    Actually they are already trying to imitate the artwork way too much IMO.
    If you'd ask me, the exaggerated pauldrons and girdle are because they're trying to make it look like artwork.
    (Remember its just an opinion.)
    And without high graph system, you just cant make it look like artwork.
    Think of the barb in D2 looking like (trying to look like ) this: http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc101/eldiablo1992/barbarian.jpg

    Thats my take on it.
    And its an opinion/theory.
    Could be wrong.

    That's actually an excellent characterization.

    Quote from "Dimebog" »
    God it makes me sick when people imply so arrogantly that the game that requires an IQ of 70+ should be 'noob unfriendly'. If you think that you were something special in a game like that, than you just might be that 'special' actually. Give me a fucking break already and drop that argument from whatever points you actually try to make.

    I never said it should be noob unfriendly. Italofoca used Diablo 2's supposed "noob unfriendliness" as an argument against it; I simply replied that noob friendliness is an irrelevant quality and making judgements about a game based on that quality is foolish.

    Most players will remain noobs, perpetually, throughout the time they play even slightly complicated games. Those players are irrelevant and I didn't even include them in my analysis. As for the real players, well they won't be noobs for very long, so how the steep the learning curve is means very little to them.

    Thats not true.
    One of the best ways to make gold in wow are just buy/sell stuff in the AH.
    Of course you also need 6 character with maximized trade skills, so you must use then to buy cheap materials and sell expensive stuff. Also have 2 accounts is very usefull once you don't need to trade items with your character by using the mailbox.
    By using this method you can log in the game and pass like 15 minutes, do your trades, and log again after 1~2 hours to get stuff in the mail and make more trades. With 1 hour of game per day you can make a enormous amount of gold.
    A important but very bad detail is you have to buy a room in a good raid to get some recipes. As i hate raiding, this was a very terrible part for me, but my brother have raided with my characters and gettred some sweet recipes.
    It's a shame what they made with the trade skills in WotLK. Just transformed a great trade tool in a selfbuff for raiders. Still wow's economy are very fun.

    And D2 economy was to noob unfriendly to a game that 50% of your character depends on your trade succes.

    I do hope you realize that our post does nothing to refute mine. I wasn't commenting on how easy it is or isn't to get gold in either game. My point was about the worth of gold in one game relative to that in the other.

    Also, noob unfriendly isn't a negative to me.

    Not me. I enjoyed the fact that wealth was accumulated through skillful trading and not mindless grinding. If gold is worth anything, some assholes with 12 hours a day to play will automatically become uber (remind you of any games? cough Wo..)

    calling tons of people thirty levels lower than them or people who've obviously beaten him/her to a pulp via PVP a "fkcin nub" and repeating that as many times as necessary to annoy said person enough so that they leave.

    Maybe some players who think they're good do things like that. I only took pleasure in taunting people 85+ with awesome gear who still sucked ass because of their shitty build/charms. Guess we won't have that wonderful luxury anymore now that everyone gets their build free though =P.

    angelmaz, everyting you say is self-centered and this is annoying the hell out of me so I am posting it.

    It is not because it's not your reasons that those reasons can be ignored or have no merit.

    Argue against my points logically or don't argue at all. I haven't forgotten that post you made calling everyone against the art design "goths who hate color". By the way, your second sentence literally makes no sense at all.

    So why do you want to make items as easy to come by as they were in Diablo 2? Everyone should have the best gear?

    Take WoW for example: There may be 2 or 3 Warglaives of Azzinoth on an entire realm. (Talking about BC days, Idk whats the best for WotLK.) This was -the- best weapons for rouges or warriors. Nobody had them though, as they were impossible to come by. Now at look Diablo 2, -EVERYONE- has an Enigma. EVERYONE.

    Are you really this retarded? Are you completely incapable of understanding, let alone responding, to an argument? Do you shout out random catchphrases like "everyone had an enigma" in the hopes that they will apply?

    You do realize this is the third time I've made my point. I regret apologizing to you at all, Miss teen South Carolina.

    As for you Mattheo, I'm not ignoring you. I've got finals and don't have time for a serious response to your post right now.

    I wasn't talking about Diablo 3 at all. But you know as well as I that after 10 times through the game with every character, no matter how awesome it is, it's going to get repetitive and boring.

