Have you ever considered that you might just not be that good?
No I did not for I am awesome at pretty much any video games that comes out that I put the smallest effort in it. I beat all my games on the hardest settings within days, have a shit load of platinum trophies if you have any idea what those are, always finish in top 3 in matches in online FPS BF3/cod, was ranked top 20 in warcraft 3 on azeroth and im passing. With that said, I have nothing to prove to you so, yeah w/e. And since when this game is hard, give me the gear and i will rape through everything. There was this Barb on act 2 with crazy gear, all he was using was cleave, i didnt see him use any spells besides berserker and volcano, so please, don't come here and tell me you need skills to play this game a 10 years old could play.
all those people who have beaten act II inferno are better at video games than you are. Enjoy your trophies, which, are actually just pixels and not actual accolades.
The truth is I have played with some really great players, that know how to play the game and aren't bitching. I know that this forum has a better half of its members that feel this way but wouldn't stoop to this level. That is okay, I am willing to say the things they think and let everyone know that the legions of Hell have an enemy in me. zer0rbit, I am super thankful for you posting in this thread because it vindicated the way I was feeling.
Also, funny how there are two people here asking 'for their forum back'. One has forty-odd posts, the other just over 100. Just thought it was interesting.
It is crap like that keeps from wanting to post in these forums. You are implying that to have insight into the community I must have posted my opinion and ripostes hundreds of times. Obviously you and I use these forums in different ways, but to attack my credibility is another matter. There is as little need to throw that number into question as would be race or country of residence, and I should remind you that it would only belittle your argument further to continue down such a road of pulling real life facts from each others lives and posting them here.
The issue with the forum name is not with the lack of a number assigned to the end of the game's title, as I would have expected anyone with a grasp of english lexicon to understand. The word fan is defined as:
An apparatus with rotating blades that creates a current of air for cooling or ventilation.
A person who has a strong interest in or admiration for a particular sport, art or entertainment form, or famous person.
The scum here are detractors and defamers looking to find any other solution beyond there own lack of ability or understanding, to which, if they had a decent amount to begin with, would save their salty opinions for a more appropriate place; that is the realm of their own thoughts. I can guarantee that a company that is willing to solve issues with gameplay in interesting ways still wont listen to a ranting bunch of introverts. Again I am brought dangerously close to having to explain what I see as strengths for this game, but I am not here to try and change your opinion about shit, jack.
At least when I read a thread like this I realise that I am not alone in my disdain and diappointment with how this community has degraded into a parody of what it once was.
Exactly why I would risk hypocrisy to make such statements on behalf of the community. Anyone with an objective opinion about the posters and content of this forum would view it as utter and extreme bullshit. I am well aware that the forum community is typically a bunch of dejected loners looking to find an outlet for the limited success they find in their real lives. If it makes me sound hypocritical to voice my opinion over that type of behavior that is a sacrifice I can make; but I warrant that there is a critical distinction between their posts and mine, one of which I am sure you are aware but choose not to mention for the better establishment of your own argument here in this thread. You do what you have to do.
As for speaking about fact, I am not trying to impose any. The facts are people on this forum do not only complain about aspects of the game, but jump to sensationalist conclusions and hurl every type of accusation upon the company, never ever showing a moment of self-reflection, instead choosing to pawn off any trouble or issue they have with the game as it being "utter crap and the worst game I have ever played".
If you have opinions about the parts of the game you hate or want changed, I totally understand that, I hate lots of crap. I don't want to go off on a tangent but for example I absolutely hate the raping of comic-culture into major hollywood motion pictures. I know what it is like to want your money back, or "know" that you could do better. But sadly, there is no end to this means. I can try and provide reliable and constructive criticism without dipping into my own biased opinions, and that is a thin line to tread. For that reason, I am not on some Micheal Bay-fan forum somewhere asking for my movie ticket admission to be given back to me through paypal. If your feedback is nothing but personal bullshit, save it for FB.
Humbly destroying my reputation and regard for hypocrisy, thank you.
There is a difference between me raising my middle finger to the self-absorbed types, and that said group trying to petition for refunds, et al. I know that you can understand the difference, so I am at a loss to why you didn't recognize it earlier.
Yeah, I got mad. I will be the first to admit that it is mean. But the absolute disregard for discretion, humility, or any other valorous condition of the developed human mind, I couldn't refrain from breaking free myself for a moment and giving the pharmacist a bitter taste. I am not a monster; you did this to me with your poison and hate. I really shouldn't have to sound like a little blizz-bitch on a site called diablofans, but that is what I come down to. I don't want to have to defend a game. It has flaws and finer points, to which we all should be free to discuss.
The out-right sensationalist moods that these other posts take, claiming every opinion not only as fact, but implying it as majority rule is simply maddening. To be fair I have the same vehement response to all behavior that seems overwhelming and ignorant; I must destroy it.
Anyway, like I said - I don't want to have to defend a game, and I'm not. The way that you type your opinions and compose your posts is unable to be applied to the broad structure of this world and it's culture. You can't honestly act that way in real life. Either you are immature and do not understand this fundamental aspect, or you are simply an internet troll using this outlet to vent your frustrations. Either way you disgust me.
The majority of you posting your complaints about D3 are complete assholes.
