    posted a message on How do you like your inferno?
    The D3 developers want the game to be fast paced, so I doubt you'll see any regular monsters that will take any significant amount of time to defeat. And I like it better this way. I don't want to be frustrated when I play. However, I don't mind that it requires some skill to get through.
    I'll be playing HC, so I'd like to see Inferno be harder than Hell without being so hard that avoiding death is unlikely when I play by myself. I also hope it's easy enough that a relatively wide range of builds are viable if played well, and not just the few strongest ones.

    People who eat with their mouth open while breathing heavily and even moaning a little. It's even worse if they also slurp their drinks. I consider myself not easily annoyed, but that almost makes me want to leave the room.

    posted a message on D3 vs Skyrim 4 game of the year
    I know I will enjoy Skyrim so so much. But I'm pretty sure I'll like Diablo 3 even more.

    With that said, no other game comes even remotely close to those two on my list of most anticipated games.

    posted a message on Normal, Nightmare, Hell and INFERNO
    As long as they stick to what they've said earlier about being able to complete everything solo, I'm all for a fourth difficulty. When they start making things impossible for one person to complete, it isn't an incentive for me to play coop with others. It's more of an incentive to stop playing. And it's the only thing I can think of that could ruin my enjoyment of the game.

    As for the name Inferno, I think it's fine.

    posted a message on Class Choice for beating..
    From my experience, a trap assassin is one of the safest classes to play, and she's pretty fun too, if you like her play style.
    She gets a lot of health from vitality, high resistances and damage reduction from Fade, and can also deal with immunities with a combination of Fire Blast and Lightning Sentry/Death Sentry. The damage output of Fire Blast is pretty nice considering it's a level 1 skill. I had it at 3k-4k last time I played that build. The sentries were at 1-7k each (max 5 traps at a time). I had some decent gear at the time, so the damage won't be that high on your first run-through of hell, but you'll still manage.
    The Shadow Master is a pretty nice tank as well, and Mind Blast is fantastic for stunning large crowds, and even converting enemies for a short duration, giving you some temporary tanks while you're dealing with particularly dangerous groups of enemies.
    Cloak of Shadows can also make monsters blind for a short period, which is nice when fighting ranged attackers with high damage.

    I can't really say if she's more fun than other builds, but she's definitely an option. She is pretty good for MFing.

    posted a message on What OS do you use?
    I've been using Windows Vista for 4 years now, and it has treated me just fine, despite what you may think. ;) My laptop has Windows 7, and I like that one as well. I've been using Windows since Windows 95 (I also messed around with 3.1 at some point) so I'm familiar enough with it that I can overcome the problems that appear sometimes. So yeah, I don't think Windows is as bad as some people claim it to be.

    posted a message on Do you keep your games or sell trade them off?
    I always keep the games I buy. Most of them are on Steam, so I don't really have a choice. However, I'm also opposed to how the used game market works, and I don't want to contribute to it. Especially the aggressively promoted trade-in deals Gamestop and other similar stores offer, where they pocket all the money from the resale (often more than they get form new game sales, which is pretty messed up), and are basically screwing over both their customers and the developers, laughing all the way to the bank.
    This, in turn, makes some publishers push the developers to hold back content from the initial release of the game for future DLC or the annoying DLC released within the first week. It makes the process of buying a full game more convoluted than it needs to be.

    Quote from Winged

    No stores, items should be acquired through gameplay, and gameplay only.
    This, basically.

    posted a message on now playing - Torchlight II
    Quote from Eroon

    I enjoyed torchlight 1, but as they say, it really missed multiplayer, so this will properly be worth playing until D3, but with that said, its pretty much just a Diablo ripoff with its own style

    "each person gets their own loot"

    But didn't he used to be Blizzard north employ?

    And what is it with the glitch around the char every 5 sec

    To be completely fair, Hellgate: London had that loot distribution mechanic even before Diablo 3 was announced. And as you may know, several of the guys at Runic Games worked at Flagship Studios, so one could argue that Blizzard borrowed this mechanic from them, and not the other way around. :)

    Edit: Mythos had the same mechanic, I believe. I guess that's a better example, given its direct connection with the guys at Runic Games.

    The art book is easily the thing I want the most. I love their art books.

    posted a message on Your Preferable Rune Effects
    I voted skill playstyle because changing a skill's function looks cool, but it's difficult to say which one I'll be using the most. It depends on whether or not I find a skill I like using without modifying how it works.

    I think I'll end up using a variety of runes. For instance, if I find equipment that boosts a certain type of elemental damage, I'd go with a rune that changes the skill to that element, if possible. Or if a resource managing rune would let me use a skill without any downtime, I could see myself using that.

    I tend to prefer wallpapers without massive logos on them, so these were sort of downgraded versions of wallpapers I've been using before. I would have loved to see some new art instead. Oh well.

    posted a message on Favorite Diablo Memories
    Finding The Grandfather was pretty sweet. Not because it's such a great weapon (it was pretty awful actually, with its measly 151% ED), but rather because it's been there since the first Diablo game, so it was sort of an "antique". And none of my friends have ever had it drop for them, so I could rub it in their faces a little bit.

    Finding out that the small charms I had found, which seemed sort of useless to me at the time, were worth several high runes was also fun. As a result, I was able to create an Enigma, a Heart of the Oak, an Infinity and a Fortitude, which was pretty sweet.

    I found a Lo rune once, and created a new game in order to see what people would offer for it. It was a pretty popular rune at the time, and a whole bunch of (seemingly rich) people filled the game in five seconds flat. "Cool," I though. Two seconds later Diablo walked the Earth, and everyone bolted out of town, killed him, took the Annihilus I could have gotten, and then left. "Not cool" was my next thought.
    So getting a Lo rune in one game, and having Diablo walk the earth in the next, I can't really complain about my luck. But the former kind of ruined the latter.

    I agree. Either that or Diablo fan art. Maybe both. Combined.
