, no matter how many copies they can afford to buy. That in itself is profitable to Blizzard.
Lol@you making it sound like gear is unimportant in a game like Diablo. I care what player X's gear is compared to mine. Everybody does. If someone says he/she doesn't, he/she is lying. Diablo is pretty much an items game. You grind and you play to get better items. When you see someone who has way better gear, and is someone who has played the game WAY WAY less than you have, of course you're gonna get pissed off. What on Earth are you on about, with all that "fighting the hoards of evil alongside you" stuff? This isn't Diablo III: Brokeback Mountain Edition, or a tale of platonic love between a bedazzled Witch Doctor from the mean forests of Zimbabwe and a roid-infused Barbarian from Wichita who is battling conflicting emotions and estrogen-induced man-tits.
Contrarian shmontrarian. It's an idiotic concept with idiotic explanations behind its inception. -

The RMAH is optional, it is free to try out on a weekly basis, you can use it to buy Blizzard products from selling virtual goods, and it will hopefully generate revenue for the game, which will incentivize Blizzard to pour more resources into it.
A) Incentivize isn't even a word
They will have more than enough revenue from just selling the game. If that's not enough for them, then I don't know what is. Don't give me the usual rhetoric of "servers and maintenance cost money!". They're getting 70$ a game. That's millions upon millions of dollars in revenue. How much would the servers and the maintenance cost?
C) I know it's optional, I can read. However, it would make it much easier for players who have cash (youngsters who just pay from daddy's credit card, or just rich people who are willing to spend money buying stuff for a video game universe) will undoubtedly have an edge over regular players, who will grind and grind to find appropriate high-level gear on their own.
Quote from GroananIn this day and age MMORPGs are going free-to-play with revenue coming in from advertisements, micro-transactions (moving characters from server to server, etc.), and the selling of virtual goods. This shifts the cost of the game from everyone, to only those willing to pay money for virtual goods. Monthly subscription fees scare off many players who would otherwise play if it were free.
But see, Blizzard isn't going that route. They're money-fiends (and I don't REALLY blame them, but it's still despicable) and they know how to get their money. The people who aren't willing to buy "virtual goods" shouldn't cause any amount of harm to the parent company since..you know..THEY PAYED FOR THE GAME.
Quote from GroananI don't see product placement and ads meshing well with Diablo III, and I'd rather them charge players selling items to each other than sell items directly to us.
Well then, thank God you aren't on the development team.
Quote from GroananI know Diablo III is not an MMORPG, but the amount of work put into it, as an online game, pretty much makes it one logistically.
No it doesn't.
Quote from GroananEven without releasing content patches, plan old patches, server maintenance, and expansion development money needs to come from somewhere.
Stop making it sound like people get the game for free and Blizzard is this poor old company that barely makes enough to buy Oreos and a milkshake.
Quote from GroananI think the RMAH idea is a rather brilliant side-step from having a monthly subscription or having to directly sell virtual goods to us to make revenue.

Aug 5, 2011Mephisto's Lament posted a message on Skill Points Removal Fuels Game ControversyI like being in control of my character. They're completely ruining this game as they progress through the development. I'm actually, and for the first time ever, giving serious thought as to whether I'm gonna buy this game or not. They're pretty much shitting on the hardcore fans of the series (Well, a vast proportion of them) and justifying it by saying "well, we thought the D2 version was shit, this will be way better". I mean, what the fuck?Posted in: News

Aug 5, 2011Mephisto's Lament posted a message on The Auction House ExplainedThis is utterly despicable. They can go on all night telling me they're trying to eliminate 3rd parties, giving players more options, bla bla bla, but it's absolute nonsense. I buy a game to have fun. I play the game to have fun. I work to get payed. I'm not nearly poor enough to be all excited about the thought of playing and getting payed to play. I want to play to have some fun and let go, I don't want to be thinking about shit like selling, buying, money, and economics while playing a video game. This is also terrible because people with loads of daddy's cash can outbid anyone and get whatever they want and remain unscathed in every aspect. Instead of fighting 3rd parties, Blizzard simply gave in and opted for the option that will fill their pockets with cash (surprise surprise, eh?). I don't want to go into a maze of setting up an account, see which company Blizzard is dealing with, calculating how much I should put this item up for, how much my net gain will be. I don't want to go through the trouble of proper financial management for a frikkin' video game. I know I can simply not go that way, but other people will, and agree or not, they will hold an advantage. It's utter bullshit, completely unprofessional, and absolutely and without a shadow of doubt NOT the Diablo I wanted, NOT the Diablo I was thinking about, and NOT the Diablo that I will pay 70$ or whatever to get. They're making all these decisions on behalf of the people that are actually going to play the game to the point where it's getting frustrating. Who are you to tell me that allocating stat points is not a good idea? Who are you to tell me that I shouldn't dump all my skills points into 2 skills? What the fuck is going on here?Posted in: News

Aug 5, 2011Mephisto's Lament posted a message on Skill Points Removal Fuels Game ControversyI won't go ahead and say "this rules" or "this sucks balls", but it's clearly a HUGE step away from the Diablo we all know and love. They're pretty much creating an entirely new and different game using the same raw materials used in Diablo 2, and even 1, and I'm not sure I like that very much.Posted in: News

Yes, your majesty, that's what a lowly peasant like myself holds out for.
I want to run the game on max settings. I have an 8800GTX card, and an 8800GT card is what's recommended for Starcraft II. I want to know what they'll recommend. Plenty of others want to know the requirements as well, even if we are certain they won't be that high.
This thread is asking what everyone would like to see. That's what I would like to see, if that's alright with you. -
