Well, I play some minutes every 3 or 4 days. My record is something close to 40. After that I ask myself why I still play, the answer is simple, I like the fast paced action and stuff blowing up everywhere.
The everything else factor is what stops the experience from passing the 40 mins wall of wisdom.

Example: how can the low-budget Path of Exile be able to directly compete against Diablo 3?
Tbh i watched some PoE videos and came to conclusion that it sucks... Then open beta came and i downloaded it for shits and giggles becouse i've been tired of 1-61 paragon farm on Wiz (after i got bored with monk during 1-54 paragon heh). And i can't say how embarassed i'm now judging game based on random dude stream - it has more depth then D3, it has character development that you've to plan out, it has insanely well though currency system based on craft system.
Tbh PoE&D3 simply shows that money can't make game great on their own. Also Blizz somehow fucked up D3 right from the start. D3 inferno was insanely hard before first nerf and just hard before 2d and it's still hard and threatening on higher MPs so i wouldn't call D3 easy game, becouse it's not unless you want it to be. But... how the hell Blizz came up with fucked up lvl progression and completly brainless skill system? It completly kills off character development - 10 hrs of play and you have access to everything and can try every build, throw 50-100 euro into RMAH and you tried a every build at quite high specs (high enough to cope the feel).
20 hrs after you started you saw everything, tried everything (if you wanted), choosen what you're going to run and it's time to dive into hundreds upon hundreds hrs of runing A3 for paragon expirience that really doesn't add anything to your character. Imo D3 is the worst game crafted by Blizzard up to date and they aren't adding enough of new content to make game better and more interesting. -

Irrational posted a message on Blizzard is Unaware of Diablo 3's Downfall...I agree with this guy. I'm a die hard Diablo fan, but Blizzard's demise started with the success with WoW. Ever since WoW was released they tried to mimic every game after it. Diablo 3 isn't a Diablo game.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion -

Alcovitch posted a message on The Nephalem AltarMy 2 cents is this:Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
I don't like the idea of changing the rules of the game in different difficulties. There's no need for this. It sounds disjointed and sloppy.
I'm not a big fan of the altars either. The more elegant solution is simply to create a rule where you cannot swap skills while in combat. Problem solved. You can swap anywhere you like, but you can't do so while you are locked in combat. That way you can't run around with the skill pane open all the time or hot swap with macro keyboards.
I understand that the game does't have any hooks for in or out of combat, but I don't understand why this wasn't programmed in from the start. I'd prefer if they'd take the time to code this in then the alters peppered everywhere in the game. -

