    Quote from GladHeHasBeta

    more and more games are being made online-only removing millions of possible piracy. not for just piracy but also for features that you buy in-game are making companies more money then the buying of the game. thats all companies will do, they will get sick of everyone pirated their games and just make them all online-only to avoid 90% of the pirates and make 100x more money from in-game goods to buy.

    the D3 RMAH will make billions and once other companies witness they will ALL jump on the band wagon. this is the future of PC gaming.
    Yeah, right. They will try and they will fail. The only reason Blizzard can do it so well is that they have a massive amount of blind fanboys supporting it. Making games completely onlines kills what makes PC gaming unique. Anyone that doesn't see that should not even have the right to speak of PC gaming.

    I hope so too. They say a lot of things, and I'm sure they mean it, but they have EA on their back. The result is just unpredictable.

    Quote from asfastasican

    A handful of people have told me that Knights of the Old Republic was Bioware's magnum opus and that Mass Effect was great, but not nearly as great as KotOR. I never bothered to finish Dragon Age 1, even though i enjoyed it and I loved Baldur's Gate 2. It was fun to see DA as a new spinoff on things.
    Really? According to the circles I follow, myself included, Baldur's Gate 2 is still by far Bioware's greatest achievement, a masterpiece they are yet to improve upon. Mass Effect is definitely my second Bioware favorite, for the simple reason that no other RPG has come close to display consequences in such a vivid way. I can't wait to see how all of the profound choices I've made in 1 and 2 is reflected in 3.

    I loved the adventure in ME regardless of its modernization, however I'm expecting ME3 to fall so flat and bad because of its time constraint. Like you, I'm expecting much from ME 3, and I expect it to show me what my choices made. Yet they had so little time in total to make it, and many possibilities, I bet so much of it will be as meaningless as emails were in ME2 to tell you "oh thank you for doing X instead of Y back in ME1".

    We're talking about EA. ME3 coming out soon is in no way a good thing. That the date was known for a while is also pretty bad and just tells you how EA works.

    Blizzard = Games are not designed with as specific a timeline and budget. Like any companies they have expectations and limits, but they believe in delivering a quality product first and foremost. Blizzard tend to see long term, they're -very- smart at marketting and can manage an extremely solid and confident fanbase while still making so much money. That they could pull off the RMAH as they did, however sad it is, is a genius move for their pockets.

    EA = What does EA believe in? Making money as quickly as possible. I'm pretty damn sure all their products have a very strict deadline and budget decided before the game is even in production. Bioware is forcing themselves to do everything they can as quickly as they can, because EA want their game out and making money, not in production.


    I'm just saying there's a huge difference in mindset.

    Quote from maela

    One wonders what exactly they have been doing. The number of features that were described in the original pre release teaser that are now "non functional" or outright removed is growing by the day.
    This is true of every single game development I have ever followed. Expecting anything else is foolish at best.

    posted a message on with followers like these who needs self healz
    The Templar is awesome. I might be ultimately using him with everybody. Even when I'm melee, I like someone else that can melee and make other groups busy. When I'm ranged, I obviously like having a tank. And thats all besides the fact that I love healing. It'll be hard for me to choose the 2 other guys ever.

    The awareness over this must grow, and FAST. Its not too late, like you said. The war against SOPA pretty much exploded overnight. We need to move this against ACTA. Spread the word.

    Quote from nemesis2252

    what happens when you run into a physical and fire immune pack of enemies and thats the only damage your current skill system has?
    There's no immunities on monsters anymore.

    posted a message on How Difficult Should We Expect Diablo 3 To Be?
    Well, its not hard to be harder than D2. That game was sad in terms of difficulty. It was tedious at best, cheap at worse. As long as they make D3 actually challenging, I'll be happy.

    Actually, it makes a lot of sense.

    Without the cooldown, then it can actually (theoretically) be beneficial for you to switch to a seventh skill in the middle of a battle.

    Our old problem would be back. Less efficient yes, but still.

    No, the wording can very well be interpreted as "the skill HAS a cooldown of 30 seconds", which means you can't use it, DURING WHICH you (ALSO) cannot exchange it.

    posted a message on Simple Spell Tooltips Live, Blue on Patch 10,Beta Level Cap, Vote for D3, Weekly Roundup
    Sorry, the only thing I can ever, ever answer to the simple tooltip is the common thing that governments love to do with our children:

    Treat them like morons, they turn out like morons.

    Simplifying things for the sake of a dumb ass that can't figure out or just TRY to figure out for more than 10 seconds a simple concept is such a moronic concept. Next we'll know, kids won't even learn to read. That shit is hard, dude. Don't strain their fucking brain.

    Sorry, but that concept which I see everywhere in real life pisses me off. And to be clear, this is more about the justification they give than the actual tooltips. "We're doing this for idiots" is what they told us.

    2965 life per second?

    Yeah.. uh... no kidding. But it just takes one small mistake in the calculator to do that, it obviously won't stay like that.

    Unless life suddenly scales to ridiculous level later in the game.

    posted a message on Seriously What is This? Can it be changed?
    The problem is that changing the background to Red does not tell you the rarity of that item before you put your mouse over it.

    The problem with the locks is they don't stand out. Unlike the X.

    posted a message on Content Patches or Expansion for Content
    Hum... the game is free to play. I don't see why they would think it better for their pocket to release massive amount of content through patches. Not that they won't add anything with patches, but the big stuff will be in expansions and they certainly are going to look for profit.
