    If they all have good quality then i would go for the cheaper one because then you won't give too many fucks if it gets broken or lost or stolen.

    Why not a smartphone? Some of them must have good sound quality... since your budget seems to be decent, i don't see why you'd want a standalone mp3 player.

    Quote from eple»

    One of the things that made trading huge in diablo 2, was not the gear, it was more the runes that served as a good currency and founded a base for trading. Also some items was pretty rare in that game compared to D3.

    D2 had made up currencies before runes were introduced into the game (i.e sojs and gems). About the rarity, if it wasn't for the bots and dupes, the "end game" gear some builds required would be almost (if not completely) impossible to get while playing 100% legit and without trading. It's a totally different game in that aspect... Also, to reinforce my initial point, there would be no "high rune currency" (or sojs for that matter) if it wasn't for dupes and bots so the comparison doesn't really do any justice to both games.

    @OP: Some of your ideas are nice and some of them seem to just make the game easier... In general it all seems positive so +1

    Are you sure it's a bug? maybe they are intentionally capped at 100?



    Why? When they are not capped on PC?

    No idea... maybe to prevent abuse of mechanics (that could potentially crash the game) since on console people can easily run whatever GR they like with hacked items.

    The console version of d3 is simply amazing. It is one of the best console games of all times in my opinion but only if you have friends to play it with, locally. If you play online then you're going to have a bad time... The online aspect of it has nothing to do with whether the game is good or not.

    Just a warning, if you have a big head or think you have a big head, don't buy the steelseries Siberia whatever. It's extremely tight and hurts your ears after a while.




    Hmmmmm sorry but i didn't have that experience. I wear glasses and belive me i have a big head. I'm 2m or 6,56 ft. And as an ex soldier i'm not that small sized. even my ear fit into the headphones.
    If we are both talking about this headset:


    then i don't know dude. I had a pretty bad experience with them. Maybe my head is really too big? LOL

    I agree with the others above me that recommended buying a headset that is not from a "gaming" brand like Razer or whatever.

    Nice cosplay :cheers:


    Now we just need the rest of the gang to show up at Blizzcon (Blood thief, Gem hoarder, Gelatinous sire, Gilded baron, Insufferable miscreant, Odious collector, Rainbow goblin, Malevolent tormentor and last but not least, Snitchley the aspect of greed). If D3 was more popular like WoW or HS i think we could have seen the different types of goblins running around the Blizzcon halls.

    posted a message on [Idea] Custom Rifts
    Quote from etneet»

    Quote from JesusAngry»


    Cool idea, but all you're doing is giving players the option of removing everything that's unfavorable, thereby standardizing the game even more than it already is. It'll take a couple days before the 'perfect grift' community is born and everyone is running the exact same thing while complaining that the game lacks diversity.



    Did u read it all or just TL;Dr? He says its No exp No loot gain...

    Did he write anything about that? I dont think he did. The OPs idea might be OK, but the way he presented it is just beyond retarded with thousands of different combinations, 99% of which no one would ever use after figuring the "best" setup. EVER. Only making it overcomplicated. Doesnt matter theres no XP/loot. Everyone would end up running with 95% of all the settings being absolutely the same, changing a couple of the settings, and even then those particular settings which might allow for 10 different levels would maybe ever see settings at only their extremes. Basically what im saying is, instead of 150 different things to set at 6 different levels each there might just as well be only 3 things to set at 2 different levels.
    OP did mention no loot and no XP and i quote:
    "Custom Rifts would have no loot. None at all (not even from the Rift Guardian). And no experience gained. This is partly so that people couldn’t cheese and create some easy farming rift, but more so because Custom Rifts would be purely about the fun of the competition"

    Why would there be a "perfect rift" if you don't gain xp/loot out of it? It actually sounds like this idea can allow players to be more creative with the way they want to compete with others. Sure, there might be popular custom rift choices or settings that will be pushed by popular streamers for various reasons but that would most likely a flavor of the month type of thing.


    I personally wouldn't really enjoy this idea if it were to be implemented but i think it's pretty good and i'm sure many people will really like it if it was in game. Good job on the effort nonetheless. I think it's a pretty good idea.

    posted a message on Open Letter against Botting
    Quote from Arydor»

    Quote from Jamoose»

    So let's make the letter about "cheating" so that whatever slim chance there was of Blizzard actually addressing it will be completely gone or replaced with stupid examples of actions taken by blizz against exploits and other irrelevant stuff. I think people need to get over their ego and i'm not talking about streamers only...



    Sarcasm wins all debates right? It doesn't have to be aimed at "cheating" but the problems lay within the parameters of 'third-party software'. So the letter these 26 pillars of the community wrote could be written in that direction. It's not, because most of the signatories are third-party software users. Blizzard could even make an arguement that a website that times CoE is considered to be TPS. Not likely, but the arguement could be made, which would basically wipe the leaderboards completely.
    -
    I have to say though, while they haven't addressed the botting issue as quickly as we'd all hope, fixing and punishing those involved in the Hellfire exploit shows they care. Acting as though it's irrelevant is childish. It was within thier power to do. Which logically speaks to the fact that they don't have a final solution to the bot problem. Would you prefer random bans to people who play more than 8 hours a day?

    It doesn't make sense to include Thud in this letter because as you said, almost if not all of the people who signed the letter actually use Thud (Including me, back when i used to play D3). It's too good to give up on while still not breaking the game imo. It's very different from botting, it's more like a reaction to Blizzard's horrible hard-coded UI implementation in D3. The lack of modding support is just really bad and the fact that people have Thud to compensate that is actually a good thing in my view. If Blizzard just works on a better minimap to include things like champion / elite packs that you have already encountered, then they could also make it so you can't read the minimap portion of the game off of the client's memory somehow... I think if Thud didn't have the maphack then it would have been more legit and awesome but the fact that it has some sort of a maphack makes its validity go down by quite a bit.

    This letter is about botting and botting is what the people who signed the letter, think that is the worst thing that is happening to the game. I'm glad so many people care about this issue and come to voice their opinion but i really don't understand why you have to disagree with something just because it doesn't fulfill your expectations by 100%... I think we as players in general are a bit spoiled and this attitude of all or nothing is actually pretty bad for us because i think that if this letter would have gained more support and less criticism because people are not satisfied with the fact that it doesn't address other things (that are unrelated imo, thud is unrelated to botting and is not the main issue here), then it would have had more chances at actually creating a change or forcing Blizzard to react, possibly in a bit of a more rushed manner (rushed doesn't have to be bad, just mobilizing resources to a certain direction).

    It's hard for people especially mods on this forum to please everyone. It's also hard to argue with 20 different people when it's one mod versus dozens of newcomers or old timers that are all arguing the same points over and over, often without reading what the mods have had to say in previous posts. It's also really stupid in my opinion how some people are offended by the claim that whoever is opposed to this letter is probably a botter because it's just a logical assumption and really, what did you expect? I think people need to lay off a bit and try to focus on the main issue here and that is the fact that D3 is turning into a complete bot fest and if you don't think it's true then i think you are either fooling yourself or just unaware of the magnitude of the problem.

    TL:DR: I botted, i used Thud / D3helper whatever and i am in favor of all of those being limited and completely removed but some features of Thud need to stay until Blizzard implements UI modding support. Botting is the main issue here and diverting the focus from the main issue towards lesser issues like Thud is effectively a disservice to the community as a whole because expecting Thud to become "illegal" is simply unrealistic according to what we have seen in the past, and that does not apply to botting therefore this letter receives my (humble :P ) endorsement.
