    It was a cool idea and concept on paper - But Blizzard usually does this mistake in my opinion. Let me explain.

    There is a structural flaw in Blizzard's way of thinking. Which is power for your character. Not that you have power in different ways.
    Not that something is expressed power in different ways - But that there are generalized terms of power.

    How fast you kill something (DPS), how much dmg you can take (toughness). This makes for such problems as this.

    And that is the cost of having a shallow system. You encounter balancing issues and have to homogenize a lot of talents towards the same purpose - as there is litlle to no diversity in the structure. i.e - One will simply be better then the other ; not taste, but factually supreme in numbers at such a low cost that it obliterates the cost.

    Other games suffer from such issues - Such as LoL. But that is the cost of having a wide-spread audience speaking system - It becomes shallow and unbalanced in simple itterative terms.
    that's a whole lot of words that don't actually mean anything. You criticize blizzard's design and development direction, yet give no examples or counterarguments to back up your talk. You basically just said "I think blizzard sucks at making games" and masked it with big words. you seem to post things like this in a hell of of a lot of threads, come to think of it.

    The latest is announcing you can't enchant pre-2.0.1 legendaries because some of them can become overpowered and are actually better than level 70 items. Many of the wallet warriors over there had been hoarding these legendaries for their own use and IMHO a little closer to launch were going to try to sell some of them.

    As for the official forums specifically, they are always a cesspool since Blizzard seems to have no interest in getting rid of the malcontents and shit stirrers. Best to just let them all stew in their own bile. Most of them are going to buy RoS anyway.
    couldn't have said it better myself

    Quote from HeyseusKristos


    You do remember that to play highest level of difficulty in vanilla D3 you've had to grind to level 60, right? Did you complain back then as well? It's an expansion pack, and it is the same for each and every game out there. You have to level to max before you can see whole content. Nothing new here, so if anything you can complain that Blizzard haven't developed completely new approach to that matter (which, as a side note, has worked very well for all those years), but it is not like you proposed any solutions for this either. As for necessity to buy deluxe version to have more character slots, your statement is simply not true and it has been already clarified several days ago.http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/10973357478?page=1#6
    First, no this is not the same as the grind for D3 Vanilla. I was new to the experience. We had a complete fresh start, no gear in the economy. It was more difficult than what I experienced in PTR. Second, that is good news on the character slots, i tried for a while trying to figure that out and saw nothing. Thank you for the link. 3rd, Another guy said monster power and monster density is coming back, if thats true, I would probably play the game again. I just don't trust blizzard to fix it. I remember seeing the static map borders in the original beta and my heart sank. 2 years later, they are fixing that for expansion maps only. My complaining in the OP is due to that fact I have seen repeatedly the mistakes Blizzard has made and the lack of foresight they seemed to have in their initial fixes.
    why exactly do people like completely randomized areas? the replayability argument has some flaws especially when you realize its still the exact same tileset and you're still on the exact same storyline, its just that with the completely randomized areas nobody can find where the hell to go instead of at least having a general idea of where to be going. maybe if it was a max level thing so it wouldn't impede player's capabilities to get through the game at a steady pace but still give people that randomization they're looking for in endgame

    posted a message on BOA's purpose is bullshit
    Quote from Finder


    Does anyone else read these anti-BOA threads and posts and just hear AH Tycoons desperately trying to find anything to cling to to protect their ability to sell items?
    thats how I look at it, its mostly scammers, hackers, dupers, AH players, and the like who are throwing a fit because lets face it, other than AH players, a vast majority of the online diablo community that people interacted with fell under this category, as anyone with a brain played with their friends in passworded games and never ventured into any public game EVER. I think BOA might need a little bit of tuning to ease up things for trading with friends and stuff, but other than that I think the idea is sound.

    good to see there are still people who have a head on their shoulders and aren't shit gobbling fucktards who think the elder scrolls series was any good past morrowind.

