Are you kidding me?

Why is this topic allowed to breathe?

Buy the time we get to 60we just bet nightmare or just about to. what do you think about i

In what language do you speak? Are you extraterrestrial?

I understand people blaming the graphics resemblance more than this.

So they take something out of WoW and put it there. Guess what, WoW is not revolutionary. What it does has been done before and after. Frenzied has nothing to do with WoW.

That you think this makes you think of WoW is just your own blindness showing up. Did you ever see anything else but the big WoW game everyone else knows about? There's inspiration to have that is extremely similar in a lot of other games.

Heck I'll just say this, I'm completely fucking sick of people comparing anything to WoW in a negative way just because they don't like WoW. It just means you're ignorant and can't see beyond the single big successful game.

You should get banned for not being smart enough to just... I don't know... look in the forum a bit before posting, see that its dated Dec 2 and thus, actually look around for it instead of just posting it right away in a forum you almost never posted in.

You won't see me wasting my time killing the same stuff over and over for loot. I can't even believe people want to go that way. Diablo 2 is a great game, but certainly not because of that. Hey guys, lets just farm for items all day. Really?

I finish Hell, reach the level cap if its not stupidly time consuming for no reason like in D2, I do any end game stuff or events they have in store, and then I stop; next character. Don't care for PvP.

Its all about will they have anything decent to do. This isn't supposed to be a MMO, after all.

I think what you missed is this: http://www.diablofans.com/topic/22536-hardcore-pvp/

Including a poll on the subject because we don't know if its possible or not.

--What is this topic about, anyway?--

Mods. Editors. We all know that Diablo 3 will not be coming with any sort of editor. It'll never happen. Case closed.

As for mods. Mods have been the most important part of my gaming life since the begining. I see it like this: The community is either a developer's pawn, or the developer gives them the tools to play the game as the player intend, and create new things.

Mods are a must for a game to live on pass a certain point in time. And Diablo 3 is not looking to have Mod Support, or a side -open battle.net- where people can connect with modified files.

I am a modder. I always change every games I possibly can to adjust them to myself. -THAT- is the beauty of true gaming to me. If you kill modding for 1 game, you killed a thousand potential new games and thousand of ideas.

If it wasn't for modding (my own, or from others) I would have missed some of the best gaming experiences I have ever had. Yet modding in this day and age is disappearing. And I say: This isn't what I call Gaming, and I would not be a Gamer, without mods, and without the original works of the gaming communities.

And so I have to ask: What is your opinion on modding? If its not there, will you miss it greatly? Will you just not care at all? You don't have to answer these specific questions. I just want your opinions on modding. I for one, could not live without it.

Why do unique ends up being the best? Because reliably having the perfect Rare is way too hard.

You either have uniques that are constantly weaker than most rares, or not.

--Why do people want Rare to dominate?--

A lot of people seem to want Rares to dominate because they are random, unlike Uniques. But in the end, the ultimate stats on Rares you will want are not so random. Even if people have slightly different items that does almost the same thing... why does it matter so much?

I see nothing wrong with Uniques and Sets being the most powerful items in the game. They have the more uniques possible stats, while Rare can still be powerful. But what do you want to seek in the end? You want to hope for an absolutely random rare that might just fit your need?

I don't. I want to hope for Diablo's Sword of Doom (random name) to drop for my character. I want items I can expect in advance to one day find, or buy. I want to hope for them. I don't want to hope for -that random Rare-.


Rares should never be a goal. Rare happens on their own and can make builds different just because they dropped out of nowhere. Nothing wrong with that to have extremely rare Rare drops that are more powerful than Uniques. But they can't be more powerful in general.

Quote from BoredSilly

I'm very concerned about this move. Multi platform games usually turn out to be a disaster on the PC. Case in point was final fantasy IV, which had a control system that was both sluggish and difficult to navigate on the PC. They will be forced to make concessions and design changes to incorporate consoles which will simply do nothing for me except degrade the final product. Stupid decision by greedy corporate types who I'm guessing know nothing about gaming.

Oh yes. You make a lot of sense.

I never spend more than 60$ on a game (special editions can kiss my ass) and I never upgrade for a single game. If I upgrade, its become the games in general that I want are getting too demanding.

Quote from Zarwo

I will be using about 3000 dollars on a new computer. Yes I know that Blizzard will be going towards that allmost all computer specs will run DIII. But I want to run DIII on the highest of highest graphics specs

And anyone wasting such ridiculous amount of money on a computer is crazy. Even more so for a game. I'm sorry. I absolutely cannot take you seriously. Are you just buying a pre-built laptop from a big company or some stupidity like that? It has to be. A 500$ computer carefully built could max D3, I have no doubt. At best, I would priced the best computer worth having at 1000$ and even that is way too much money.

I'm a computer guy, I live by my computer, and I could never justify such a gigantic waste of money. I'm sorry about this, its just astounding. I can't get over it.

