Your reasons are selfish and shut down people. Not mine.Quote from Xerlane

As good as this game will be, I'm really going to have to hold my nose when I fork over the sixty bucks plus tax. One nostril for knowing I'm making Kotick that much richer, the other one knowing that I'm supporting the most anti-LAN and anti-Modding PC release ever. And, of course, I'll need to register it online despite the fact that multiplayer is closed.
Are you sure this is really "the most anti-LAN" and "anti-modding" PC release ever?! I strongly disagree.
I don't think Diablo 3 looks much different from other recent (or not even released) games but if you really feel that this is the case, then by all means!
You're not disagreeing, you're shutting down online mod opportunities for pointless reasons. The only games that have problems due to mods are games that would be dead without them.
You're so stubborn that I feel sorry for you...
If Blizzard didn't have their reasons to not allow or support modding then it would surely make it into the game. As it looks now, it won't >.<
Now go figure why that is the case, and stop acting like all reasons that point towards why modding shouldn't be a part of online gameplay are all pointless.
Quite funny how you say so seeing as I could say the same about why you want modding into the game. I could just as well say that your reasons are pointless but I'm not going to and I rather not start an argument in here with someone like you.
No offense.
Of course. Blizzard is all-mighty.Quote from Xerlane
I did name a few reasons if you'd have read all of my comments. I'll not say anything more though seeing as I'd probably be better without talking more about this topic in here and also even if I have more reasons I'm sure Blizzards reasons are far more superior to mine!
You sicken me. I'm quite happy you don't intend to keep this discussion going.

Thats usually how I post, pretty angry, sometimes incredibly rude.
Its a deserved reputation.

I'm an angry person and I want people to be angry at me for being angry at what they love.
Come on, be angry at me, then you'll feel better.
Those "don't play the game" comments are always the silliest to me, anyway. I'm extremely pationate about games and their potential and I'm the Lord of Disappointment, I'm always disappointed at a product because I see so much untapped potential.
You can scorch me all you want, gaming is an art, and its being run like a business in every way. Therefore, I'm an eternal whiner and defender of the true art of gaming and I will keep wishing and discussing for its true potential.
You don't get a lot of games that are half-decent. For the record, I love this game's combat, I think it has a lot of potential, -thats- why I'm here. I don't hang around games that are hopeless causes in every way.

Everytime I use it as an example of what I found to be a nice incentive, JUST AS AN EXAMPLE, people bash me for it. And oh my gosh, it was so hard to add and was added years later. Obviously Diablo 3 could NOT have any such thing early on because of that.
I can't take you seriously.
Instead of being a prententious coward hurting people from behind your screen, you have to get up and get in someone's real life face. Sorry that your nonexistent manhood is disappointed by its inability to satisfy itself from such safe ways of causing grief.

If you're a mindless fan throwing stupidities like this around, don't bother with me. Forums and any place in the world are made for a variety of opinions. Now get back to your cave where everything is lollipops and people loving each other. This a discussion forum, not a "praise the almighty Blizzard" forum.

I'm talking about content that should have been included. Logical steps in difficulties and differences that they would have done if they weren't lazy and greedy.
Items.

I'm trying not to get banned.
Why are you tempting me like this?
It wasn't very good, no. Well, can't speak for D1. For Diablo 2, it wasn't very good, but because of the itemization I had things to look forward to, and I only started playing late: Uber Tristram was actually an incentive enough to try and go forward, believe it or not. Funny thing is, I never really got there. (besides in SP with cheats to check it out)
You know I was just pointing out that at least, Diablo 2 had Uber Tristram. I didn't say its end game was good, just slightly better.
And I've played Diablo thanks. Diablo 2 was more about skills and interesting items than this game is. If Diablo 3 had interesting itemization, real epic legendaries I want so badly, I might forgive all of this. But it doesn't.
By the way, Diablo is an action game. Action games are about skill. Yes, we love items, so do I, you didn't like Diablo 2 if you didn't care about getting powerful through gear. But don't tell me Inferno is a fine difficulty.
I could have come up with hundreds of ways to make higher difficultes genuinly challenging with new obstacles and things that are actually interesting to deal with. But hey, Diablo 2 was so simple 12 years ago, who needs any challenge and complexity when everything good about Diablo 2 is also gone from this game?... (except the plain old destructions of thousands of monsters)
Are people here against advancements in any shape or form that would make the game better just because mindless gear grinding was fun 12 years ago?
I find it hard to answer a lot of people here directly without risking a perma ban.

