When you started caring about just farming for items in D2, you had finished the game and you could do anything you wanted. You could just play the game.
In D3 it's pretty much impossible for many classes to get the gear that would be needed to just do the kind of mindless efficient farming that was done in D2. And by the time you got to the point that you had enough gear to do that kind of farming, there's no more gear that you actually want, since you've got the best there is.
In D2, the majority of the play happened after you'd finished everything the game had to offer and you could just screw around and see how powerful you could make your character. D3 has been designed so that you can never screw around, at least not at the end of the game. And if there's any time you'll ever be able to screw around, all of a sudden there's no reward for doing so. You already have the best gear, and there's no new levels to grind.
m8 i do agree on that....the thing is, it's about taste - some ppl want D3 so u can screw around while farming(which means u can run through all mobs in inferno without a scratch), and some ppl want D3 to be challenging(need tacts and effort and always to be on ur toes while fighting mobs in inferno). as u can see it all depends what kind of "ppl" u r - and as much as i can understand that it's fun to just kill thousand of mobs with out a scratch while finding good gear,i prefer a more challenging inferno. so what can i say u can't have both things...cuz the way i see it happening it's only if in addition to the challenging aspect of inferno all the best items will have the same chance to drop in hell - so eventually ppl will have the best gear which makes inferno as challenging as hell(which means "faceroll" it like in hell - and we loss the Challenging aspect of inferno).
so bottom line is - blizz can't satisfy every1, so we can choose to adjust or change to a different game or back to D2.
lol thats ridiculous imo, they do those things to idd secure the overall environment in game to bring the player a better gaming experience, and by that to increase community features like seeing what friends do and if they r online or not.
if it's that big of a deal to some1 - don't play online games period and on that same wind don't open a user in facebook.
what about the rumors that google knows everything about u to an unimaginable extent? which in that case, i am not sure there is any terms of use in using google as a site, plus it doesn't benefit u as a user in any way.
no1 force u to use the Internet or play online, so what every1 need to do is to list the pros and cons of that use - and see what they prefer.
i believe d2 is still awesome today to ppl who played it in the past at his "prime", so i believe it's more the connotation of the game and the memory of how it felt than. so i think cuz of the standard of today's games and gameplay, u won't appreciate the game fully and it might ruin ur motivation to play d3. plus it can take awhile to get in the game and want to collect gear and stuff cuz their r less ppl playing it today and even less when d3 release.
so go play it, but be in state of mind - that the game is outdated and to take everything in proportion - soon enough there will be a better game(imho) thats more modern and fix alot of the flaws it had.
sadly i don't feel much happiness in almost anything...very few things makes me happy. i am miserable cuz of the intensity of homework in the uni and the fact i feel i don't know what i want and that i am not smart enough for the studies i do or fast enough in doing things - but i do these things instead of getting some job somewhere i hate and just do whatever for now on, cuz i know that along the road i will regret i didn't try doing something i might feel more accomplishment and enjoy it.
moreover i feel that the things i might want, can cuz even more pain and sorrow and i won't be able to do those things.
so i am trying to think positive and say that the easy way is always available, so i better try the hard way and if i fail i can always go to the easy way.
so i am trying to do and enjoy the things that make me happy or somewhat happy so i won't go mad - while still doing those things that make me miserable so i won't regret it in the future.
i also sometimes wish i was anonymous and that if i die no1 will get hurt from it, but sadly i can't turn back time - and i know that some ppl will feel very very miserable and feel helpless if i die. so if let's say i kill myself i won't feel anything and will be oblivious about everything, but some ppl will have to live their whole life with the dark/empty spot in the mind and heart cuz i am not around. so i can never do that do them and hurt ppl that i love that way.
so bottom line is, try the hard way as much as u can - cuz easy way is always available. and if u feel miserable in anyway try find those small things that make u happy and stick to them.
hope the best for every1 so they find their pleasant spot and don't give up too easy.
wall street:money never sleeps - 7/10.
the movie was ok nothing more.
not 1 of Shia Labeouf's best acting part - but i enjoy his acting and his speed talk in general.
well i am sry for u for having such experience in RL and i am happy for u had such experience in online games.
i think all the words u said like...nerds, jocks, jerks, bullies- have alot more "faces" other than the stereotype. i believe some hidden their true being or apart of their being behind the stereotype word - to explain myself: nerds enjoying other things than online games and can be jerks/bullies them selves in online games or jerks also played online games tho they didn't show it cuz it will make them "nerds".
now i don't know how old r u and when was those times u say u miss and ur environment idea about fashion and availability of online gaming. but i myself first played an online game 10-11 years back and still back then i met all kind of ppl and not as much as those good old "nerds" u describe. so as u said i think u were lucky and i am happy for u about that.
tho today imho isn't any different when it comes to the ratio of good and bad ppl online, only that today it sure is alot more popular which makes a much more verity of ppl u met which can be a good and bad thing the same time as anything else.
