Job > Diablo 3......

false.

If there was a way to never work and only play D3, I would.

Considering you are from jersey... i'm sure you already living off the state jking.

Job > Diablo 3......

I have been looking around but i coulnd find a post about it, i was wondering, how would weapons compare to eachothers when full of high end gems, would there be any diffrence between gemmed 2h weapons versus 2x 1 handed weapons, besides the attack speed. since it would cost considerable more time to gem 2 one handed weapons, becouse in the beta it seemed that 2 handed weapons were in no way be able to compete against 2 one handed even without gems.

2H weapon gets 2 gems
1H weapon gets 1 gem

2H weapon does more damage per hit
1H weapon attacks faster.

Certain spells are better with heavy damage (as they are unaffected by attack speed).

No...every spell is affected by attack speed.

Fast wpns benefit more from +dmg.
Slow weapons benefit more from regen and hard hitting abilities.

Quote from Ruppgu

It depends what class you're talking about. For Monk and Barb, I think 2 handers are a bit subpar (gems or no gems). This is mostly because you will get to use your generators more often and therefore have more of your resource. I can't stand playing a monk with a 2 hander.

With the Wizard and especially the WD, it's a little more even (in fact I enjoy 2 handers more). Yes, you'll get more stats(gems) with a 1 hander + offand but it doesn't effect your regen (beyond the extra affixes) since you don't rely on attack speed to generate your resource. Personally, I like hard hitting spells but it does depend a bit on your build.

This is entirely preferential.

I for example liked using a staff on my monk. While i generated resources slower... my damage to resources spent was much more effecient.

Its not more efficient, because you are getting to cast less of them.
You need some sort of passive regen for the spells to be more efficient with slow weapons.

Not all spells are benefitted by weapon speed. For example:
DoT's that do X damage over Y seconds.
Its looking like zombie dogs do not attack faster if you have a faster weapon.
High resource skills - If a skill costs enough resources that it can only be cast once or twice than weapon speed is irrelevant.
High cool down skills - Since you can only cast these once in X seconds... weapon speed is irrelevant.

You do NOT need any resource regen to improve efficiency. wtf man... If you do 100 damage per resource spent 15% slower... rather than 85 damage per resource spent ... its the same fucking thing. You may regen slower... but you'll still do the same amount of damage in the same amount of time.

And yes... faster weapons receive more benefits from +X damage. However, that does NOT mean you do more damage with 2 weapons. Logically speaking... we can assume that 2H weapons will have double the power of affixes.

Quote from Vomica

my guess is that the 15% transaction fee too third party is there to even out the scale of things. i mean there will always be a best third-party provider, and with blizzards 15% on cash out. the third-party provider lets say paypal get 3% and blizzards 12% (te rest up to 15%.

now lets say a provider or bank has an option to get money from blizzard but they charge 6% per transaction instead, in this case the bank/provider gets 6% and blizzard gets 9%.

and so on with all the rest of the providers so that everyone will get the same net money out no mather what provider/ bank they plan to use.

That and to punish people for taking money out of the RMAH/BNET circulation.

Blizzard wants to have an incentive to keep the money in their court. If its in their court... it will be spent on blizzard products... or it will be cycled through again and blizzard will get another cut of the transaction.

Quote from bz0r

just to be certain, the beta launcher thing is useless now right? the client install will be completely differnt yeah? I can just unstall/delete the beta now yeah?

yes - beta is usless now.

Good news however, is that teh beta takes like 10 seconds to uninstall.

Quote from Vanhyo

Players who wish to use PayPal to charge up their Battle.net Balance or to “cash out” funds earned in the real-money auction house will be required to sign up for our Mobile Services & Alerts SMS authentication service in Battle.net. When you sign up for the Mobile Alerts service, you will receive a text message on your mobile phone containing a code that you must enter on Battle.net to verify your identity. Once verification is complete, you can then move forward with your transaction. After this initial verification, you will be prompted to enter a new SMS code from time to time when accessing a feature that uses PayPal. Note that standard SMS messaging rates apply -- check with your cell phone carrier for details.

I don't understand, there many cuts already AND SMS TO CHARGE YOU WITH EXTRA MONEY IS A MUST... how is that even fair ?

and please DONT TELL ME ITS FOR SECURITY...if it was for security an Battle.net Authenticator would be enough

So lets say i successfully sell an item for 10$
take away 1$fee
take away another 1.5$ transfer fee
PayPal takes an extra 1$
and rest 6.5$ to pay the sms bill

Does that sound good/fair to you ?



I don't want to attach my mobile to my bnet account for many reasons, i don't understand why are blizzard forcing this on me ?

Because that .25 cents you pay for a text message (which the majority of mobile owners have included already anyways) saves them hours of you bitching about your account being hacked to Customer service.

FOR EQUIPMENT (weapons, armor, accessories, and other unique items)

• Transaction Fee (Gold Auction House): 15% of final sale price
• Transaction Fee (Real-Money Auction House): $1.00 USD per item / $1.00 AUD per item
• Transfer Fee (when sending proceeds to PayPal or other authorized payment-service provider): 15% of amount being transferred

FOR COMMODITIES (gems, materials, dyes, pages, recipes, and other non-unique items)

• Transaction Fee (Gold Auction House): 15% of final sale price
• Transaction Fee (Real-Money Auction House): 15% of final sale price
• Transfer Fee (when sending proceeds to PayPal or other authorized payment-service provider): 15% of amount being transferred

This means a $1 - ITEM / 15% - Commodities blizzard cost. For purchases
15% paypal cut for cash outs.

DONE DEAL... there is no 30% for blizzard.

