Interesting read imo. Exactly the same what most people are complaining here

Source

Even if its bad, people have waited for 10 years. So definitely they will want to finish the game also

yah. what done cannot be undone.
lets hope they have expansion storyline on adriel and the evil is not banished yet. diablo is still out there.

diablo 3 is in its own league and still enjoyable to a certain part. Juz enjoy d game you bought with your hard earned money guys no point keep disappointing

I love D3 more than D2.

I guess its probably the server issue that everyone's having after the game launched on last tuesday.

I did have the flat empty map problem today, because the server is behaving funny. And also 2k ping spikes.

Still, i find Diablo 3's launch is much better than Starcraft 2's stability on the first week. At least it's playable, most of the time. Starcraft 2 was unplayable for the first 2-3 days.

people complaining and ironically, they still continues to play it. Haters will hate, likers will like. Who cares.

mostly its the server connection issues..which will be sort out soon. and frankly ive been playing smooth for the past few days. just chill out when the server is down/maintenace..take a sip of coffee..read a newspaper..go outside! you'll have plenty of time playing this game as it doesnt require any monthly fees.

for me D3 do stands as the best game for 2012..the first game that I truly playing with my friends..the excitement everytime i got a rare or even EPIC (got only 1 so far) is priceless.

Relax adria very geng one. She will find world stone and summon diablo again.

coop with friends is very fun honestly, but the gameplay is too simply and the story is short

actually it is not that short..well it will feel short if your playing it non stop lol.
FYI diablo 2 took around 14-15 hours to complete the main story line. i took almost twice that much time to finish diablo 3 lol.
unless ur korean then 8 hour time is no problem.

This post has been edited by chrommed: May 20 2012, 07:56 PM

lol. Agreed lil bit. Still love D2 and LoD is epic! Gonna replay it once i beat D3.

at the moment, i still prefer D2 > D3

D2 is definitely better for its darker ambiance and surrounding... though D3 is still good for me. Still liking it.

Strangely I've nvr got the issues that disconnects me or gave me some weird bugs. I've only got some latency spike and some down time (server maintenance)..

honestly i found that both d2 and d3 got pros and cons.. for me, i still prefer to classic way of learning skill with synergies like in d2 but skill system in d3 also not bad..

for storyline i prefer d3.. d2 storyline more straightforward.. but d3 give u a few key factors that could become spoilers if u didnt finish it yet.. no spoiler for d2 tho.. "so what's the story in d2?" "well, u go act 3 u kill mephisto, u go act 4 u kill diablo.. thats it i guess"

single player in d3? just create ur own game and dont let anyone to enter, there ur single player.. or u mean offline play? i think there are a few factors blizzard wants it online.. one is DRM.. and the other factor is d2 itself.. d2 famous with their battle net play with ladders.. but no ladders in d3.. maybe can suggest to blizzard to add a ladder for hardcore chars.. and another one is to encourage coop play..

graphics? cant expect much as blizzard is not a graphic whore game.. (unless for cinematics of course) see WoW.. but it really improves from d3.. in terms of geometry and skill animations.. have u seen skill animation for monk?

gameplay too short? have u been to inferno yet?

boss fight? i think d3 better with all the phases when fight main boss..

yeah, i can see that they will release expansion for d3.. lets wait for that.. hope they will be a comeback for paladin

agree with Pijal,
put aside all the connection problems, it is a great game.

Story. The story, voice, environment and animation does make D3 is more alive compare to D2.

Character System. At first I hate they remove the stat/skill customize, but I realize as my life is busy, each class only train once really sounds good to me, if i want change play-style just change skill & equipments.

Battle System. No major change from D2, rush rush rush then face elites/champions.

GamePlay. No major change from D2, also 4 acts, it is not Dragon Age and heavy story game, but rather the Diablo series core gameplay is still based on equipment finding.

Graphic. It is presentable enough to interpret the diablo world and run smooth on my PC

Yes, compare to D2, lot of things are removes, but as a busy employee I feel that it is more fit to the market, so i guess they are doing the right thing to keep the number of players. If too complicated and hardcore, maybe scared new/busy players away.

