Title: Diablo 3
Post by: Havoco on May 01, 2012, 05:14:02 am
Looked at gameplay videos, read reviews, but I'm still not convinced that I'll like the game. I didn't get a chance to play beta so how do others feel about the game?

+1, yeh i played the beta, it was easy, but still very entertaining, plus i expect the real version to actually have the proper difficulty.
coop was also nice, very easy to get together with people and the loot is actually invidual for every player, wich is a big plus  :D
the classes where also very nicely made, alot of new ideas, loved it.

Played the beta, didn't like it. They removed those skill trees that Diablo 2 had and made the char progression very linear. I liked Path of Exile more.

haven't tried Path of Exile, but it looks alot like diablo 2.
i see its on open beta too, but u have to wait for an invite or something?

Pretty much this above. Had great times playing Diablo II back on the gold time, and simply playing beta with friends was a good serendipity.

It simply means if you screw up your build you don't need to roll a new char

Agreed.  Thats one thing i hated about diablo 2.  Get 30 or so levels in when it starts to matter, and you realize your build is shit, WHELP STARTOVER TIME.

I already have a week of vacation lined up starting on the 15th :D

Characters respecs have been in games for years now (hell, it was blizzard himself who also added character respecs and option of double builds/switching in WoW), I fail to see the reason why they just didn't simply add this option instead of completely linearizing char development.

The intelligence and hardcorness of game communities are degrading quite a lot. I remember playing wow back in the days when you had 8 debuff slots on bosses and you had to actually think to kill some shit. But, people were getting burned out, hence they made the game more appealing for masses = simplyfying it to shit. Guys in wow had to wait what? 4-5 or even 6 years to get the damned doublespecs, cause grinding enough and repeccing on need was TOO HARDCORE.

I foresee they just want to make this as easy as possible and as nice as possible to attract masses = profit.

Diablo 2 back then started and was epic in terms of atmosphere, music and ideas. I remember, the release was planned for 1998...hahaha and delayed heavily.

Content in D2 was a joke compared to what it got, when LOD and patches came.

I dont know how you guys leveled, but getting to lvl 75 took 2 hours at some point...xD

Adding a respec option was a good move...but to be honest, creating an effective char mostly meant extreme linearity too :-)

Not saying D3 will have the same impact D2 had, but there is potential in it :-) (I admit I hate the gfx for looking to much like WOW)

Maybe I ll get it, but one thing is certain. It ll never be the same again, so expectations are lowered anyways ;-)

D2 was more linear than D3 if you wanted to make a good build (ie every point bar a few in vitality) and only the skill you wanted to use and its synergies, if you didn't do this, you would fail late game

Yeah, Blizzard games get cheap really fast, ie. Wings of Liberty released 2 years ago is only, uhm, 49 dollars now.  :lol:

I didn't think I'll ever say this in context of Diablo, but this new "Diablo" game is dumbed down to such max that it's not playable anymore. Skill unlocks system and cartoon graphics is mostly to blame, followed up by ridiculous price and the lack of iconic elements (Blizzard, you seriously removed light radius and id scrolls from this?).

Oh, and the fact that Path of Exile (http://www.pathofexile.com/) will be here, which is by many called the "actual new Diablo". Can't really argue about that, it's way more diablo than this new "Diablo" game. Diablo diablo diablo, in case I didn't say it enough in one paragraph.

Title: Re: Diablo 3
Post by: Bjarky on May 03, 2012, 03:19:28 pm
Well i plan to play it through very fast on the normal diffictulty (easymode) and then actually to take my time on Nightmare and Hell difficulty.
Also the prices on the blizzards webpage are insane, i just pre-orderes my game through a danish shop and only spent 46.50 euro instead of Blizzard's 59.99 euro :mrgreen:

Yeah the graphics are different now, but when i played the beta, it didn't really annoy me, the atmosphere is still how it should be and the game performance is much better than diablo 2, i remember those damn lags in the old times omg, that one was a major minus, i still kept on playing, but still, a game shouldn't lag that much, even with high-end pc's back in the day it was awfull at times   :lol:

Honestly It wasnt THAT bad, the only people it really affected were those that only had a limited ammount of time to play.  If you were planning on staying up all night anyway you only lost about an hour and a half of gametime before they figured it out.

Been playing almost nonstop since then.

