Good luck to Jay in future projects.
Im not stuck in the 90s, so I can enjoy D3 for what it is and not grasp at an old, outdated, "good-for-its-time" relic.Im certain D3 will be better than D2 ever was.

Lots of the good stuff from the 90s havent been implemented though, and thats a big mistake.

No Ladder
No runewords.
No PvP until 1.7
Only 4 players max instead of 8? big mistake.
heavy gold inflation as there is no gold sinks, or alternative currencies
Very little reason to team up
Removal of the usability og gold and magic find + a stupid cap.
No manual stat distribution as you are leveling up.
No infinite dungeon system.
Too much emphasis on weapon dmg and primary stats, which forces you to focus on only specific stats.
No funny weapons/items with special skill abilities(D2 teleport spell on a runeword comes to mind)
Poor combat against botters, resulting in a heavily inflated economy.
Little reason to level a new char as you can change your skills at a whim.

The four marked ones I don't really agree with or I thought they sucked in D2.

Removal of the usability og gold and magic find + a stupid cap.
Magic find/gold on gear is boring, paragon cap is better than D2.

No manual stat distribution as you are leveling up.
Never known what was so freaking great about that, it's like people saying the old wow talents were better, there's 1 or 2 optimal choices and the one with google gets it.

No funny weapons/items with special skill abilities(D2 teleport spell on a runeword comes to mind)
They added a lot of this with the legendary patch, but I guess it could be more.

Good? Seriously you can't have stuff like that in a modern game with a big audience, try demon's souls/dark souls on the highest difficulty.

Your templar's wep looks awesome, you should post your profile

As long as it's not as fast as blinking/charging in D2, while fun it's too fast

I've only ever looted 2 legendaries. Both had the same stats and dropped like 3 min apart. Some set x-bow starting with a D.

Can I has? EU

If you guys can hit over 300 after NV is irrelevant, he's claiming 300% is the cap pre NV, and he didn't say that it was cap but that it couldn't be reached right now.

I've seen some charts made that show with gear you can't get any higher than 256% pre-NV, but not confirmed by myself. But here is the chart

http://www.d3rmt.com...maximum-values/

You can get over 300 MF (before NV) if you use a max MF gem, the right legendaries, some set bonuses, plus a fully MF geared follower.

To that end, a bonus of 3.5MF per paragon level would have made more sense, but maybe they just decided that 300% was a nice round number. /shrug.

And have you EVER thought that those mostly crappy items with a little magic find could be swapped for a superior weapon in terms of damage? In Diablo 2 you balanced Magic Find with Killing Speed.

Is 5-30% magic find better than gear which would allow you to kill faster and survive better?

IIRC no one went over 350% MF in D2 because of diminishing returns and slower killing speed, so don't bring that D2 high magic find bullshit here

I made a ticket about that "reduced item level" thing shortly after the game released

Removing enrage timer and invulnerable minions? Those are the only reasons I'd might start again one day, DERP. No seriously though good changes, those 2 are really boring.

I thought life steal was better at the highest gear levels...

War cry = 30 fury, Battle rage = -20 fury, 10 fury left and hammer costs 20 fury, problem? Or am I missing something?

Edit: Maybe if you had the unforgiving passive but if you're gonna go with WotB + Chaos you will want boon of bul'kathos...

So you played a game for 400 hours before you realised it you found it boring? Not sure if slow in the head... It's 10-15x more hours of gameplay than the average game.

i played for 4 hours, when i logged off - i was down 230k - with nothing to sell on the ah.

died a few times yeh, but i also died on purpose to lure away some stupid hard rares

there is no balance now in gold earning and repairs, if i run out of gold - ill be forced to sell on ah or play another character and try earn some gold that way;

seemed fair imo how it was before

only other alternative is, is buy gold from chinamen :/

Leave game when gear has 10% durability left, go back and grind mobs in act 1. If act 1 is the act you're dying in, quit.

Why is mighty wep better than axe/mace? Wouldn't being closer to 100% crit be better for ancients damage?

No, it wasn't fun back then and it isn't fun now. Diablo 2 would be a disaster if it was released today.
The Nephalem Valor is more interesting even though it goes away if you log out, now I'm saying "more interesting" but I don't find the old boss farming interesting at all so perhaps that tells a bit 'bout me being burnt out with the game.
