Transmog is fine in Diablo III. People overreact to "WoW" features. The AH is a WoW feature. And now......it's gone!
Btw, they removed BOA most likely because they don't need to BoA items now cause of AH removal. BoA was simply a failed attempt to counter AH use. See crafted Archon gear. Now they don't need to BoA anything.

Oct 11, 2013Serpenth posted a message on New Datamined Patch - Class Changes, Passive Effects, Item Graphics and MUCH moreAlso the Thunderfury name could just be a placeholder...so let's not got too worked up over it just yet (not that anyone really is, just saying it could very well be a placeholder).Posted in: News
Also in terms of life steal becoming obsolete, maybe their philosophy on survival is changing. Now pretty much you gear up on lifesteal/loh depending on build on you just settle with that. Do people really "try" to pick up health globes at lvl 60?
It's possible with the changes lifesteal/loh are something you look for on low level gear and health globes may play a major role at the new cap. Just something to think about, not really try to strongly make a case for this, just throwing it out there. -

This is what they are saying however I'm a little skeptical on this as well, I'm sure we will know for sure shortly. However I still stand with my argument as to people shouldn't complain about their gear becoming brimstones. It was inevitable. -
Aug 21, 2013Serpenth posted a message on [UPDATED] Watch D3's Expansion 'Reaper of Souls' teaser and opening cinematic!Don't know why people are going to complain about gear becoming obsolete.Posted in: News
1.) Current gear is shit isn't that what we've been complaining about?
2.) Lol if you thought any itemization changes would be retroactive. You'd be salvaging that bullshit anyways.
3.) Level cap increase - perfect way to put the shitty itemization behind us - your gear will just suck until 60. -

I'm sure D3 with still be there in the morning..
Yeah I would like to go to bed as well, however I wanna see the stuff before it's flooded with "LOL PURE SHIT F U BLIZZARD" comments spammed. -
Aug 21, 2013Serpenth posted a message on [Updated] Blizzard's Gamescom Stream, A Detailed Look at D3's Booth, Leads to Expansion Trailer ConfirmationAlso a bit confused, as it was rumored the announcement would be made during the press conference/release whatever. Is it just not streamable, or is it the announcement not being made until a future presentation.Posted in: News
The more clear question is - is this coming with in the next hour or so, or should I go to bed? -

Aug 20, 2013Serpenth posted a message on Glance at D3's Gamescom Booth, Interview With Josh Mosqueira, UnidColor's Diablo 2 Fan ArtWell based on the inc gamers link it appears we will at least have a cinematic trailer / announcement tomorrow. I don't think we learn much about features until later in the week if not Blizzcon.Posted in: News
However I don't know the schedule, so I could be wrong and we could learn a lot tomorrow. -

hey guys. I'm one of the IT guys working at the gamescom and I haven't seen any sign of the expansion pack :/ .
But when I worked at the booth some stuff wasn't finished so maybe there is a small hope.
I'm curious what a sign would be. I assume any presentation they have is saved on a flash drive. I don't think they would have a big poster or anything because well it would be revealed by now. However since you work there what is stuff that you would expect to see?
If there special announcement is PS4/Xbox1 i hate them -

However, if it was going to be released this year we would have an announcement by now. -

loot 2.0 (aka the everything is account bound patch) will be released with the expansion that will drop xmas of this year.
I'm dreading the announcement of everything being account bound because I want to buy the expansion. I'm leaning toward expansion announcement though, or at least trailer. They better no be hyping up the PS4/Xbox one announcement.

I'd say most posters here like the game or at least have interest in it's future success. There are very blatant haters however they usually don't survive very long as it becomes obvious to normal posters here.
Sure we all disagree on a lot of stuff but usually it's a thoughtful discussion that ultimately shows that the diablofans community do care about the game. I actively play on and off but as long as I'm not super busy with school I try to stay active with these forums.
I'd say I still enjoy the game but I don't play it 6 hours a day, which I think is the reason why I still like it ;p.

Hearthstone is fun you may as well try it out since you have it ;P.