Me and my good friend have been playing it all day, only got a disconnection an hour ago due to the servers under going maintenance or something. Great game so far, there are some things missing I would have liked to have seen brought over from Diablo 2, but all in all it's a great release. I've not encountered one bug yet, not saying there are no bugs, but it's been smooth all the way and we are about half way through Act 2.

The Acts most certainly take more time to complete which is a good thing, can obviously be done 'quickly' i.e just running through only killing what you HAVE to kill, but it will still take longer than Diablo 2's Acts. Normal mode so far is very easy, which I expected, considering it always was pretty damn easy and especially more so they now have the Inferno difficulty after hell, which I am looking forward to.

Great find! Pretty much sums up my first 3 hours of "playing" D3.
 
Managed to log in and play for 2 hours - good old Diablo action! I am not disappointed. Besides the server issues that is.

Been playing like crazy for hours and hours today, and I am most certainly not dissapointed. The acts seem to be very long which is awesome! Unfortunately I have to sleep for school, but tomorrow I will continue  :) I like the voice actors and listening to the Lore while killing some mobs is very nice, great game! :D

Yeah it makes me laugh how people shit and piss their pants because a game isn't working flawlessly on release day, it's very normal for games like this to encounter problems on release date, with the internet being what this game requires, especially when there is an insane amount of people trying to play it at once.

Though I played just fine yesterday for alot of hours and have been playing fine today, so it must be the people who stayed up all night hoping to play it from midnight exactly without any issues.

People are like "it doesn't work today, OH MY FUCKING GOD MY LIFE IS OVER WHAT THE FUCK THIS GAME FUCKING SUCKS", even though this isn't the first time a PC game has had issues on release, especially internet PC games, people need to get a fucking grip lol.

No, the reason why people hate it is because you need to be connected trough blizz servers at all times, to play, even while playing singleplayer.

If it laggs because it is release day and a lot of people want to get on, it is blizzards fault for having you connect to a server to play SP.

By singleplayer you mean what? offline singleplayer where your character is NOT stored online and never gets to be used online?, yes that should have been added in like it was in Diablo 2. But if you want to play Singleplayer online, where your character benefits from the multiplayer things like PvP and auction houses then it's just tough shit that people cannot connect, because it was the same on Diablo 2. This many people aren't complaining because there is not an offline singleplayer mode, they are complaining because they can't play online, whether it's alone or with friends.
Title: Re: Diablo 3
Post by: ulya on May 16, 2012, 05:55:07 pm
A lot people just want to run a game and play it when they want to play SP.

There are many stories about people, especially from countries with bad internet/"bad" geographic location that are having problems with Diablo 3, even in SP, because of blizz servers. Australians for example will almost always have 200-300 ping, which makes the game impossible, especially considering that everything is server sided.

There are a lot other reasons for it to get such low metacritic score, such as p2w, not too much content etc, but since I haven't played it myself I won't bother with that.
Title: Re: Diablo 3
Post by: Leesin on May 16, 2012, 06:12:53 pm
There is an Asian server for Australians.

In Diablo 2 there was Singleplayer option, i.e for OFFLINE gameplay, but you could also play Singleplayer online, you just made your own private game.

 You can't play an offline singleplayer in Diablo 3, which is dissapointing, they should have really added that option, but that is not the main reason most people are complaining, especially considering it was stated LONG ago that Diablo 3 would NOT have an offline singleplayer mode, so anyone who bought it that lives in a mountain or a cave where they have no internet or really shitty internet, is stupid.

 Most people complaining are ones that want to play online whether it's alone or with friends/random players, all because they can't wait a couple of days for everything to be smoothed out, they feel like their life is withering away and they are falling behind in levels and items, lol. I just feel that if someone can't wait an extra day or two for the game to be smoothed out then then I think they need to get a life, lol.

For me I played just fine yesterday with my friend, I only lost connection when they did maintenance on the servers and today I played fine too with no connection losses. I'm sure I'm not the only one considering I saw thousands of people playing in public games. If I couldn't play due to server issues etc I would just wait and look again later, until it's fixed and I can play, rather than cry about it and give bad ratings on meta-critic, lol.

p2w? not really, the items that will be sold by players on the auction house can be found just like the player selling it found it, you don't need to pay anything to 'win', especially because in Diablo 3 items are not the be all end all like they were in Diablo 2, you will be able to beat players who have better gear than you. Not much content? Act 1 takes alot longer than Act 1 in Diablo 2 did for example, there is plenty of content right now and even more so once the PvP arenas are patched in, which is what alot of people are going to be playing.

