Okay, I have heard numerous amazing ideas on how to improve this game but the truth is, none of these will get into the game because Blizzard does not care about the game as much as we'd like to. I can clearly see the tendency of the updates they call "patches": they update the game very, very slightly, here is how I mean this:
Ancient items: clearly not a hard thing to program, does not take a lot of time at all -> players have more things to farm, look forward to. Win-win for Blizzard.
The whole expansion pack, but let's say Rifts in general: they consist of the zones and mobs that have been in the game since release (12th May, 2012), not a hard thing to make, does not take that much time either, win-win for Blizz again.
Paragon level: Now I genuinely believe nobody would play this game if it wasn't for paragon levels. Clearly didn't take a lot of time to figure it out and implement it, win-win.
For me these are just not exciting things at all. I have no idea how they can be for someone, imagine unique events for unique bosses, zones, items that can only be obtainable in those time frames, etc... What are paragon points? You get .1 cc! Such wow!
I can go on all day long, they are just trying to change/add little things to the game, nothing new. I come back to play this game from time to time but I get bored of it in a week. This really could have been the best ARPG ever but it failed on every level. I have absolutely no idea how can people play this game every day for hours when there is nothing competitive about it, nothing new, you get geared for T6 in a couple of days and that's it. You are a min-maxer? Cool, by the time you'd get perfect hellfire amulets, ancient pieces, etc, there is a new expansion or another set of "Antique" Legendaries with 30% increased stats of those Ancient ones. I'm not hating, just saying, the community have had so many amazing ideas that would make players stick to this game and have something different to do or look forward to every day but the truth is none of them will be added to the game cause they just simply don't care or don't want to/have the time to add these things.
The main purpose in this game for me has always been to make some extra cash off of RMAH so I played the AH tycoon for a long time. I quit a couple of weeks before 1.0.5 but this patch has been really fun so far and I'm enjoying a whole new aspect of the game ( at least new for me ). The main goal for now is to make my character as good as it can be.
I had no gear when I logged in on 1.0.5 but had like 8 million gold so I bought the gear I have now. Since then I made ~350million gold by farming only, so I'm looking for some help to upgrade my barb the most efficient way. I haven't really upgraded any character in diablo 3 at all, I have never really cared about gear as I said before. Now that I do I have no idea where to start it or how to do it efficiently. Should I get one really good piece or upgrade as much as possible?
Could you please help me out with this? The budget I have at the very moment is 350 million gold. The main goal is to get as much dps as possible while retaining 40-45k HP ( if that is the amount required to do any act any mp with great defensive stats ) + the required defensive stats. I'd say PvP is slightly affecting the gearing process for me, but for now, I want to retain just enough HP + the AR/LoH/LS/Armor stats. I won't farm MP10 but it is something I would find fun to do every now and then. (Just an example for this: I was looking for an IK chest because I think 2 set bonus is a must have, but the way I was looking for one is like 190+ str 80+ vit and if possible Phys Res with All Res. so what I want to say with this is an example for how I want to gear my char and retain the required HP pool and stuff as I explained earlier. So I do not want balanced stats on an IK chest like 150 vit and str. I want as much dps as possible so 190+Str and 80+vit)
Sorry for long exlaining, I just want to make sure you understand how I want to gear my char.
