Sometimes I wonder if I am the only one who's really, and I mean REALLY, enjoying the game. It is just about exactly what I anticipated it to be. I really liked the story, I loved the characters, and I am having so much fun running around slaying monsters. Just like I did in Diablo 2.

Sure, the mobs could get smarter instead of one-shotting you. But I'm still having fun (Lots of it) running around like a headless chicken with 3 of my friends trying to overcome Vortex Arcane Jailer + rares.

I think I might be having so much fun because I didn't read so much into the game and lore before I started, and I never expected an MMO endgame. I anticipated Diablo3 being a game with a start and finish, with an option to get geared up with some arbitrary reason (Aside from it being fun that is).

I don't really know where I am going with this, but for every forum post where people vent their anger with things they don't like about the game, there's a guy like me, sitting back and enjoying a game which I have waited for since forever, and most importantly not being disappointed by it. It feels great.

Quote from Kalles

What is the difference between Player versus Environment and Player versus Monsters? Isn't monsters a part of environment?

Hush now, this isn't a place for logic, just sit back and enjoy the show, like any reasonable person would.

You? You can't be an issue. It's just what you wrote, that is so ridiculously retarded, and possibly discriminatory, that's laughable.

Isn't his quote pretty much the same as how Christianity for example feels about homoseksuals? Then your statement applies to that aswell.

They're both opinions and therefore not wrong, but I don't see any difference between the two expressions.

Really...? It's ok for people to throw around hateful comments? And you say this like every christian person dislike homosexuals, as though they have no choice of their own because they follow said religion? You honestly don't see the wrong in this?

Also, so just because someone said something bad, does that mean everyone else should follow their lead and start spewing hateful bullshit to everyone? "Because they did it first?" Give me a break.

*sigh* This is the part I realize I'm on an internet forum. For a game no less.

Touche phatosen. Touche.

Right, it's a bit of fun. Completely harmless, which is why I assumed Siaynoq to be religious since he obviously took offence, which is a shame. It's also a shame he's religious, but that's another story.

And why is that a shame? To me, it seems like the real shame is the intolerance of people towards other peoples belief (Like you seem to be), lifestyle or ethnicity.

All subjective. Tbh you can get mad whenever you want. Just realize that you come over as an immature kid and/or retarded when you whinge and whine on forums, crying for "justice". Something to think about.

Then again, generalizing is never good, I'm sure there are some of those who vent in forums are just having a bad day or something. To often things get broken down into black and white, in this example, kids and fanboys

Obvious troll is obvious...

I actually went to vote in that award just to be able to vote *against* Diablo 3.

while D3 is a good game, I don't think it deserves the top spot. Not by a long shot.

Quote from superfula

Here's a shocker...you do have the option not to use the AH. It doesn't affect you AT ALL if you don't.

While you make a perfectly reasonable point in the first sentence, the second one stands quite untrue. The AH affects everyone who ever created a character in Diablo 3. It is an integral part of the game around which many core things, primarily the entire drop rate system, had to be balanced around. Things would have looked very differently if the auction house never existed in the first place. There is just no denying that.

Just copypasting this from my post that I made on the official forums.
TLDR: expressing my disappointment with the new "Battle.net" system compared to the old one used in D2



Remember in Diablo 2 when you were creating a multiplayer game you could choose a title for your session, and other people could see that title in the games list and join if they wanted to?

Well I was kinda shocked when I saw that it was completely removed with the new "Battle.net" and replaced with an entirely new system. It never really bothered me that much at first but now that I've cleared the entire game, the whole aspect of it is really disheartening. All you can do now is choose a quest and get mixed with random people in the process, hoping they want to do the same things you do.

What if I dont want to quest?

What if I just wanna chill or hang out with new people?

What if I want to farm some gear and do nephalem valor runs with randoms?

What if I wanna do whimsyshire?
-Join random public Act 1 quest
-"Hey guys wanna do whimsyshire?"
-"No, gtfo we're questing"

What if I want to do some trading / show off some gear / check out other people's gear?

All this stuff is impossible to do with the new system. I mean it's great when you're actually progressing through the content for the first time, but now that I've done all the quests on all the difficulties, sometimes I just sit at the main menu and think wtf am I supposed to do?

My first instinct is to go out and farm some gear, make some money, build a better character. Well how can I do this if all I can do is choose a damn quest in public games?!
So I say ok, I'll go out and farm some gear solo. WOW, this is REALLY boring. I wanna be running around out there with 3 other people, killing everything in our path and rejoicing over these awesome gear drops. I want to meet new people and make new friends that are interested in doing more than just quests.

So I plead to you Blizzard, please update D3 battle.net so that it was similar to D2 and we can create public games with titles. With this new system you seem to think that all people care about is doing quests. Well to me, the Diablo series is much more than that. It just feels like there is no endgame motivation to do anything once you've cleared all the content.

I've never felt so disconnected to other people in any online multiplayer game I've ever played before.

I'm going to disagree. I say that for every person venting their anger with the game not meeting their expectations, there is 100 people sitting back enjoying the game that they have waited for since forever.