Most of negative reviews are about the dumb idea of being constantly online to play an offline game, hideous graphics and real money auction house. Hence I agree with all of that, plus lack of any depth regarding character customization and absurd price, I'll be simply skipping this one since it's not a worthy successor. PoE might be, Torchlight might be, but certainly not this. This is a trademark ripoff.

You do realize that if not for this whole hype thing and general fanboism regarding Blizzard releasing a game which is basically singleplayer with coop with such ridiculous DRM-heavy mechanics that requires you to be online all the time and then not delivering decent enough service to actually allow players to play singleplayer would be perceived as a scandalous release failure? It's quite amusing that the crowds still worship Blizzard when the people responsible for the games which made the companys name aren't there anymore at all, and it's just the name and the greed of the publisher whats left.

Oh, right. One more thing. The real money auction system is probably the most shameless attempt to get additional money from players I've ever seen. If you think about it for a second, you'll realize how twisted the whole game concept is and how greedy this is: there is no more character build to speak of other than the gear, therefore gear is the deciding factor defining your character. The gear is to be bought for real money using the auction system, of which Blizzard is getting profits. Hence it is reasonable to call it pay to win, and a very insolent one.

Thankfully PoE is on its way.

Gear was the defining factor in Diablo 2, you could have two characters the same build, if one had the better gear he had a high chance of winning, the difference doesn't seem to be so bad on Diablo 3, there doesn't seem to be insanely unbalanced items, it progresses smoothly. You don't have to buy anything for real money from other players, you can find and also make the same items as what will be sold on the auction house, the choice is there for you to either buy it with your real cash, trade for it, or just go find it yourself. There is no item that is going to secure you a victory over every player just because you have it, Diablo 3 was designed for more competitive PvP, with fights lasting more than 2 seconds, unlike Diablo 2.

Pay to win means the best items are ONLY available to buy with real cash, this is not the case in Diablo 3, players find or make their own items then have the option to sell them for real cash, no one has to buy anything to compete.

Your character can have 6 active skills, these can be changed at any time
these 6 skills come from your total of 25 available skills
each of these skills has 6 variations that change how the skill works and what it does (some more drastically than others)

in addition you can take 3 passives from a pool of 15, again these can be changed at any time
this leads to a massive variety of skill builds you can make

as far as stats goes, these come from gear, so you can switch around your gear to increase damage output, health, armour, resistances and dodge values

But SquishMitten's saying that you can switch them out at anytime, so to me that's just saying I'm going to be switching back and forth between a crowd control set and a focus firing set which doesn't really seem like customization and no thought on my part.

On a side not you're going to have 5(?) classes but only have games with up to 4 people?

Also, the most fun I had in Diablo 2 was joining a game with characters around my level and declaring that if they want to reach the boss they have to go through me and going hostile against the party.

So glad I got this game for free. I'm moderately enjoying it, which I should be faunching at the bit to get home and play, but more or less I'm just kind of blah with it. I give it like a 5.8/10, very laid back, very casual, some times it's rough or difficult when you're playing Nightmare or Hell games, but for the most part I just think it's short, obviously linear, characters lack meaningful progression, and it's very very hack-n-slash or button slapping.

But hey, that's what Diablo is primarily about, and given this is my first Diablo game and I wasn't a fan-boy prior to this launch, I guess it makes sense that people would enjoy it. But for new players making Diablo 3 their first Diablo title, it's going to be a very weird experience.

There is no PvP arena yet because rather than delay the release of the game as they felt the PvP arena needed more work, they released the game as dated and will add the arena in, why is that an issue? people get to play and level up and then PvP when it's added in, not really an issue there, atleast they actually want to release something polished rather than just throw in a broken PvP system.

Again, people seem to throw the pay2win thing around alot without obviously knowing the meaning of it, pay2win always meant items that can ONLY be bought from the developers that were superior to the items you can find as a player. Diablo 3 allows you the choice of finding your own items which can be as good as those you'll see players selling on auction house for game gold and real cash, how's that an issue? if some little turd buys items with his parents credit card who cares? it's not going to make him the best player and because it's an RPG he's going to have to get to max level to be using the best items, in which time he could have probably found or made the item he has bought from the auction house, or an item equally as good. The items are NOT being bought from the developer and the items sold by other players are the same items as you can FIND or MAKE yourself.

