Hi Guys,
For the most part I only read around in these forums, but I'm in the mood to get a legitimate discussion going regarding some of the shortcomings of the game. It's been about a month since release now, so I think most of us have a pretty god feel for it. I know there are a million QQ threads everywhere, so I really really want to try and keep this intelligent and civil.
I want to make it clear that I love D3, and I only want the game to get even better. I've gotten my money's worth back 1000 fold. So I point at these flaws with a guilty heart.
In no particular order, I'm going to list some random thoughts, and I'd love for any of you who are willing to give proper input and opinions to drop a comment below. Here we go:
- CRIT BUILD - This has always kind of baffled me. I have no fundamental issue with going crit in any ARPG, but I've always found it strange that in D3, it's really not a build. it's THE source of damage. Not optional, or a path chosen, for any character or skill build. It's completely mandatory. Is it just me? With +Elemental damage and +skill damage, RoS seems to be slowly breaking away from it, but it's still very far from optional.
- LEGEN... DARIES! - Lots of heated debate over this one. Since the very beginning of D3 in fact. RoS is a major improvement, with some of the new leggies having some awesome build changing effects. The only issue I have now, is even though I'm glad the AH is gone, and I can see how trading can be abused, with the current system, there's a very realistic chance that some leggies may NEVER be found. I mean, I'm fine with the drop rate, I'm fine with their quality, hell, I'm not even talking about BiS ultimate power type leggies. I simply mean, RNG is RNG, and if I really want a specific piece, there's no way of knowing I can ever get it, even after a 1000 hours. Sure, there might be a lot of math involved in your actual chances, but realistically speaking, the RNG gods may never give you that cindercoat. I don't mind building up very slowly towards something. I just like to know that hundreds of hours should get me where I want to be. The current system has no guarantees. It's better than vanilla D3, but it has rome for improvement.
- DYES, TONS OF DYES - Not much to say here. I love the new Transmog options, but please oh please, remove dyes from the game and instead add a color palette to the enchantress's transmogrify window. I get quite giddy about making my characters look cool and tweaking their appearance to suit their builds. All those little bottles are just a pain in the behind at the moment.
- I MISS THE AH. LOL NO, JUST A PART OF IT - All I really want back from the AH days is that interface where I can access the inventory of all my characters without entering a game. I play all the classes (Although <3 DH and Monk) bt it's a pain to get those forgotten souls from my wizard when I'm in a game with my dh. Just a suggestion, I guess.
- SPLIT FARM YAY - Look there's no denying that the rewards make it awesome. But It's totally un-awesome if I'm in the mood to solo farm. I'm not sure what needs to be done, but somewhere a middle ground needs to be found. Sometimes I like soloing, sometimes I like playing with my friends. I just really believe that in no case should the one option be insanely more rewarding than the other.
Like I said, criticisms of a game I truly do love. Though love, I guess. I'll add more as they come to mind. Please do comment. Thanks!

I also don't care about PvP one bit. And so do other members in this forums. Flame the blog all you want, as that would be justified. You didn't get something you really wanted on time so you're free to express your mind. But don't flame other members or pull arguments out of your ass, because your opinion is not "all people's opinion".
edit: See how this guy below did it? Amazing.

I don't care about PvP, but this blog was quite bad. After 7 months of hyping some form of PvP, they just gave up and went back to the basic formula... duels.
It feels like they want to give a cookie to the PvP crowd so they won't yell about its lacking anymore.... I would be disappointed too if i wanted what they promised months ago....
Meh.... it's a low blow in my opinion, really low.
Yeah that was pulling an argument out of my ass? Here I'll edit my original post for every person who doesn't give a rats ass about PVP to waste my time to make sure you guys don't get butt-hurt if you don't care about PVP. Of course not everybody cares, and I stated it as a generalization and it should have been taken as such from the start.
PvP was a big part of the game in D2 and it should have equal footing in D3 otherwise why even bother min maxing your character at all (yes you can save yourself 3 minutes clearing act 3..wooo!)
If they blew 7 months on a PVP idea that their sample test group thought was bad, what else do you really think their going to be cranking out for PvE? I hope you realize that PvP was supposed to be the last big plunge before the expansion, so if you think their going to release a huge new PvE content package or anything worth while before the expansion that their already working on to milk more money out of everybody..I'm sorry but you're wrong. They've proven they state ideas for the release then cram them into expansions to get the all mighty dollar. -

And I laughed HARD on "But in continuing to develop this mode, playtest it, and put it in front of other developers within the company, we've found that it falls short of our expectations for a high-quality Blizzard experience."
WAIT WHAT!!??? Where were them when ALL THE REST of Diablo 3 was to be tested? -
