    I just find it funny people are so upset over this. It's a blue bar that moves right. Now it moves slightly slower. Cannot fathom how this got blown so far out of proportion, since XP grinding is such a small part of what makes this game worth playing. Now, if they halve legendary drop rates, we'd have something to talk about.

    I can't be alone here. There must be other people who really couldn't care less how much XP monsters give you.

    Read this nifty thread. It should clear up the mystery of why 2h are rolling so badly.

    ^^What SinnerBenkei said basically.

    posted a message on Why the Barb and WOTB is getting nerfed for Reaper of Souls
    That's the thing with any balance discussion I come across. It's always clear that the person arguing has a certain way they play, prefer certain skills, and aren't capable of seeing the broader picture. Just the other day, someone was complaining that the barb has resource issues because they can't spam Sprint endlessly. Now I'll be the first to admit Fury gen could be better, but that argument is just a non-starter.

    posted a message on A little Heart to Heart about RoS...

    Posts like these only appeal to those who are already inclined to hate the game. I could write 100 pages on how the font they chose has ruined the game irreversibly, and it'd get parroted around by the gilted ex-lovers of Diablo.

    The Tias (who made a far better post) and Droth have made the following points:

    1. Drop rates are too low.

    2. Enemy damage too high.

    3. Enemies have too many HP.

    4. CC effects need to be nerfed.

    5. Rifts need to be more rewarding.

    Hardly game breaking when read in a format that doesn't evoke mass hysteria.

    And taken as whole, all this says is, "You'll have to play the game for a while before you find all the best items and faceroll content." Oh no!!! And if it's really really upsetting you that you might have to play the game longer than 20 hours before you have everything, then perhaps the ARPG genre just isn't for you. Because no matter which of these games you play, whether it's Torchlight, PoE, or even Diablo 2, if you want to have the best of the best items, you're going to have to play the game for a little while.

    This is such an obvious (and wonderful) idea, I have trouble commenting on it other than to say: Well, duh!

    Could we also have it take into account +elemental damage? Cool, thanks.

    posted a message on My thoughts: PTR

    I will keep my analysis short because it's all been said already.

    My favorite change out of everything, is small but actually quite huge, I think. It's that drops no longer make you feel like the game kicked you in the nuts.

    Even if an item is not useable, (which is still common) at least it's not a 200 DEX, 100 STR, 300 DPS wand great big middle finger from the game. I think this makes the game more bearable for me to play in longer duration, since the "pretty good" loot gives you some hope that something actually will drop sooner or later.

    Hating the game is one thing, but when the discussion veers off into, "Do aliens exist?" type of territory, there's no point in continuing the discussion any longer.

    People throw out these wild accusations, and when people have no rebuttal to it (because it's simply unprovable one way or the other) they smugly nod, and say, "Facts!" (Metacritic doesn't verify any of your claims btw.)

    Well, Mr. Alex Jones, why not jump the shark completely and tell us that Blizzard is a front for a secret government and that Obama is their puppet leader?

    Oh well, at least it's amusing. Sorry for derail, let's get back to discussing the tangible flaws of Diablo 3.

    It would be an impressive free patch.

    I am willing to bet that, if it were a free patch, you wouldn't be calling it "impressive" but, instead, you'd be finding something else to bitch about.

    The old standby: "All of this should have been in the game at release."