    As far as trading, that still doesn't explainwhy the types of people I mentioned want to get better gear. As I said before: "getting pleasure purely from improvement in a video game? Come--the fuck--on. There's absolutely no point in improving and reaching the pinnacle of power if you can't compare yourself to others (favorably, I might add) in PvP."

    Alright, one last time. I suppose I was being a bit of an ass. But I can't understand why this is so difficult to grasp.

    Arguments against manual stats say that there was a best way to allocate stats, and that this made them useless as customization parameters.

    What I'm saying is that for any given situation and class, there will be a best combination of gear, skills, and runes. In appplying the same, flawed argument to these parameters, one would have to conclude that they are useless and should be removed from the game as well. This would make Diablo 3 a game purely of mouseclicking skill.

    In other words you are incapable of making a thought out reply to my post, so you reply to what you feel is an easier target, dimebog.

    Oh please, don't try to worm out of it. You didn't reply to my main point because you didn't even understand it, which is hilarious to me. All you did was restate what you thought was my point. Let me remind you:

    Quote from "LinkX" »
    Wait, aside from your indirect flaming of anyone who disagrees with you in that last post, you don't like that the system will be putting 151 points in strength and the rest in vitality instead of you?...

    That isn't my point. At least dimebog has brains enough to comprehend my point and respond.

    That's what I got from your baby gibberish...

    The definition of irony. You didn't even understand my retardedly dumbed down version, so I really have nothing else to say to you. You literally completely missed my point. The only thing you even understood was that I was against auto-stats. Wow.

    As for dimebog, his entire argument is based on the post-1.09 Diablo 2, a D2 that is irrelevant and that everyone with any brains agrees is total garbage. But I've already been over that, yet everyone keeps whining about "151 pts in str rest in vit" and "enigma hoto wtfbbq". Newsflash: 1.10 and beyond are fucking trash, and all of your arguments are based on its failures. Try to make the same argument with earlier versions of Diablo 2 and you'll fail.

    But it's easier to say "Oh you just dumped everything into vit anyway" and "Enigma was the only item in Diablo 2" over, and over, and over..

    The lack of reading comprehension I'm witnessing here is absolutely shocking. Let me spoon feed you my post so you can understand it (not you Mattheo, I'll respond to you later).

    Quote from angelmaz »
    There is only one side of the coin. Observe the following facts:

    1. For any given class matchup, there will be a best gear, skill, and rune combination. I'm going to ignore anyone who argues this fact because they're wrong, plain and simple. And neither I, nor any true Diablo fan, give a rats ass about PvM, so please don't bother mentioning it--it's irrelevant, and nobody should care about it.

    Baby version: Diablo 3 PvM is going to be nothing more than an item vending machine after the 5th time through it. PvP is all that matters in the long run.

    For any class matchup in PvP, there is going to be a best way to gear yourself and have your skills/runes distributed. This is a fact. There will be a best way.

    Quote from "angelmaz" »
    2. The chief argument made against manual stats is that there was a best way to do it, meaning that a unique stat allocation and excellence were mutually exclusive.

    Storytime: There was one, best, way to distribute your stats for each class, and you auto-stat people didn't like that--not one bit! I feel like I should do a Dr. Seuss thing here. Anyway, distributing your stats differently caused you to be less effective.


    Quote from "angelmaz »
    By the auto-stat logic, any route of customization that has a best way is useless, and should be removed from the game. I submit to you that [I]all routes of customization will be found to have a best way [/I']and thus by your own, foolish, arguments customization should not exist at all.

    Naptime tale: You didn't like that there was a best way to distribute your stats--not at all! You wanted stats removed from the game, since you would be forced to distribute them a certain way to be the best. But then you realized that by that logic, items, skills, and runes shouldn't be in the game either!

    Quote from "angelmaz" »
    The only variable in that case would be player skill, making Diablo 3 nothing more than a 3d action game with no RPG elements whatsoever. I hope you can see the hilarious irony, given that your crowd ceaselessly chants "more customization less limitation".

    Good morning baby sunshine: And then you realized that if Blizzard removed everything from the game, all that would be left to distinguish you from another was your skill at clicking the mouse! And you figured you ought to play a RTS or FPS if you didn't want any customization. Customization all right, because you had realized that your arguments against manual stats left no room for any customization at all. So you stopped making them, and all was well in the land of babies who can't read.

    The end.