    Quote from Nodnarb


    as a veteran of D1, D2, and D3 .... will d3's xpac do what it did for d2 when d2's LoD came out?.... or is this a lost cause?... for those that are quick to judge...check my posts from d3 closed beta days, if you had access... believe you me i am a real fan. I am apart of a culture that made this game what it is today. which sadly is a dying if not dead breed.
    People who are stuck in D1/D2/D2LOD land need to realize those days are gone. D3 will NEVER be like them. Either let go, or go back to playing them only. I too have played from D1-D3. Still have all my CD's. Still play them from time to time. But I know that as a franchise, Diablo HAS to change to survive.If your wanting D2 with better graphics, your SooL. RoS brings many quality changes. Some well received, other not. If it will be a hit or not, only time, and numbers, will tell.
    This is the black and white of it. - numbers meaning "money" of course... I came to the realization that my nostalgia condemns anything after LoD... i mean i played and enjoyed that game for the better part of 8 years ... The shame of it is, for me, is watching the evolution of this game spiral downwards... Simply put, I dont like console games like Cod or Battlefield and the xpac changes, from what i can see thus far, dont make me want to even give it another shot... peace out guys
    then quit instead of making a childish scene about it? I personally had terrible experiences with diablo 2 and am very glad with the way the game has developed. the only thing that really pisses me off is how god awful the story has become. I'm not just going to throw a rage baby fit because the game isn't tailored EXACTLY to my tastes. I personally fucking despise the diablo series and this is the ONLY one I could actually enjoy outside of the story, whereas the other two I just liked the story and the rest of the game was a worthless grind with tons of griefers and endless trading and runeword farming because nothing else was worth shit and the only way to play the game was to find people to give you duped/hacked items. the ONLY grievances I have with the game is the shitty loot system currently, the god awful metzen story, and the fact that the game was sold as half a product and a lot of content was pulled out for the sake of expansion material.

    as funny as you may think it be, it's because PC gaming is going the way of the dinosaur and those of us who are left buy everything digitally. I can guarantee you the console version of RoS will have a midnight release while the pc version won't even be mentioned. P.S. I work at gamestop, if that aids my credibility at all

    Quote from ematanis


    Amazing , this is what Barbs are supposed to be played like , not constant WW and Sprint :) I love WW but not as it was in Vanilla.
    and who are you to decide what hundreds of thousands of players use as their abilities and gear choices? I personally haven't dropped the whirlwind build on live servers even though I know a hota/rend build is far superior only because I ENJOY the whirlwind playstyle, and it was the only thing that even kept me around for diablo 2. RoS seems to be just a shaking up of the dice and not actually opening doors for new builds or innovative ideas.

    sounds like the guy is just here whining like a bitch and doesn't even realize that the build has just changed and may require a specific legendary or two to pull off instead of cheesing it and abusing broken game mechanics. working as intended imo

    posted a message on Why the desire for a ladder system?

    it basically gives the very small and very vocal minority of egomongering internet bullies a justification for playing 20 hours a day so that they can brag to all of their friends. The ladders system is counter-productive to the entire game and actually works AGAINST what diablo is designed for. The game is about farming for loot to improve your characters power, and that's it. There is nothing else to the formula other than the slot machine loot system that hooks gambling addicts who then start griping about there being nothing to do because they play bare minimum 16+ hours every single day.

    Most importantly is that the ladder system works completely against the casual player (which is the "normal" player, I used to play wow for insane amounts of time over the course of 6 years and never truly enjoyed the game until I slowed down the last couple years and finally quit because I realized the game was designed to suck out your soul and force you into slavery to a second job), Casual players do not WANT to restart the game over and over and over every six months. to reinforce my point, I actually ran into a player who had 70 hours played on their wizard and had only reached level 36! and let's face it, only a couple percent of the ENTIRE WORLD'S PLAYERBASE is even doing MP10 inferno farming.

    posted a message on What online interaction is left with RoS?
    So you point out that the vast majority of the human race is selfish, annoying assholes, yet fail to realize that you're being selfish by demanding the game be changed for you and you alone, being annoying by creating this thread and constantly howling the same dry and overused argument that every cheater uses, and then trash talk the game and the players here giving you feedback and mature responses? sounds like an asshole to me.

    Let's face it, cheating destroys the integrity of the game considering that TO create said cheat programs the programmers have to take and break the code which slowly destroys the foundations of the game's coding, creating bugs and glitches all over the place. Also, nobody wants a bunch of duped items back into the D3 economy that hackers use as trackers to then crack into your account and steal all your stuff. Then there's the piracy issue. This isn't even the tip of the iceberg as I could go on for hours about why cheating is terrible and as much as most of us hate the "always online" policy, we understand why it is important.

    If you can't deal with that then I think it's time for you to move on. I have my own issues with reaper of souls but it has more to do with lack of content and another predictable storyline. we live in the 21st century, kind of hard not to have internet these days and if its such a HUGE DEAL, buy the console version and quit wasting our time with these nonsensical threads.
