I personally could care less about what other people do regarding the game. I know that I will have earned the gear that I have, and I don't need someone else's confirmation to feel accomplished.
yeah i definitely see that point of view as well, i'm only venting, it's not going to ruin the whole game for me or anything, i just always liked that part about WoW, and many other games too, that if you get an item, generally it means you earned it. i mean ninja looting, and paying guilds to run you things did exist yeah, but the majority didn't do that. Like i said i would be happy if it was mentioned on the item somewhere, that it was bought with RL money. You can't deny that part of the reason you play online with other people is so you can compare and show off your character, if you only wanted a 60 char with good gear, and didn't care about bragging rights at all, chances are you will be playing single player mode.
enigma. being in australia means that i can never cast tele as fast as my fcr lets me because i will end up teleing to the same. spot. like 3 times before moving anywhere. So it's useless for me. Also, buying items. im pissed off that the RMAH even exists, i think its BS that people can just buy items for a dollar it takes ALL the fun out of end game, cause you know there will be people walking around in full sets because mummy gave them 20 bucks. pisses me off thinking about it. I would be happy if Blizz put a big sign on the bottom of the item in inspect saying BOUGHT OFF RMAH or something. so you know who actually plays the game properly
wow so few females :/ i guess that was to be expected though, I'm sure there will be ladies playing the game, even if they don't frequent diablofans forums lol
an API is a programming tool/utility , it can do different things, its basically a pre programmed uility to assist in programming things. its like building what you need, in order to really start building something. In d3s case though, seeing as they have already stated there will be no modding (i think), its more likely to be used for extracting information from the client, like the above commenter said. Think thottbot, armory those kinds of WoW database sites, blizzard is going to make it easy for tech savvy people to poke around the D3 files and have third party information sites etc, but because Blizz is making the API, they can control exactly what features are available for alteration/observation. Sorry if this was confusing im not a very succinct person lol
I also live in Adelaide, I get on average 230-320 ms (ish) based on playing WoW, League of legends, and every other online game ever. The way Blizz described the client based calculations during combat is interesting, i will have to wait and see if there is still a noticeable delay, but as long as i can hold down teleport on my wizard without teleporting to THE SAME SPOT like 6 times.... (omg diablo 2.. kill me now..) then i will be happy. if i am fucking rubber banding around everywhere and dying on HC chars and stuff, i will be so disappointed in D3 then i might just cry.
this is me, that game is similar to WoW for me, in that i hate it but i keep going back. If i'm not playing this, i'm wasting untold hours watching the yogscast on youtube, or re-playing games from my childhood over and over, such as Baldur's gate 2, monkey island games. Also, minecraft. I tried playing D2 again this week but i couldn't actually play online, every game i created got insta spammed by bots.. it's so broken lol
Blizzard is a company, they need money to survive and keep making games, also if you recall the last 3 years blizzcons have been complete losses for them in terms of money, but they still do it for the fans, they are a very community oriented company, they take a lot of our feedback, they are a very good company i think, and the answers in this interview seem pretty honest, i mean why deny that they are going to probably get some more money out of it?
sorry for the stupidly massive sentence :/
Worried about your friends making fun of you? I know I am
i wouldn't worry about that but i can see idiots pulling that stat out of their asses if you happened to start an argument online.... "Oh yeah? well, look at your playtime u have no life hurr hurr durrrrrrrrrrrrp!?"
now that you remind me that always pissed me off about D2, like in a big way lol i never got why they didn't add the option... but im sure battlenet 2.0 is better than the old school one
EDIT: i meant the seeing lower modes games in multiplayer
I'm leaning on the Demon Hunter first, cause I think it will be the less played class and seems like it can be a lot fun if your into the whole kiting thing. They seem kinda annoying at times in all the beta footage I've seen but waiting on the newest change to hit beta, seems like they will make the class a lot more enjoyable and constant shooting instead of waiting on hatred. And a lot of the cool discipline cost spells(that actually do dmg) come at higher levels so that will open up another resource.
i think DH is gonna be the class that will be able to survive any situation easily if the player is good/quick enough. I mean all the classes are supposed to be like that of course, i just mean with her vaulting around and stuff i can imagine some dastardly DH's owning it up endgame, pvp and pve
i will likely play each class for a couple of hours before deciding, i just still can't get a feel for the classes no matter how many videos i watch, its just not the same. Still, im definitely leaning towards wizard (ever since BG2 i can't not play mages..), if not him as my main then probably barbarian, i will be going dual wield attack speed with super quick weapons, preferably with like poison or a groovy on-hit effect. i want diablo
tbh the only reason i buy game guides is for the pretty pictures, the smell of a new book, and the look of it on my cupboard, i cant think of any reason to buy one unless you are new at gaming in general, the tips are usually useless except for complete noobs :/ this isnt true for games that require guides obviously, like an rpg, or game filled with secrets, but guides for things like WoW are generally shit, you can get all the info u need on the net. SO in conclusion i would like to see lots of pretty pictures, well formatted tables containing useless but interesting information that u can read while you are on the toilet.
