I alrdy quit playing Diablo 3 after completing hell mode on HC while loosing three lvl 30-49 and five lvl 50-60 characters in the process. I've also been noticing alot of people getting bored of Diablo 3 (from forums, firends, and in-game). i wonder why Diablo 3 is becaming easily boring compared to Diablo 2 (played for six years). Without getting into detail, Diablo 3 is a forgettable boring game in my opinion.

What makes you feel why Diablo 3 is still fun to play though out inferno, or are you alrdy tired of killing Diablo again an again, or are you bored but havent given up hunting for more loot to prepare yourself for the next upcoming systems/expansions? (pvp)


>>Please vote honestly if your bored - YES or NO, regardless if your still playing or not<<

Already stopped playing.

Yes, Diablo 3 is a soild good game that has alot of sense for its gameplay. Although, all of Diablo 3 design is ment for a newer generation who havent experience the Diablo universe. Therefore, Diablo 3 is a forgettble boring game to someone like myself, a diablo veteran.


P.S.- My #1 reason for playing D2 was the Hardcore PvP/PKing. Knowing it'll be drastically different from D2, kills the exciement

I'm currently playing only around once a week. The main thing that breaks the game for me is the necessity to use the AH in order to progress. I played a DH as my first char, and have another 2 chars at 60. Sad thing is that, apart from the DH, all the gear I have in those 3 chars I got on the AH. It just doesn't pay off playing the game for drops, and that's what makes me sad. I find myself "playing the AH" instead of kililng some random bad guy :S. Nonetheless this game was well worth the money and I'll be playing more or less consistently.

Get bored, don't play for a month, then back to the killing spree for another month At the moment I'm on a "bored phase" and will probably stay there until the PvP patch brings some new stuff.

Stopped playing 2 weeks after release and started back again two weeks ago. I don't know but I'm having fun again. Can't really put my finger on it. Hopefully it will last until some improvements are made.

should add "are you burnt out" option, I voted no but then again I only have 110 hours on my "main".

When did you play those 6 years, the beginning or later half? The only reason I played D2 for as long as I did is being forced to make new chars to try out a new build. D2 vanilla was forgettable too but hey we all have our own perspectives.

ah.. I predicted this would happen a month and half ago. Just came back to check the forums to see whats up. And all you fanboys actually thought that the patches would fix the game? There needs to be an act of God to fix the game now, I'm talking a massive patch, that also removes the RMAH AT THE LEAST, then it is a start. Right now it's just empty farts from blizzard.

Is it boring? No.

Do I still play it regularly? No. I'm burnt out, even though I've "only" put in around 120 hours. Also, that damn steam sale.

Anyway, I knew this would happen based off of my experience with D2. I'd play a bunch for a few weeks, and then drift off for 6-9 months, then play again.

no pvp = fail

Nope, not boring, but I take gaming at a casual pace and don't have the time or energy to burn in 100 hours a week like some people.

Sadly. I had to vote yes.

voted yes, even though i probably still put 20 - 30 hrs a week into it. Some little piece of me believes this game will succeed, eventually. But yeah it is boring, you can only 'unwrap so many gifts' before you start feeling like Santa clause is deliberately fucking with you, and your excitement turns to annoyance and boredom..

I got bored of Diablo 3 a while ago. I'm not necessarily saying the game is bad, though. And I find it difficult to compare to Diablo 2's fun-ness for couple reasons.
1) The ever-present nostalgia factor. Sequels rarely ever surpass their predecessors, and nostalgia is a big factor for that. When I played Diablo 2, I was a kid. Now, I'm an adult, and I just don't get the same enjoyment out of games than I did back then. It's not Diablo 3's fault, it's mine.
2) The choices of games then compared to now. Nowadays, you have tons of blockbusters to compare to D3. I've seen lots of Skyrim comparisons (even though they're vastly different games), GW2 comparisons (I have yet to play it but I enjoyed GW), LoL and other MOBA comparisons, and there's a ton of other games that take away from the focus Diablo 3 can get (if I'm playing Diablo 3 at the end of September, I will uninstall immediately for Borderlands 2).

Yes, the removal of having to create new characters to try new builds reduced the replayability of the game. Maybe I would still be playing if respecs were out, but I probably wouldn't enjoy having to plan things out and respec if I made a single mistake.

Played within those six years in and out, more towards launch. My brothers and I loved PKing players in Hardcore mode for ears and corpse loot.

Have to agree with this wholeheartedly. I played D2 single player contentedly for almost a solid year, just collecting items, using atma to horde the stuff (still have my stash files too.. hrm). I got miserably bored when I starting using an editor just to move skill points around to test new builds. took another month or so but Totally burnt out. D3 has claimed about 500hrs of my life since release morning, and eh, 70mil (and $30) in the bank and I don't even care since it'll buy maybe one good upgrade or two. Now the only things left in my life are school and my girl. :\

It's not boring but I don't feel the urge to play it as often for as long as I did the first few weeks. Now I get on and farm a little, once or twice I'll do some progression through Act 3. I don't really find it boring, though.

what killed diablo 3 for me was killing diablo on inferno and him being easier then act 3/4 was. was farming for better gear on my monk but that got old quick when i had already beat inferno. started a hardcore monk and been vendor farming to find things to sell on the ah to make some gold to buy gear for that toon. but none the less over all yes the game has gotten boring, my brother and most my friends i played with have already quit
