Each time i read David Brevik and interview i just shake my head.... This guy is riding on his Diablo legacy to get jobs and interviews like he is the best thing to ever happened in the gaming industry but he never delivered another hit after Diablo 2. His insights are just dull, like saying: "the water is wet".
But i guess content creators need to find stuff to talk about....
I can't wait to play the same build dictated by insane damage multiplier but with primal stats! So different, so much build creation. Let's just stack difficulties and tiers of item, that will make the game more different and reward build diversity.
Meh, as much as i'm tired of D3, i would have liked to play the anniversary event tonight to distract myself... damn EU times.
I didn't have expectations and i'm still disappointed. Cool, a new class we can max out in few days with a set and paragon grind all over again. Time to move on.
I just want to know what's going on with the Diablo franchise. The radio silence we had these few months has been really depressing.
Anything would be nice to hear at Blizzcon, just to give some peace of mind. 
I love how many speculation videos we had this few weeks talking about D4 or D2HD being announced at Blizzcon. Let's just bring the hype on absolute nothing.
I understand there is a huge lack of news but between job openings, d4 dice and realms of evil, the updates have reached conspiracy quality... It will not help the few left that are really hoping for something great in the near future.
So, 3 auguments at 50+ again... just kill me.
It's ok, i'm not that into boosting and i'm already done with all the achievements for now. Thanks for the offer
Well, at least this time i managed to finish the journal
God, i how i hated leveling up a HC char to 70.... boring
I think i'll toss the gift this season. It was a novelty but i think it made the game go too fast for my taste. The best part is finding and completing your first set and moving up difficulties one step at a time while Season 5 rewarded you for petty task and told you: "Good job, go TX now" "pat on the head".
I remember starting Diablo 2 before the release of Diablo 3 and crashing on me every 5-10 minutes with "unhandled exception" error.....
Hopefully when nostalgia will hit me for an evening i will be able to play it without getting booted out of my game because the software is old as hell <.<
Personal memo for season 5: ignore the meta and enjoy the ride.

Please. someone post it on the main page before the comment section or the forum becomes a flame fest... ops, too late!
Reading the reddit post from Wyatt, it just says what we already know; builds are built around items and let's face it, all Hota Barbs are using Gavel and they will still use Gavel as their main weapon, with or without the +200% bonus damage. What are we discussing here precisely?
Well, i think it was obvious it counted console versions, still a lot of copies sold and the game is getting better by the patch, in my opinion.
Can we have 2.3 soon by the way? I have the itch to return to Diablo 3 a couple of weeks, or maybe more, but i really dislike trials and the current hellfire event
I would just increase the drop rate of keys at 100%, that would make the process a lot less annyoing, expecially when looking for Act 2 warden.
No need to make the amulet always borderline good with a guaranteed socket or chd/cc, come on.

I'm not surprised by the shutdown since updates on the franchise became sporadic and Diablo 3 stale.... But that doesn't make me feel less sad than i am right now.
I knew this site since Diablo 3 was first announced and damn, i browsed it daily to look for news. Then Diablo 3 1.0 was released and we know how the game was back then: not too good, but we hanged on, discussed how to make the game better and still farming our asses off to trade on the AH, grind Paragon levels for Magic Find (remember that?) or just punish ourselves with some Solo Self Found Hardcore mode (i did it).
Then RoS was released and that was the peak moment for Diablo 3 and Diablo Fans: everyone, myself included, posted their own build, be it janky or not but still viable for Torment 4 to 6; we had Dfans clans in both US and EU; we made parties to farm rifts and we chatted all the time.... Too bad it didn't last as long as i hoped. Greater Rifts arrived and they pidgeonholed us into meta builds and we hoped Season resets would help giving us a breath of fresh air once in a while, but they didn't last either. Obviously after all the scrapped features from expansion n° 2 were implemented in RoS, updates became slow.... to sporadic to basically nill and that made many of the players i met on the site and clan stop playing, myself included.... It's a shame, but Diablo 3 couldn't manage to live on the legacy of Diablo 2....
Well, i'll probably still click on the bookmarked main page of this site after the shutdown for nostalgia, hopefully the archive will stay here.
Thanks guys for the great time.

If you are using the 64bit client, try leaving all community chats. I had some strange fps drops too on a 970 (i mean, more weird than usual but D3 always did that) and by leaving those chats it fixed for me.
Otherwise launch the 32bit client.

