Quote from Kisho
450+ hours huh? Are you sure you're not just, I dunno... Bored of the game after spending most of the past couple months on it? With a release date of May 15th, that means there has been 66 days between the release of D3 and now.
66 * 24 = 1584 hours total
Minus 8 * 66 = 528 hours for sleep, gives us 1584 - 528 = 1056
1056 - 450 = 606
450 hours spent on the game, 606 not... I hate to break it to you, but you've spent almost half of your waking hours on D3 since release. I'm pretty sure anyone would call that a resounding success.
Surely if the game was so horrible, you'd have stopped playing about 400 hours ago maybe? Then your argument wouldn't seem so ridiculously flawed.
Don't use math on trolls. You'll just confuse them.

Sometimes, its just better to be the bigger man and end the convo/argument because continuing will not yield you and the rest of the readers anything that hasn't been already discussed somewhere else. Sometimes you may be right - sometimes wrong but somethimes you just have to look past it and just move on. Some people's opinions are like dogma, and you will never change the way they fell.

Player philosophy: Complain and whine about various parts of the game and demand a change; complain and whine after changes have been made. Buy the expansion and continue to play the game for years.
Not trolling you, just thought we'd explore both sides to the story

I thought this would be more of a general discussion because its bug/glitch related. Also, Bliz Devs don’t usually check anything other than General Discussion.

Two changes I would like to see made to Demon Hunter’s ferret companion.

1) Players complaining about D3 were mostly in there teens when they played D2. Somehow they are confused as to why in the hell D3 "seems less fun" than D2. YOU GREW OUT OF GAMES.
2) Diablo 2 did not have amazing endgame, amazing items, lvl cap of 99, etc 2months after launch. Diablo 2 got and expansion and many years under its belt over D3 (not saying D3 is bad).
3) Current technology allowed a LOT of problems to be fixed almost instantly; D2 still had many bugs long into its life.
4) D2 seemed "easier" because it only had 3 difficulty levels. If D3 shipped with Hell as its max difficulty, it would seem just as "easy" as D2. Then people would be complaining about hitting the "brick wall" that is Inferno. Inferno adds a whole new "stuff to do endgame" that wasnt designed to be completed in 1-2 hours. Funny how people complain about not enough endgame while complaining about inferno being too hard while at the same time complaining about how D2 was easier... just wow, but I digress.
5) D3 added a lot more ways to trade. Yes selling and item for 500k gold and then buying that item you needed for 500k gold is much like trading that first item you had for the item that you need; it just took minutes instead of days.
Just from the top of my head. Enjoy

Diablo was never about 1 class/build fits all. Diablo was never about stacking a single attribute or looking for that "end game" item where everyone will eventually be wearing the exact same thing. Diablo has always been a reap-what-you-sow game and ultimately it all comes down to either time or luck. 1.0.3 balanced the game. That's right, no more belial power leveling, goblin hunting, botting, and stacking. "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!" If it wasn't for this patch, I would still be running a glass cannon DH with 12k HP, stacking everything into DEX and Atack Speed. If I were stubborn I would have probably quit as well, but we are humans. Humans learn to adapt to challenges, work around obsticles. If we didn't have that in our genes we would have died along with the dinosaurs.
Fellow gamers, open your eyes throw away your stubborness. Stop stacking attack speed (ridiculously over priced) and single attributes. This is not a one build game, play around with the thousands of possible combination of builds and gears available. Read the class forums and try out other peoples suggestions. ADAPT. Find your own builds to post! THIS is the fun that Diablo was designed upon.
I for one, am no longer "kiting" packs with the fear that even a droplet of elite sweat could kill my frail glass canon DH. Instead, I can now stand and tank them. Now there are much more possibilities to try.
Have fun