And they thought hey! Lets add a 4th difficulty where you can farm anywhere!
A weird concept, but hey, even back then I bought it. Turned out to be the worst thing ever. Please, I'm not going to get into a big discussion as to why inferno is just a stupid giant gear check that has no interest.
Inferno, like Nightmare and Hell, is nothing but an extremely lazy copy-paste with bigger numbers. The difficulty itself literally took 5 minutes to do. The difficulties have NO differences, no new monsters, no new attacks, no nothing. They claimed better intelligence, maybe in Normal they're a bit dumber at best, thats it.
Its an incredibly lazy and inneffective endgame content. I hate it. I think its horrible. Is that all we can come up with as endgame? I'm there, wondering how much god damn time of my life I'm going to spend gearing up for the SAME EXACT THING that I did with the same character 3 times in a row, just to experience nothing new whatsoever and not be challenged in any true way.
Even Diablo 2 has more interesting end game. Uber Tristram (which did come late) is actually interesting, albeit very small and a bit lazy, end game. Thats the kind of content thats fun. REWARDING places to go, new weird things to find and do, new places, new monsters, new bosses or redesigned boss encounters with new attacks, name it.
But no. There is NOTHING. AT ALL.
Why is that acceptable? After all this time, the only end game they could think of is a 5 minute copy paste (which is all it is).
Add to that how bad the itemization is, how nobody is actually looking forward to any item because none is changing their experience in any way...
What a boring end game. I think those words just prove that its boring and uninspired, INCREDIBLY uninspired, as are every difficulty levels in this game. Dear god, I actually believed they would add at least 1 attack to 1 monster. They didn't.
Unbelievable how disappointed I am. But I guess all people ever really wanted is a grinding game, uh? What a waste of potential.

Yeah, I totally love this forum instead. Full of defending fanboys who think entitled is an insult instead of a right.
Here's the harsh truth: This place is the exact opposite of that forum, and as such is equally awful.

This forum really has gone full retard hasn't it?
Challenge is part of game design and how rewarding a game is, you god damn moron.

I completely agree with you when it comes to difficulty and items.
It specifically bothers me that Blizzard openly states Inferno is "challenging". Its not. Almost nothing in the game is actually of any challenge. One could say finding those awkward builds that worked in Inferno was the challenge, but obviously "cheap builds" are out of the question, as they will get nerfed.
The game is an immense gear check and I have little love for that, if thats all it is.
And the items, boy oh boy... I never believed before the game was released, that they would miss the mark as much as they did. Legendaries in DIablo 3 are less interesting than blue items in Diablo 2.
And frankly, I really, genuinly expected higher difficulties to present new mechanics. New attacks for monsters and bosses, new patterns, new things (THAT CAN BE DEALT WITH) that challenges you and make you learn.
The only new things are elite stacking effects that become impossible to avoid or deal with. There was zero effort in the new difficulties. Pumping the stats is the laziest way I expected a big company to handle this, especially when that is ALL there is for endgame.
No. Its an action game for a reason. Why be an action game if skill barely matters? Thats absurd.

Biggest problem I have with gems is lack of variety. When I saw there were only 4 I nearly burst out in laughter. It was so pathetic, I couldn't believe it. Not only do they remove everything unique and special about D2, they just lower it as much as they can! Unbelievable!
And itemization as a whole is seriously pathetic. The legendaries are pathetic, the affixes are seriously lacking. There is almost nothing even remotely special and too few affixes that are useful. We're just getting specific basic stats up by gear and NOTHING stands out.
They not only didn't dare even a little bit to present anything better, (you remember when they said they would include new and excitting things? Remember how EVERYTHING WAS SCRAPPED and the game ultimately has far less than Diablo 2?), but they just failed to deliver.
The itemization is the most important thing in a Diablo game and they screwed it up BIG time. Unbelievable.
