I dont agree with the auction house not because it allows people to use money, but they are legalising gold farming for those gold farmers who are forced play 14 hours a day just to sell loot. All because Activision Blizzard wants to earn some steady income from the Diablo 3 community. It's unethical, because gold farming is never something good to begin with.

Personally, i wont use it, just like TF2's Mann Co shop that i will just ignore it.

Also, the always online shit. Even SC2 server had some minor problems at the beginning. And i hate to let my internet connection entirely to determine whether i can play a game i bought or not.

Well, with the current state of the game, i dont think i want it anyway, unless the Beta is really good.

I hate the idea of forcing people to go online to play their games which are not MMOs. Just like when Streamyx PMS, i cant even launch Convinction.

Considering how crap is SC2 and how bad D3 looks now, and also the ridiculous pricing, even if it's good, I still have to think twice because this isn't a good quality blizzard game used to make.

I never say I won't be beta testing this. It's my choice, not your game.

Wow and I thought some of the WoW armor looked rather bad. Now, Blizzard have took it to the next level of fugly.

Despite this guy's character have much higher level than its needed, the game does look pretty good.

Those little physics based effects are nice to see. I just hope Blizzard will leave them in the final game.

On the top of the screen?

Do you own this thread? No, this is a public forum.

Do I have the option to post in this thread? Yes.

Am I breaking any rules for posting here? No.

So, stop acting as if you own the thread and stfu.

Am i trolling here? No i am not, or you guys are just too elitist to take any negative comments?

Am i behaving as if i own the thread? No, i never do that and what benefits do i have from owning a thread?

On the other hand, you are just a pain in the ass as you have always have been in the SC2 subforum. Just one criticism on Blizzard, you have to flame them to death. Is Blizzard perfect? No, they arent from day 1 and no different from any developers.

I am not mad, just annoyed with your childish behavior. You mad? If not, just shut up and stop being an idiot.

Thanks, that works for me too. Idiots will always be idiots.

Look at how mature his post have been.

First of all, i am not coming here all the time to say how shit is Blizzard. They have changed, and definitely not the old Blizzard i used to.

DLCs are definitely annoying, as those content are supposed to be in the game, but removed from it so that they could milk it to the point where some games(DiRT 3 and MTX vs ATV) are just bare bone of what it suppose to be out of the box.

I fine with Oblivion and Fallout, after a while, and i do know some people will find it boring because its a sandbox game than a game that will guide you all the way. Personally, i dont really like sandbox games, especially Stalker which bores me the most, despite it is a favourite for a lot of people. Am i crying murder over it? No, i dont care.

Go look at BF3 thread, i even complained about the crappy initial videos till the Alpha videos.

Look at my previous post, did i say anything negative about it? No, i didnt because i know it gets annoying after a while, so, i just say positive things. I do admit the beta looks good, with the grim dark feel of Diablo 1. Then Quazza just behaving like an idiot as if i am saying BLIZZARD SUCK BALLS, DOTA WILL RULE THEM ALL.

I do still want Diablo 3 because its a game that is "directed" by Jay Wilson that made Dawn of War out of a bunch of scrap and, then, Company of Heroes. He knows what is he doing and he always like to change the games he designed a bit to make it much better than before.

Its just you cant play as Zerg in Wings of Liberty, Protoss is only playable in a couple of missions. Terran is like the main star of the first game. Then, there is a second expansion coming out soon that you are playing Zerg, probably for the whole game. You say its like splitting the first Starcraft game to 3 separate games. Its a lengthy campaign, i would say, even for Wings of Liberty.

You still can play all 3 races in the multiplayer.

Diablo 3 should have whatever we have seen so far. I think Paladin or anything else will appear in the expansion instead but the classes announced will be in Diablo 3, unless Blizzard plans to piss off everyone.

Dont know anyone has found this or not, but it does seem like a little neat thing to read or play around with for those who have no Beta.

Its just a bit strange to me that, is the randomisation of the dungeons are still in the game?

Or it is turned off for now?

