Wow PvP was playable in 2010 at expo's and was scheduled for "shortly after release"
Now their lieing and saying they originally said the end of the year???
And to add insult to injury are saying it wont be here till 2013?
Horrible public relations....I wonder why when it was playable in 2010 with full arenas with the schedule of launch(later being pushed back to "just after launch", they have failed this badly???
Hope lots were fired over the failure to meet deadlines.
That you fail to read isnt blizzards fault.
LOL im guessing your a new player...
PvP was avalaible in 2010 at expo's blizzard attended. They also stated during beta they were ment to have PvP at release but that it would be pushed back till shortly after release.
Then YOU FAILED TO READ:
""the original hope was this year, but they're focused on making its quality up to their standards."
Which is in the top line of the article were posting about and obviously implys that they dont have the resources to get it out this year, even though they had finished one of the systems and made it playable in 2010 and promised it to customers before release that it would be avalible shortly after.
I guess having the best selling video game of all time still doesn't give you enough money to be able to meet internal or even publically annouced deadlines even with 3 years of pre-development/their obviously small amount of staff
Its a bloody tough multi-billion dollar industry I tells ya.../sigh
Oh and speaking of failing to read:

As we're counting down the days until we're ready to announce a release date for Diablo III, we've come to realize that the PvP game and systems aren't yet living up to our standards. Today, we wanted to let you know that we've made the difficult decision to hold back the PvP Arena system and release it in a patch following the game's launch. After a lot of consideration and discussion, we ultimately felt that delaying the whole game purely for PvP would just be punishing to everyone who's waiting to enjoy the campaign and core solo/co-op content, all of which is just about complete.
While we work on making sure PvP lives up to its full potential, we hope you'll find some consolation in the fact that soon, you'll be having a blast leveling characters, finding items, learning the classes, and perfecting builds…and that when the Arenas do arrive, you’ll be all the better prepared for battle.
When the PvP patch is ultimately ready, it will add multiple Arena maps with themed locations and layouts, PvP-centric achievements, and a matchmaking system that will help you and your team get into fairly matched games quickly and easily. We'll also be adding a personal progression system that will reward you for successfully bashing in the other team's skulls.
We know a lot of you are looking forward to PvP, and we’ll be focusing our post-launch efforts on making sure the Arenas are as brutal, bloody, fast-paced, and awesome as we know they can be. In the meantime, we're in the process of putting the finishing touches on what we think is a truly epic campaign and co-op experience for launch.
We'll have a lot more info to share on the PvP system in the future, and we look forward to the moment we can get the game into your hands.
SHow me in here where it says "shortly after release"?
Heres 3 different sources quoting Jay, and a video of himself saying shortly after release:
http://www.cinemable...unch-40854.html
http://www.tomshardw...ming,14980.html
http://www.mmo-champ...iablo-3-release
So yea, guess you havent been around since beta but we had the developer tell us it would be ready a few months after launch and made a big apology to the community for not meeting their deadline of having it out when the game launches.

Yea Artrage has some great brushes altho the majority of it was drawn with a 1-3pixel brush at 200-300% magnification hehe.
Trying to get enough confidence in my drawing to do a online comic which I might have to give a go in the near future

A wizard looking upon the long journey ahead
Drawn on a iPad in Artrage which doesnt have a straight line or ruler tool so had to freehand all the line work which was a bit of a challenge with a crayon of a stylus but enjoyable coming up with stuff for the background none the less

Irony of calling me blind when I linked to my gear/profile in the first post is palatable.