Quote from ruksak

My suggestion would be to actually improve the items instead of letting this game rot while they count their bucks from console sales. Frankly I'm sick of these "ideas" (no disrespect to the OP), because I've been hearing them from the players for over a year and hearing nothing from the actual people that make the game.

I've gotten to a point where I don't think they'll ever get it right. I've lost all confidence in that gaggle of knuckle heads. I've quit this fucked up game 4 times in the first year now. Not exactly what I had in mind all those years I anticipated the release.

I keep going back and forth on you, but I might have settled; Just leave. All you do is bitch and moan with nothing constructive, and half your points are provably false from the start.

If I were you and I hated D3 so much, just uninstall and leave. You offer nothing to the community.

Sony is planning to launch a cloud-based streaming service through Gaikai, a company acquired by Sony in July 2012. The service will emulate and render previous generations of PlayStation games, streaming them to the PS4 and, likely, the Vita, over the internet.^[67][68]

a cloud-based streaming service

streaming

There's no emulator that could ever handle running incomplete roms in a reliable way. What get streamed to you is a video feed from their *remote* severs doing the emulation. Expect most of the input lag suckitude that plagued OnLive.

New achievement: Defeat Diablo on Inferno MP10 while simultaneously passing a poo!

You're right though, it definitely is a good idea. Who knows, maybe they are making a version for it!

Whats your point? you can flip items on the gold ah and make tons of gold.

i wanna see people who dont use the ah period, their characters probly suck ass (98% of them).

its sad that the only way to get good at this game is by useing the ah, wtf was blizz thinking!

$$$

Thanks for sharing, but I do have a suggestion. You should respect your parents a bit more for putting up with you. If your Mom needs help carrying in groceries, get off your ass and go help her. And she shouldn't even have to ask. Be thankful you have a Mom and Dad capable and willing to take in your sorry ass when your GF kicks you out. Otherwise thanks for the tip on the Mob Density.

Even if it is for 4 hours of content every 2-3 months. Fuck paid DLC...Blizz has a commitment to making games that don't need them (well, excluding x-pac's for obvious reasons). I keep saying this over and over again: The spoiled brats out there that bitch about the game should be thankful they paid $60 for one that is still being updated, tweaked, and balanced...for free.

It's not for free. We could argue on exactly how much money they have gotten from the RMAH so far, but I think we can all agree with one thing: that amount is greater than zero.

Also, how brainwashed are we when supporting one's product is reason for acclaim, instead of it being the other way around - NOT supporting one's product being reason for criticism?
"Companies exist to make money", yadda yadda, yeah, I know.

With all due respect…

To imply that the money Blizzard makes on the RMAH is the culmination of an entire user base to pay for all updates and future expansions is just absurd and to be honest, is not a surprise when coming from the likes of you. You are what I call a permanent troll on the game forums having nothing good to say about the game yet you find time to post your vitriolic filth on the forums dedicated to the game that the majority of us like. We post here because we like the game and when we post a dislike it is a genuine concern for the game and hope that our posts shared with others will be seen as constructive criticism. Your posts are garbage and have always been.

As for the game, I am planning on an anniversary celebration and will be taking my DH to the next level and will continue to enjoy this game. Thanks to Blizzard, many of my expectations for the game have come through and all that have not are being taken care of. It is nice to see a company take care of its user base and continue to support a game well after its initial release.

It is clear to me that you have no concept of law or even, what the complicated language means. You also have completely skipped over the ToS that YOU agreed to. If you read anything found therein, you would notice that they are not liable for any of the claims you are positing currently. I didn't quite care to read the rest of the information you provided past your first nonsense filled post.

It is a case of one individual believing that he can (and everyone else) receive a refund from a company. There is no contract for them to give you "pvp after five months because short to me means less than "7-8 months". Short can, easily, mean well over a year. In programming development time, short is not half of a year. As well, they did not specifically promise any of the things you said within your post. Your information (what you claim are valid or 'legitimate' claims) are, in fact, not. In a courtroom filled with intelligent lawyers, this would be laughed at and you would feel ashamed as you left the courtroom fronting your own legal costs.

SHOULD Blizzard refund you your money, it is simply because litigation costs more than the refund of $69.99, not because you believe you have a case. If such a claim became a class action suit, Blizzard, and its far more intelligent than you lawyers, would crush this horribly. I could even do so and I haven't completed the bar.

I have yet to see one legal word mentioned here, a case precedent or even anything that would hit the word legal. All you have managed to do is comprise linguistic arguments and failed to realize the contract that you entered into has nullified all of your claims. It is quite sad.

Quote from Sikk

Either way, it's a known fact that this game is far from very good. I will be generous and call it... decent. Decent for a supposed AAA game. Lol.

I have issues with D3, just like everyone else.

I have much bigger issues with people like you spouting off "facts" that are asinine opinions and nothing more. You're well within your right to dislike the game, but stop acting like anyone who doesn't hate the game is somehow defying the laws of gravity.

If you want to play Diablo II then I suggest you reinstall it and enjoy because the shit that you're suggesting will never happen.

Hate to break it to you

450+ hours huh? Are you sure you're not just, I dunno... Bored of the game after spending most of the past couple months on it? With a release date of May 15th, that means there has been 66 days between the release of D3 and now.

66 * 24 = 1584 hours total
Minus 8 * 66 = 528 hours for sleep, gives us 1584 - 528 = 1056

1056 - 450 = 606

450 hours spent on the game, 606 not... I hate to break it to you, but you've spent almost half of your waking hours on D3 since release. I'm pretty sure anyone would call that a resounding success.

Surely if the game was so horrible, you'd have stopped playing about 400 hours ago maybe? Then your argument wouldn't seem so ridiculously flawed.
