5 days in a row at the top of "Popular Topics" in US (2nd spot now)
5 days in a row at the top of "Popular Topics" in EU (and still at the top)
Thanks guys for the support!
This repaid me and Saya for all the hard work we've done!
Thanks again everyone
We made some noise, certainly it was heard.
I am a bit irritated at the misnomer being passed around by some in the thread, stating that such ideas cannot come to pass with such imbalance between classes.
1) An ARPG of this nature doesn't require exacting balance between classes.
2) Your ideas are for PvPvE, not straight up PvP.
3) The best way for devs to tweak balance for something like this would be to implement and balance on the fly, addressing egregious issues as they arise.
I played Guild Wars (1) for over 7 years, a PvP centric MMO, and it never achieved any semblance of balance. There were always certain classes that stood out as strong or weak, certain builds that beat all others or were non-viable.
At the end of the day, we would all be best served, concerning longevity of (re)playability, to have something engaging to do other than grind loot all the time. As Amaro said above, this will never truly feel like Diablo without PvP, or at least some semblance thereof.
Congratulations on your idea taking root the way it did. I felt a bit like a jerk going over your head and making a seperate thread @Bnet about it, but your hard work deserved notice, and notice it got.
I dont want to discredit your work because you obviously but a lot of time and effort into this but Athene made a video about this kind of idea almost a year ago.
There's something to be said for providing the players with the optics required to visualize how something like this would be implemented. Loosely making mention of such ideas is one thing, to flesh them out visually and allow players a look at the proposed ideas is another.
The thread @ Bnet took off like a rocket. It has been the highest rated, most "popular" thread for 2 days now, and still at the top of the page. The avalanche of positive votes from dozens of players says much.
Though I helped Edriel out in creating the thread, I won't be able to participate in bumping it any more. I got myself temp banned for making a joke about killing hookers in another thread.
I did a search and missed Edriel's thread @Bnet. I made my own, redirecting people to this thread here @ Dfans.
Sorry for not seeing your thread, Edriel. The thread I put up has gotten quite a bit of views and positive responses. I would implore people to go HERE and post, "like" the OP and provide feedback. Sadly, Edriel's original thread there didn't get many views. I suppose because it had the word "suggestion" in the thread title. After 2 1/2 years, people are sick of the halfwit suggestions and poorly thought out, poorly constructed presentations of random player ideas. People likely just skipped over it and didn't bother.
This presentation by Edriel is very much worthy of note, and should be seen.
Though I'm not crazy about everything Edriel presented, the basic framework of his suggestions are exactly what D3 needs to have for long term playability for many players.
Hope this was OK with you, Edriel. Thanks for the effort. You are a valuable commodity to the fanbase and your efforts should be appreciated