I got a few issues with how the story presented itself, to be honest.

But before I elaborate, I would like to say SPOILER ALERT!!!

The problem is that, some key points are not thoroughly fleshed out. The most jarring that I got is from Act II, end of Act III and the game ending itself.

Act II




Act III


Game ending

No doubt u might think D3 sux, but it is still the best sux game out there and im enjoying every minute of it

too bad i prefer D2>d3 also
excuess having more skill on rune but end up only few usable rune

gameplay ok just the map really small

D1 n 2 have better soundtrack,

D3 sounds ptui

Cough, I saw that coming even before I killed zoltun kulle

limited number of runes forces you to make a decision which one is best for a certain situation, which is a good thing. you have to strategize and really customize your skills rather than 1 skill that can do everything at any time.

ayam somewhat agree...

Other than graphic is alot (or maybe abit) better quality, and almost 3D (zoom function), i cant see anything more interesting than Diablo II.

Except D3 can be played online, but i think D2 can too although i never tried.

I was just playing starter edition and wasnt really trying very hard, and had already max lvl 11 and killed skeleton king..

kekekeke... you might, I don't. But my character does, and that is a bit strange for me.

I am experienced in Diablo & Diablo 2. I completed Diablo 3 Normal mode.

I can't help but feel something is missing in Diablo 3. However, ppl who never played Diablo before might like this a lot.
Overall, I have mixed feeling with this game.

Story:
It is a bit rushed. I dun understand how Leah's father is Diablo. You mean her mother has s e x with a giant red demon???
Also, Tyrael looks bad, like an old Mexican... lol. At least make him look legendary face, like Qui Gon Jin in Star Wars.
The final Prime Evil feels stupid in the story. I never knew evil demon can be so dumb.
Very lacked of NPC development and story, perhaps it is because I am accustomed to Warcraft story.

Gameplay:
I like the skill animation. Enemy difficulty is pretty ok. Nightmare mode is interesting when running with friends.
Depth of the gameplay is a bit shallow for me. Diablo 2 gameplay is more detailed, allowing user to customize different build.
Why they take out the talent tree??? These can make the game more interesting and allow ppl to sell their characters in RMAH.
The D3 world is too small. Too linear. I expect side quests and as we progress to higher difficulty level, new areas are uunlocked.

Graphic:
Initially it feels weird. After a while, I think it is definitely more artistic than Diablo 2. But no more gothic horror feel.
Overall this direction is still acceptable for me.

I still like D3 comapre to D2. I think the story line is quit ok ....
If you really talk to the npc and listen every word they say is interesting.
You might check whether have you really explore it by viewing the achivement of chatting with NPC

IMO
- D2 built for RPG
- D3 built for MMMoRPG

dude spoiler man!

AH not bad later i play cause crafting is expensive and so hard to get thing you want ah same price get better

I like AH that way

i just hate the fact that tyrael tok so much about being the pureness of justits but never loan me his asskicking sword wen i battle big daddy or is it now mama

wait until u play inferno ...

my friend at level 15 play in normal difficulty die like every 5 min, he said D3 is really much harder to play than D2 (he's a D2 player).

I enjoyed Diablo 3, but I enjoyed Diablo 2 even more when it came out 12 years ago.
My major gripe with the game is how they shifted the focus from the world to the gameplay. Here are some major points

Diablo 2
- World is a living and breathing one, and epic in scale with very interesting towns and locations. Day/night & weather cycles set the tone for the world
- NPCs are actually interesting. In Diablo 2, NPCs move around and react to changes in the world. I still remember all the interesting conversations I had with the npcs in the game, just to name a few, the ever charming Warriv, greedy Gheed, scumbag Geglash, the sexy and silver-tongued Asheara, the enigmatic Natalya
- In Diablo 2, you are an adventurer in this world, and before you head out into danger, you would do well to prepare yourself. Health & mana potions, antidote, stamina and thawing potions are all available at your disposal to prepare you for anything that might come in your way

Diablo 3
- The world is very artificial, very confined spaces just to get from point A to point B, and kill monsters in the process
- NPCs are just there to sell or repair your stuff. The npc backstory and conversations feel forced

It's not like Diablo 2 you have tons of skills to use all the time. Usually it's just maximizing your points into a few most useful skills nia. Plus once put in the points and it's permanent. D3 actually give us much more flexibility and options, and it's only 1 week after game launch ler..

