This is an honest request after months of playing Diablo 3.
I have been playing/ loving the Diablo series since by dad bought a Diablo I demo CD rom at a grocery store a million years ago.
When I saw the Diablo 3 trailer, I bought a brand new computer to support it. Two computers later, Diablo 3 was released, and I have been playing it on and off since with very mixed feelings.
One thing that I feel has not been brought up very often is the idea of reward for quests completed. I know comparing Diablo 3 to Diablo 2 is a common occurance, and often to dubious conclusions, but regardless of that; making quests worth doing is something very much worth looking into.
Even a long quest that resulted in a one time reward of (for example)":
-A 1% increase to attack speed?
-A 1% increase to crit. chance?
-A 5% inrease to crit. dmg?
-A +10 point increase to a attribute of the players choosing?
-A 1-10% chance of a unique/ set item being rewarded?
-A random gem drop (like hellforge in D2)?
SOMETHING to make quests worth doing? SOMETHING to make the game feel rewarding.
Which brings me to another point of interest;
Ledgendaries. Another controversial, but integral subject.
I (and I think most people) feel that finding a legendary item should be a rewarding prospect. However, the current system with all it's random rolls and luck result in (in my experience) something along the lines of a 1 in 100 chance of a legendary being even remotely useful/ valueable. 1 in 100 being a generous ratio.
perhaps the rolls could be tightened up a bit to SLIGHTLY work in the players favor of a Ledgendary item to be worth the effort of hunting it? A slightly higher chance toward worthwhile attributes as opposed to useless ones? The same idea should go for crafting (If an alternative to the GAH/RMAH is sought after, which I think should be).
This post/ spelling/ grammer is all over the place due to a few Friday night drinks, but I assure you (this being my first post ever...) the ideas and advice are sincere and come from someone who has loved this franchise more than any other for my entire gaming career. Just want to see it bloom into it's full potential. Thanks, if you manged to read this far!
