1) You can upgrade one affix at a time, and most endgame items have 6 affixes. So essentially it's rather pointless. You might as well say "keep all your crap items with 6 affixes, you can upgrade them". From what we have seen, almost all stats are being buffed and can roll much higher values, just think about the 3k weapons.
2) He said that even people with awesome BiS gear should find upgrades on a regular basis, that pretty much confirms that all 60 gear will become useless at some point.
3) You're right that you shouldn't sell gear just yet. The expansion might still be a good year away. Why would anysone sell their gear now? That'd be stupid. On the other hand, I'll take it, so go ahead.
4) The interview has been posted before, even on the front page...
I understand the video was posted before but many people seem to have missed the comment on level 60 items using mystic to gain level 70 stats. THis is why i posted it.
Certain players with items with perfect trifecta might be interested in just Enchanting the main stat on gear. I thought it was good info to share tbh.
So its like the Nether Portals in Torchlight 2? In torchlight 2 you have these random purple portals that spawn and once inside you have to kill a bunch of baddies and complete an objective. After you get some coin and a chest to open then in vanishes.
They were a nice addition to the game world in TL2 but honestly nothing that great and ultimately ignored much like D3s events.
My biggest issues with D3 (current version) were lack of randomized content, How Paragon gave you incentive to play only one class and how the skill rune system took replay value away from rerolling the same class as a different build.
So far They announced loot runs which takes care of my randomization issue.
They Announced a Paragon system with point allocation that has no cap and is account wide... basically promoting Alt character play...
They fixed everything, Sure they still have the Skill/rune system but the paragon 2.0 system is enough that it makes me want to play more than one class and thats all i wanted.
Other things like better loot, new class, new act, bosses, monsters, items, mystic and transmorg are all great bonuses as well.
If the expansion released today i would wait on a 10 hour line to buy it.
No AH - because there's no easy way to implement that in those platforms? And the playerbase will certainly be smaller for it to be active? Offline Mode - because it's not as needed to enforce DRM in consoles nowadays? Also related to the lack of an economy/AH and not needing to fight duping/hacking? Split screen local co-op with FFA loot - how would that be a good thing in PCs? High quality loot drops and crafts tailored to the class that found and made them - because of the lack of an AH so people don't spend 20 years trying to get to MP10?
I dont know about you but it seems that we as PC gamers have been beta testing the real Diablo 3 for console players...
People don't seem to understand the basic concept behind the expression "beta testing".
I mean come on... Blizzard puts in the AH and RMAH and then cripples the game so people would need to use the RMAH and in turn make blizz more money. Only now once the RMAH sales died down do they admit the AH was a bad thing...
So now 360 and PS3 gamers get a version of D3 without the scam.
Dear God, I don't even... nevermind... move along.
HAHA!!! You don't think Blizzard designed D3 in such a way that people were funneled toward the AH to progress? haha and my future credibility is in question? lord. Yes move along indeed.
Unbalanced difficulty? If you're a veteran hardcore player you know better than this. If you're not the whole "hardcore community" reference is just bad. The servers had problems early on, but everyone pretty much expected that after release.
In games like these usually the hardcore mode is the legit way to playand everyone else agrees softcore is for people with limited time to play or horrid net connections.
Saying things like that completely undermines any future credibility and fair argument you might have.
However in this game its universally agreed upon that HC is trash due to server issues.
Funny. I always see a couple dozen public games open and thousands of items on the AH, even in these days (when a lot of people are taking a break). "Universally agreed upon" is a stretch.
I doubt it's always "server issues". More likely to be our connection/ISP being unstable. I changed to a better ISP and my D3 server connection improved tenfold. I still have some rubberbanding now and then, but a quick check on my network traffic almost always shows that it was my own internet that had a spike. And yes, I did have decent connection in other games, but most of those don't have the complex network coding D3 has.
Of all the people who complain about connectivity, I wonder how many people actually try doing something to solve these issues. Firewall/router config, changing ISP, buying a new suite/hub/cables, cleaning up their computer.
"Future credibility" A bit harsh no? I'm just frustrated with how barren the HC scene seems in D3. You go through forums like these and people speak of HC as like a project... like its something to do other than working on their SC mains... it makes me sad.
When i played D2 some of the best players (that i knew of) were HC, now most players getting the spotlight are SC (it seems that way anyway).
I know SC players don't want to read about HC players thinking they aren't really playing the game... i apologize for our mentality but i refuse to change it... even if you are a mod.
As for the D3 server stability issue its legit not just some silly virus issue of the player.

The Hardcore community was completely gutted early on with the terrible client stability and unbalanced difficulty.
In games like these usually the hardcore mode is the legit way to play and everyone else agrees softcore is for people with limited time to play or horrid net connections. However in this game its universally agreed upon that HC is trash due to server issues.
So now we have everyone with one supped up SC character and even back in the D2 days if you only played 1 character the whole time you didn't last long.
Its tragic tbh.

Check out the video at 1:35 when the interviewer asks the question about gear being obsolete.