P.S: thumbs up for the originality of the thread topic
well imho...as u said u play a prot pala, i believe the barb is more similar to the pala, not to say a prot pala :). personally if u know u like melee-oriented classes, u better play them both and see what u like, cuz imo diablo has a very different type of gameplay then wow. not to say there isn't all that tank-heal-dps categorizing.
i also had 2 palas mostly prot and holy in raids/grps - and i rly enjoy the monk class although it has a more roguey-feel to him( tho as i said u can't much say they r alike cuz it's different gameplay overall).
when it comes to pro and cons i think Kirisu sum it up quite well - it all comes down to what u as a gamer look for in ur char.
sadly about the guide i don't know what is written there - and how it can help u in-game. so got no suggestion - although as ppl said, there isn't much reason for a guide in this game when it comes to maps and finding stuff, only mayB when it comes to how u can optimal ur char.(tho u can come up with ur own strategy when it comes to skill choice and routine-which i think is the most rewarding and enjoyable way )
well my first beta i played was the open beta of wow right before it was released - played a nightelf hunter till about lvl 15 than wow was released :P.
however my first/only invite to a beta wasn't even through the main site, it was from this fan site forum contest(D3 beta). not only was i extra thrilled cuz it was a D3 beta - also cuz i managed to win something :)(something like a lottery). i couldn't breath for about 10 mins and it was more or less at midnight so i wanted to go to bed while downloading the client - i was so excited i couldn't sleep :P.
I adore kicking, but it won't make it at launch :/ Darn it with this game, if only they took their time making it... It's not like it's been 6-7 years since they started it!
Question: In order for someone else to join, do I have to make the game public? What does this mean: I ONLY want my friend/bro/gf/dad/dog to join, can I create a "private" game?
when u open a game it's private game - which means ur friend list can join and u can inv ppl. if u want it to be public - and ppl from the matching system can join u need to press Esc and click the public button option.
imho there shouldn't be a kick system cuz it's open to abuse - in comparison to WoW, ppl did abuse it to their liking, and in most pug cases if u didn't get kicked it's because u were good enough for the grp. now unlike wow in D3 u can change ur skills at a sec notice so there is another element in the game that can cuz u to be kicked - if u don't put the skills the grp wants.
now personally if most ppl in game doesn't like my spec or i can change it or i will leave( i know alot of ppl won't give a sh_it and stay even if all of the grp doesn't want him).
now when it comes to ppl which join just to abuse the grp in any way. that grp can leave the game and open new 1- which in that case the only thing u lose from ur previous game is - ur nephlam valor and mobs behind u get respawned. as u guys know when ever u leave a game u can resume that same game from that same spot or mayB alittle early point(checkpoint if i am correct). so if u afraid u won't be able to grp with the same ppl before the abusive player enter...u have in ur social window( or what ever it calls) ur recent ppl u play with and if that doesn't work u can just put them in ur friend list.
i agree that at some point of time u will be so unlucky that ever game u open ur game is full of abusive ppl( but thats not so often)...as u can see my opinion, i don't think there should be a kick system cuz i believe there r more picky players than abusive player - and there for the advantage of a non kick system is higher.
hopefully i mange to give a bit different point of view on the subject and contributed the discussion.
i also mange to fight an champion mob in the defiled crypts which have the jailer ability - which surround u with a red circle and u can't move till it wears off. he didn't have the "jailer" enhancement title under his name...he had some humorous phrase under his name instead - like only blizz can write :P.
so yes there is this affix in beta but the other 1s u stated i didn't encounter yet...tho it can be nice to bump into 1
i believe u guys should clarify between ur selves - where everything is coming from and what exactly she is scared of(and i mean like an honest answer and straight up what is it about) - if even thats the reason she wanted to break the deal...imho opinion 1 of the most common reasons of break ups(of any relationship) r misunderstanding and not talking about what each other feel(no communication).
m8 i will have to agree with the other posts - that making a personal issue a "public" 1 is not the way to go. instead of telling some random ppl to send her "he loves u" massages...u should tell her ur self that u love her - and as i mention talk things through.
thats my honest opinion -and i hope u best of luck,
sadly if u study in the university - it's rly hard to find a good timing, cuz u have like 2.5 months (aug-oct) which r free from study as long as u don't need to do: second try tests or got summer courses.
ofc every day is a good timing if u don't care about ur grades/degree :P.
so all the lucky ppl - congrats and enjoy....and for all the unlucky 1s(including myself) - stay strong till summer break and don't give in too much to temptations
well from my little experience in the beta i felt the most often and amount of champions mobs in the beta r in the defiled crypts in any of the 3 - plus i think only once i didn't get 1 of the events in any of the crypts.
tho thats just my feeling/opinion mayB u should try it out and see if u get more or less champions :).
i finished seeing a movie and checked FB to see if any posts been made...than i saw force video posted and scroll abit down so i will be sure and saw an update from diablo 3 official site. ofc than i enter diablo 3 offical site and DF site i was so excited i rly didn't digest it for a few mins. than sending 2 sms "may 15th!!!!" to my friend and my cousin. my cousin didn't know what i meant i the beginning than i told him and was excited. and my friend called me to ask if it's legit and if there is a blue post about it so he can be sure it's real - hehe said i made his day :), surly it made my day and every1 else's :P.
