Yay someone is under the whether and brought this horse skeleton back onto the table again...
Seriously, if by any means I get to make a game, I'll introduce one single boss for the greatest curiosity bearing hardcores:
Name: Rickroller
Ability: Instant death, the boss will dance on the corpse of your hero and will possibly defile it.
Bonus Stage: After resurrection(unless the game sends you straight into valhalla) he will stalk you and kill you every 30 minutes, and will repeats its ability, and the ability is in sync with a timer meaning you need to bear through it all.
Now that'd be the most the best hardcore game of all times...
We can only speculate, that's right. But usually some players are a lot better than the devs... Also they said Inferno will be soloable, thus a 4 man team with good teamwork will have an easier time.
Not necessarily, in coop the content scales up accordingly with the number of additional players.
Thanks to all of those supporting me in this thread. I hope you know the one thing in our way is Blizzards unwillingness to support a major part of Diablo 3, the PvP. Also the people who believe whatever Blizzard says. I think that is bad management on their part, because if they don't the game won't be able to flourish. That us why I created thus thread to convince people of this and through them Blizzard.
I have never posted anything I would go back on. I support both PvE and PvP and believe you can have competitive PvP without affecting the rest if the game. You guys seem to overlook the fact that you are greatly affecting the PvP.
As for the specifics of balancing the game without nerfing the PvE, Blizzard can do it but is not going to do so because of ridiculous reasons. Such as it is "confusing to the players" and is insulting to the community.
I have watched and played the PvP and I am certain it would make a great eSports, to play and to watch. Once everyone plays it I think they would feel the same.
When the PvP comes out I will enjoy talking about every detail about how and why it will make a good eSport when others can also experience the PvP and not feel satisfied about it.
If your not here to support this thread then you must be greedy PvE'ers. Seriously you already have the game for a whole year without PvP. You already have your Inferno and your two expansions that will come out. What more could you want that you are already given? All we want is a fully functioning PvP system, not some half-ass casual crap. Instead of respecting the thread on the PVP FOURMS and trying to support it, you come in here with only one solid argument, "Blizzard said so". I don't go to your threads and say "inferno is not casual enough" or some other crap just to make you mad. Frankly you guys are killing the game. Will it be good? Ya. Will it be great? Not by a long shot. Without competitive PvP I doubt they will get past the first expansion or even that far. They got their golden egg and they don't want to share.
If Jay Wilson would have said "ya it is going to be a very competitive PvP", there would be no threads on "why can't it be a casual PvP". I could point all the blame towards Jay Wilson but really it is all of you people who listen to that crap.
1 - It will cost them more money
2 - Concept of balance is a problem of at least 10 degrees of non-linearity, meaning you will at least need 10 solutions super-imposed to satisfy these equilibrium points.
Ex: Right now, Barbarian is the weakest class in sustaining a proper burst without sacrificing an important Passive with Wizard having a ridiculous amount of burst and Monk having an insane amount of survivability.
3 - Combine the above two with the fact that they either need to;
a ) Make a separate class design for PvP
b ) Don't bother with (a) and butcher PvE for the sake of balance, while choosing whether to change the whole game systems or not for not breaking the game.
In the end, it means more and more money to spend on it, and the game not having such a legacy in PvPing they choose not to.
I am a greedy PvE'er when you are an imbecile of a PvPer trying to ruin the game I have been waiting for years due your blind Gladiatorism that you can satisfy anywhere with your CoD or BF series. Take your epeen-based gaming elsewhere, probably Titan will be a game to satify such players.
Well, majority of players will not finish the game 4 times. Not many casual players finish their games on high difficulty. Still they went to alot of effort to create thoes difficulties for minority. Same goes for hardcore mode. Majority of the playerbase will not use RMAH either. Please stop acting like the voice of majority. Most parts of this game were not made for casual players, so if you are one, you probably won't last till release of PvP anyway.
Once again the genre of players labeled as being "casual" is recognized as many things, however, the ones not attempting challenges not really one of them. In WoW, the concept of casual play spans from the fact that they cannot really organize their life around a game due to required co-op play.
However, for Diablo the game is equivalently a solo-game as it is a co-op game.
TL;DR: Just because I play the game for 3-4 hours a week does not indicate that I won't be climbing way up to the Inferno level Diablo.