Plus, I am by far not a 'fanboy', I am not stating this is a perfect, or a fantastic game, there are multiple things that I dislike about the game and multiple things I like about the game, I'd only probably give it a 7/10. But the stuff you are writing here is just nonsense, considering you haven't even played the game. I am not big on the "real money auction house" myself, but it by all means is not pay2win, because I don't have to buy anything to compete.

I was talking with some people before and something interesting came up:

Blizzard takes a % from the RMAH, but the servers are controlled by blizzard, so blizzard can do what they want on them. They have the power to completely change the supply/demand, spawn and sell items and make even more money. Not saying that this will happen, just interesting to know.

Iif one person has to farm 2 weeks for one item, and somebody else can just buy it, it is, in my opinion pay 2 win, because this person can pay, to get something somebody else has to work very hard for, 2 win.

Iif one person has to farm 2 weeks for one item, and somebody else can just buy it, it is, in my opinion pay 2 win, because this person can pay, to get something somebody else has to work very hard for, 2 win.

The difference is that the item he bought doesn't make him "win", you really should stop with your highly flawed argument, I have stated several times pay2win means when the items that are better than anything you can get in a game are only obtainable with real money, this is not the case in Diablo 3. Every item is obtainable for every player without paying any real money beyond the games original purchase and there are so many combinations of  decent weapons etc that there is no such as THE best weapon. At the end of the day it doesn't matter if one guy just bought it and the other guy took 2 weeks to find the item he wanted, they both have the item and one guy didn't have to spend money on it, he is better off.

So what if Blizzard take a %, it's a small amount, they run all of these servers, maintain the game and will patch it, so it doesn't bother me if they're making a bit of cash from people wanting to sell for real money. If alot of people are playing it, enjoying it and selling lots of items on the auction house for real money, then surely they, as a developer, they deserve money? after all it doesn't matter what anyones opinion on the game is, if thousands of people are playing it then that's all that matters.

pay2win means when the items that are better than anything you can get in a game are only obtainable with real money[citation needed]

Pay2win = You pay money, and thus have a higher chance to win. Sometimes this means you get insanely overpowered items, sometimes this means you get items others have to work hard for.

Imagine blizzard going Hey guys, we just released Black Temple patch, you can either farm for your glaives or pay us 200USD and get them! It won't be p2w because you can get them either way! You will just have to farm for more than 2 years for them, but it's okay, because it's still obtainable!

Im perfectly fine with what Blizzard does with the real live money auction house and shit.

Why?It´s simple: Things like that would have been done anyway, on Ebay and mostly by china farmers and the like.

It was forbidden before, but that didnt stop most people who wanted to buy stuff anyway.

Now it´s legal, implemented into the game, and blizzard makes a bit of money with it, too.The good thing for the Individual player is: You dont have ANY disadvantage if you dont pay, simply because anything you could buy, you can also simply loot by playing the game.And, if you play a lot, you could possibly even sell enough to get your buying money back, or more.

Everybody´s happy.

A free to play game with microtransactions is very reasonable, since the devs will obviously want to make atleast enough money to keep the servers up and such.

But a game for which you have to pay €60, and than continue to pay more jewgold, that's just taking it too far.

Also "Always online DRM(which isn't always online, since it's offline 75% of the time)" for SP and such, I think those things are unacceptable, and I'll do my best to complain and make less people buy games, and thus support the devs of those games.

Gee, just because you can pay real money to get some good gear doesnt mean every one in the game will do it. And what difference will it make? maybe in pvp it will have a big impact but pvp isnt out yet (i think) and i think personal skill wins over better gear anyways. If blizzard wants to make an extra profit its fine with me since they make good games and they are pretty active on patching / releasing new content.

As far as the RMAH is concerned, i think it is fine, but it was disappointing to find out that they wont be doing it for hardcore. That is where they would make the majority of the money from auction house anyways.

Also, Whimsyshire is really funny. I got all the materials for it and was running it with peppovitch and a few others from hospitaller. One of our members got a legendary item called the horadric hamburger from it, and when u equip it it actually looks like ur carrying around a hamburger, lol.

Post by: Harafat on May 20, 2012, 02:12:23 pm
it's very very hack-n-slash
And i've waited about 12 years for this!   :P
This is basicly what diablo is all about. Each class is designed to take out dozens of mobs at once. Gore, blood, agression. No time lost with intrigues, banter or character development.
Either you RP, as in skyrim or fallout, or either you hack and you slash as in diablo. I can savour both.  Games that try to a bit of each generally suck.
Loving it!

