I agree a little... Mostly because Ihave killed 109,610 total monsters, and 5992 of those were elites, and I only found ONE Legendary, it was a Stormshield I was able to sell for 80 dollars on RMAH. Yeah, great, awesome profit. But it only took 150+ hours of game-play.
Yeah, I get it, my MF is only 140, but for a DH that's already too much because I have horrible defensive abilities, but a whopping 100k DPS :D.
So just putting it out there, there ARE people who play and play and play, have three level 60's (almost 5) and have nothing to show for all the play except what he's able to buy.
Lmao, no. I bought this game because I've patiently waited 11 years to play it because I've been playing since the release of Diablo 1. I am complaining because they were in development for so long, and only now they are removing and balancing. I love Diablo, I love the lore, and I love the style of the game, but I simply cannot accept or condone Blizzards actions on how they are handling
Seriously? By looking at your posts I would say that you haven't even finished nightmare on Diablo 2... Come on, nightmare/Hell on Diablo 3 are way easier (save for a few packs) than Diablo 2. The really hard stuff only starts at inferno Act 2.
Let me guess, you play softcore. It took me under 15 hours on hardcore to beat d2 on a ladder reset, still not done with hell on hardcore at around 50 hours on d3( to be fair, part of it was mfing gear for lower characters), either way, d3 is way harder if you play hardcore.
I will never play Hardcore on this game due to it being only online, and my internet is not stable. I've died quite a few times because I lagged while fighting mobs. I loved Diablo 2 hardcore, but with Diablo 3 my computer and internet just doesn't agree, also I seem to die a lot easier on D3. I am refusing to use the Auction house for the time being, and most of the time I play solo, save for the few times my friends randomly join my game.
There are too many ways to get backed up into the corner with no escape route, potions are worthless most of the game with the cool-down timer. I've been walled, and then nightmared into a corner and died without even being able to do anything before. I'm not saying that hardcore isn't hard, it actually is and takes a lot more conservative skill.
My main point is that the game is more frustrating over pleasurable if you are playing to play, and not in it for competition or racing to the top. I've died 14 or so times in 20 minutes on my level 46 Demon hunter while trying to get through act 3 on Nightmare, and I would not say my gear or play-style is outdated, there are just really buffed elites out there.
I see very few positive updates, but many nerfing, and removing things that were just fine being there. Just because I am not past nightmare doesn't give my opinion any less, or any more effect, I recognize that it will be a lot harder, that's not my point. It's already a difficult game, it already has its time consumption, and it already has its appeal. Fix the bugs, balance the play-style, and leave the game as is.

I've been a part of beta since October of last year. So I know how much they have done. My only problem with it is the fact they are negatively impacting the game. It doesn't need to be harder, just balanced. If people are having problems with Inferno, inferno is broken not the characters, and making them weaker and less effective is definitely not fixing anything.
It's not that I am not playing right, it's that I don't have the time to sit there and farm for items, I do not like how this game is all about gear, that's important, but it shouldn't the main thing. All I see is negative updates, removing this and that, nerfing that, taking away this because it's not how 'they' want the game to be played. This should have all been done before the release, because the game at release WAS the game to me, now everything being done afterwards is just them removing things.
Why do I continually see negative updates for this game? I keep trying to play, and can barely make it past nightmare with soloing and not using Auction house. And they keep making it more difficult and unattractive, and I am a hardcore diablo fan since the beginning. Stop making a more difficult game, more difficult! It's getting tot he point where it isn't even fun anymore just hours spent between working, the girlfriend, and then trying to progress just a little.
I don't mean to sound negative, but that's all I see coming from you, Blizzard. Stop it.
Game music at the start (Of course) then maybe after the first play through, either some dubstep, some solo guitar music, or some hardcore metal that would match it perfectly (I love rock music when slaughtering things!)
I am looking forward to learning a new game all over again. I have been playing Diablo since the start, and Diablo 2 on and off for the last 10 years and pretty much know everything about the game (Even the names of items when un-identified) And I have once obsessed over it.
I have played many games inbetween playing Diablo, but only have been particulary attached to only a few, and Diablo 3 looks to rejuvinate my love, and my interest in the series.
There are many things I am looking forward to, but just having it in my reach, and being able to play again is what I am happy about most.
u really dont know how to dupe in D1? no body "finds" good stuff in that game anymore lol...
I don't think he meant Diablo 1. He meant Diablo in general, and then was asking if it will be the same system in Diablo 3. Diablo 1 was so easy, but fun regardless :P. Spooked me when I was a kid. Especially the Butcher...
There should be a point upon completion that by the time you get there you should be a bit stocked in items and gear. Especially since playing the game will be more of a requirement. (Killing all monsters in an area, etc). Diablo 1 was too easy to get things, and Diablo 2 was a bit more difficult, it was very hard to start off in the game without owning a "magic finder" or a friend who was stacked up in HRs.
So I hope they find a good balance and make beginning fresh a lot less difficult. But who knows, if there is no ladder will we even have to worry about starting completely "new" besides in the very beginning?
You forget there are Dclone hunting bots already. At least. so I thought. I know there's an entire IRC channel devoted for selling SOJs on whatever servers. It looks like a con to me, you pay tribute to what a "chance" at getting a SoJ. And you may be screwed over due to someone taking your place in a channel or game. I don't know I didn't waste my time reading up on it.
Yeah sorry didn't mean paragraph, just meant it's hard to post spam in length and sentences rather than something short. Length takes time, spammers don't take time, or else there posts would contain more than spam. Get it? :P.
No... That would put us in the same boat as SoJ selling. Hmm...
I like the Standard of Hero idea. For a few reasons. Because the requirement to summon Dclone would be 90, as is the requirement for Standard, it gives it a use, and it makes Uber Trist more rewarding. Once you have any and all of the Hellfire Torches, you kill it for what, money? When you could be getting a rare Annihulus, granted it wont be "as" rare as it once was. I was lucky enough to be in a game with my Girlfriend at the time and it randomly spawned on my server. I was ecstatic, as I have never had as much luck. I took it down with a level 83 hammerdin. But yes, seeing and fighting it more would bring a lot more excitement into Diablo 2. Kind of wondering, will such a thing exist in Diablo 3?
As you can see I do not have very many posts, but most of my posts, but for maybe one or two of them have had a paragraph or more, and not spam. I care little about post quanity and more about quality. I don't want to be seen as someone who spams his way into a reputation, if being hated or looked down on is the price. I have been a part of Diablo fans for over a year now, yet I have such a little post count. This is because I visit nearly every day and look at the blue posts and the news posts. I post where I want and when I think I should. If I read all the way through a thread and it's replies and see that everything is said, that my feelings and thoughts were voiced, I don't bother posting. It's that simple.
The original Diablo was what I myself considered a breeze, something that could be beaten in a matter of hours. Diablo 2 was made with more difficulty, and more monsters, bosses, areas, etc. It only makes sense if Diablo 3 is more difficult than the last, because you're factoring in a lot of new classes, and fighting styles, not to mention the new 'interaction' with the environment around you. It sounds promising, and I hope it to live up to it's reputation. I myself have played the entire Diablo series for over...8 years now in total, and I never get tired of it. Diablo 3 has been long awaited by many fans who have loyally followed it, and I think they are also wanting it to be more challenging than the last. What's the point in making it easier?
