Guys? Can anyone please explain why 4600% is three times as good as 2600%?
A link or a keyword to look for would be perfectly fine :-)
Thank you very much.

Quote from Daxypad

because of how Weapon Damage % scales in Diablo. The 4500% weapon damage of Molten Fury is more than 3x the 2600% weapon damage of the base Earthquake.

Hi guys, noob here. If I may ask, ehm, wut?

They used a type of software called Voronoi.

Wrong. They used a method of space segmentation (tessellation) named after Georgy Voronoi. They did not mention some specific software.

Guys, you sincerely look like that picture about "no one is right, everyone is wrong" - fighting over something you heard.
What we heard is initially self-contradictory:

Quote from Jay Wilson »

So what we’re thinking about doing is essentially having runes dropped Unattuned, which means they’re kind of grey and generic, they don’t actually have a type. And then you pop them into a skill, and when you do that, the rune attunes to that skill; you can still remove the rune freely whenever you want, but now that rune is not an Indigo rune, it is a Magic Missile splitting rune.

First, Jay says unattuned runes don't have a type. Then he says, that rune ceases to be an Indigo rune when becoming Magic Missile Splitting rune. My take is that runes do have color when dropped, as some people here ask. There's much less to cry about, don't you think?


By the way:

Quote from Gheed2010

The coding side is irrelevant - Bliz has hundreds of programmers.

An obvious case of belief that programmers can do anything. Programmers are like builders. If something was constructed in 3 years, yo can't throw over 9000 people there and make them rebuild everything. Quantity is not speed, and there's a certain lower bound of quality, below which a program just doesn't work.

Quote from Soulmancer

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.

So now you are blaming the company for trying to make money

Quote from Soulmancer

They are stripping away players rights and options for how we choose to play or enjoy a game we're paying for.

The game we are paying for comes with a license. We are paying for a service that comes as is. You heard of a Formula 1 car that you can buy? You pay for it, and you get a car, a truck, a team of technicians and a coach. But the car is not street legal, so when you want to race, you call them, and they bring your car to a racing track. You ride, then they pack it up and haul it back to wherever they store it. What should you do if you want to drive it on the street? You go buy another, because this one comes with rules. Same with Diablo III.

And no I won't by this game.

Thank God.

Quote from Soulmancer

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.

You, my friend, are a pitiful pirate. I played pirated games myself for a long time, but I did this simply because I had no money and wanted to play, so I used stolen games. Then I grew up and started making money. And I pay for games I respect, while still pirating games I respect less (or that lose less when pirated). I do not whine that those bastards do not write games as my majesty desires, hiding my pirate nature behind "respect for fan-base".

Do not worry though, Diablo III will be cracked, and you will have you private servers and stuff. And I will be happy on Battle.net.

Quote from Soulmancer

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.

Wow. Now Square-Enix is evil too. Looks like Runic games will eventually turn their back on you and ruin your whole life too... How scary life is.

Hello there. In short: does anyone use Google Reader and experience problems?

Recently, I decided to switch my favorite Diablo fansite for Diablofans You guy here are nice, you've got Force's cool videos, you get to attend Blizzard Press Events ;), though you sometimes publish overly lengthy essays about obvious systems

August 1st passed in anticipation, and on 2nd I found out that Google Reader is blatantly skipping the very entry about Press Event, while displaying previous and next entries!!!1oneone

Feed Validator supposes that having

I am so pissed off by the original poster...
But pouring my emotions and arguments about what a MMO is on page 4 does not really do anything, so I'll just give a somewhat related fact.

I live in Russia, in Siberia, in the city of Tomsk. It is a 500 thousand city famous for its universities. There are a lot of poor students here. I pay 500 roubles (~18 USD) a month for 2Mbps of out-of-city traffic, 100Mbps in-city, and cable TV. There are offers like 512kbps for $5/month.
I am a programmer, I earn almost a $1000. This is a good salary here. An uneducated shop assistant can make $200-500.

My point is, for some people $5 out of 200 is a nice price for Internet access. Much more affordable than a $60 game. Stop complaining.
