Why remove NV???

I just completed Inferno last night; after like 400 hours of gameplay (and AFK)... ok, i m a slow leveler... while "end game" has room for improvement, i think Bliz is already doing a good job on this game. (Dont hate me/Bliz) This game is just 2 months old. D2 took years (even after expansion) to be really cool too. Bliz recognized some unexpected result and are rectifying it with 1.1 on the Legendary.

For me, in my recent memory, no other game that can make me play for that long... i made some real money from the game too. so, i have no complain.

i'm curious, did you play D2? how many times you complete D2 ?

A 60% drop in player numbers is no laughing matter, especially for a company who makes their profits from the RMAH. 60% less players, 60% less profit. That's why they decided to come out and tell us that endgame in this game is simply not sufficient because they KNOW that player numbers are dropping way too fast and they KNOW that player retention is a huge issue in this game.

so after all those scary figure, now only bliz decide to lower themself and listen to players opinion ?

Problem with this, you are stating all these as facts, but... all you got are

1. unreliable statistics from dubious sources
2. playing amateur psychologist in second-guessing CM statements

but i do think its true, just look at my own friend list call tell the same; more and more friend away for more and more days, where at peak use to have more than 10 firends, now left around 2-3 still (and i know at least 2 is botting). the rest? neither is having a long afk for chill out, some online kejap see see look look then offline again, or some even no online at all ady.

name 1 game that has this many patches in less than 2 months:

2.1 Patch 1.0.3a – v.1.0.3.10235 - June 26th, 2012
2.2 Patch 1.0.3 – v.1.0.3.10057 - June 19th, 2012
2.3 Patch 1.0.2c – v.1.0.2.9991 - June 11, 2012
2.4 Patch 1.0.2b – v.1.0.2.9950 - June 6, 2012
2.5 Patch 1.0.2a - v.1.0.2.9858 - May 31, 2012
2.6 Patch 1.0.2 - v.1.0.2.9749 - May 29th, 2012
2.7 Retail Patch 0 - v.1.01.9558 - May 15th, 2012

they adjust the Inferno Act2 onwards almost immediately after the game released... now working on 1.04 and 1.1... for me, they listen more than anyone else...

dont like Mass Effect 3 ending? wait for next DLC in 6 or more months...

what i mean is "listen to what player wan" patch/fix , not "bliz doing wat they want" kind of patch.

and if u notice the patch, most of them can be categorize as "bliz doing wat they want" patch (minus the one they make inferno easier and some of those bug fix).

these so called patch, majority is purpose to making casual players life in D3 harder, and i'm not please at all...

- does ANYONE actually remembered that inferno was meant to be for the elite of elite? meant for hardcore players?
now everyone and their mom are clearing inferno, WHY is that?

*
helo, ppl is leaving becuz they have nothing to do in the game, not becuz they finish inferno.
hardcore players ? tell me how many hardcore players you know ? majority player in D3 are casual players. if bliz design inferno to target those minority hardcore so these player can "have something to do", then i can assure bliz is digging their own grave.
and IF you claim that alot ppl finish inferno level, give some prove here which I dont think this is true.
so far, inferno level is still challenging and MAJORITY of the player is leaving. WHY ?
its just D3 game is not good enuf, and the game itself cannot make the player to keep on playing. this is the real FACT.

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Jul 5 2012, 12:13 PM)
hell, because the game is so easy and lol some bots can even bot in inferno, everything is losing its value and eventually, the value of end game and ultimately the game itself.

*
no , i dont think is because the game is easy.

the game itself is not solid enuf, not worth replay and the value of the game itself is not there.

and bot is the main reason why gold and item is losing the value, and again NO, game is not easy cuz if u farm all by urself, + with all those nerf and patch by bliz, human control farming is just disgusting and no fun at all. go ask ur friend who bot, u will understand what is the real reason gold and item value drop like they jumping from 14th floor.

its just purely the D3 game is not good enuf.

SC2 > D3

SC2 has FAR more replay values than D3, the ladder system is enough to keep you laddering for a lifetime unlike D3 inferno endgame lul

finish campaign , tried some ladder game ... but i know i not competitive enuf , so ...

i didnt say the game is beta..just the whole community says so..
i say the game didnt go thru proper planning and no contingency steps taking appropriately, if u been playing the game since day1 of release u would have notice that theres no end game..which i dont really care atm but the step to handle the economy is really stupid...increase repair cost??WTF? so in other words..if u play inferno which Jay said its meant to he hell difficult...true....reason is because there is no drops that prepares you for it..which is a con job. not only that as u die and progressively not progress in game u lose money...so...hows that a "step" to balance out the economy?

pretty stupid idea if you ask me...its like they have not put much taught before executing such a dumbass idea.
*
yea i actually get what you try to tell... its like the whole game itself is not yet mature, but somehow its released...

waited near 10 year for D3 but end up get this kind of game quality ... really really sad as this is so not acceptable (for myself and at my opinion, those who still think D3 is good plz go on and continue play it and let me continue my ranting here, as i'm not here to stop you to play D3 , thank you)...

judge from the previous response and some other comment, it seems that some still quite enjoy the D3 with their own particular reason... mebi they can accept it but sorry , definitely not me, i cannot accept this D3...

From Mr Bashiok :

We recognize that the item hunt is just not enough for a long-term sustainable end-game. There are still tons of people playing every day and week, and playing a lot, but eventually they're going to run out of stuff to do (if they haven't already). Killing enemies and finding items is a lot of fun, and we think we have a lot of the systems surrounding that right, or at least on the right path with a few corrections and tweaks. But honestly Diablo III is not World of Warcraft. We aren't going to be able to pump out tons of new systems and content every couple months. There needs to be something else that keeps people engaged, and we know it's not there right now.

Maybe answer your question ?

... sounds like they try quite hard to explain why the heck more and more ppl is leaving D3
