Quote fromUse it incorrectly? People can use rep however they please. There is no correct or incorrect way besides the stuff in forum rules (no flame in rep etc.)
I'd say that passing rep back and forth just because another person gave it to you, is using it incorrectly.
Ugh, I'm not ranting about this again, already made a substantial post explaining my thoughts on this.

They have not listened or chose to ignore the majority of it, where as on other parts they have listened...The game also relies far too heavily on items and without items the character you make is utter garbage...
If Rob is proud of what they did then something must be seriously wrong at Blizzard... Too much iteration imo with no clear direction.
R.I.P Cain, Last of the Horadrim to be killed by a butterfly...lol

Having a preview about class changes and have 1/3 the page just saying pretty much "it's changing in a big way.... see patch notes when we decide to put them up"... Is really REALLY sad.
Monk Passive - All that was said is OWE is pretty much a needed passive and that's it besides 10% increase to some rando stupid passive no one will ever use...
We also only got 2 skills with dmg increases compared to over 6 with the barb(not counting SSS cause no %dmg number was given)... Even though it is a preview this one is crap even compared to the Wizard one lol...

Don't get me started on how crap the items are in D3 atm. All the rage is about the items sucking so bad with nothing to find bar stupid rares since the sets and legendaries have crappy stats(most). You should not be playing for 320 hours to find 1 or 2 fucking set pieces in a diablo game PERIOD...
Go play a game of Diablo 2 classic or LOD play through to act 5 hell and tell me how many uniques and sets you find now compare that to Diablo 3... You see where everyone is coming from? Don't say you can't compare a 10yr old game to a new release, this should have been done a long long time ago. When you release a sequel it is generally a lot better than the predecessor.
I'm gonna stop here cause man it just isn't a diablo game atm...

However after my friend got me into playing Hardcore, the threat that your char only had 1 life, just like we have IRL, was too good to pass up. To be able to have a high lvl and powerful hardcore char that had yet to die always kept me on my toes. It made me feel like I accomplished something meaningful as I guided this hero through dangerous areas and lived to talk about it. Yes the occasional lagspike / internet problem / computer issues aside... Didn't damper my spirit as I never wanted to go back.
Hardcore was just sooooo much more than the original game, always keeping you on the edge of your seat, having to react and adapt to the situation at hand. Where as in softcore you could just die, leave game get corpse back. sure u lost gold / durability / experience points... YOU CAN GET THOSE BACK EASILY...
You die in hardcore, your inventory / stash / merc gear was all GONE, if you allowed someone to loot your corpse you could only get back the items / gear you were wearing. You knew the risks and the dangers, yet you still played. Heck even this season teleporting around on my bo Barb with 6K HP and landing next to fanatcism Death lords with the extra fast mechanic still scares the hell out of me(Others might ask well why didn't u go around? well I've chosen to not use any hacks since 1.09 NONE). I didn't need any cause I was more experienced than I was back in 1.09.
I didn't get as good as I am today without practice. Countless hours mfing, lvling up, playing with mates, slaughtering god knows how many cows(all that beef gone to waste... damn shame) of course even I had the occasional death.
My very first death in D2 HC was on a bowazon in 1.09, I was in the bloody foothills, those used to give decent xp back in those days. I ended up dying to a bloody catapult... Yes a stupid Catapult... What the hell I was a newbie to HC after all. I was shocked that I could of been so careless, not watching my health globe or my surroundings(I think I ran over alot of those mine things or w/e they are). This is what you DID NOT WANT TO EVER SEE!!!!
I knew the 2 players that died, I wasn't there when this happened. They died due to how damage was calculated... FELE Lister bug.
However my resolve was strong and I wasn't going to give up that easily, I had demons to vanquish and uber loot to obtain! My Quest continued.

This is just the screenshot of my Zon, my Necro is also 98.
I finally dinged lvl 98.
Onto the final lvl, I'm getting 75k a game, so it will take me aprox...
3870 runs to ding lvl 99.
In hours thats 259.
Fun times ahead... lol

Ahh, very nice, my Necro is also skele.
How ever its only Skeleton / Mastery then 1 into each curse and rest of my points into spirit / bone wall / bone prison, as those also provide more benefit to bone armor, with his current gear. He gets like 650 damage absorb with bone armor, and since I don't play any games without a barbs Battle Orders.
With HC u only have one life. With the internet and how instable a DSL connection can be, taking every precaution is a must. Unless u know the game from head to toe...
The way I'm baaling atm, I call it all legit, I run a 2:8 or 3:8 xp split for throne and 2:8 ( by myself) or 3:8 with a friend( also a nec #2 ) for Baal.
I have my Bo barb teleport runs, zons clears then nec comes down, summons a few skeles then auto casts Lower Res ( window mode- Continuous casting) then I recently made an Assassin, she takes tp makes her own( so i keep my barbs one open). She gets BO from the barb, and lays down traps.
***I have 8 windows, 4 are on a proxy so I can get a FULL D2 game*** NO HACKS ARE USED. Besides a program called Sandboxie (runs d2 in its own sandbox/sandpit) - I also use a program I used for Multi-boxing in WoW that just sends mouse clicks / key strokes to multiple windows. I use that to get the extra chars into the game without having to type the game name 8 times per run...

I agree with you, it has been a year since the first WoW Xpac was released, World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade. There will always be like a year gap, atleast... you can't produce the quality of games that Blizzard publishes in such a short time... You do remember when they started work on SC2 right?? RIGHT?!
Since WoW is bringing in alot of money for vivendi, i believe that vivendi will do w/e it takes to support blizzard in making these huge money making games. None of that EA crap, same with hellgate, rushed and not polished coulda been an awsome game, but just completely failed...