I notice something unfair.
When people compare D2 to D3, they are comparing D2 +LoD +3 years of patches and content, while D3 is just a newly release (vanilla).
They should compare D2 vanilla with D3 vanilla.
D2 vanilla has no runes, no skill synergy and other stuff that make it so great.

This leave room for an expansion?

im actually quite happy with the backtory in D3. i feel really close to my hirelings especially my fave the "gentleman thief" scoundrel when we chit chat while fighting together.

scoundrel: theres this one girl i know, shes fair as a sun.

me: then why did you leave her?

scoundrel: well my friend, every sun must set.

epicness

12year of work can done within 7 hrs
only 6 skill can be use
long potion cooldown

lack of customization

doesnt say they game were very bad just lack of
map very repeat

if u bothered to listen to all the conversations,



if this helps, he's in human form when making sweet love

aaaaa now i know y d3 took 12 years to launch

most of it is due to AH, DRM, dumbing down for console entrance, leave it open to World of Diablo

there

D3 is not comparable to MMORPG like World of Warcraft.
Blizzard can make D3 shines out much more by adding better RPG & MMORPG elements in the game.

For example:
Build real cities like Dragon Age 1. Allow side quests. This builds up story in Sanctuary
and the ppl living in it. They could have done this by following some aspect of World of Warcraft.
Players will venture outside the city surrounding region to quests and fight bosses.
Also builds up story for Followers. This bumps up the longevity of the game.
In WoW, the game can lasts for a few years!

Give character statistics to play around.
Give them the option to tweak the face they want. Dun want everyone look like old man... lol
Maybe also allow Fallout type of traits they can take during character development.
E.g. someone choose trait that at night, he/she improved accuracy of hit?

The auction house looks and performed ok. But do we really need to exit the game to go to Auction House?
Why dun access it during game at city?

My take is that, the storyline is just full of cliches and DUH moments. And the tries-to-be-but-not-scary-at-all environment that one was a big LETDOWN for me.

For people who enjoys the looting and collecting stuff, they will enjoy this game. the "hates gonna hate but people still plays it anyway" is not really true anyway, since there aren't any new alternatives (torchlight 2 is not gonna be here anytime soon), people who enjoys this sorta games have no choice but to suck up. It only mean that the game is not all that great like the hype.


That one was a real downer for me, but not like what you said. It's more like



And at Act III



That was a serious DUH moment for me.


But what everybody is saying is exactly true. D3's single player is not really a single player mode, but a multiplayer mode just by yourself that's really stupid IMO. If you exit the game halfway, then the whole dungeon's gone. If I REALLY want the whole dungeon gone, I could've just started from whatever point that I want from the menu, since they have that feature!

The separate loot for each player is a nice addition.
The still-funny logic that demons carry gold.... in hell.... is still ridiculous
The dumbed-down Normal for insane Hell difficulty is great for every kinds of players.
The one-stash-for-all-characters is great.
The Followers story is good, but not great. No sidequests? Why build a half-way story-featureset?
The statistics system based on your item is great. So many many viable builds instead of two-three builds for each character in Diablo 2.
The limited skills is good, but again, not great. If you're gonna limit skills from 20+ in Diablo 2 to just four, you're just asking for hatred ler
The many, many merchants.... what's the point really? And no merchant side quests? (at least till Act III, since I haven't finished Act III yet)



True, and I agree. My significant other tried this game (I exposed her to minecraft before) and she LOVED IT. It seems scary for her and not for me at all, which makes me wonder, maybe it was scary for us in Diablo 2, and after 10+ years we've all grown up and got exposed to the world, that games like this is not scary at all anymore.

haven't finish d3 yet but so far loving it... thank heavens for auto gold pick up

other than the usual skill tree issues I felt the weapons system quite funny... ie. dh use melee weapons can shoot arrows? lol.. at least last time use same hero can switch between melee and ranged weapons when the situation calls for it...