You can easily customize your character with the choice of the skills and their runes. Especially on Nightmare and harder you have to carefully choose the skills you use. Not always the newest is the best...

The only thing that I don't like of this game is that items that drop are always instantly displayed and, sometimes, I start picking up stuff instead of hitting the monsters. It's a bit annoying...

I preferred to have to press Alt to see them, like in Diablo 2.

Exactly this and while there are a couple hundred whiners on the forum, there are thousands playing the game and enjoying it. The game is far from perfect but it is a fun hack n slash game which is what I was buying and once PvP arenas are put in that's where the real fun will begin for me.

Yea, they really changed a lot about the drops. I get much more useful things now, more tailored to your character.

About RoS... I dunno... it's too expensive. An add-on for the price of a full game? And all you get is one more class, one more act and the adventure mode. Don't think I gonna pay for that. Maybe when it's a bit older and on a cheap sale at some key seller. But not for release...

I finished the game during the month it came out. I kinda liked it. It's not/or was(I dunno how much the patches have changed the game by now) as bad as people say it is. Its not even close to what D2 was, but it has some value. But yea. PoE is just so much better in almost every way and its free 2 play.

Its like they didnt even try. I mean they had a title thats basically known and loved worldwide with a gigantic fanbase and funds of one of the most moneymaking gamecompany ever and they get schooled by some indiedeveloper. Sure D3 came out a year earlier and PoE isnt technically finished yet, but the fact that its not even close to as good says a lot. The game aint bad, its just a severe downgrade.

I watched a bunch of RoS streams when the beta was going on it's pretty decent.

I honestly think most people here have an opinion without even buying the game.

Had Diablo 3 pre-ordered, have many hours on Diablo and a fuck ton more on Diablo 2, most likely thousands, which I still sometimes install to play again for a while nowadays. My conclusion, even after all this time, is that Diablo 3 is a fucking abomination to the game series, whilst it does look fairly nice, has a good atmosphere and some other eye candy stuff, the core of the Diablo part of the game was torn out and replaced with some generic bullshit.

 Not only that but they also fucked the game up further by allowing real currency to become apart of the game, regardless of them planning to remove that sometime in March, the damage has already been done. Also, PVP, lol what the fuck, I waited fucking ages for PVP and still it never came, then when it finally did, wow what a shitfest. Diablo 3, biggest waste of money in recent years.

All they had to do was look at the successes of Diablo 2, carry them over, remove the cons, add new DECENT features, release with a decent PVP, improve all eye candy and atmosphere aspects and so on, instant success. Instead they decided to make the game from scratch and amazingly somehow they managed to make a worst game and just happened to sneak in a real currency auction house that nabbed a % of the trades made for their wallets, what a fucking surprise. I thought Blizzard made enough off of the WoW bundle of stickss but then they decided to shit all over the Diablo franchise, sadly all of the Diablo fans that bought the game out of love for the series, just happened to get shit all over their god damn fucking tits too, I can still smell it on my nips.

So yeah, fuck Blizzard and fuck Diablo 3, Blizzard is another company in the gaming industry to completely sell out, it's always been a business but people in these companies used to have passion and want to deliver a decent game for the people buying it, now it's just about sucking as much money out of peoples wallets whilst releasing games with less soul than flappybird. Nowadays all the REAL games are coming from indie developers who deserve the money they get, because they're delivering solid products with all kinds of awesome gameplay and ideas.

Fuck you Diablo you prick, I'm reinstalling D2 just to fucking drop gold coins all over Diablos corpse to feed the greedy mother fuckers soul.

Isn't that like saying you spent 150 hours sucking small dicks and eating small turds, but only 10 hours sucking massive dicks and eating giant turds, either way you look at it, you spent a hell of a lot of time sucking dicks and eating turds.

Perhaps I like small turds then.

I honestly enjoyed it quite a bit

Welp, I tried Diablo 3 starter edition and it feels immensely less boring than Path of Exile. I can't exactly pinpoint the reason, but I was bored shitless in about 2 hours of PoE, where as in Diablo 3 I was not. Probably because TTK is lower / pace is faster and the skills just feel better to use. I'm still considering purchase since it's not the cheapest shit on market though

I have to agree.
I love the huge possibilities that come with PoE but Jesus, it's fucking slow paced and unresponsive. D3 simply isn't. The whole gameplay is much smoother, skills are used in a more fluid, integrated way and it's faster.
Especially with the new loot 2.0 and the add-on D3 made quite a big leap forward and plays really well.