New players can buy D3X2 without buying Vanilla and Ros, which is a nice saving while, hopefully, Diablo 3 will go into a more RPG direction like the predecessor and other games of the genre out there right now.

Well, i can say the item hunt and character building, both aspects that were butchered patch after patch in RoS.
In Diablo 2 and PoE i can enjoy the leveling process because each time i know the build i envisioned (read: copied) is shaping up and at key level i get the talent that gives my character a nice boost.
Then i can always find a good item in the lower levels to keep me company instead of tossing away 2-3 levels after, which requires 10 minutes if you are slow, because the damage stats increase so much.
That's why i was happy for seasons but D3, in this state, doesn't bring the good feeling of journey while starting a new character because everything is the same and it doesn't matter until you reach max level, while i never reached the cap in D2 or PoE but i enjoyed farming while leveling up.
Basically, i never had an endgame in Diablo 2 and i never felt the need for one.
So, what i want from Diablo? The rpg and character building that was lost when it was decided that the game had to be build around max level and items dictating how your character has to be played, which lead to the loot hunt to being almost removed completly because base spells are terrible without augumentations and the insane difficulty stack lead to give everyone a fast way to experience the "endgame", which became a paragon grind and gem leveling.

Well, i like only 3 classes: demon hunter, barbarian and crusader and it's time for the flail and shield warrior to be played this season.

Still undecided. I love DH but i dislike UE even if it's the free set this season and it's the best for farming and do GR with minimal effort; what happened to Natalya RoV?
Crusader.... i like the class but it's sets are meh at best. I have no intention to give me carpal tunner with Blessed Hammer stutter step while spamming for abilities or be a Punish bot or wait for Bombardment cd if i ever get full ancient Invoker with LoN.
Barbarian.... i loved the Leap Quake build but really disliked the IK-Raekor hybrid because it was too spammy.
AAAND i don't really play the other classes that much, i just don't understand their spells and mechanics.
So yeah, i think it will be the worst season for me.

I'm in a mindset i wouldn't play season if extra tabs weren't a reward. I like the combat and i like farming for items... if they weren't dropping from the sky. I guess Diablo 3 GR endgame isn't what i look for in the long run in an ARPG but looking for rare items....

Always one more than what we have! /s
I never had too much problems with my storage because i'm only attached to Demon Hunter and i keep the various sets updated while other classes only have one set of (bad) gear and i forget.
I have good memories of Torchlight's statsh system with one chest for your current character while another is shared so i think for D3 we could use 1 or 2 tabs per character with a 3-4 tabs for shared gear and materials?

A not opened chest is a lost chance for a Forgotten Soul!

Going back to DH. Last season i wanted to play the Shadow Mantle set but played a Barb to climb some GR with a friend so never had the chance to try Impale build outside a fast conquest. Now i'll take that chance and play a bit more relaxed.

I'll play new season and try to complete the journal again but i won't try hard as i did this season; it's extremely taxing with GR fishing and Paragon grind.
No point on playing No-Season because i'll just skip the gearing part with fully decked characters and it's just the same thing, GR fishing and endless Paragon grind.
I just wish the item hunt would last more than 2-3 days....
Edit: i'll asnwer your questions, totally skipped those <.<'

This is the season i tryharded the most, without a doubt.... but i think giving a free complete set for easy tasks was a bit too much. It basically killed the early progression of the item hunt and forced players into a playstyle from max level. That's my main gripe, everything else is just the same old Diablo with paragon grind and GR fishing.
Auguments are still a good idea but key farming has to go sooner or later.

Good bost from Midknite.
I would say that after a while i switched to Hota Globe from WW/Sol barb because my Twister Wizard pal suffered a lot during a single target boss and Hota with Solanium is the best in that case.
The biggest cons i think there are for this build are less survability even with high level Esoteric and Mutilation, Fury management (if by chance you hit more than 3 monsters, you dump a lot of fury and lose Aquila's buff) and monsters are more spread out.

Yes, i did to that e-mail adress and after a day the botter was temp banned and his character roll backed a month or so, the time he started botting.
The in-game report feature is useless.
Why did i do that? Because it rubs me the wrong way seeing players farming infinite amount of keys, paragon and cube materials when they are not even at home while i do through those chores to make my character better to tackle down Greater Rifts.

I wanted to do Master of the Universe but Wastes set dungeon is retarded then i realized: "I'm an idiot, i can easily gamble two sets for another class and faceroll my way for Years of War!" And that's what i did. Piece of cake.
