PS On a side note all complainers should try HC if they haven't yet. Lots of problems you guys complain about simly don't exist on HC so far. For example - GAH. There are no hundreds of Stormshields,etc. It's still hard to find decent gear, and much harder for decent prices. And you still can make some good money with finding mediocre rare/legendary.

This is very much true. Softcore becomes very boring when you try HC and see how good and exciting this game can actually be.

Zerging packs and dying dozens of times in the process is just not good gameplay. The punishment for dying is extremely low and Blizzard is obviously very aware of that.
Also, itemization in it's current state needs a lot of work. Obsolete legendaries are in my opinion one of their biggest mistakes so far. No matter how much they don't want the focus to be on them, legendary items should always be much, much better than magic items of the same-ish level, which right now is just not the case.

Another big problem is people becoming disenchanted way too fast because they don't need to grind items 'til Inferno. You just buy them cheaply on the AH, and that takes away from the fun of looting it yourself, while also killing the prospect of grinding. Then you reach Inferno and the prices for good items go astronomically high, but at the same time you aren't getting much (any) good loot while farming the first act. And then Act 2 destroys your hopes from the start, especially if you play melee.
Everyone switches to the same tanky build and just hopes to progress with as little deaths as possible. All those spells and runes become obsolete and are almost never used again, which is a shame. Hopefully the next big patches are gonna be fixing a lot of this things, because there should be many more viable builds for end game content.

By the first glimpses they provided us, it seems Blizzard is listening to the constructive criticism and is rapidly improving upon the game, and that gives me faith that Diablo 3 will vastly improve over the next few months. Hopefully they won't prove me wrong.

I didn't check IGN so get off your high horse. I normally just check gamespot and metacritic for reviews so thats why I mentioned those. The hate is very valid if it's how a person feels about it.

And I could have picked a number of reviews that gave it a perfect 100, proceeding to claim it to be the greatest game in the history of time. Reviews mean nothing, and most of the scores were downgraded due to the major issues with the realms in the first days of the release, not to mention how everyone wanted the game to fail because of the hype and hating on Diablo became very mainstream even before the game was out.
I really don't care how you feel, and you are entitled to your own opinion, but next time if you wish to express your hate make some valid arguments to support it, other than calling the people who enjoy the game mindless morons, brainwashed by Blizzard into liking their product.

Quote from Kildeer888

Most people are in denial about the game. You are so f*****d in the a** by Blizz that you can't take any criticism what so ever about the game you waited SOOOO long for.. Get real people, it's not that great a game if you take into account the amount of development that went into it. It only scored an 88 on Metacritic for instance. And 8.5 on Gamespot.

And reviews aren't subjective at all... riiight.
D3 also got 9.5 on IGN, but you don't care mentioning that. The game IS flawed but it really is not nearly as bad as some people are claiming it to be. It is better than D2 and D1 combined, and is yet to receive it's first major patch.
All the hate is extremely over exaggerated.

Interesting though how "the twats" are not the ones throwing childish insults around.

Quote from Klusterboy

you sir suck!

i got my refund also back. 60€ for this shit wasnt worth. and yeah i played ~100h, was end act 3 inferno and sold my items and gold for 90€. so what now fanboys?

Yes, he seems very mature indeed.



Also, R3form, it actually does matter how much time one spends playing the game, because not only did these guys play through it on three separate difficulties and a good chunk of the fourth, they also spent at least a whole week of their lives doing so. And then proceeded to complain how they didn't like it in the first place, bashed the game online and demanded their money back. That is like Douchebaggery 101 right there.

I say good riddance. And the same goes for all the other spineless people out there who are asking for refunds after hundreds of hours spent playing the game.

Give this guy votes up

I tried this last night and out of four times the cellar spawned there were no elites or treasure goblins in there. Guess they fixed it.

Quote from Ronninrogue

finished it in 5 hours without rushing, doing side exploration & looting barrels ect

Epic troll. I've been playing for over 5 hours and I'm still in act I, exploring everything as I go. So, no.

So, a while back there was a post with the datamined list of player titles:

http://www.diablofans.com/topic/28004-player-titles-revealed/

Now, I only got to play up to lvl 14 and I can't seem to find any news or topics anywhere on the forums about this, so I'll have to ask here. Are there any of these titles actually in-game at this point? Or have they not been implemented?


Thanks in advance, guys.




Also, the game is freaking amazing.

No. Just no.

Lich King's helmet, now that's awesome.

Punch Diablo - ftw

luck should be rewarded - and it WAS rewarded.. by access to the beta.

...logic. it's your friend.

You only foolishly presume it was mere luck. Maybe I applied for beta the moment it became possible. Maybe I participated in more than a dozen shitty contests around the internet just to get my key and experience the game before the others. And maybe I won one of them.
Take your biased logic elsewhere. There is nothing wrong with mine.

Maybe I entered into untold number of contests, maybe I also signed up for the beta the instant it was available, and maybe I STILL wasn't as LUCKY as you.

It still comes down to luck, no matter how you want to dress it up. There is something wrong with your "logic" - the fact that it ISN'T logic. Your reward was your opportunity to participate in the beta.

Maybe some people would've loved to have been in on the ground floor and helped Blizzard build this fantastic game, and didn't get the chance. And maybe those people feel a little slighted that the fact that no matter how hard they tried, no matter how many contests they entered, they didn't get into the beta. I never once complained that I wasn't in it, because it was based on luck, and I just didn't have any at the time. That's nobody's fault. But I should continue to be penalized for my bad luck even after the game is released.

It's not THAT big of a deal. I'm just saying it hurts a little bit. So piss off. You're wrong.

Whatever dude, Blizzard already released a statement that clearly explains their LOGIC behind the Feats of Strenght and the ways that they can be achieved in their games. If you don't like it, fine. But they have been doing this same thing for over five years now and people are still crying over it.
Your 'logic' applies only to a perfect world of universal fairness where no one is ever screwed out of anything. Except that is not how things work, and you seem intelligent enough to already know that very well.
I ain't here to fight you, but you just come out as someone who is very jaded about this matter. Let it go man, it ain't gonna change.

/condolence high-five

I just want the world to know, that i have a sandy, sandy, sandy, sandy vagina. And that i am outraged that i wont get this perfectly meaningless footnote attached to my account. So that i may sit in public chat channels, hoping my profile will be inspected, and have others stare jealously at an achievement called "One of the Chosen" and recognize me for the very special and cool person that i am. Thanks blizzard, you have ruined my life. I no longer see a point in living.

You win, good sir.

Quote from Sikor

It's not about the word "Chosen" or something. And I agree that it's worthless BUT there are some people in the world who like to collect achievements and feats. I personally had more than 50 in wow and not getting this one only because I didn't have access to beta actually pisses me off.
There is a topic about it on reddit also and people do not look happy about this either.

But WoW also had a few feaths of strenght that were never available to the vast majority of the players base, more precisely the Blizzcon ones. I never really was mad because some people had them and I didn't, even though WoW is massively competitive and elitist, and I'm an achievement whore myself. I would mostly smile and move along with my game. Can't see why there is so much negativity regarding something as irrelevant as this, that is all.