The biggest issue with people like Leesin is that they simply can't get over themselves cuz they didn't get a visually enhanced D2 - everyone who says "D3 is shit!" either hasn't even played or can't appreciate a good game cuz it has the wrong name.
D3 is not a Diablo but it is a very good game.

Since when did I ask for a remake of D2 with better graphics? I said "All they had to do was carry the successes of D2 over and add new decent features" because that's what any good game sequel consists of. Considering this game IS called "Diablo 3", it IS the sequel to Diablo 2 no matter what kind of bullshit you want to paint it with and besides its visuals and technological advancements, it's an inferior game, which is pretty fucking sad considering after 12 years this is all they could come up with.

If I had never played Diablo 2 all those years ago then maybe I would have thought "this games alright", but I did play it all those years ago and Diablo 3 is shit in comparison even by today's standards, if I want to play a Diablo game I just install Diablo 2.

So yeah, if being massively disappointed by a sequel to one of my favourite game series means "I can't get over myself" ( like that has any relevance to this subject ) then sure, I can't get over myself, you're entitled to your opinion but so am I and I say the game's shit.

How is D3 inferior to D2? (considering the new expac and loot 2.0 for d3)

Infantile art style, no character building, always online, RMAH, PVP, and a long list of other things of which each on it's own is a total red flag, and they are all in the same game.

Ok art style is subjective, dunno about character building, AH is gone, pvp? Always online doesn't bother me personally and so it shouldn't most people except the tinfoil bunch. Don't get this post as refuting, I'm just trying to figure out how many objective points are there for the hatred upon (the new) Diablo 3.

It does bother me because I want to buy a product, not a service. I can play D2 whenever I want 15 years later and couldn't care less if servers are down because Blizzard sinked.

It's just "meh, /shrug" and raised eyebrows that people still get excited about this and feed the machine.

Yea, black market item selling/buying of D2 was so much better compared to D3 auction house. :D

How is D3 inferior to D2? (considering the new expac and loot 2.0 for d3)

New expansion, the price of a brand new full PC game for an extra class, some meaningless fluff + one more act, just another validation to Blizzards greed. Loot 2.0? a good idea except the whole item system was smashed beforehand. Those aside I will write down some reasons for you why I feel D2 is the superior game, even with all of its own flaws.

The first and most basic of my reasons, Diablo 2 just feels much more like a "Diablo" game, by that I mean the general atmosphere, each Act in Diablo 2 felt unique to me, the locations nicely different but equally as "dark" , the entire game just feels far more grimy and ridden with evil, a horror aspect to the atmosphere, like it should.

On the other hand, even with the superior graphics and fancy physics, Diablo 3 looks like a World of Warcraft cartoon, why they made it this way I don't know, but it took away the horror aspect of the game, which helped make an awesome atmosphere in the previous games. Not many of the locations in the game made me really feel anything, it was just boring, not even places I could say " Damn I hate this place " like I hate the Act 3 Jungle in Diablo 2, just very few locations are worth remembering, the lack of atmosphere is shameful considering how awesome it is in Diablo 2.

Onto the next thing, the entire character building system, the item system, item stats, how they interact with characters and your enemies. They ripped the guts out of the game and IMO, it was for the worst.

 All the entire character building ( or should I say lack of character building ) and skill system in Diablo 3 bores me. You might think "Cool, I have a monk, I can change his skills to whatever I like whenever I like, awesome", but I feel this destroys the uniqueness of your characters and the classes become a meaningless blur where you don't even have to think about what you're doing with it. I struggled to make a bad build and even with a terrible combination of skills you can spam your way through everything. That combined with these checkpoints, death being meaningless and having no effect on your progress, all begin to dumb down the game. I much more enjoy the system of Diablo 2, where you actually spend your skill and stat points into the places you want them.

 The whole system just feels meaningless and left me with no feeling of attachment to my characters. It is much more enjoyable in Diablo 2 creating a character with a certain build regardless of class, ranging from cheesy builds, all round builds, to specialized. Items, gems in weapons and skills having physical or different elemental damages, with monsters that could literally be immune to the type of damage your character and his/her items mainly deal and you just have to deal with it using your brain, or perhaps putting together a new weapon with a certain Gem that adds a damage type the monster isn't immune to. It also meant that playing with other players was a very good idea, the multiplayer part of the game felt meaningful, having a good party with a variety of strengths and weaknesses that together can overcome the obstacles. Diablo 3 just involves everyone spamming anything they want because pretty much nothing in the game is ever that difficult to overcome for any class.

