...and to those who think it's just a crybaby post, good for you for being able to enjoy bogus crap.
There are only 4 possibilities here.
a. You have found far better gear than I have in normal mode
b. You had it crafted
c. You didn't mind going to the auction house to buy what you couldn't find or craft
d. Or you enjoy hitting the same elite monster 100 times before it falls
A: "far better gear" is just perspective. Getting through normal and nightmare is nothing more than a matter of facerolling your keyboard. Even most of hell is fairly easy. As to getting far better gear, when so low in difficulty the range of stuff you can drop for yourself is so large that it is almost impossible to not drop your own upgrades fairly reliably. Did you clear everything or just power through quests? This is a Diablo game and it awards fully clearing every single area, not powering through the quests. If you fully cleared each area there is no way in hell you would be having a gear problem.
B: "you had it crafted"..... Are you kidding me kid? They put the blacksmith in the game IN ORDER FOR YOU TO USE HIM TO GET GEAR. Not so you could stare at him. Not using the Blacksmith is the same as not using the other vendors. Simply stupid.
C: "AH" Again, it is part of the fucking game. I am not sure what is so hard to understand about this. Are you really so pigheaded as to think they added the AH for no reason at all? Give me a break. Please, at least attempt to "think" before you continue posting.
D: HAHAHAHAHA. I have never had an issue killing elites until I hit Inferno. On any of my characters, even my tanky tank monk. You are playing a DH and you are complaining about hitting a NM elite a hundred times to kill it? Okay, this isn't even a matter of gear because you can walk up to the vendors and BUY a bow that will carry you through NM. This is a matter of you simply not utilizing the right gearing strategy or the right skills. This is not a game problem, this is a "you" problem.
Ya know, after reading all your drivel I have to say you are either one hugely successful troll of epic proportions. I mean you should be in the troll hall of fame or something. Either that or you really are just a terrible gamer that has absolutely no clue wtf he is doing. In the time you have spent spouting all the crybaby QQ in this thread you could have done something productive, like reading the DH forums looking for hints and tips so you can actually learn to play your class. But you would rather cry. GG.
You're supposed to use that BS to maintain equipment comparable for your level. Once you're in NM, you should also have significant gem upgrades which can make a world of difference as well for socketed weapons at that difficulty bracket.
Yep, that is theoretically correct. Of course, in practice, completely incorrect. You hit a wall in, say, Hell. What do you do?
1. Grind for hours/days/weeks to get better gear so that you can progress.
2. Spend a bunch of gold on the BS in hopes that one piece rolls well.
3. Go to the AH and spend 10k on an OP weapon. Proceed to annihilate everything in your path until you hit inferno.
#3 is the obvious choice, and #3 is what 99% of people will chose. So, in practice, that is the design, regardless of the developer's original intent. What you're "supposed to do" is irrelevant. Why would anyone waste time/gold when I have a sure-fire route to success via the AH?
I am in almost total agreement with you Big.
The BS provides ALL upgrades throughout hell difficulty. People see the option of using the AH, and they see better items on AH than they get via BS and they assume those are what they need. Hell difficulty can be played through completely off the BS. I have done it on most of my 60's while selling good drops for other classes on the AH.
Loot in this game is RNG. Eventually you will hit a soft cap on your gear where upgrades drop so rarely that they seem to never drop. Whether Bliz ups the quality of drops or not people will still bitch and complain about this. It is a lose lose situation. That being said, the item quality of drops in D2 were even shittier than in D3. How often in D2 did you get a rare drop? I mean seriously? 90% of the loot that dropped in D2 was blue. In my expansive time playing D2 I dropped more legendaries than useful rares. Every person I know or have played with will say the same thing in a heartbeat so long as they aren't wearing their rose tinted nostalgia glasses.
The only reason loot seems to be worse in D3 than in D2 is because D3's difficulty is infinitely higher than it was in D2. D2 was a game created for autistic blind monkeys when compared to D3. D3 having such a higher difficulty means that loot and gear actually matters. In D2 you could clear all of normal, nightmare, and a majority of hell "EASILY" while wearing the immortal Kings set. Immortal kings in D2 was a pre lvl 20 set. That speaks volumes about how terribly different D2 and D3 difficulty is.
Unfortunately some people are not intelligent enough to understand this and instead will make crybaby posts on unofficial forums.
Also, your comment about "supposed to do" hits the nail on the head. OP talks about "supposed to" or "should be able to" or whatever other nonsensical bullshit he has been spouting. Fact is that I did not receive a rulebook with the game telling me how I was supposed to do anything in the game. Retarded assumptions and ignorance IMO.
I am pretty sure this isn't Diablo 1 or 2. So how exactly does it makes sense that you should not have to do these things in Diablo 3 when it isn't the same game? People really need to remove their heads from their asses and realize THIS IS NOT A D2 CLONE.
So faithful fans who have bought, played, loved, the Diablo series for 14 years shouldn't expect game-play consistency between games is what you are saying? Really now?
