Why do you feel the need to answer in snide ways? We get it, you like the exact way you created your class and skills and names. Doesn't mean when critique comes you act like a child.

It doesn't take statistical analysis to see that percent based max health damage isn't nearly balanced. In grift 70 thats 165 billion dps in a passive ability to the Guardian for ruby malady.

The number of classes that use a certain main stat is irrelavent now with smart loot.

Bile comes from within, but I doubt a stomach acid would lend to a large pool of otherworldly power.

Malthael being dead didn't do anything to the world in terms of death. He embraced death just like a necromancer would. And being a former angel the power was much greater. Regardless, he wasn't actually death itself or anything that special., so his death didn't signify a spread of death across othe world, in fact, it was the opposite, innocent souls STOPPED being reaped, so even less dead than what was happening.

Also, with the falling star in the very first act of diablo 3, why wasn't the necro called then with the dead being risen left and right?

The amount of logical fallicies is mind boggling.

However, you did well converting the base skills from the necro into the new age of d3. But then again, all you did was take all the exact same skills and revamped them.

45-55% buffed.
But you need to also state what ML are you planing to play cause at ML 0-2 you can have as low as 30%.

As a monk, I play ML4 with 26%, and 50k dps, and it is pretty smooth.

this is barb forum and unlike monks, barb needs good amount of crit for steady fury regen and not just for higher dps

1) How does it tangibly affect you? I hear a lot of people say "it ruins the game" or somesuch, but I'd like to know how it does this in your opinion. Or do you have very bad internet, or a firewall at your university, or whatever, and have trouble connecting to battle.net?

2) In D2 we had to join trading games if we wanted to trade, limited to 8 players. The other players might be afk, might not have good stuff for trade, might not want what we had for trade, etc. We began to use SoJs (unique ring ) and perfect skulls (good gems) for currency.

But even this wasn't enough, and a site called d2jsp was born. Because it addressed a glaring need among d2 players by giving us a currency (forum gold), the site's founder got rich off it.

2) And so my second question is, how could Blizzard have addressed players' need to trade easily with a fluid currency *without* implementing an AH?

Since you asked nicely I will try to eplain.

First of all, Blizzard's people stated that in no way the item droprate was designed with the AH as a first priority in mind.

I think it is total BS.

If you do not agree with me on this first point, then you'll most likely differ with the rest as well.

I'm sure that anybody with a love for economy will acknowledge Diablo 3's AH as a success. From this point of view it is. It seems to work pretty well. Supply, demand, sinks, exchange rates... plenty of fun for all of those who like this sort of things.

I don't. I really don't. But i'm a huge Diablo fan. I played the first one and the second for hundreds of hours. And never, never did i indulge in trading or speculating or making gold for the sake of gold or to buy godly items. In those two games, it was never mandatory. This is why I feel cheated, in my expectations as a Diablo fan, by this auction house. And this brings me to my second point.

Why I don't enjoy buying items.

It's not like I don't enjoy it. It's just that finding them is pretty much a thousand times more enjoyable to me. I like, when browsing my caracter's stuff, to remember how I got this or that. Was it on a boss, in an urn, on a pillar? Did i explode on a molten viper in my eagerness to pick it up?

An item you found has a story. A story you wrote by playing. Items you buy feel soulless.

The auction house and the stupid drop rates that came from it ruined much of this pleasure.

Seriously, with good mf, you may find like 5 rares/elite. How can you still call those items "rare" in any way? And 99,9% of them are crap. So much for the stories.

Well in fact this is not so much the auction house than the way you're forced into it. I'm not this kind of stupid people who resent others for enjoying something they don't. It's a real good thing there's an auction house for those who like this sort of things. But I wish the game wasn't design around it. The way it is, I'm forced to bear the downsides of the auction house when I play, wether I use it or not. That's why it feels wrong as a whole to me.

Now. At first, when I played D3, I blamed the always online thing on the Auction House.

But as for the droprate, Blizzard's people stated that the always online requirement is not drm and it's BS too. It would have been the same with or without auction house so...

Final word : don't mistake me. I love the game. There has been much improvement from D2 in other aspects. The two first had their flaws too. I say it again, I love the game. But this is all the more frustrating. We were just two steps away from perfection.

Because it's not fun, unless there is an impossible goal to strive towards for years.

No, it isn't fun to have a goal which is impossible to reach unless you play for hours upon hours each day for years ahead.

Many have already said that 1-100 Paragon is roughly equal to 1-99 in Diablo 2. Your memory seems to elude you. It's perfectly fine as it is.

Quote from Zubacz

I don't think loot is a problem in Diablo 3. Diablo 2 had a very similar loot system and it was fine. Why do you want more loot anyway? To improve the killing speed slightly? Or for the future pvp?

People left Diablo 3 because it was extremely repetative and had a level cap. The level cap is gone, now the paragon levels give people something to strive for apart from loot. The repetition is still there though. Diablo 2 had randomly generated areas, which were also much larger than the areas in Diablo 3. Doing the exact same places of Act 3 over and over gets old very quickly.

The thing I think would restore the glory to Diablo 3 is a randomly generated, endless dungeon mode.

my thoughts: 90% of ideads from the forum are better than what is in game now, but blizzards do not give a fuck about uhappy minority, that acts like this game is a mmo
