Where does it says that Monster Power will increase monster levels? From : ''Affixes on items will now roll their level based on the level of the monster killed (rather than the item’s level)'' I only take from that that lvl61 mobs in act 1 will drop ilvl58+ items with lvl61 affixes, lvl62 act 2 mobs will drop ilvl58+ items with lvl62 affixes, etc.

''We want to make it clear that junk items aren’t worth picking up, and make it easy to identify other items as not for your character.''

They seem to think they're still in diablo 2 where gold had close to no purpose. Of course you won't want to pick and equip white items but what about the money you will get from selling them? I don't see a single reason to not pick white items in inferno and sell them for money to buy epic items in AH.. I really don't like where they're going with their game. They prefer to just remove features and possibly add them in later expansions rather than adding them on release and improve them with patches.. The game is starting to interest me less and less as they screw it all up.

Boring. PC > Consoles.

amazing patch to be honest,
they really touched everything that I found annoying/broken.

only thing I dislike is :
"..in return they’ll receive scaling bonuses to experience (for heroes levels 1-59)".

but cannot complain really.

It does say "as well as" after that so it's a bit ambiguous. Not providing any exp incentive for Monster Power after having just added the Paragon incentive would be extremely short sighted.

Not really. Better loot is more than enough incentive (especially since loot is quickly irrelevant as you level in this game but means everything at 60). With the XP shrines, possible gear bonuses to XP, and the NV buff, I think Blizzard wants to cap how fast people can make it to 100. They really want it to take a while. Besides, better loot = improved combat efficiency which means killing faster thus faster XP anyway. Just not as dramatic as the sub-60 improvements.

Higher monster power presumably means dramatically more HP which would mean slower exp. It would be silly not to at least increase the exp rate enough to compensate for that.

Why is it that, every single time somebody comes in and posts something about their need for a party member on the "hardcore" side of normal, other people have to come in and get all preachy about having no life and the negative health effects of spending too much time playing video games? Of course getting too little sleep, eating junk food, and sitting for long periods of time is bad for your health. I doubt there is anybody here that doesn't actually know that. But so is smoking, excessive drinking, sitting and watching tv rather than running around outside, and 500 million other things we do. And no matter what you say, the OP (in this thread and all others) is not going to change their release plans because you made them see the light with your wonderful wisdom. They are going to do whatever the hell they want in order to enjoy a game that many have been waiting a decade, give or take to be released.

It's the OP's life, not yours. Stop judging others.

^ How is that ruining the game? Who are you to tell others how to enjoy the game? People enjoy it in the way that they feel is best?

ruining their lives? 10 days is ruining someones life? What? What kind of cheap drugs are you on?

I've undergone more sleep deprivation in school, I've undergone more sleep deprivation and force marched. That shit didnt ruin my life. It's their life, and if they are happy doing whatever it is that they do, as long as they dont hurt others, who the fuck are you to judge them? If you dont understand the respect and accolades that go with being the first to conquer something in a blizzard game, you my friend, are on the wrong forums, and playing a game from the wrong company.

When WotLK went live, I spent 3 days playing it constant, without sleep, then went and wrote a theoretical criminology exam and scored and a 98 on it, with a class avg of 60. But i totally ruined my life, and jeopardized my schooling, right?.

I just quit my job about 3 weeks ago, and im enjoying my time off, and I will marathon the shit out of this game, because I've been waiting an eternity to play it, and that's how I enjoy playing new games. Hey? I just played Tera for 2 days straight, god damn my life's over!

It's not your place to judge how someone plays, keep it to yourself, or stfu essentially.
