The atmosphere is a lot more daunting. If anything, they could have made it more grand and "end-times".
And Diablo 2 had NO end game. They're gonna release PvP, and that was always a given. Inferno has kept PLENTY of people busy enough, with Ghom kicking all of our asses at some point.
And whats not getting mentioned at all is the fact that every skills damage depends on the weapon you are wearing. this is not just dull and completely boring but a major design failure. thanks to wyatt cheng btw.
It might not look like it but in reality any elite/champion will always follow you. So instead of running after them lure them into a previously cleared area.
i got sc2 for the campaign and the custom maps. blizzard just ruined the latter for all of us who played and loved wc3 just for the custom maps. campaign was fine though even if one usually only plays it once.
Dont tell me the Devs did even think about seperated elemental resistances. they dont even make a difference between fire, lightning and poison because on their end its all about 'dps'. Bring back the Schaefer Brothers to get back some of the depth in combat and game mechanics. Im not even asking for a Horadric Cube.
I get a kick out of people that get so defensive about this game, that they always feel the need to include a generalized insult to feel better about themselves. There is obviously no other reasonable explanation as to why people have left this game then that they are kids with short attention spans. Boy, you know what's up.
Yep, you got me figured out. I'm so defensive that these forums are full of people who do nothing but whine and troll. I'm so defensive about really enjoying a game while numbers falsely dwindle from an inaccurate report from XFire. There is obviously no other explanation than that the game is bad, Blizzard is evil, RMAH is the only thing that matters, and kids don't have short attention spans. Glad you know what's up too, and I'm glad your attention span is here long enough to feel compelled to chime in. Wow, I sure feel better about myself now that I don't care that you cry babies are quitting, you gd genius.
but you actually care enough to post in such topics.
I am no longer a fan of Blizzard, since patch 1.0.3 and the rampant mistakes the patch has, over and above the "bugged" equipment stats (yeah as if that wasn't done to sway AH prices), instead of dealing with poorly timed animations causing rubberband death, laggy servers and super crappy loot drops the development team is busy banning people from the forums that disagree with the brown-nosers who are DIRECTLY insulting those of us that are frustrated. Maybe Blizzard needs a third party to come in and FIX their game for them, it's become obvious all they are concerned with is whether or not the RMAH makes $. The real reason die hard diablo fans didn't get a real diablo 3 is simple, the team that actually put it together and made it great all left when a French company took it over and changed the corporate agenda, to pure profit, no fun for you, we decide whats fun, aren't you thankful?
Wow. You mean you got to play the game that the "original team" made, that "made it great"?
How the $@#& do you know how great it was? STFU and take your whining somewhere else. You come in here yelling a bunch of BS, which is your own opinion and delusions, as if they were fact.
Surely, you would not dare to behave in a similar manner. I also think you are the kind who has been sitting on the last bench in the class room for a while now. You are jsut beeing rude and should, after glancing over your post once more really come to the same conclusion.
I did enjoy it. Thread Title is not misleading because if you look at it its less then DII ever was. DII was grind and grind all over again but with so many options that it quite didnt feel like that pure grind for the sole purpose of having to grind. Well, maybe im just curious in how it is possible that this Blizzard North Team did more with less back then.
How the hell is Diablo 2 so much more interesting with end game? Aside from Dclone and Uber Tristram, there isn't a difference. Oh wait, they gave monsters immunities and penalized your resistances. Everyone still had to stack Vitality and resists to survive the hits and dump points into their main nuke in order to avoid being one-shotted.
I really have to laugh in yours and everyone else's faces that come in here to try and make a point to complain about how Diablo 3's end-game sucks and do so by trying to compare it to Diablo 2 which was FAR less tactical. No game will ever be perfect, yes there are some itemization and balance issues at the moment, BUT COME THE FUCK ON ALREADY. How fucking "interesting" is a Whack-A-Mole style control and combat system going to get? If you want complexity and depth, you're going to have to find a different game. Diablo simply never has and never will be in-depth and complex to any major degree. It just isn't.
Good riddance...
Give me a break, you have never played Diablo II did you?
This is something i asked myself since ive been through nightmare difficulty. I dont see any things being added to the metagame of Diablo. Of course there is new classes and new spells and you got that supposed to be awesome system of altering your favourite spells by runes.
Now i dont necessarily think that would count as an improvement compared ( i dare to say it) Diablo II. Diablo 2 is the sole reason why i gave diablo 3 a shot. I used to play it for a year, then choose to quit it because it was ruining may day to day life only to fall back in the same addicted state of mind 2 years later. Diablo 3 is out not even 2 weeks and i already feel fed up of it. Its a great game for sure and i already have like 60 hours spent on my character so far but i have reached a point where i ask myself on how does this game differ to the game that was released 12 years ago and i come the conclusion that they have actually not added anything new to it in terms of metagame.
Contrary they removed so many things which i appreciated back then, an EXP bar which gave me the illusion not to only join games because of the loot. A gambling Vendor, Charsi or even the Hellforge Quest for getting a sole Gul rune every once in a while.
They removed those things and in turn added nothin but an Auction House which is turning this game pre infero into a real bad joke. I just want to know if this is it or if we can expect more to it? This is (in my opinion) less then D2. Inferno will be beaten the same way people did beat Hell difficulty back then. A lot of people kept playing after that tho. The Thing is i can not see me playin past inferno difficulty because in some way the developers just trivialized the meta game of what this game is about. Diablo 2 was never only about loot hunting.. Loot hunting was just the ticket to try something new. even if that 'new' was something you read about on a dedicated fan site.
So how is it not related to skill? Try doing Inferno naked like people did in D2 HC Mode. Try doing Ubertrist naked on HC. If you was skilled enough in D2 you could have done it, people actually did it. Try remove your weapon in d3 you wont get past the butcher in normal difficulty.
was just randomly spamming NPCs until i got this message from Brother Malachi the Healer.
Anyone knows who the guy is and what he does in Tristram? Dont want to weigh to much imprtance on this guy but the message he left me, i found quite worth of sharing
