Diablo 3 is neither broken, nor dying

Actually, you're right. This is more of a list of my grievances with the game, rather than the game actually being completely broken.

Concerning "value" of playing video games: softcore and hardcore Diablo are different means to the exact same end - to be entertained. This comes in a wide variety of formats, from basic thrill of the hunt, to socializing, to adrenaline-pumping fights to the death, to ecstacy from finding that incredibly rare item, etc. That is the end-all, be-all for gaming. Nothing more, nothing less. Your argument that hardcore does not meet these criteria because you lose your pixels at the end is not only flawed, it's flat out wrong.

And this is where you are wrong. People play games for different reasons. A lot of people don't play just to "have fun" and screw around. Many people play to win, others play to make money, some play because they like having their efforts rewarded in the end. This is where hardcore falls flat.

Note: I do not deny that some people enjoy wasting their own times, and from that enjoyment they derive a sense of satisfaction with hardcore diablo. I, however, am not one of these people.

do you guys wanna hear from the #1 WD in the world in HC? ok, so here's my 2c:

WD is so OP as it is. really depends on how you play it. i can tank, i can dish out solid amount of damage, and i can cc quite well. some skills are underused, i agree. but even if they buff them, WDs are still going to be a skill-based character. better players are just going to be better than most, even than most classes. so most people think WD are bad only because they are bad at playing it. so for me, no changes is ideal.

Why should we care about #1 HC DPS that's too afraid to leave a1? The #2 dps guy has full cleared. Of course you have no problem in a1, a fresh lvl 60 can faceroll a1. You don't have any experience past a1 on any character (at least on that account) so your opinion has no merit backing it.

i'm pvp-doctor.

Why do people call it DPS (damage per second)? I always called it "damage range", like it was displayed in Diablo II. Why would you care about how much damage per second you deal, when there are abilities that deal damage over time, burst damage, and various other things like life steal or crits. Maybe I'm just old school, but when did it start being called DPS?

As long as they don't obsolete or trivialize the MF on existing gear. I just completed a complete re-gearing of my monk today to the tune of 30M gold and every piece that could have MF has it. If that affix becomes suddenly useless I'm gonna have a cow LOL. Not that my gear still won't be good but I could only imagine what better combat stats I could have had without paying the MF premium on each piece. Having said that, I'm excited to see what they have in mind for us.