4 people is enough more then that is a crowd

especially with the new spell effects and pretty lights

The route of my pissed-offery doesn't stem from offline play being removed alone. It's Blizzard's additude and mentality toward this game and it's community and their obssession with making money and preventing piracy while hiding under the guise of convenience. They are stripping away players rights and options for how we choose to play or enjoy a game we're paying for. They are applying the same strict control methods seen only in pay to play or cash shop mmorpgs; yet the game isn't. They are forcing everyone to play on the servers they strictly control... Preventing offline play, banning modding, preventing lan and a real cash auction house are disgusting.

As for mods. Hellfire for Diablo 1 was a fanbased mod; there are countless mods for Diablo 2... Blizzard stated early on mods would not be supported for Diablo 3 but if players wanted to make mods "power to them" it was still ok. Now this has had a dramatic reverse where mods are now against policy and terms of service.

The thing about offline mode, mods would have been limited to offline mode. You could still create singleplayer offline mods; with the removal of offline mode this will become impossible since battle.net is the only way you can play the game. Because anyone not playing on battle.net means potentially less revenue for Blizzard through the auction house.

And no I won't by this game. I'll stick with Torchlight 2 until private servers start popping up for Diablo 3; but I will no longer support or respect Blizzard as they have chosen not to support or respect their fan-base time and time again.

Square-Enix was a large video game company responsible for some of the most popular games ever created; but they became too complacent and arrogant while turning their backs on their fans and have gone into a spiraling downfall because of it.

And quit being another hostile dumb ass nerd defending these changes. It only empowers Blizzard to continue to screw over the community. It amuses me how some people defend Blizzard like it's a religion.

Quote from CritterCutter

The thing is if you achieve these things you haven't solved the problem, just the cause. As soon as something bad happens in life it will all just come back. Also yes anger is a good outlet for depression, but love and forgiveness is a better outlet for me. When I love the people that care for me I feel much better than if I were to snap at them every time they annoyed me. If I did that I would just feel guilty and depressed.

Spouting things you read in some silly book. I believe you mean well, so I will tell you something, maybe you'll stop spouting these things:
most people in society, when they see something that's different from others, such as depressed people, perceive it as a personality fault. They are afraid depression will happen to them, so they convince themselves that it won't. They convince themselves that depression only happens to lazy, weak, emo people, so that they can consider these people inferior to them. This even happens to people who used to be depressed, just like people who used to be poor stop caring about the poor once they become rich.
Most books about depression are written with this idea in mind, I found. It's not there directly, sometimes it's even subconscious. At the end of the day, they all try to convince us that the only ways out are paths we cannot take, and all others do not owrk, therefore saying there's no way out. Like you right now, telling me something won't work, like you know SHIT, like you know ANYTHING except some rubbish you read in a book.

I'm not a book.

I'm real. I know how I work.

And I don't need your 'help' if all you can tell me is that I will fail.

While it has been said before, here is one more piece of concrete evidence that there will be no class in Diablo III dedicated just to healing or any other utility.

Blizzard has stated from the beginning that they are making Diablo III with cooperative play as its main stage. With cooperative play comes forming parties or groups. However, unlike a very famous Blizzard MMO, players will not have to worry about looking for a healer to form a party and complete certain obstacles. Blizzard wants every class to be able to destroy the demons of Hell whether they are in a group or the player is enjoying Single Player.

While no class is dedicated to healing or support, this is not to say that each class is not without some skills to help out themselves or their group stay alive as Bashiok mentioned. The Barbarian has skills like Strong Constitution and Death Proof to help keep him alive along with a slew shouts and battle cries to help out his group. The Witch Doctor has Jungle Fortitude to give him some extra HP and has Horrify and Mass Confusion to aid his allies. From the few skills revealed for the Monk, it is easy to see how he can help his group stay alive with Inner Sanctuary and Radiant Visage. Even the offensive heavy Wizard has Conjured Health to gain some need HP and Slow Time to help party members.

Along with no healing class, Blizzard has also removed the accessibility of potions for the player. They have created many more mechanics to help characters to constantly stay in the action of this game. Health Globes will help player heal as they continue to fight. The have also added checkpoints for when you do die and a co-op resurrection system. While some Hardcore Players may face a harder challenge without potions and no healing class, it is the challenge that keeps people playing Hardcore.

So for all of you who continue the fight against healers in Diablo III, you can rest. There will be no healing class in Diablo III.

The big deal is that a lack of dedicated servers is having a negative impact on competitive gaming. There are, of course, other reasons, and some good general overviews can be found here and here.

Basically, this is all just a slap in the face to PC users; the series wouldn't be what it is today without the support of PC users.

Also, for you people arguing over the controller vs. keyboard/mouse, take a look at this.

No seriously, I had little intentions of buying that game and yet it pisses me off.

What the fuck is going on with the gaming world? Well, in the world in general, too, but why gaming too? How freakin' sad can it get?

Same here. I've never played CoD4 and wasn't too into this game since it's multiplayer mainly and I'm just not into multiplayer FPS, but this is ridiculous...

And worst of all, people will buy this game. And they will realize they can limit the player in each and every way and still get their money back.