not here to quarrel just not much rune is workable
like WD many rune were mana leech
end up you will take leech HP
i prefer more skill than rune

mindless spam since D2 you know you have the potion slot, which mean you can choose which potion to use on anytime
sometime you need less 1000hp or 2500hp potion now stuck with 1

too many so called veteran players critic on Diablo 3..LOL

but i still enjoy diablo 3 more because of co-op and the it required broadband connecton to play

last time diablo 2, i was student and no money to buy original copy, so ends up playing single player alone with pirated version.

now everyday i will complete my office task more efficient and go home on time.. then meet my colleagues/ friends in the game.. also told my GF that i will only spend time with her during weekend until i reach level 60 at least....LOL

Diablo 3 is not a MMORPG, but MORPG.
No persistence world but with room/session based gameplay.
like Dragon Nest, League of Legends and Sudden Attack, many people on the server but you only play with a set number of people and cannot affect the game world.

Many blizzard will make World of Diablo Online?

I played D1 and D2 and found D3 to be a good sequel.
It was an improvement over some of the annoying things in D2.
Sure D3 is dumb down abit for mass market, but the change encourage player to adapt new strategies and become more flexible.

Somehow i think that even D1 is scarier than D3.. by the way im in nightmare act2 now.. quite challenging.. nightmare mode only i started to enjoy the game abit as not like chopping around in normal mode..

Added on May 21, 2012, 2:25 pmto me i think that RMAH might not as a good move.. maybe is because im that kind of person who is willing to pay only for the game but not willing to pay real money for eq...

Heard of Torchlight 2?



Torchlight 2 is very similar to Diablo 2, but with very unique features that no other action RPGs have.
I particularly love

- Can be played in offline mode, LAN and internet connection
- Infinite dungeon (the game will basically never end)
- Fame system (it's basically a title system like Diablo 2, where you will get a title after completing each difficulty whereas in Torchlight, it's governed by the amount of fame you get)
- Shared stash (in fact Torchlight 1 was the first action RPG with this system)
- Fishing (able to fish up food for pets and occasional random loot)
- Pet system (able to send pets to town to sell items. In Torchlight 2, they revamped this even further, they added many new pets and also a shopping list, where you can get your pet to buy stuff like potions, scrolls from town for you)
- Lots of new features: auto arrange items, item filters

It sounds a lot like what Diablo 3 should've been, if the D3 devs listened to fans.

it may seem that way in the beginning but im pretty sure as we go on we will find uses for what seems as useless runes in teh beginning. especially when pvp is implemented later on. cant wait to see what crazy combination of skill ppl r going to use.

i understand after years of playing the same kind of system we tend to stick to it and shun new ones as we have to discard all that we have learned and familiarized to re-learn the game again. starting anew makes us feel like a noob and that scares the shit out of a lot of people. so we can see a lot of people dissed the new system without even bothering to understand what new challenges it brought with it. fear of the unknown. it's normal.

yeah choosing between a big pot and small pot can be challenging at times i guess..

Jay Wilson already said that they won't balance pvp in Diablo 3. So, certain class combinations and spec will be overpowered.

he did? can i has sawse?

D1, there's no outdoors.. it's catherdral all the way down to the crust of the earth and then hell

implementing RMAH is a win win situation since there's gonna be a pvp function, ppl will want to get better gears to stay on the competitive edge. Like it or not, RMT will happen regardless so blizzard might as well give players this option which provides a more secure transaction and earn money while at it.

Sorry, it was Bashiok, not JW.

http://hydramist.tv/diablo-3/blizzard-anno...-sport-for-you/

If World of Warcraft's pvp scene is any indication, you should give D3 pvp a miss
I can bet it won't be balanced at all.



