DiabloFans

A big patch of nothingness

Quote from instinto22»

Do u guys know how many people is involved in D3 developing team right now? I mean, when i see this "patch notes" i can only think about comparing this... let's call it progress, with the one of many other games from much smaller companies that are supposed to have lower budgets and limited resources when compared to Blizzard. Im not in a hurry for huge things, and appreciate stuff like armory and materials interface, but lets be honest, this game content addition rate is so slow for a company like Blizzrd, since lauch day.

In comparison with other games, for example Space Engineers, where u get an update EACH thursday, this feels ridiculous, at least for Blizzard. And im not only talking about quantity, but too about quality, there u get implemented new mechanichs, physhic behaviours, new components, new stuff with REAL IMPACT on the game, and not one update of a "We've increased potato ray damage 1%! WOOHAAAH" kind. Dunno if i just have lost hope on this game, or team has already dissappointed me too much since launch day that i came to feel a bit crazed about it xD.

I think it is not neccessary to expose again any of the really nice ideas that comunity has shared in official forums and here in diablofans along all this time, but im almost sure that the majority of u guys have had that feeling of sorrow, cause you knew that idea would die here in the forums. Im not a hater or anything like that, but i cannot understand how Blizzard dev team is so sluggish about this game. Maybe im wrong or not analyzing this from the right point of view, but that feeling of wasted potential that i have with this game tells me that im kinda right.

Blizzard please do not make the 25% reduction go live.

Even though the current build is still an archon build, it is a difficult to play, interactive build with burst phases and does not require area damage or bane of the stricken. It is one of the most fun to play build in a long time. The only downside is when the enemy has built up cc resistance and you get unlucky enough to not proc the ring for like 5 seconds and your tal rasha stacks drop with no proc at all. If you reduce the procchance by 25%, the build will clear 3 gr-levels lower at most, but it will increase the awkward moments of not getting any procs. This will make T13 farming and 70-80 speeds much more uncomfortable. Why don't you just adjust the damage from 13.000-14.000 to 9.750-10.500 instead of making one of the most enjoiable builds clunkier than it allready is?

Quin69 in one of his Youtube D3 videos once suggested it was like literally 2 people who work on Diablo III, and I tend to agree with him on that. Obviously, the answer is that Blizz is no longer interested in Diablo III, and their focus is now on other games. All these patches and the upcoming Necromancer addon seem so pathetic compared to the content that truly devoted devs provide, e.g. GGG.

bye archon wiz.....

Not by a long shot. MH right now is just the most effective way of playing the completely OP 4p Vyr + 6p Tal or Firebird setups. Remove MH, people go back to the previous top tier Archon build...which is still 10+ tiers better than the best build of some other classes.
As long as the 300% (all damage x4) from 4p Vyr + Swami stays, there are no alternatives for Wiz that are remotely competitive.