Based on the replies already I feel it's pointless for me to mention my thoughts, but I will anyways:
Yes it's a lame "excuse" but you have to buy the expansion. The game is evolving and most if not all will be buying the expansion (who still play the game). There will be no balance for a Vanilla D3 experience because that's not the intent. The Reaper of Souls features have been on video and streams for about a month now. Everybody should know where they stand on the future of the game.
The PTR is not "RoS Beta lite". It is testing the core system changes that are being implemented likely 2 weeks to a month before the expansion. Based on how Blizzard has treated these types of patches with WoW - they likely don't care how awkward or broken the vanilla version will be for two weeks. The PTR is not meant to satisfy your need for new content, so all of these "I quit because of what's on the PTR" people honestly in my opinion are idiots who didn't even intend to buy the expansion anyways. Again, these features have been on display for a few weeks now. You know what you're getting.
Reaper of Souls is the new game. If you don't buy it you don't get most of the new features. Either way, I don't care. The point is the PTR is not "RoS beta lite" and vanilla D3 will no longer be the main focus of balance once everyone has moved on to RoS.

I agree. I also feel like the whole interface needs to overhauled. The new main menu and in game menu are so empty, ugly, and unbalanced. The new inventory window is also somewhat painful to look at. I'm hoping the current UI's are temporary because look like they were thrown together with no thought process whatsoever. Which is fine for a beta, I just hope they know how ugly they all are.

Also, it hasn't been officially announced yet. Just like the ladder, or devils hand ;P. So since there has been no announcement the date could change. I'm not trying to be a party pooper here I just like to remind people to keep their expectations in check. I hate reading threads of people complaining about things that were never announced not being released.

I'm sure despite what they do with pre orders there will be a random chance of being invited with a battle.net opt in.

Nobody is going to sit here and try to convince you why you should play.
If what is being presented isn't pleasing then don't continue to play, don't buy the expansion. It's really not that hard.

I know it's still very early and it's absolutely no where near panic time. However it is a concern we should raise. My impression of bounties/rifts before Blizzcon was that they would be found on your traditional farming routes as some type of surprise. However how the system works now is you just open your map and you are told exactly where they are. This does not promote any other type of open world exploration in adventure mode. In fact it's not even adventure mode it's bounty mode.
I'm not 100% sure about how the rifts work but my understanding is you get a key, and you open it up in town. Why in town? That is the most accessible thing I've ever heard of it. Put the obelisks that open the rifts in the open world so we have to find them and have a reason to explore.
I also feel that rifts and bounties should compliment current adventuring and not replace it. One criticism I have had of Blizzard in recent years is that it seems that they fail to compliment new features with existing features and just downright make the new features replacements.
I know it's still beta and that's why it's important that I post this. It is important for everyone to remember that this is an exclusive public invitation to friends and family beta and this is nowhere near complete. I don't expect RoS to launch any sooner because 3,000 people have access to the F/F beta. I still feel that it will be a summer launch. This conclusion is kind of irrelevant though, so I'm hoping people quote the above feedback and not my release date prediction.

In terms of hoarded items, I've already got rid of mine before everyone catches on that they will be useless in RoS. I got rid of all of my gems, tomes, and crafting mats this morning.
As far as Paragon and Gold where those are things people earned while playing. Sure some people bought it on the RMAH but people will always buy third party gold w/o an AH.
Just because Vanilla D3 is subpar, doesn't mean peoples accomplishments should be reset. There are people who enjoy playing (such as myself, on and off) and there's no reason to reset progress. Just the idea of resetting progress makes it seem like vanilla was irrelevant. It's still a part of the game whether it meets expectations or not.
There's things to log on and do. If one doesn't feel compelled to do so then fine, wait for the expansion. However people do enjoy playing now and their experiences and accomplishments in terms of paragon and achievements should not be disregarded.

As far as itemization is concerned I'm reserving judgment for a few more major builds. I still think BoE is a better solution than BoA. However, it appears Blizzard wants to bind items to accounts now which I don't 100% support but don't 100% not support. I'm in the middle. As far as the stats on items, I think there could be a little improvement.
I stand by my theory that this game received such harsh criticism partly because half the people that bought it thought it was WoW with a different camera angle.

Ladders haven't even been announced yet so ............
In regards to the original post, I don't really tend to get too fussed about things being scratched. It usually probably means that it didn't fulfill what they were hoping. I know plenty of things like the tailsman, mystic were scratched for original launch but what if the Tailsman sucked? Of course the mystic provides argument that they just saved it for a content patch/expansion, which I really don't know/have an opinion on.
