Look guys, there are some pretty big things that most of you aren't considering when you bash these changes...
1. Capping MF at 300% is still extremely high.
2. Paragon is a REWARD for something you are going to do ANYWAY.
3. The changes to PVE Content, class abilities, and the introduction of Paragon is going to makefarming much easier. So you are essentially trading a MF/GF cap for the ability to kill MORE mobs FASTER. Six of one, half a dozen of the other...
I love these changes BUT MF/GF should affect chests. Chests just don't seem anymore important to me than a damn barrel unless they are bloody or resplendant. Also, I understand why Paragon is character specific (because hitting 99 on a character in D2 was obviously character specific) BUT it whole heartedly discourages creating new characters and trying other classes. Why Would I take time min maxing my stats including mf/gf along with survivability for inferno when I know I could just farm with a different character that already has innate mf/gf?

We'll focus on:
As many Open Betas as possible, which would certainly have included PoE
Steam Early Access Titles/ Green Light to get the word out on fledgling developers
New titles coming out with this next generation
PS4/Xbox One/PC
Round Table Reviews of new Titles
General Gaming Related Discussions
Looking forward to seeing all of your opinions. Thanks in advance :).

Yup... you have no idea what you are talking about lol.
You said people weren't thinking because they voted for their favorite class, I voted barb, but my favorite is Witch Doctor, therefore you are wrong...
You are also making farrrr too many assumptions about basically everything, so your point has no factual basis.

Seeing as how the Witch Doctor is my favorite class, your argument is already void. Add the fact that you are comparing methods and hierarchy found in D2 with D3, and I'm inclined to think you have no idea what you are talking about lol. The barbarian of D3 is not the barbarian of old. And seeing as how teleporting is almost rendered useless in the way of MF, it all boils down to how hardy your character is. Obviously no one will really know the answer until we get in and play and I have a feeling they will be pretty close anyway, but the barb does have the most +"treasure find" skills of any class, so how could that not give him a bit of a lead??

However, my personal strategy will be to run a WD with my buddy who is rolling a DH at launch. My WD's survivability should allow me to clear content without needing high end gear, and in the process I will have hopefully found plenty of good gear for my MF Barb. Sacrificing the added dmg/utility of the other rune variants for increased MF is going to affect survivability greatly, especially with a pure melee class.
So, I'll be running WD first to find gear for my Barb (which I'll be running as my second toon) to balance out the skill deficit. While the Barb will hands down be the best MF character, I feel he will be even more dependant on gear than before (if you can believe that lol).

My thoughts precisely :P.

Wow.... in one post you managed to call myself and many others in this thread ignorant, mindless, helpless, and immature...
And how dare you presume that I don't care about myself because my lifestyle is different from yours?? Again, arrogance at its finest.
I hope you are proud of yourself lol, I'm surprised the internet has room for your egomaniacal soap boxing. While I may have the right to poison myself, as you call it, I also have the right to tell you to "shut the hell up you narcissistic asshat..."
On a side note, I'll no longer feed your trolling, feel free to move on. I sincerely hope the door DOES hit you in the ass on the way out.

Here's the deal, no one is saying "ZOMG IZ GONA SHTUFF MA FACE TILL I CANTS BREAVE!!!", like you assume we will lol.
Believe me I get your point, but calling people out for HOW MANY pizza rolls they eat as opposed to eating them at all, is just as arrogant. Again this is not the place to be debating the health of the stereotypical gamer. You need to realize that this stereotypical person you are accusing some of us as being, will do what we want regardless of your diatribes on healthy eating.
Also, while I may dissagree with you vehemently, that pic made lol.

Haha, I feel in this case a curly straw is all but required.

For the love of god (or perhaps the Five Archangels) get off your damn high horse..........
This is a light hearted discussion, not a debate over the health of the average gamer....
And calling those of us stupid for liking pizza rolls is just absurd. On behalf of the rational thinking members involved in this thread, I invite you to pick up your over inflated ego and exit to the right.

The CE has the entire D3 soundtrack :-P.
As for the "eat and drink healthy" crowd, I can appreciate your concerns, but the intent of the topic was was to be fun and entertaining, not boring and preachy lol ;-).
I'm a big fan of Muscle Milk so, I will have a case on hand as per usual lol, probably for the mornings. I like the snack bar ideas.
I'll probably get some peanuts and beef jerky for a decent snack that doesn't make a mess and for a break from the carbohydrate overload that will be the rest of the week haha.

I actually planned on going back and playing all the way through D2 in the weeks leading up to D3's release, but I got to Blood Raven and realized..... I just wasn't enjoying it as much as I had in the past. The Beta spoiled me, and I've never been so excited for a game's release. I'm actually taking vacation from May 14th- May 18th and will have 6 straight days of steam rolling through content. CAN'T WAIT!!!
