they really need to listen to the stuff that makes sense, learn from their mistakes, and make the game fun. we all know greed had its hand in play... but if they would have did it the right way it wouldnt have ended up like it is now... just logged in 10 people in general chat. gg blizz
Its hard for them to listen to people who make sense if they don't understand what made D2 great in the long run. Which is why D3 is as it is.
D3 was lead by casual game devs and still is. They obviously played D2 causally which is exactly what this game was turned into.. They removed all the thing they felt hindered or complicated their short D2 experience which is what we got. The game devs also spent a lot of time playing WoW because you can clearly see the WoW influence in D3. They also noticed that a lot of stupid people spent money on items in D2 and turned that into D3s main focus in the RMAH.
Simple things like weapon swap where not allowed due to the fact that some people thought they lost their weapons. These are the people in charge now. Sadly.. If the people who actually created Diablo made D3, this game would have been a lot different.
All time and effort seems to have gone into making the RMAH function. Which is what these weekly 3-6 hour server down times are all about. RMAH issues.
well no nerfs are confirmed but with incoming Over Powered legendaries and itemization there will be too much face rolling and the game is just going to be a steam roll. wont you expect there to be nerfs?
But this the crowd D3 is catering to now. They only care about face roll efficiency and the path of least resistance. At one point they where the minority who made the most noise. After a year, they are the majority who makes the most noise.
This is why blizzard has no clue what they are doing.
The reasons I play D3 are not the same reason I used to play D2.
people still play d2 till this day. no one should. they should be all on d3.
If D3 was bigger and better then D2 then that would have happened. But, some people are just faithful like that. Just like the L4D series, some people just prefer the original. D2 still sets the bar as the best ARPG ever made, that's something that D3 will probably never achieve.
Meanwhile on the D3 forums half the players left are complaining to have a some sort of BOA revolution while the other half is pulling out their hair trying to shut those people up.
That's the real end game of D3. Left wing vs right wing...lol. Blizzard just sits on the middle of the fence and enjoys the ride.
its really all just moronic. i think blizz should just do everyone a favor and just shut down their servers and kill d3. thats what this community deserves.
im sure if blizzard took my idea and launched it on the ptr everyone and their momma would reinstall or log back in and play... im sure if blizz took this idea and launched it it would be the main objective of 100.9% of every d3 player out there. there is nothing wrong with it it would make diablo BOOM! and if blizzard is worried about drops then they could cap the usage of endless dungeons or make it to where it only spawns randomly by a open portal somewhere hidden within a spot in each act... they could make it very hard or highly rare for the endless dungeon to be accessed. also they could make it very hard to where if you die once or 3 times you are automatically booted from the endless dungeon....
i would bet my entire life savings, if i had any, that if they did this it would do nothing but good.
Meanwhile on the D3 forums half the players left are complaining to have a some sort of BOA revolution while the other half is pulling out their hair trying to shut those people up. Then the PVP people are begging for real pvp while the other half is jumping up and down saying that PVP shouldn't matter. Then you got the people who want skills trees butting head with people who feel punished by simple choices.
That's the real end game of D3. Left wing vs right wing...lol. Blizzard just sits on the middle of the fence and enjoys the ride not knowing what side to pick.
I was thinking about how SC2 has a robust set of community generated content/maps and even WoW has a large number of player created mods (some of which influenced quality of life changes to the inherent game).
Without seeming snide or nit-picky I wonder why a game that could greatly benefit from mods (like diversity of content and extending longevity like Synergies in Torchlight 2) would they choose to create such a sterile, enclosed environment for D3? I know they want to sell expansions... but eventually they plan to end dev time to this game.
I'm not a modder, so it;s just a question derived from curiosity.
Thoughts?
I think it was done to control the game and players. They wanted less duping and more real money profit.
Personally, D3 could use mod support. The game devs are horrible and barely do anything but talk while ignoring important easy features.
However, since console, x-pac, and itemization have way higher priorities and Travis took a pretty clear stance towards PvP being not an important aspect of development at the moment, don't get your hopes up. ;-)
Sadly no one should get their hopes up for anything when it comes to D3. If anything they need to earn some respect back but I doubt it.
PVP is top priority since it was a huge selling point, it got pushed back till later, till later became 8 months and we where given nothing but a basic brawling zone. They can sit there and make excuse and talk about things all they want. Till I see results I stopped expecting anything, that latest dev interview was it for me.
Id rather D3 become open to modders at this point, At least they actually make things happen.
The biggest issues I hear about in D3 at the moment from the fan base are:
1. There is nothing left to do.
So I thought I would contribute my 2.5 cents worth.
I am closing in on para 100 and slowly improving my toon, I enjoy the challenge of uber bosses but what happens when I get to 100 and the main stat on the hellfire ring becomes useless to me?
Theres nothing left to do because the game was made that way. No real builds and no real pvp means the game has no replay value besides lvling every class to 100 and item hunting. Maybe play HC or seriously erase your 100 p character and start again.
This game could have a lot of great end game and things to do. But, its just to complicated for blizzard.
That would be really interesting, but Blizzard would label it as "too complex"
:D. I can help but think of their reasons at to why we can't have a weapon swap.
I think it was along the lines of " People thought they lost their weapon".
Im not sure if this is because they think its too complex or they think we are all stupid newbies who can't figure out a simple button function.
I hope blizzard doesn't start making clothes.. They would just sell onezee's and tell us shirts, pants and socs are just too complex with to many choices. Its just not fun....
Enforcing replayability by making you discard a character every time you "misclick" on a wrong skill is not a good game design concept at all. There's a reason why D2 allowed respecs later on, and even PoE and TL2 have some sort of respec.
Besides, it's not about "mains and alts". There are plenty of players on these forums with 5 classes on about the same paragon level, they have no mains, they just play several classes. If you're arguing for a "no respec policy", these people would need to have about ~15 characters they'd play in parallel.
Or just take it back to the RPG aspect. What does that look like... Game: "Your character just learned a new ability, he can now shoot electrified arrows." Player: "Cool, let's try this out! - Oh crap, this is worse than my previous main attack. I'm gonna jump off this cliff, kill this character, and create a new hero."
Buy level 30 you could try out any skill you want by simply equiping any item with said skill.
And seriously, who cares about miss clicking? Thats a cop out, pay attention is the solution, even an 'ACCEPT BUTTON" would fix this.. Miss clicking can get you killed in HC,, should that mode be removed?
This is not forcing replayability, its about truth. D3 is that proof of what happens when you remove builds and permanent choice. You get this. Instant gratification with no depth all tied to items only. You can't have both.
Well, sadly another flaw in the game is the lacking of sense of permanency. They can fix that if they showed some balls but they might piss of an entire legion of hardcore casuals in the process.
But that would bring back alot of players.... Maybe they could have a different game mode..lol
Paragon can be a great tool of customization (mainly skill wise) if done right, it will bring a whole new everything in the game. Combined with some permanency in the process and you fixed build variety... probably never gonna happen tho.
OMG... Permanency is like Necromancy. Its forbiden.

I doubt 3 million people play D3 regularly.
SCpub is about 1000-2000 games average.
HC pub is about 500.
If all those games where stacked with 4 people each that's about 10 000 players.
So that would mean ...Nearly 3 mill people play alone. I doubt that.