PVP in Diablo 3 will be:

Match begin!
Red Team: Oh look, Blue Team's a...
Blue Team wins!
Red Team: ... cleave team

haha, never heard of it, not a gamer, just follow the hype and play blizzard games


frankly speaking, SC2 is my 1st ori game, then diablo 3 my 2nd

SC1 still my favourite game for all time, i still remember i was so enjoy playing 4on4 with my friends at CC... everytime talked about the past during our yum cha session, we will have a good laugh

never interested in pvp anyway. coop FTW

i do think that even outdoor can be very scary.. at least i experienced that in D2.. not really hate the D3.. but i think we deserve to get even more better than the current 1 with the money we paid.. just hope they will make a big patch/update to give more fun to the gamers.. RMAH is where bliz earns pocket money with tax on every transaction.. hehe.. and the players crazy spending money on the eq just to beat others in pvp.. i think only win situation for bliz... all the gamers will lose no matter how..

yah i think the less scary part is not because the game itself is not scary, but its that we all have grown up lol. and i actually find some levels such as the halls of torture (or was it agony?) is pretty grim. i dont really notice the difference in that aspect compared to diablo 1. maybe because now there are more interactive stuff such as can crush bugs/scorpions etc, talkative companion, npc found here and then in the middle of dungeons the "dead air" and "alone in the dark" atmosphere of diablo 1 is lessen quite a bit.

---

Added on May 21, 2012, 3:17 pmhmm i guess that sucks abit. but the reason is pretty understandable i guess, particularly about the PvP vs PVE balancing stuff. i wonder how diablo 2's pvp works? my D2 experience was purely PvE as i, well.. you know.

This post has been edited by Shadow Kun: May 21 2012, 03:17 PM

LOL...I would like to get his sword too..

u guys so mean la. dat sword got medicine for tyrael's chronic amnesia u know. take it away and he fogot who he is again.

I'm an average player and I played both D2 and D3, I can tell u D3 is not bad at all ...

the small complain is that single play also need internet connection, and D3 is much harder than D2 and require more skill to play ... try play inferno difficulty and u'll cry.

I'd take this over this new Diablo 2 2.0 anytime.



RIP Blizzard North.

The reason they put 6 skills is because they want you to choose which are the active skills you want to have. Rather than bid all 10 skills on your keyboard and call it a day. I partly think that it is also to allow the game to be ported to consoles. Still, it works for me, as i am actually thinking about what skill to bind to my limited 6 skills, instead of binding everything i have to my keyboard in Torchlight.

The maps randomised a fair bit, especially with the positions of the dungeons, but the main layout is pretty much the same, as i far as i know. Torchlight 2's randomisation is epic, btw, so buy Torchlight 2 if you hate Diablo 3 so much. Torchlight 2 plays a whole lot more like Diablo 2 than Diablo 2 to Diablo 3.

I was actually pretty disappointed with the game as a whole. There is absolutely nothing in the game that strikes me as amazing, challenging or well thought out.

People saying Inferno is tough? Bullshit. Its just like all the other previous difficulties with more monster affixes and ten times the health. Bar a few elites which nobody can kill (Vampiric, Teleport, Fast, Shielding), every other elite is a walk in the park.

I'm on Act II Inferno right now and the only thing you do is:

1) Does this weapon drop have more DPS than my current weapon?
2) Does this armor drop have more primary stat that my current armor part.


78 hours in, 23k DPS later and I feel no reason to improve my character any more. Why should I when I can just buy stuff off the AH?

Lets not even talk about Method and all the other "top players" in the world who exploited the resplendent chest bug in Act II for their 1k+ DPS weapons.

the most dissapointing blizzard title since starcraft 2. Oh wait...

Added on May 21, 2012, 10:42 pmblizzard's game isnt just to finish it. If u want to finish a game go play Lara croft or batman or whatever adventure games out there. Blizzard has a history of making games with extremely high replay value and depths where its hardcore gamers will continue for years and years.

For diablo 3...i'm bored after 5 days. There isnt anything to do, no decisions to make...they set and give u everything..u dont even have to pick your stats and skills..u cant customise your characters...items are downright boring...every item is the same..just cosmetic changes...my witch doctor is carrying a pole arm WTF....and wizards and barbs wear the same exact amour and the legendary weapons suck (as seen in AH)...there is no difference between the classes (they are all DPS) except for the way they fight (choose range or melee, and thats about it)...etc etc

---

Added on May 21, 2012, 10:45 pmAnd yeah...anybody notice how small the maps are? its like u finish an area and u have to talk to somebody who will always force u back to town to talk to somebody who then ask u to talk to somebody who then ask u to go to this place to talk to somebody and then u enter a door fight for a while in dungeons that lasts 5 minutes or so...then talk to somebody at the door who then lead u back to town to talk to cain who ask u to go talk to somebody and repeat and repeat and repeat. And you have to repeat this 3 times for normal, nightmare and Hell (inferno doesnt matter, u'll die before u can talk to anybody).