Item drops, anyone could pick it up in D2, they weren't unique to only your screen, this created far more player interaction and not so easy to get awesome items all of the time, sure it could be annoying at times but that is another thing that IMO adds more competition and less hand holding to the game and again adds more to player interaction. Also with no auction house ever ( Should have never have been in D3 and took way too long for them to remove it ), people actually traded things in game one to one, they made their own game room with a name to state their trade intentions and people joined and bartered.

Sure, there is a large black market now on Diablo 2 where you can buy the items you want for your real cash and someone will deliver it to you ingame, but the games 14 years old and pretty much dead where online community is concerned so Blizzard haven't given a fuck for a long time, that's not my point though, I'm talking about when the game was 'current' and to be judged upon.

Gems and runes, two things that were done much better in Diablo 2 and had far more variety and were actually sought after, in Diablo 3 I had whatever gems I wanted coming out of my ass not far into the game and the stats for them were retarded, why they did away with the damage type and resistances for the gems, along with using that to add difficulty to monsters, I have no idea.

The entire quest system and "room" system, no lobby, I mean what the fuck is this shit in Diablo 3, in Diablo 2 you just created a fucking game however you wanted it, people would see it on the list and join if they wanted to, if you've done the quests they're done, you can still go and kill the bosses again if you want and go wherever you wanted to. It was just a far simpler and straight forward system and I've got no clue why they didn't just try to improve upon that instead of using this lame queue and match making system.

Even with the new loot system in D3, I still far more enjoyed finding decent stuff in Diablo 2 the last time I played it than I did when I played Diablo 3 ( Diablo 2 not so long ago and Diablo 3 very recently ). The skill +'s and certain attributes they could come with meant that when you found an item that was perfect for your class AND build it was far more rewarding than anything I found in Diablo 3, because in D3 it's a simple case of "that weapon is better than that weapon because A is higher than B", where as in Diablo 2 an item could be mediocre for one build of a class but be amazing for another build of the same class.

Well I am just babbling on now between playing with my son and tidying up so it's hard for me to keep track of what I've written, best to end it here as I can probably think of a thousand more paragraphs of things that D3 should have learned from D2 and didn't. I'll happily write more once I've had the chance to read the most likely hard to read paragraphs I've already smashed out onto my keyboard. Or if you have any more specific questions Vibe to as why I feel D3 is a failure of a sequel you can go ahead and ask them lol.

Couldn't agree more with Leesin, many arpg veterans feel that way.
But if you're new and haven't really been into the oldschool arpg's (before TL1), well then you will most likely enjoy playing D3+RoS and if you got the money, well have a go, you will get your hours back.
The game is very easy to get into, you dont need any kind of experience in arpg's, thats D3's strong side, plus it's on consoles as well and actually well converted.

Many of us have different interests in games and like different playstyles as well, so yeah, some like D3 and others don't.
I am on the don't bias, I adore PoE, yes beginning is slow, but you character progress, get faster and better, i love that feel, but to each their own.
@Vibe if you like faster gameplay from the get go, i very much so believe that D3 is something for you, it will deliver, but at least also get RoS, cus D3 vannilla is very restricted on game content, so yeah get on g2a.com or some other 3rdparty gamesite wich lets you buy the keys from cheaper countries so you get a better deal, cus blizz will just rip you off ^^

I've played the patch, I'm not going to pay a full retail price for a brand new game for what is an expansion that changes nothing other than adding a class, an act and a couple new features that have nothing to do with anything I've spoke about. Yes, it's still shit. You probably shouldn't comment if you aren't going to read.

EDIT: Just to clarify, I'm not saying you guys cannot enjoy and play this game, but as people are entitled to state their opinions on why they like it, I am entitled to state my opinions on why I think it's one of the shittiest let downs in the last decade.

Yeah I commented so you'd brand it down to the same argument you had before but without reading 500 sentances, which is what you did now thanks. :wink:
Oh yeah and I honestly don't care what you think or if you are gonna get or not I'm just stating that many have not tried the patch/RoS and blindly shout shit all across the forums around here.
If you have, fine, everyone has opinions right? I'm definitly not telling people to like it.  :P
