DiabloFans

i'm glad some skills are getting buffed, but none of this changes what goes on my bar unfortunately. maybe some of the changes not mentioned will.

it doesn't matter that they buff the other hatred generators. i need a skill that does single target damage on my left mouse. it's still going to be hungering. i don't need it to do aoe damage. i have an aoe ability on my right mouse. if i want to aoe, i hit my right mouse to spend hatred. so buffing the damage of those other abilities changes nothing.

the aoe spender changes also doesn't help. i use ball of lightning almost always. not because of any theoretical damage. the way it functions in most situations is superior to the rest. slightly buffing the damage of other skills isn't going to make me switch.

this update isn't just number changes. it's basically introducing new skills.

these are skills almost no one uses, so if you start using a skill you've never used before...

what's the point of making brand new abilities if people aren't even using the different ones already available

i'm fairly certain it was reported on this forum a few months ago that diablo 3 was dead

so we're okay

this is mostly a great update

i have to agree on the WD offhand being bad, though. it's bad for Pet build WDs. you don't want your pets to be so crappy that you constantly have to summon them which is the point of a cooldown reduction. you want your pets to be tougher so they don't die as often.

i would not use that offhand even with a pet build. i want them to be alive. not dead and having to resummon.

if any religion was the one true religion then it would come naturally. a person could grow up on a deserted island with no outside influence and naturally know who Jesus or Mohammed is.

that obviously can't happen so all religious belief is the result of humans putting it into your brain. not a god.

so...you guys bashing blizzard for d3 not taking long enough to beat or not having an endgame...do you flood other game's forums with that kind of stuff? madden? mario kart? street fighter? how about zelda? why doesn't pong have an endgame?

d3 doesn't have a subscription. the number of hours you get in playtime far exceeds almost every other game on the market without a subscription. 99% of games are lucky to give you 20-40 hours of playing. if you've played d3 to death and beat inferno then odds are you're clocking 200, maybe 300+ hours of playing. what other game did you make a one time payment for and play that much? it can't be many.

if we were talking about a WoW peer then fine. you're paying $15/mo and i'm sure plenty of people have played WoW for thousands of hours. but that's not what diablo is.

does $60 entitle you to 7+ years of content updates and thousands upon thousands of hours of playtime? like WoW? if you truly believe that then why don't you hold the same standard to any other game that sells for $50-60?

as much as people love to bitch about d3, similar games fall way short

history is repeating itself

that's a lot of gold left on the ground

i start with the price i'd pay for it then triple it and add a zero to the end

they're going in the right direction it seems. now we just need everyone to have some patience.


heh...

I've been trying really hard to find a reason to hate d3. After playing the game way too much in a small amount of time, I've finally managed to do just that.

so anyone want to tell us how many "great" items you're suppose to find in a certain amount of time? If what you're finding now isn't good enough then that means you know how much is good enough. Just curious what would make people happy. be specific please.

most players don't watch videos or read forums about d3. i doubt very many people go crazy over a build someone posts.

you could avoid forums i guess if it bothers you. or maybe come up with your own builds and convince others to go apeshit over you.

d2 didn't have inferno. you could get away with crazy builds and gear choices because the content was so easy. this was amplified by having the option to join a game with 7 other people who would carry the weight of your bad choices.

there was nothing better about items in d2. if hell was the end of d3 with no inferno then it would be the same thing.

even if you stack armor/resists in every slot with other relevant stats (regen etc) pets will get destroyed in many situations starting in act 2. i was able to make act 1 ez mode except for plague pools. in act 2 it just doesn't take much for them to explode in half a second. there's too many things that players are suppose to avoid that they can't which deal enormous damage.

but act 1 farming isn't so bad if the build is fun