What do ppl do after they finish Hell? In D2, ppl start to farm item...but considering the annoying flow of the game as mentioned above, how on earth can they farm items smoothly without the inconvenience of having to talk to so many NPCs after every short fights?

Added on May 21, 2012, 10:50 pmIts not bad for a fun casual game if it was made by some indy developer. But this is a blizzard title. its abysmal compared to their other releases.

This post has been edited by teongpeng: May 21 2012, 10:50 PM

Boss fight is very disappointing in D3. Can't believe it is too ez. Mobs are harder than boss. game play too short. Not much different between, Normal, nightmare, hell and inferno except mobs hit harder and higher HP.

today. officially. i get bored. of diablo3.







p.s esp barbarian that need to kite non stop to kill a pack of rare mob. zzz

in one way, they've added a few 2012 user-friendly features into the game mechanics, like the health globe, teleport, auto-gold,etc.

And yet, for a company this big, they STILL reuse textures and models for a higher-level (champion) character. Easy-Med-Hard difference in just harder/faster/stronger enemies. Oh, so Diablo 2 got a sand desert city, let's just reuse that.

Lazy, lazy, lazy.

Know what kind of mechanics is this? It was used in old, old RPGs, in old, old games like Contra. That micro genius version. Heck, this is the same lazy (by 2012 standard) system used in TETRIS!


That is a big letdown to me. Not to mention that here you have this beautiful, big architecture, and no damn way to interact with.


And all this may not mean so much, but when I found out that WoW developers made this game, then all of the big shit stuff that people are saying makes perfect sense!


- the MMORPG approach (screw MORPG or some random shit term man, IT IS MMORPG! arguing semantics doesn't make you win)
- the day1 patch
- the so-suddenly-its-a-coming-soon-feature
- the tries-to-have-the-diablo-feel-but-fails
- huge but inaccessible and useless environment
- wtf man I see in background you have this HUGE monsters either fighting or doing something, but when it comes to you (like in a boss fight) they're like the anak or baby this is just faking lazy!


All this, coming from Blizzard, who I remind you, keep telling people that Diablo 3 will be released WHEN IT'S READY. And everybody knows that the game definitely IS NOT READY YET. This game alone is proof that Blizzard is not like what it stands before. So many changes keep happening, even during months before release date can only mean bad, bad, bad! That's when you're supposed to tweak the story a bit, add in stuff, balance it out, and not change the whole damn system.





Well I should've known, but I guess like many people, the fanboy in me is stronger than the logical me. And for those who laughs at the idea that D3 is in fact more like Diablo 2 2.0, consider this: first you fight in a church, then desert/sewer, finally in heaven/hell. in D2. and D3. Of every single farking city in the diablo world, they reuse the same locations with different names. Tell me that's not lazy.

Atleast it had a better ending than Mass Effect 3.

well... despise all the screaming here, i amaze on how many ppl actually play the game :\

this thread should have named "this is spoiler do not open"

i lvl 56 now...also starting to feel bored already. This game is not worth for the amount i paid. It should be much more cheaper. Pity those who bought CE lol.

lol spoilers!

hmm...why?

then u don't feel bored when reaching level 40++ at diablo2 ? if no, care to explain why?

eh that works in interno too?

Scream all you want, it is because the original Diablo 2 team already left Blizzard long ago so there is no continuity here.

*Imagines Diablo2 with Auction House* that would be perfect !

