Solo play this season is not as bad as it was before. Since XP was nerfed GREATLY in higher rifts.

Still solo play lacks everything, it's slow and boring. And it's still at least 1/2 effective than group play.

That is why I love solo, wish it could even be slower since it is way to fast to level. I wish for the old days when it took a few hundred hours of game time to max a character level now it almost pointless to even have the max character level since it takes almost no time to get there.
Part of the reason the End Game is boring is it is too easy and too fast to get there.
Story mode is pointless now since for the most part it is quick bounties to get some mats, gear, and nightmare keys. Then the rest is Rifts and Grifts.
Things are handed out too fast.

How many copies did D3 sell. Any company would be happy with a quarter of the sales the game got heck they would be happy with 1/10th the sales Diablo 3 has.

Also the other games from Blizzard makes money, make that buckets and buckets of money.

Diablo 3 is one of the largest selling PC games of all times. Let me restate that it is one of the largest selling PC games of all time.

You guys make it sound like it was one of the worst selling games of all time and the devs have to go begging on the street for change so they can eat.



Sorry I sound upset. but this is just getting to me.

Come on RoS is only about 6 months old and seasons was just added. Diablo 3 is not an MMO.

What is more needed is more gear options and hopefully some better and more affixes for all gear types. We also need to tweak more in the skills since most players are only using a few skills.

Adding more areas will not do that much since a few hours of playing it people will state we need more.

No to the remastering of the first 2 games. Those games are great as they are.

I felt they listened too much to the players back in 2008 and since then. I think it would have been better to keep D3 under wraps until sometime in 2011 .

The game built up too much hype and with that hype you can never satisfy everyone and when you try it usually backfires. Let the experts make the game they are the ones getting paid to do so. If they wanted the fans to then why not just give the game to Phrozen Keep and let the mod makers loose.

I am likely to delete all the characters when ladder starts and then again when the next season starts.

Hydra has been my favorite spell since Diablo I and still is.

How about everyone has to pay the full price for a rift. As soon as the player enters the rift the toll is paid.

Blizzard will decide what to do.

Blizzard does not really like to ban people from playing but if people breaks the rules then they do have to act in some way, especially when they implement ladders and more competitive options for Diablo III. Since it would be a joke if people could get away with cheating or exploiting the game to get an unfair advantage. The thing is we do not determine what is considered to unfair, Blizzard does. Blizzard has in the past gave warnings if it feels like an exploit to report it to them and it is best to not to use it.

Like I stated earlier Blizzard does not have to ban them but give warnings, rollbacks or a temp ban or something else. It comes down to how Blizzard feels how bad it is and if it is something very minor like a COTA run which only needed fixing or something major like people using bots or gold duping which requires bans.

AFK is really the same thing as botting.

The biggest news concerning Diablo in the beginning of this call wass the fact that any revenue that is projected from its release has been left out of their 2011 financial plans.



Now, this does not guarantee that Blizzard will not be releasing Diablo this year. What it means is that they are not sure if it will be and therefore, do not want to include it in their current financial plans. They did say, however, that "if a title is not released this year, that they would be releasing two titles in 2012".

Separately, someone asked why no revenue from Diablo was included. The response was basically that it is still unknown on its release date.

After the initial information, Mike Morhaime spoke about Blizzard specifically. He stated that they were very excited about Diablo III and that development continues to move forward. Unfortunately, we did not get anything specific about any dates or its progress. However, more information about Diablo III and its beta will be discussed at the next conference call in May.

Mike Morhaime also answered a question about Diablo's progress and a possible release date. His response was that they were still very excited about Diablo. The reason for the mystery behind any dates is that they are waiting for initial responses from Beta before they announce any dates. Basically, if beta goes well, it would push their plans forward and if there were multiple things they want to change, it would push the date back.

On a more speculative conclusion of this, a summer beta would be logical given that it will be talked about in the next conference call. June 28th continues to be an important date for Diablo and may follow this trend with a possible Beta start date. This would put a six month Beta finishing at the end of the year in December. This late date may be why they did not include Diablo in their financial plan for this year. The success or issues with Beta may make this date very tangible for this year or the next. Again, they did not say that Diablo will not be released this year. However, an early 2012 release is now looking more realistic according to this new information.

We can all look forward, from this point, to the next conference call in May when a date for Beta should be announced giving us a more accurate guess of the release date.

*update*


What Bashiok is telling us is that we shouldn't rule out a 2011 release, but we shouldn't be too excited about having the game this year either.

Try this. Keep Meditation Aura active at all times (remember the Prayer synergy, so it's healing life too!) and spam Holy Bolt to heal your Merc (for an extra challenge, use an A1 or A3 merc) and kill undeads. If you want more offense, you might consider picking up Hammers or FotH.


I just remembered another build that some random was telling me his friend was going to try when I traded him a Head Hunter's Glory. It's basically a Chance-to-Cast Necromancer. I'm assuming you'd probably want to pick up a Golem and a curse too...probably Lower Resist. It's a melee build that relies on items that give a chance to cast Poison Nova (BOTD, Andy's Visage, Carrion Wind) and Bone Armor (Bone Rune Word...I'm not sure what else). Good luck. :tongue:

Try a ridiculous amazon build that I deemed, the Apprentice. She is an apprentice to the Valkyrie, dedicating her life to become one herself.

The purpose of the Valkyrie is for her to kill everything for her apprentice which wields a staff.

Skills:
20 Valkyrie
20 Decoy
20 Critical Strike
20 Penetrate
7 Avoid
6 Dodge
6 Evade
2 prerequisites

Stats:
Whatever is appropriate.

Good luck, for only those truly worthy of becoming a Valkyrie will survive.

Try untwinked Enchantress. I'm thinking about trying one once I finish my Assassin, and I'm positive that build will suck in so many ways it will be just hilarious. :biggrin:

I built one on Battlenet and was quite effective. I used the 1.09 Burrisa(spelling). I had Duel elemental damage.

I might try a different style for the Sorc. A melee sorc that does not use Enchant and uses a Maul. I am thinking either all points into Strength or put all points into Energy since I would likely use Energy Shield and since she will be in melee she will take a lot of hits and will need the mana.

She will likely need an Act 2 merc with the runeword that grants Conviction when equipped.

^^

she has other fun builds too

my fav skill was firewall perhaps mix with glacial spike or nova?

I was bored this morning and wanted a new desktop image so I quickly came up with this. I thought I would share it in case anyone else wanted to use it. It is 1600x900.

I for one am glad all the little bits of non-newsworthy info are not posted here. I think the news team has done/is doing a great job in discerning what should be posted and what should not.

So a script that can read the game files and can assemble it into an easy to read calculator based on user input?
