I don't think so. Now the Barb can use a class of weapons called "Mighty Weapons" that other classes can't use (which are better than regular one handers), but they can't dual wield 2 handers.
Companies that have the attitude that they know better than their customers are doomed to fail. Can you imagine ordering a sandwich with no tomatoes and the chef says he know better than you that tomatoes make the sandwich good? That is not a successful business model.
This couldn't be further from the truth. Most companies that provide a specialist service are hired specifically because they know better than the customer. That's the whole point- they do it better than you, so you pay them to do it. Even your restaurant example is pretty bad, since many high-end restaurants have exactly that business model (no substitutions menus) because the chef knows what makes a good flavor profile better than you do. They're successful because they're right.
Blizzard is a professional game design company, and they know what makes good games. They do know better than their average customers when it comes to game design. Listening to ideas from the community is great, but they do better ignoring most of it and making a good game their way.
PvP has always been an afterthought even in D1 and D2.
This. This is why it was terrible in D2, and this is why I like what they're doing with it in D3; they're thinking about it from an early stage and planning it in a way that will be fun, rather than tacking on a broken system that hurt more than it helped.
Yep. I trust them. They've never made a bad game, and the way they move forwards in their development has always made sense. IMO they're the only game company worthy of any kind of trust, because they take the time to get it right rather than setting arbitrary dates and sticking to them.
I am talking about RIGHT NOW.
No I can't predict the future, how perceptive of you. But I don't believe that Blizzard is a god, and I have to have unconditional faith in them either.
The wizards dmg output is terrible atm in the beta, far below the other classes, and if these skills don't get changed it will be that way on release too.
The problem I have with this is that you don't even know how much damage the wizard does RIGHT NOW. The beta does not reflect their internal builds, and they don't make any particular effort to have things at all balanced for the released beta builds. The only information you have is that at some point, for some reason, someone at Blizzard wanted to know what the Wizard would be like at the damage levels you're seeing. Basing a whole "sky is falling" reaction with no real foundation to stand on just seems like a waste of time.
Wow an admitted cheater. You have just lost all credibilty.
No matter how good you claim you intentions to be.
You sir are the enemy!
Reading through this thread, I think he has a lot more credibility than you do at this point. He's giving straight-up answers and not avoiding a healthy discussion, whereas you seem to be looking for excuses to not have to defend your point of view. He could be a serial murderer and still make a good point, and a complete saint could be worthless to the discussion if he won't express the reasons behind his views.
I think it's good to get this stuff out in the open. I'd prefer to be educated on what the signs are of people around me cheating so I can make reasonable decisions on what to report. Pulling a blanket over the whole thing only helps the people abusing the system.
Quit trolling, and show any signature spell that can put out those single target numbers. You can't!
Show me an AoE skill the wizard has that can put up those AoE #'s. You can't!.
Quit trolling, and show what the stats of any of the spells mentioned are going to be at release. Oh wait, you can't!
