    posted a message on WD: do you think we will be dissapointed with 1.0.4?
    @Ruppgu I agree that the other classes got big perks to encourage a variety of class builds, but the WD only got fixes that should have been there in the first place. Blizzard did take your suggestion to fix the mana problem on the WD. You complained that every other class does not cost resources to use their primary attack (i.e. Splinters) and in most cases it actually increases their resources to use your primary attack. The WD is the only class that loses mana/resource when using the primary. The fix is kind of funny though... You HAVE to use one of your valuable Passives in order to gain resources with primary attacks. In essence, to be equal with other classes, you have to give up one of three passives. That is hardly an equal playing field. All of the other classes got a boost to DPS and the WD lost a passive slot. Wow!

    On the positive side, the pet situation may be fixed and that is huge. But that is not a boost like the other classes got, that is a fix.

    I think Blizzard would be wise to give the cheaters there own private network, where that account has no link to the or any Auction house. The cheaters can play amongst themselves. Seems questionable to have people spend $60 on a game and then completely block them from playing it.

    Very disturbing. These hackers have also penetrated the Hardcore Auction House AND have duplicated the mouse. Oh, the humanity!

    posted a message on Diablo 4 Fans
    Star Wars has real geeky fans. They memorize every line from the movies, waited decades between installments, and love to dress in character, even when they get married.



    Star Trek has one of the most annoying fan base, because they memorize every frickin stat, and then have nerdy arguments in Klingon about how fast Defiant class space ship travels vs the Zodiac class.

    Now, I'm starting to worry about Diablo fans. Let's face it, everyone who goes to this website is a fan. Whether they're complaining or praising. And if I were to describe the typical post on Reddit, Diablofans, or on Battle.net forums...it would be, "I've played this game for 400 hours and it sucks. They keep breaking the game. Just when I thought it was already broken, they break it again."

    TBH, I have a level 59 WD in Hell and have not started Inferno yet. I'm having fun. I guess it comes down to one question, is the game fun for you?

    posted a message on D3 taken apart.
    The problem here is the crystal clear Feng Shui rule violation:

    A bedroom door shall NEVER face a stair case (source).



    Stairs should not end at a door, such as the front door, or face a bedroom door. This creates poison arrows or killing chi (double that if a mirror reflects the staircase). If a staircase stops at a bedroom door, it can cause energy to drain away from the residents of the bedroom, causing financial and health-related problems related to low energy, such as low thyroid or depression.

    posted a message on I love this game...until it came out!
    Now I REALLY love this game. I've put in over 60 hours and there is so much more that I want to do. Whimshire, Inferno, use different characters, hardcore, and more.

    Before the game came out Diablofans was all about Diablo Fans. Now it is about there was a change to the game and it's worse now.

    Here's the future: every patch will include a nerf.

    As one blue poster said, it is easier to trim down abilities than to OP other skills to match up, because then things get out of hand.

    I play a WD, and can spam powerful zombie bears all day long doing over 1000% weapon damage. It's just a matter of time until that gets nerfed. And that's a good thing, because then I will actually have a choice between different builds, versus going with the OBVIOUS choice.

    Point is, keep a look at the big picture. Enjoy the game as a work in progress and be happy that Blizzard is still working on the game. When you see road construction near you, be happy that the government is improving your neighborhood, don't complain, "Pity me, there is more traffic here. Why are they doing this to me? I loved them glorious pot holes."

    Diablo 3 is under construction. And for the better.

    posted a message on D2 Fans are Softcore
    The D2 fans are softcore, the D1 fans are a little bit more legit, I personally am a Rogue fan.


    • In Rogue, every game is hardcore. You get one life and when you die, you die. No Tears. No calling Blizzard for account rollbacks.
    • Diablo 3 has arguably better graphics, but levels feel much more random in Rogue. Each dungeon is a different shape and the caverns connecting the dungeons twist and turn in unique configurations. I never saw the same dungeon twice in Rogue. In contrast, I keep seeing the same backdrops in D3.
    • Rogue's monsters were made up of letters and the player use his imagination which makes the game timeless, where as at some point Diablo 3 will look dated.
    D2 fans love to complain about the AH, the loot, etc. And they're right, but the solution is not to go back to D2 or D1, it's go back to Rogue.

    posted a message on SoulBound or no Soulbound?
    Should rares & legendary items be Soulbound in Diablo 3, meaning once that item is equipped, then it can no longer be traded, sold at auction, or used by another character.

    The advantage of Soulbound items is it would reduce the supply of legendary items. RIght now they never perish and the volume of them will keep increasing as MILLIONS of people are playing the Diablo slot machine. Diablo has gold sinks, which remove gold from the game, because they prevent mass inflation (the devaluation of currency), why not have item sinks to prevent mass devaluation of legendary items?

    posted a message on Bashiok lied about character names not being displayed in-game, instead we get battle-tags everywhere !
    I believe Blizzard is sacrificing their Diablo experience to build up their Social Network. They know most people want their character's names displayed prominently. However, by highlighting the battletag, you can easily find "friends" on the official Diablo Forum, which requires you to use your Battletag, and then you can find him on OTHER Blizzard games far more easily. However, there are other ways to do this without breaking the immersion in the game.

    Blizzard has a history of doing awkward things with their forums. At one point during the Starcraft Beta, Blizzard said they were going to require you to use your real name in the forums; however, after a rash of complaints, Blizzard backtracked. Hopefully they backtrack here.
