And yeah, 200+ hours on an action rpg to level up one character really isn't very time consuming, right? Not even going to mention the need to play only the OP builds, farm efficiently and have enough AH knowledge and in-game gold to build the set to farm that. I mean, every casual out there can do that.
People really need to stop thinking of Diablo as the new Blizzard MMORPG. It isn't.
Seriously, it just goes to show the people still working on D3 have no clue what they are doing.
Besides still discussing no brainers they are doing things that make no sense.
1.)Even though he loves PvP, Travis hopes Diablo 3 doesn't go down the eSport road, because when you focus on that type of PvP content you’ll have diminished results in the PvE part. Diablo 3 is meant to be a PvE game.
WRONG. If you love PVP you would simply go down the e SPORT road and balance the PVP aspect differently then PVM. They clearly have the wrong people for the job. Also the statement of what Diablo is supposed to be is wrong.
2.)There are talks about making Paragon levels account-wide, so that you don't feel like you're losing experience while playing your Paragon 100 character. Also potentially adding customization like stat allocation to it
Grrrreaat. Cater to more "now now now" kiddies.. Because you know how well that works so far for D3.
OK, then we need another leveling system please.. Since you seem to have forgot the point of the Paragon system that was placed in the game in the 1st place.
Hey, remember when D3 only went up to lvl 60 and felt pointless.... Good job with that.
3.) Josh tries to play a variety of games besides Diablo 3, like other ARPGs and even some Call of Duty in his spare time.
I think the developers didn't mean to hand out the candy bars in the first place either, judging from what they said recently (of how Archon and WotB wasn't supposed to be permanent abilities) and how CMWW and Archon are insanely more powerful than everything else for the Wizard.
Im not sure they meant for alot of things to happen how it did. It seems if they just kept spinning the wheel until they ran out of time and shipped what they had.
They have a huge plate on their table right now and barely seem to be touching it.
Team Death match was promised and then swept under the rug. People are still waiting for news about this promised 'later' feature. The current pvp in D3 is worse than D2 and feels like no effort or thought was even put into it. Are they even thinking about this anymore? Or is this still later?
Then theres the skills that need tweaking. This isn't very complicated, yet anything done is at a snails pace.. Are they ever just going to do something instead of constantly saying they acknowledge something and discuss it?
And then last is the itemization. At this point, due to the lack of work on TDM, PVP and SKILLS im just going to think this is another false promise/to keep hope alive.. Or they might squeeze it out right before expansion to peak more interest in the game to maybe boost sales.
Im not sure, but like I've said. They should just hire some fans to do the work for them.. For free. I know they would do it and they would probably get things done sooner than later
From what I've heard, the D3 team is focusing on the expansion and prepare for Blizzcon rather than new content patches which make business sense at least. If they keep pouring resources on D3 patches then expansion could never be done. Also expansion need to add something new to the game, would it worth it if they implement big changes then turn it upside down a few months later because of the expansion?
Its seems like they are just stringing people along in hopes they buy the xpac.. Some people are still waiting for TDM, some are still waiting for skills to be improved. Maybe they should hire fans to work for free.
3. "Too slow OR someone else jumps ahead". Ok so sometimes I slow my self down way too much and the occasional person will speak up to get back with the group. Typically though it's because they are missing whole packs of mobs and champions/elites along the way. Of course someone always has to complaining about me killing them before they get there.
Its funny that you made a post about bad apples and then perfectly describe yourself as one.
You do know the point of playing with others is to actually play with others right?
There is no toooo fast or tooo slow. You simply move with the group and usualy you should only follow the game maker.
Its not hard to understand really.
I mean..just because i can run faster then everyone and kill faster then everyone doesn't mean i should. Relax, have fun...Thats they key to playing with others.
The entire group should always be about a screen away. If they are not then its you who is the bad apple because you are not longer part of a group. You are now soloing a co-op game. No one cares if you can kill things if they aren't around. And no one wants to play catch up. Which is why i always slow down and use weaker skills.
When its time to play clean up.. Let it rip. But no one likes a solo player with ASAP attitude in co-op.
