D3 was intentionally designed as a console hit-it-and-quit-it style game that just happened to have a PC port and multiplayer options. Just accept it as a 2012 game that nobody plays anymore because it has been consumed already just like most other games.
Sorry you got those two mixed up in terms of order. It's a PC game that so happened to get a Console port randomly for no reason other then "we could"
Hello, I'm a realtively new connasieur to the hardcore scene, as I've generally not had an interest in the idea of losing my character, but a streamer won my alliegeance this season, and suprisingly, I enjoyed the thrill and have since come over to the dark side.
That being said, early this morning (7:40 AMish my time) there was some lag on blizzard's side, and when the game caught up, I had died to a white mob (Mallet Lord)
I shouldn't of died in the scenario I was in, I had alot of toughness going on, it was torment 4, something I was easily able to do without dipping below 75% health, and the only thing on my screen was a champion that did no damage to me, and a mallet lord. I died to the mallet lord in the time it took for the lag to catch up. I had together as one on my barbarian going, so damage was split.
The root of my question is this; as this death wasn't my fault, what are the odds of a restore? I'm not overly banking on it, but I'm curious if theres a chance, as I had some really nice items, and had found a Ramaladni's gift
Many unique builds seem to work differently but they are too few in number. Mana allows your character to be more open ended in how he/she fights.
You... Understand that right there, is literally diversity, right? Taking away their UNIQUE AND DIVERSE resource system only serves to homogonize them. A Barbarian having full rage for no explained reason at the start of every fight doesn't make sense, when a Barbarian lives to fight. They should generate their 'fury' or will to fight, by fighting. A monk is a zen fighter who finds their center, and knows many different ways to kick ass. A wizard -always- has to be carefull when to fling simple spells, or go all out. And so forth.
Having mana for all, while nostalgic to the earlier games, would just backstab what you want. It would force all to share from the same pool. And if this is about lore, know that they went back and retconned and redid ALOT of things to make it literally make sense with the flowing canon, that otherwise, the canon in the game was a mess. The up to date canon is in the book of Cain.
I'm not sure how well this will be regarded here, I imagine mixed feelings perhaps, let me open this with a bit of a intro to who I am.
I think myself as the kind of person who represents the 'every gamer'. The general public, while I know that this is generally impossible, just due to the broad spectrum of "what is a gamer", I'd like to think a safe medium is about. I've been playing games for as long as anyone else, which is to say, since I was a child. I'm no novice when it comes to it.
I prefer to play my games at a nice pace, which is to say, at a rate where I am having fun, and getting the maximum enjoyment out of things.
This is where the main subject of the thread starts. As I said, I play my games at a pace in which I have fun, and I've tried the whole "Ooooh you got to go fast and do this small quick run or you are doing it inefficiently!" sort of thing, just to see how it faired up, and how I liked it. It started off with keep runs, which I have to say, I like those. It's three levels in my favorite act, and it's well timed enough to keep my interest. I made my own little addition by going to the forward barracks just outside Bastion's keep, because it's basicly the same thing. I later tried the whole Wife runs debacle, but that was short lived, I outgrew it even before it got nerfed. Later my brother in law said he found what was called the most efficient, best runs ever. He took me into act 3, which I was excited about, then we went into the core of arreat, and just ran that one small place, opening all the chests, vessels, and bones, ignoring most of the whites, doing only the easy elites/champs, and then repeating.
Way to ruin my favorite act. He then showed me somehow an even more boring act, which is the first quest you get in the game, which is to kill those Wretched Mothers.
I'm going to say this. I understand this is a game where you find your own enjoyment, and this is largely going to sound like a complain thread, but perhaps this can also adress a possible problem.
Is this kind of mindset unhealthy for the game's longevity? Is finding a small, quick 2-3 minute run really good? Why is it people demand such quick run throughs, when the point of a game should be in it's longevity. Sure you might acrue EXP much more with your COTA runs, or your splt bounty things. But wheres the genuine fun in that? If you take time in the game, you would forge much more meaningful experiences with the game, would you not? What would you rather remember? That time you got 50 paragon levels doing the same boring 2 minute run that you can quote to the letter, or that time where you and your best friend found an amazing legendary from one of those suiciders that also murdered you? I'd much rather the second, because forging funny memories is what a game should bring. It should -not- feel like a second job that you don't even get payed for, no matter how good you get at it.
What do you guys think? Is a 'go go go' attitude unhealthy for D3 in the long run? Or should this be something that shifts to the upcoming Ladder mode?(Sorry if the polls are biased)
Not meaning to be a jerk or anything, but rather intended this to be constructive... You should take a few minutes to do 'tongue exercise' in which you just say gibberish that makes your tongue work, to help relax yourself... I was watching the vid you linked, and the one thing that kept me from really listening was all your word fillers, your ums and your uhs... It's a small complaint, but small things do add up, it's a good guide none the less, but you state you stream as well, so that's going to be a hinderance to entertaining the audience, perhaps you are nervous?

Every time your screen flashes red, it's like you have a heart attack, you just don't get that from softcore