You miss the point, its not the current cap thats the problem its the one their implementing.
So if they implemented a DPS cap of 200k then you may as well sell your 1200 DPS bow for a 1000DPS one if u got good enough gear.
Its irrelevant want the cap was before for DPS in that scenario much like it is with MF now as you can always get better DPS on your max MF Gear to strive for the best farm set possible!
0
I go to 40k DPS buffed...thats plenty to down mobs with my attack speed as a monk in act 3 and 4 along with 730 AR(1000+ with a barb in grp) , 3% LS, 1800 LoH and of course....over 250% MF before my templar/valor/buffs or any kind of swap.
So yea I have the DPS you want and the Magic find because I worked hard to get it and earn great daily bank because of it.
I suppose the emotion just came out of them changing the end game gear so much....to go from wanting the best farming gear to wanting DPS is just a huge adjustment to me....I always wanted to strive for the best MF gear with good DPS as its a hard market to crack but am sad to see that avenue closed with the addition of the paragon MF cap not letting me go to the 600-700% i should be at with lvl 100.
0
First of all you can go over 400% with a templar and yourself using 25% mf ilvl62 weapons.
The cap by max MF on gear you can have makes perfect sense(current system as you mentioned) and allowed people to strive for 350-400% with valor and/or follower.
All this does is remove the MF bonus of paragon for anyone who has already got sufficient dps to farm act 3 & 4 with MF gear on.
People with this gear should be at 600-700% at 100 paragon levels as they invested the time to get gear with good enough DPS + MF to farm act 3/4.
But obviously blizzard and yourself sadly disagree and prefer caps to limit end game builds.
0
Because with 100 paragon levels i gain nothing with gear thats already rolling in the game.
I lose 300% MF that everyone else gets who didnt invest the time to get DPS gear with MF on it.
If there was no cap I would have no complaints as I could strive for 700% MF or at least making the system have a cap of 600% would reward those who are willing to spend the extra for DPS + MF on some slots which has always been the end game item tier on the market.

Not really, farming is enjoyable as it earns me money that I bank for the expansion/patches etc. DPS numbers mean nothing to me, I just care about being able to down act 3/4 elites in less than 2mins.
*and if you look at my gear you'll notice Im not at max MF on every piece! I still have 100's of millions I would of needed to spend to get the same DPS with max MF! That would of been a massive farm(but luckily not stopped by any cap if I had so desired to invest the time to get it)
I figured since this is primarily a PvE game that a end game farming build would be choice for me as it allows me to be just under most peoples DPS while getting better loot(due to significant time invested).
So yea, no I dont want more DPS, I want more MF and always will because thats how you out farm the competition and make bank once you have a reasonable level of damage for yourself.
0
I would be at over 700% MF with 100 paragon levels if there wasnt a cap.
I dont know why your pulling out this 25% loss number...Maybe your not calculating in the extra 300% of paragon into my gear to work out the loss im talking about.
The point is there is already gear rolling in the game that puts you over 375% WITHOUT SWAPPING and still rocking act 3/4 inferno yet now your better buying blues with max MF and using AHK to swap them inbetween elite kills to save yourself over 200million gold.
DPS + MF was a great system, sad to see it ruined by a cap but yea made my point clear throughout my posts in this thread so those who get it will an those who dont well....probably arnt wearing any MF gear
//in a PvE game thats all about killing monsters for loot I dont get why there is any hate against me for wanting the best farming set at the end of the day. I enjoy making money and rolling good gear. I get that others enjoy looking at higher DPS numbers and killing things a bit quicker. Different strokes?

Starting to convince me there
Yea as you can imagine/experienced with your very similar gear set that good drops are common with 350%+ MF and I think the first 3 weeks are going to be rather epic in terms of trying to make back what we spent with our gear.
Farming enough legendaries this early on could potentially get us our loss back but damn its scary knowing that im going to have to pull a seriously hardcore week next week to earn before the market floods.
I honestly dont believe there wont be some exp exploit to get you to 100 paragon levels fast within the first few weeks because well...theres been exp exploits since launch and after playing MMO's since they were just in text format I know players be crafty =P .
But yea we hopefully have 3 weeks to a month to put our gear to use before it needs to be sold to retain some sort of value.
Frankly just wish there wasnt a hard cap and they just reduced magic find on all items by 50% like they did with the IAS nerf.
Least then we could still strive for max dps + max MF gear =P, but alas they dont want us to have fun that way which I guess is fair enough considering its their game and I guess they can do what they want with it as people like you and me are without a doubt a minority.

Its simple enough even you should get it, ill explain it another way.
You reach "said dps cap", your 1% of the playerbase. Lets say your dps is 10000
Devs now say that DPS Max is 5000, and you get an extra 5000 from paragon levels.
So now your investment of time to get the extra 5000 DPS and be in the top of the community is worthless.
Get it ?

Ahhh said so beautifully.
Cant wait to repost this along with my argument to promote a rethink on the "hard cap" on the official forums once it lets me login again =P