You do realize that it was the faithful fans who made each subsequent game even possible. Lose your base of fans and kiss your game goodbye. Why do you think people eagerly anticipate the next version of the game they came to love?
You don't see similar gameplay from D1 and 2? Really? That's a joke right? I mean, you have a wife and kid so you can't possibly be that stupid to realize the basic gameplay is pretty much the EXACT same. The difference you are crying like a 12 year old girl about is the difficulty. You know why you could power through D1 and D2 using only shit that dropped for you? Because those games were tuned to the skill levels of 6 year olds. D1 and D2 were fun, I admit it, I spent about 8 years playing them, but as far as difficulty goes, it was completely and totally non existent. You could play through them only using your drops because the games were faceroll easy. Guess what kiddo, D3 isn't faceroll easy. Now what you are wearing and the skill choices you are making ACTUALLY MATTER. How exactly did you get a woman to have your child when you haven't got a shred of common sense in your head?
Diablo 3 is the 3rd game in the franchise. The team that worked on D3 is compeltely different from the team that worked on D2. That being said I think they did an ingenius job of updating an obviously out of date game. Unfortunately people like you are so stuck on the past all you can do is piss and moan about the differences to the point where you don't focus on the awesome updates.
-No more skill tree, you can now learn difference skills anytime you want, no more rerolling because you made a bad talent choice in your tree
-No more having to get people to help you swap items to different toons thanks to the shared stash that is also drastically increased in size
-No more having to find sneaky places to drop items in game to xfer them to other toons when no one was around to help you
-No more haunted trade channels for hours on end trying to find an item you want
-No more having to make "all4SoJ" games to get sojs because thats all anyone used as trade currency
-No more getting fucked over by trade scams
-No more getting stabbed in the back by scumbag in public games who bounce to town, flag, and kill you
-Updated graphics
-Destructible environment
-Nephalim Valor buff
But I am sure all of that is complete shit because poor you had to go to the AH to find an upgrade. Something that would not be a problem if you were actually good at the game. Also something that would not be an issue if you had the brains to sell good items you weren't using on the AH as well.
But whatever, keep acting like a manchild crying on unofficial forums about how you don't like a video game because its not the exact same as its prequel (rollseyes).
Also, I am a faithful fan that has played every Diablo game beginning to end on every difficulty. I ran an ebay store using D2 items, made more than 5k dollars doing it. As a faithful fan to the series I think Diablo 3 fixed everything that was shit about Diablo 1 and 2. But I guess my opinion as a faithful Diablo fan doesn't matter because it differs from yours and well, you can obviously cry louder than me.
Writing a long post on a game you spent a chunk of change on and put effort into and was disappointed with is fair play. Writing a long post to insult someone for expressing their views on that game just to posture yourself is childish.
What's it to you if I like or dislike the game that you need be asshole about it? I've never written a post that downs someone for their opinion on something they put effort or money into. You will not find one post from me that goes around telling people they are idiots for loving D3. The content of your post isn't worth replying to. Food for thought.
BTW I looked at my D3 receipt for the $320, add on a game guide and some D3 t-shirts. I spent $320 on D3, you're an ass for even questioning me on it.
Hmm, my reply went poof, I guess I didn't hit submit! So here we go again!
I am an ass for questioning you? You said you spent 320 dollars on THE GAME. Sorry buddy, but shirts and a guide (which you have obviously not used AT ALL) is not 'THE GAME". And why would you wast money on a "guide" for a book that went out of date as of the first patch, especially when you have this magical thing called the internet and "google".
As to the rest of your drivel, I really don't care what you say about me. You made a QQ post based on D3 not being a D2 clone. You lost any and all credibility right there as well as any modicum of respect you may have had as a complete stranger posting on the interwebz. If you have such a problem with it, uninstall it, oh wait, you're still playing it aren't you? So lets QQ on the interwebs about D3 but continue to play it like all the other QQers. You don't even make a single intelligent argument and when people try to talk to you you shoot them down as if your opinion is the only thing that matters then bitch at me about doing the same? Hypocrisy at its finest, though I am not at all surprised TBH.
As to writing a long post to insult you, if you took it as an insult you should grow thicker skin. The simple fact is that you can't handle the extremely mild difficulty increase between normal and nightmare. I would love to be a fly on the wall if you ever manage to get to hell, let alone inferno.
I am sorry that Blizzard decided to update the Diablo franchise and bring it up to par with the difficulty current gamers want. Although the only rewason I am sorry is because it has added your voice to the many QQers crying on these forums about it.
Before anyone tells me I need to go to the auction house to buy better swag, or to build my character a special way, or play in a group setting understand I didn’t really need to do that in Diablo or Diablo 2.
I am pretty sure this isn't Diablo 1 or 2. So how exactly does it makes sense that you should not have to do these things in Diablo 3 when it isn't the same game? People really need to remove their heads from their asses and realize THIS IS NOT A D2 CLONE.

Did I not tell you to think before you post? Like seriously.
If you knew as much about D3 as you claim to know about D2 you would never have felt a need to make this QQ rant thread FFS.

How exactly does that total up to 320 dollars?