Same, even though the gameplay looks solid.

Which means you are supporting piracy. That is unfair and unethical, as Blizzard spent years to make the game, and at the end, they didnt get the reward they deserve because you just pirated the game.

Dont be surprised when you see Blizzard stop making PC games in a few years time.

I know you bought it, but its still kind of unfair to Blizzard, as you are still indirectly supporting those pirates. They are the ones who are ruining the industry.

However, i think SC2 has a reasonable reason for online only as the game sucks if you play offline. The AI is garbage and the campaign will be boring after you beat it once. You would probably play online anyway to enjoy the game.

IMO, Diablo 3 should have some sort of offline play allowed, as its rather annoying if the game cuts you off when you dc. I know i only want to solo the first time round when i play the game, after that, i'll just coop with random pubs or friends. Its difficult to play with friends if you want to slowly enjoy the story and atmosphere of the game. I dont mind if they made the offline character could not go online in any way.

You can see here, how intrusive Diablo 3's DRM can be once you disconnect.

I started to like most of my favourite developer's game (including my favourite Battlefield game, 1942) by pirated games, but that does not mean that you could still pirate them til now. Especially if you have the capabilities to support them. I used to buy at least 1 pirated game almost every week from pasar malam, but now, all my games are original, including those short but great indie games like Limbo or Anomaly. Game developers should be paid for their work, if they made a good job with a game.

And the irony is, some of my favourite developers like Angel who made Midtown Madness, Armed and Dangerous, Westwood and so on are gone now because of piracy.

Same, i have a whole tonne of original games that is enough for me to play till the end of time. Thanks to ridiculously cheap games from Steam, GMG, Impulse and ozgameshop.

I am fine with Beth and probably pre-ordering Skyrim. I wont buy anything with the shitty Ubisoft DRM, though. Diablo is one of them, sadly.

I really want this game.

Blizzard isnt the only decent developers around. You need to try more games and stop confining yourself to Blizzard games. DICE, Valve, Relic, and so on all listened to their fans, and i have enjoyed their games more than Blizzard's recent games.

Blizzard is getting way too conservative as time goes, and they are getting more and more scared to break the mold. This will be their major weakness in a few year's time, as not everyone wants to play the same thing all the time. At the same time, everyone else is pretty much trying new ideas and making new IP. Sure, some failed like C&C4 and DoW2, but some succeed like Mass Effect and Team Fortress 2.

I am not saying Diablo 3 is overconservative, as they did changed quite a lot of stuff in the beta from Diablo 2. Doesnt look like a copy and paste for me, probably due to Jay Wilson, as he knows how to design a game that is better than the previous one, without making it feels like the game changed too much.

C&C4 was bad, but that doesnt mean that C&C series become bad after EA took over. RA3 was the best C&C game for me, because its balanced and 3 races are damn fun to play. The replays were more entertaining to watch than even most SC2 replays due to the shear amount of ridiculously silly thing that good players can do.

Piracy is still the main cause. Mostly not developer's fault because most developers know, more money will roll in if they listened to fans. Thats how Steam become successful, despite it was hated a lot initially, as Valve does that far better than Blizzard.

I dislike the principle of "I like this company, i only buy their ori games and pirate everyone else's work". Its not just Blizzard looking for profit. If you dislike their stuff, dont pirate them and treat them as if it doesnt exist, like Fallout 3 to me.

Then its up to you. A cracked version of SC2 is worthless, as there isnt much you can do. No point breaking it in the first place. Same goes for Diablo 3.

If they dont remove that annoying online only DRM, i wont buy it. Simple, rather than cracking it just to play offline, as its just pointless to begin with as you are not playing the game it is intended to play. Blizzard isnt the only developers around, and there are other alternatives like Torchlight 2, Bastion and Grim Dawn.

True, i am online everyday, but i am not being able to stay online all the time.

Internet problems and disconnection happens.

Okay. I bet thats aint gonna change anything if no one actually complains about how annoying it can be when internet disconnect.
