Well obv the only benefit is getting basically infinite vaults and if you use no other Disc spenders you can use Preparation to restore your hatred. The only difference then would be can you get more damage out of your Danettas vs your Nats
Hi all, so I wanted to make the Wall of Man shield for my Templar, but as I am running a Demon Hunter, I don't want the shield to have Dex for obvious reasons. So I need to basically use the Barb for the craft I presume, but he is only level 60 right now, do I need to level the Baba up to get a lvl 70 roll for the item in question or can I just craft at level 60?
You're only looking at one side of the coin - yes, you can play for hours and hours on end with no guarantees you'll find what you want. The flip side of that, however, is that you can also play for 10 minutes and find exactly what you want. It's just a different type of game, and that has its merits. Finding the piece of gear you've been hunting for in a random environment is a total rush because of the fact that drops are random and you could've gone months without finding it.
Personally, I prefer the randomness to the guaranteed because I'd rather have the chance to find what I want in a couple of hours, instead of the guarantee I'll get it in one year (to use your example about the Crusader shield). Like you, I'm an adult; I have responsibilities and I can only play a couple of hours here and a couple of hours there. I like knowing that during those couple of hours, I have a chance to find a sweet piece of gear. What you're describing, the system where you constantly make small progress toward your goal over many play sessions, that sounds like a job.
I also like the freedom that's provided by the fact that there are relatively few ways to short-circuit the lottery system that's in place. If I want a Blade of the Prophecy for my Crusader, all I can do is just play, and gamble for 2-handers. Lets me focus on the journey, not the destination.
That's my take on it.
I agree with the essence of this post. I actually enjoy playing the game, not wasting time trying to trade. Im in the random chance lottery as long as I am playing, and playing is fun. So I am having fun and hey, maybe I get that awesome upgrade I am looking for.
Im sure if you had some ideas of what to change specifically we could critique them intelligently, but you still have only criticisms. Now maybe some of your criticism are valid but lets hear some ideas from you.
OK, I understand your point, basically you want trading back. But that opens the door to the third party sites selling stuff. Its kind of a trade off, and while I do miss trading I also dont miss people buying their items off of websites.
Honestly you should check out Path of Exile, the trading game there is strong as hell and you really have to understand the economy to trade effectively. It was this strong trading aspect of the game that ultimately led me to quit as I was spending HOURS bartering. D3 is better for my lifestyle as a Dad, just my 2 cents.
Its not trade that i miss exactly alot of it was a chore, its more what it unabled as a goal seeker that i prefered. Im sure theres more than one way to do it that might not involve trading. Crafting for exemple could have been one of them, but they made crafting pretty poor again. They made it poor because they made crafting only short term goals and quick. It could have gone another way.
What do you mean crafting is short term and quick? You have to farm all the mats and sometimes re-reroll many times. For example I have made three sets of reaper wraps that didnt roll the way I wanted, this is a long term goal I am working on for my character. What changes exactly would you like to see in crafting. Seems like you have a feeling you want the game to have but no specific ideas about how to achieve that goal.

I played D2 as a teenager, now I am an adult with kids and I think Diablo is more generous than ever. Did you really play D2? Stuff never ever dropped in that game and if it did other people jacked it before you could pick it up. D3 is great, L-Drop about every other game in T2, perfect to pick up and play and not a giant time investment away from my family. As for blood shards, ivespent around1-2k and I have gotten 1-2 L-Drops, nothing useful but hey, free shot at loot.
What exactly do you want them to do, give you a legendary ever 500 blood shards, legendary every hour, diablo is a grind game, and is way less grindy these days than it used to be. Im sorry but for a guy in a similar position to you I cant really see what you are talking about.
Yep, I have literally the exact same problem. Got my cindercoat in the weeks b4 ROS, now I cannot part with it, Cluster Arrow costs so much and I cannot live without the resource cost reduction. Its just there until I find a new one, if ever. Level 60 Cindercoat 4 life.