EDIT: Even the maps are not randomized, its FIXED you know exactly where to go for the next objective

This post has been edited by tanghm: May 22 2012, 10:04 AM

it's call 'nit-picking' mang

if blizzard release the game fast, they'll complain there's no quality and blizzard lost the 'touch'
if blizzard release the game late, they'll complain about blizzard is doing thing too slow
if blizzard release the game late with the same class and same skill set, they'll complain about blizzard running out of ideas
if blizzard release the game with different mechanic, they'll say blizzard developed a not-diablo-ish game and use the title for franchise purpose,

The D2 team went and created Hellgate right? That game really pissed me off. I bought the copy and only played for a couple of months before they went bust!

Anyway, I'm pretty happy with Diablo 3, nothing fancy or "wow"..

Basically every single top DPS weapon you see in the AH is a direct result of their exploit. They basically reran the resplendent chest in Blood & Sand that was guaranteed to spawn at the same spot every single time. This let them gear themselves up to the point they could solo Act IV, more notably on their wizard using hydra.

It has since been hotfixed, long before I managed to get into Inferno.

yep. despite a lot of complaints about how the game is dumbed down or boring you can see a lot more people who actually plays discussing builds and strategies and in game stuff in class specific threads and many other threads. these people are actually enjoying their game to even bother adressing to these complainers who mostly still living in the past and some havent even played and just talking based on critics/complaints they read.

so far i am happy with the game.

Actually they do need to fix the itemization. Currently there is no point to legendaries as a blue will outclass it 90% of the time because the only stats you ever need on a weapon are damage, primary stat and IAS.


Legendaries should be special. They don't have to be amazing damage, they just need to do things that other weapons can't. Windforce is a good example, it provides knockback which is a very rare affix. That gives me reason to make a knockback build.

Right now 90% of the legendaries and set equipment are trash. Why should I use Danetta's set when my own yellows have more stat benefit that a set that you may never see.

Itemization is very very dumbed down and I hope they fix it because the game has potential. Combat is quite pleasing, bar the occasional impossible 4 affix elites.

+1!!

Too many /k/fag here whining lol, no matter what u give them, they sure say not enough, u give them 50 virgin together in their D3 box also, they ask why not 1,001 virgins, 50 too little =p

Overall, D3 gameplay did improved a lot compare to D2.

I played from D1->D2->D3.... the 1990s days of gaming.... Haha....


PS: If they add PVP. then you'll see realtime competition =]

blizzard had already addressed to people that legendary items might not be the best items in game in one of the responses, rares and unique items should have higher status than the legendary ones so there's diversity of each person.

instead of coming here and whine about what you don't know and cause unneeded attention, how about you go directly to blizzard forums and ask? if you're lucky enough you'll get responses from blizz supports to clarify

Actually quite sad that they didn't have any set items in the game.

Did you even read my post? I said they don't have to be the best. What part of that don't you get? They must be special enough to justify being unique and that is via doing stuff normal weapons cannot do, much like in D2. I've read all the responses for and against the argument by both Blizzard proponents and opponents for the case.

Windforce is good, it has knockback. This alone lets me design a build based on that property. Why can't OTHER legendaries do something special? Doesn't have to be the top DPS, just has to do something different to make them legendary. Variety is good.

If anything, its YOU who don't know what you're talking about.

LOL EPIC.

Please Play till Level 60 and try again.

Set item exist.

I do agree to this, i find the brown and green item stat could lose to a rare stat anytime,

But zeratos dont u think normally a leg item outwin 90% of the same blue item of it's level?

And all the item have min max, maybe someone who find a "max stat leg" will feel the luxury of owning it?

Since enchantment of +1+2+3+4-----+100 does not exist in this game, maybe the min max stat was meant to felt you're holding a exquisite item compare to the rest of the flocks.

It was sarcasm.
Have no idea why they would only allow set items to drop when you are level 60. In D2, a set item may drop off the first zombie you kill.

Blue post already said that perfect yellow > perfect legendary. This is acceptable IF a legendary does something special.

I would trade damage for say higher chance to pierce on hungering arrow. That makes the legendary truly legendary cause other weapons can't get it and you must sacrifice something for it.

as a reward? make things easier kena tiau make things more challenging and rewarding kena tiau oso kah?

Blizzard might as well swap the category > magic item to legendary , than legendary to magic