You have no common sense, you are anti-social, communication impaired jerks who have spent their lives without any semblance of proper behavior.
Maybe the majority of you are autistic, maybe you have aspergers; I don't know.
My point for making this thread is that I can't even browse the threads here without every other thread relating to how you are unhappy with the game and I am just plain sick and tired of it. This is exactly the type of entitled behavior which should not exist in the real world- for your own good that is.
You kids need to realize that people are going to spit in your burgers, pour sugar in your gas tank, and rob you blind -all throughout life. Get fucking over it.
I am further driven to think the majority of assholes on this forum are kids because you all have absolutely no scope when it comes to video games. You try and relate this game back to D2, or CoD, or some other bullshit, well, you obviously didn't have to put up with the 8bit generation of games. With the way you act about D3 I know you couldn't stand with me anyway.
Did you not have a Father? Is there no authoritarian presence in your life/development to keep you from this type of bullshit? I would beat your ass if I were your Father, I can tell you that RIGHT NOW.
TL;DR Fuck you Diablofans; a fucking misnomer if there ever was.
I didn't.
The main goal with the game has always been hunting for that one mighty fine upgrade you wanted, in D2 it was about hunting for uniques, in D3 it is all about farming for gold.
I'm not mad tho, I've got GW2.
I call it COD syndrome. Call of duty modern warfare series started out with everyone loving it, then mw2 came and people complained about the similarities and some differences, then black ops, and people complained that it was too similar, then mw3 came and people further complained that it was too similar.
The point is that even if a game is similar to its popular predecessor, people will complain about lack of changes.
TL:DR People will complain whether it was exactly like d2 or 100 percent different.
You good sir, is a fool.
I cant quite put it any other way, I wish I could but I really can't.
MW1 was a glorious game, with proper support it could have become a pretty decent esport contender.
However MW2 was a massive setback, they removed all the smaller tight knit communities that existed because they wanted to battle piracy, it failed by the way.
Black ops, while a step in the right direction, built on smaller maps in a more arcade like combat and as such was a huge let down for a lot of people.
MW3, well MW3 is nothing more than a glorified and very expensive mappack for MW2, calling it a game would be an insult to actual games.
Yet we're not here to discuss CoD.
I'm not mad about D3, I'm not particulary happy with how it has turned out, but I knew from the get go that it would never keep me hooked as good as Diablo 2 did.
If we aren't here to discuss CoD and GW2, why did you even spend all those paragraphs typing about them.
You sir, are an idiot. A complete moron. I can't quite put it any other way.
I have died so many times in this game that I must say that you guys can't be right.
Sometimes a mob doesn't heal for a very long time (1mil), sometimes they do it few seconds after I die. This seems very random and I want to know the cause behind it.
Wtb nerf to DH ... they got 3-4x time dmg than any other classes... this is just outrages. My wizz with full dps spec had only 50k with 2h 1.2k dmg despite a DH with same weapon and he has 150k...
int stacks resi, which makes you less squish. DH has dex, which increases dodge chance but one good slap and DH is toast. ALL DH are this way. there is no un-squishy DH.
I might be a crazy ascetic who believes that the nephalem shouldn't roll around with a former criminal, or pick-pocketing womanizer, or a one-thousand year old mummy.
Now that the general consensus from the critics has been delivered; "D3 has nothing to do with player skill it is just a gear check", prepare for my rejoinder.
The game in question, Diablo III, is very player friendly. It allows an at-will, completely free of charge, re-spec for all characters, at ANY time. In MMO-style games you have to pay with gold, and in some of these new MMO games you can pay real money. wat. In classically styled RPG games you can't re-spec at all. A player who has decided upon a skill or play style is then faced with the choice when reaching a difficult impasse in gameplay; alter the characters build, or farm better gear/gold for gear in AH.
The latter choice is a more time consuming and classic approaching to a game like diablo, in the way that this will stretch out your advancement of the difficulties much more than the former choice, which will devolve into the most simple of tactics- these skills that no build seems to be absent of.
I have read, and understood myself from gameplay, the seeming need for a build composed majorly of defensive abilities and relentless vit stacking across pretty much all classes.
Advancing your character's gear to enhance your playstyle, without compromising your chosen build is an amazing way to play Diablo III because, although you are not setting any world records for difficulty advancement, you are taking time and enjoying the game. If the ability to re-spec was changed, requiring a mass of gold, or even given a cool-down, the farming in this game would increase, better legendary items would get dropped eventually- people would stop complaining about underpowered legendary items because there would finally be some good stats rolled, and the player skill base would rise.
The cut-throat mentality that this game has fostered, a child of Blizzard, is similar to the vehemence of WoW subs and SC addicts. This competitive idealism is what is driving the homogeneity of character builds. With more care taken to farming, which in its essence is the search for gear rolled that will help advance your build EXACTLY, the AH economy would achieve better results, flooding the market with legendary and rare items that actually have good affixes. These higher level items would force the lower level market out, also eliminating the feeling of "AH advancement"- that is using the AH for massive jumps in DPS and AC.
You obviously have as much a mastery of gameplay mechanics and builds as you do understanding of the English language.
I understand wanting to vent some frustration you might have, that is really what the majority of the forums are, but this is too much.
There is nothing constructive here, there is nothing coherent here. This is just a joke.