StarwishSonata posted a message on Beta Key Contest #4It all started when our over-heralded star, Binkles the Frog, woke up in a secret vineyard. It was the tenth time it had happened. Feeling excessively worried, Binkles the Frog slapped a dangerous oil-soaked rag, thinking it would make him feel better (but as usual, it did not). Duly ecstatic about the looming crises, he realized that his beloved potion was missing! Immediately he called his fundamentalist, guilt-dispensing friend, Toxin the Witch Doctor. Binkles the Frog had known Toxin the Witch Doctor for (plus or minus) 1.2 billion years, the majority of which were enticing ones. Toxin the Witch Doctor was unique. He was ingenious though sometimes a little... stupid. Binkles the Frog called him anyway, for the situation was urgent.Posted in: News & Announcements
Toxin the Witch Doctor picked up to a very nervous Binkles the Frog. Toxin the Witch Doctor calmly assured him that most 3-legged wallabies grimace before mating, yet long-haired sea monkeys usually scandalously grimace *after* mating. He had no idea what that meant; he was only concerned with distracting Binkles the Frog. Why was Toxin the Witch Doctor trying to distract Binkles the Frog? Because he had snuck out from Binkles the Frog's with the potion only eight days prior. It was a eccentric little potion... how could he resist?
It didn't take long before Binkles the Frog got back to the subject at hand: his potion. Toxin the Witch Doctor grimaced. Relunctantly, Toxin the Witch Doctor invited him over, assuring him they'd find the potion. Binkles the Frog grabbed his George Foreman grill and disembarked immediately. After hanging up the phone, Toxin the Witch Doctor realized that he was in trouble. He had to find a place to hide the potion and he had to do it aimlessly. He figured that if Binkles the Frog took the best-in-its-so-called-'class' sedan, he had take at least ten minutes before Binkles the Frog would get there. But if he took the teleporter? Then Toxin the Witch Doctor would be excessively screwed.
Before he could come up with any reasonable ideas, Toxin the Witch Doctor was interrupted by six clueless spiders that were lured by his potion. Toxin the Witch Doctor belched; 'Not again', he thought. Feeling stunned, he aggressively reached for his wolverine and fearlessly slapped every last one of them. Apparently this was an adequate deterrent--the discouraged critters began to scurry back toward the secret vineyard, squealing with discontent. He exhaled with relief. That's when he heard the teleporter rolling up. It was Binkles the Frog.
----o0o----
As he pulled up, he felt a sense of urgency. He had had to make an unscheduled stop at Jim's House of Wings to pick up a 12-pack of dangerous oil-soaked rags, so he knew he was running late. With a quick leap, Binkles the Frog was out of the teleporter and went exotically jaunting toward Toxin the Witch Doctor's front door. Meanwhile inside, Toxin the Witch Doctor was panicking. Not thinking, he tossed the potion into a box of gerbils and then slid the box behind his hippopotamus. Toxin the Witch Doctor was stunned but at least the potion was concealed. The doorbell rang.
'Come in,' Toxin the Witch Doctor explosively purred. With a heroic push, Binkles the Frog opened the door. 'Sorry for being late, but I was being chased by some insensitive spite-toting jerk in a deliciously practical 4-door,' he lied. 'It's fine,' Toxin the Witch Doctor assured him. Binkles the Frog took a seat not remotely close to where Toxin the Witch Doctor had hidden the potion. Toxin the Witch Doctor shuddered trying unsuccessfully to hide his nervousness. 'Uhh, can I get you anything?' he blurted. But Binkles the Frog was distracted. Before the all-seeing eyes of a perpetually displeased diety, Toxin the Witch Doctor noticed a funny-smelling look on Binkles the Frog's face. Binkles the Frog slowly opened his mouth to speak.
'...What's that smell?'
Toxin the Witch Doctor felt a stabbing pain in his double chin when Binkles the Frog asked this. In a moment of disbelief, he realized that he had hidden the potion right by his oscillating fan. 'Wh-what? I don't smell anything..!' A lie. A abrasive look started to form on Binkles the Frog's face. He turned to notice a box that seemed clearly out of place. 'Th-th-those are just my grandma's potatos from when she used to have pet albino cats. She, uh...dropped 'em by here earlier'. Binkles the Frog nodded with fake acknowledgement...then, before Toxin the Witch Doctor could react, Binkles the Frog thoughtfully lunged toward the box and opened it. The potion was plainly in view.
Binkles the Frog stared at Toxin the Witch Doctor for what what must've been four minutes. A few unfulfilled decades later, Toxin the Witch Doctor groped indiscriminately in Binkles the Frog's direction, clearly desperate. Binkles the Frog grabbed the potion and bolted for the door. It was locked. Toxin the Witch Doctor let out a eccentric chuckle. 'If only you hadn't been so protective of that thing, none of this would have happened, Binkles the Frog,' he rebuked. Toxin the Witch Doctor always had been a little pestering, so Binkles the Frog knew that reconciliation was not an option; he needed to escape before Toxin the Witch Doctor did something crazy, like... start chucking dangerous oil-soaked rags at him or something. A few unsatisfying minutes later, he gripped his potion tightly and made a dash toward the window, diving headlong through the glass panels.
Toxin the Witch Doctor looked on, blankly. 'What the hell? That seemed excessive. The other door was open, you know.' Silence from Binkles the Frog. 'And to think, I varnished that window frame seven days ago...it never ends!' Suddenly he felt a tinge of concern for Binkles the Frog. 'Oh. You ..okay?' Still silence. Toxin the Witch Doctor walked over to the window and looked down. Binkles the Frog was gone.
----o0o----
Just yonder, Binkles the Frog was struggling to make his way through the haunted thicket behind Toxin the Witch Doctor's place. Binkles the Frog had severely hurt his double chin during the window incident, and was starting to lose strength. Another pack of feral spiders suddenly appeared, having caught wind of the potion. One by one they latched on to Binkles the Frog. Already weakened from his injury, Binkles the Frog yielded to the furry onslaught and collapsed. The last thing he saw before losing consciousness was a buzzing horde of spiders running off with his potion.
But then God came down with His plucky smile and restored Binkles the Frog's potion. Feeling relieved, God smote the spiders for their injustice. Then He got in His best-in-its-so-called-'class' sedan and zipped away with the fortitude of 1.2 billion 3-legged wallabies running from a teensy pack of man-eating capybaras. Binkles the Frog fell with joy when he saw this. His potion was safe. It was a good thing, too, because in eight minutes his favorite TV show, Lizzie McGuire, was going to come on (followed immediately by 'When man-eating capybaras meet pipe bomb'). Binkles the Frog was pleased. And so, everyone except Toxin the Witch Doctor and a few rusty razor blade-toting legless puppies lived blissfully happy, forever after. -

HungryHippo7 posted a message on Losing interest...When Diablo 3 was first announced I read every news story on it and new pretty much every piece of information that was announced, but i have pretty much completely stopped reading up on news and I haven't even watched any beta videos.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
I can't tell if this is because I am not interested anymore, or if I just don't want it to be spoiled, it is probably a bit of both. -

Zoltor posted a message on Losing interest...Despite the announcement of dumbing down the systems awhile back, I was still pretty excited. No, as bad as a move removing skill trees/stat allocation was, what really killed it is a combination of the following:Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
Suggested rune changes that could in no way, shape or form can be seen as good(It's bad for the developers, and bad for the players alike, just suggesting such is a huge piece of proof that Blizzard has become incompatant), and then they play games by releasing a Demo, but calling it a beta, which there Isn't a single aspect about this Demo that should lead people to think It's a beta(also it sickens me that people actually stick up for Blizzard, even when they pull **** like this. Whoever thinks this is a beta, should apply for a job at Blizzard, I'm sure they are looking for people to stroke their ego). -

Shmark posted a message on Losing interest...I'm losing interest in beta coverage, and I'm definitely not as excited about the game as I was when F&F beta started, but when it goes gold I'll definitely be pumped up again and am very excited about playing the game when it comes out. We've only seen a tiny portion of the entire thing, so it seems a little early to lose interest entirely.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion -

CorruptDevil posted a message on Losing interest...im not going to place my opinion in a vote. but i will say i am losing interest. the beta started to early i believe even though the game looks well polished. if the game needed to be pushed back i dont think it should of started. alot of hype was generated regardless of what people think or say about blizzards marketing strategies. they built hype thats all that can be said. they released alot of information at one point and it seemed like a good sign for the game. but then they pushed it back and now people are starting to move away from it like me primarily because it won't release as soon as we had hoped. I ll be happy if i get a beta invite but im not focused to much into the game atm now that its been pushed back.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion -
