Bobo : here's the interview.

Allright, long rant ahead. I always pride myself as sort of gamer with high tolerance. I can tolerate ridiculous DRM, I can tolerate every T&C Valve, Ubisoft, Activision and EA throw at me, cause I just love playing games I like. Diablo 3 is no exception. Despite its flaw, I enjoy for what it is. Insane minions at Inferno difficulty ? I can fight another day. The developer nerf'd certain important skills to death ? I bit the bullet and adept.

However, somehow, the D3 staff had found a way to press my button, to rustle my jimmy, which is this.

Dear current D3 staff (especially Mr. Jay Wilson),

I am not sure what happen between you and David Brevik, but here's the fact. David Brevik CREATED Diablo. It is his baby he seen it grew from 1994 (around that time). Despite Blizzard North got closed he still has concern for this game, HIS game. What he expressed that things might be different (or better) if his Blizzard North still around. Did he ninja jab at you in the interview ? Maybe. Did he outright slaughter you in the interview ? Nein. He knows that you and your staff need some dignity left to continue fixing the game, yet shown concern as much as others who had quitted the game because the game is different, far off from what they saw in Diablo 2.

What is your reply Mr. Wilson ?

F uck this loser.

Really, eef this loser ? Really ?

This loser you called created a legacy that propelled to what Blizzard is today. This loser had sent many teens into their basement to grind their preferred characters and examine with their know-hows. Where were you without him ? Would you be standing here today, telling people to be grateful and label every player who preferred Diablo 2 a bunch of "rose tinted glass wearers" ? Diablo 3 managed to sell so well in first week because this game WAS RIDING ON DIABLO 2 AND LORD OF DESTRUCTION HYPE TRAIN. People expected to be an updated version of Diablo 2 and its expansion, and when it is out, you know the rest of the story which I won't be repeating. It will be just another Diablo clone which failed to innovate if it wasn't for slapping the word "Diablo" onto it.

You bitten the hands that fed you.

You insulted the creator of this series he built and radically changed its established system.

You had insulted what basically an opinion that shared by the majority, thus insulting everyone who bought Diablo 3 and looking forward to the improvement.

You are a disgusting human being.

I praying everyday from now that you will have sleepless night until Blizzard decided that you are just a liability and shit you out.

As for your colleague who brought up Hellgate : London, it was a pathetic jab at David Brevik. At least before Hellgate he created Diablo. Where were you back then ? I ask you again, where were you when Diablo was created ?

This is the 3rd or 4th time I read this since yesterday.
Now you open a new thread. 

slow la brotha

edit: I thought u quit?

Well it is mentioned in the D3 post, and yeah I actually waited for someone to create a thread about it.

I repost my post. And yes i am still mad.

I never got the chance to comment

ROFL, nice try. My D3 account is tied to my WoW account and I'm still playing WoW. Cannot give you

Dammit... you quit but keep coming back to post negative stuff.

Whyyyy you're just like that Chrommed guy

i still think this deserved to be shared among the community, its quite unproffesional of him to do that, even for personal standards, i find that cheap, i used to have neutral views bout this Jay Wilson guy, but after this? lol

IGN - One of the most influential Games Magazine Online

READ THIS ARTICLE.....
------------------------------------------------------

Apparently, a hacker hack Jay Wilson Facebook, and help Jay wilson replay David's comment about D3,
Not only Jay wilson facebook account hacked, together with most of the Blizzard South Team reply fiercely in David's comments because of account being hacked?????

Now you sounds like a d _ _ _ a _ _ ( fill in the blank yourself )

Yeap, same standard for you. 
It is indeed a game after all.

........... ...............

Then why jay wilson appologized on his own facebook, and this news spread like wild flame among major Website.

Any one can be jay wilson..........       Are 95% of people on earth are dumb ass?? we dont know how to clarify the identity of a facebook member?..

Firstly, we do not know what really happened between these guys.
David the creator of Diablo, commented the latest D3, nothing rude but critical comments.
Jay Wilson replied : Fxck that Loser!
As a Game director of Super AAA title, from one of the biggest Game Developer on earth. Jay's reply = LOSER, SHAME, DISHONORED,

Thirdly, we do not know the authenticity of such snap shot.
Again, Then why jay wilson appologized on his own facebook??????

IF YOU DONT AWARE WHAT HAPPEN RIGHT NOW, please go understand it clearly before posting any useless comment here.... You sound like people here are dumb ass(like who dont know what actually here)....

google " jay wilson david brevik"

Read what I typed again.

Just want to let you know, your idea about " jay wilson facebook account being hacked "

make you sound like a _ _ _ b _ _ s ( fill in the blank again )

man f*** that loser who likes to say f*** that loser but srsly f*** that loser who said f*** that loser because f*** that loser who said f*** that loser

What you posted there is just one of the most insanely idiotic things I've read here(ignoring those you've posted justifying how legal it is for you to bot)the level of stupidity you're portraying is beyond measure. Wasn't it f#cking obvious that IncGamers were baiting him to answer the questions as David did given his previous position in Blizzard? Anyone can be Jay Wilson, but when you have one whole f#cking wall full of commentaries by the developers and staffs of D3, you still doubt the credentials? No, it wasn't Jay Wilson's fault to be exact. Like I said, the interview baited the questions and if you were to be in JW's shoes, you'd say the same if not worst. Your post doesn't even make sense let alone a coherent and rational thought. You drunk when posting?

i still think this deserved to be shared among the community, its quite unproffesional of him to do that, even for personal standards, i find that cheap, i used to have neutral views bout this Jay Wilson guy, but after this? lol

another d _ _ b ass.

i never said BOT is LEGAL.

I just said i never scared about botting in game.
I study the ToS/Eula and i found Botting worth trying, because worst part, you get terminated, and you can come back anytime you want.

JUST TO MAKE SURE  before you get banned, you have earn more than what you paid.

Pure d _ _ _ ass.

Like I said, the interview baited the questions and if you were to be in JW's shoes, you'd say the same if not worst. Your post doesn't even make sense let alone a coherent and rational thought. You drunk when posting?

Baited? You think Jay Wilson is a 3 years old children???? baited? ------ You just proved it again, you are pure... d.a.
He is a Game Director, he has the right comment anything in public.
BUT Representing the Blizzard South, the maker of Diablo 3, replied the comments of world loved Diablo Series Creator with " F x c k  T h a t  L o s e r ".......

Jay wilson already PISS OFF many diablo serious hardcore fan. With this comment, he declared a war with world diablo series fans.
No David Brevik, No ARPG, No Diablo.

to Jay Wilson, "you are just a pure loser"

At this moment i am still praying for his demise.

And seomeone sad his FB account got hacked, eh ? Sorry to say, nope.avi



I enjoy the game now, but I will not tolerate a nobody who insulted the person who created the legacy that the same nobody who is holding that very legacy on his hand now.
Exactly. I am praying that he will not be touching any game related things in the future.

i wanna see em whine in PvP  (if they dares step their feet inside) 
most lolyat kaki knows to tok kok only..
imma real deal yo~ 

doesn't even bother to open this game anymoar..
f***ing nerf the wchdoc mana regen..
F u

imma pawn noobs in GW2..
come all jump ship come..

but I saw you login just now   

inb4 where's mah 5m?

Seriously dude, you either has a comprehension problem or you're just plain retarded. IncGamers clearly baited the question towards David to answer in a satirical tone then engaging in a more than appropriate reply from Jay Wilson. I know you're stupid when you thought I was referring to IncGamer baited Jay Wilson's reply but in fact I mean baited David instead. Don't talk like you study the ToS/EULA. Your retarded posts in the botting thread have been famous for it being absolutely mindnumbing. It's just a sorry excuse to show "ohemgee, i wanna play and earn like a bawse but i haz no time to farm and im so weak i cant even commit to it i think i will bot then". No son, it's because of jackasses like you that the economy is in the sorry state it is in right now. You played no role in it? F#ck you and your false sense of justification.

JW is a game director, and not the official spokesperson of Blizzard. You being a fanboy is just buttmad because one of your idol got insulted when in fact both of them are equally losers referring to Hellgate London and D3. JW pissed off many hardcore diablo fan and declared war? wow, you're like the ambassador of the brand and the fanclub or something? Learn how to post properly without the caplock abuse before you happily post a reply. Like I said, both David and JW are equally losers.

Protip for newbies: Blizzard North started D3 from scratch.

f*** everyone, its just a game

F***for nothing games is game, D3 for us player is not a business strategy.... just enjoy paragon level n whack the facking monster....lol....

There's no such thing as too much power

BTW, the MF cap at 300% is overall? Or just MF you gain from paragon levels?
Don't see anything wrong if people want to stack MF like crazy for nice drops 

300% is overall.

well....chii likes d3....earn so much from it liao....hahahaha

about d2 hardcore players....they just unhappy cause VISA mastercard now can just buy that 10000 hour grind item for USD XXXX. they can't just boast about their 10000 hour grind item anymore, thats the point.

d2 hardcore playars should go play WoW, where u can just pawn that last boss in HEROIC MODE then brag till hell, since only <100 ppl will be able to kill that HEROIC thingy anyways or get that legendary HEROIC DROP EQ. LOL

OMG, NO! I hate heroic mode. Why make bosses so frustrating? Normal mode is already enough for me 
It's challenging enough the first few times, after you get the kill, it's farmable.

Not like heroic

Loser, Did i ever said i care about the economic in games????????
I ONLY FOCUS ON " UNFAIR ADVANTAGE " through calculation, maths, or programming to gain UNFAIR ADVANTAGE.
DID I SAID I CARE ABOUT THE GAME'S STATE????
NO, i didnt. i dont mind admit i am a selfish guys, but i think thats only a game. I WILL TRY MY BEST TO GET THOSE ADVANTAGE.

I will not find any EXCUSES to defend my p.o.v about bot, or botting is right. I never said that.
I just want to SAID - BOT = UNFAIR ADVANTAGE, BOT = WORTH TRYING, but if you scare Botting will sent you to jail, just stay away from BOT.
I NEVER SAID BOT = LEGAL, BOT = RIGHT.

Pure loser.

And, David Brevik = My idol? Yes You Are Right.
I played D1 / D2 / D2 LOD, and i loved it so much.

Jay Loser Did 1 thing good about D3 = RMAH.
All that fantastic element of D2/D2 LoD, gone in D3.
To Jay Again : Pure Loser

you know what this thread needs? it needs Quazacolt to spice things up

i still think this deserved to be shared among the community, its quite unproffesional of him to do that, even for personal standards, i find that cheap, i used to have neutral views bout this Jay Wilson guy, but after this? lol

hes kinda a douche in my books now.

Added on August 22, 2012, 3:12 pm

JW, david, and everyone contributing to this thread, they are ALL losers.

I down. Seems like it's easier for him to have an orgasm than to have some common sense.

cis, u so fastpoke for what? lul

fast meh? go tell that to the d2 purist/fanboys about how they want to kill JW or something la

malas nak layan lol, regardless, you are somehow right about GW2, i can already see symptoms of the virus appearing already. Orz

fast meh? go tell that to the d2 purist/fanboys about how they want to kill JW or something la

Level 50+ rares still drop in inferno? 

What's your definition of common sense then?

I NEVER SAID BOT = LEGAL, BOT = RIGHT.


And, David Brevik = My idol? Yes You Are Right.
I played D1 / D2 / D2 LOD, and i loved it so much.

just because I quoted Bee and he mentioned you, doesn't mean you have to get butthurt.

to be honest i am more confused than butthurt (if any anyways)

and since that quote you just replied me is obviously not from me... is there anything i can help?

malas nak layan lol, regardless, you are somehow right about GW2, i can already see symptoms of the virus appearing already. Orz

Tell me more about it.For the last 2 weeks tried to *ahem*purchase*online*GW*2*ahem* but keeps on rejecting my transaction. I dunno if this is a good thing or not...

Anyway gonna f**k JW tonite again by opening the dev hell.

no la, incase you want explanation ma. no worries.

Dammit... you quit but keep coming back to post negative stuff.

Whyyyy you're just like that Chrommed guy

Q: Finally, last night, a screenshot of a facebook discussion began to circulate on the internet, containing the discussion of developers in responds to David Brevik's interview with INCgamers. You left a comment saying "f*** that loser" in the thread, is that your personal opinion? Or is it fabricated by the online community?

A: That... is indeed my own message. We originally thought that was a private, non-public discussion thread, not something we wish to announce to the public. This was an unfortunate accident.

lol did I hear someone here say Jay Wilson's FB acc got hack? 
SoS
SoS
Forbes

Sooo I guess according to someone here that acc is not his? Forbes and everyone else must be sooo "wrong" then....

our lowyat member is a genius can figure out the truth better than the whole world. 

to be honest hellgate: london has a very good story line and the post apocalyptic steam punk theme was quite unique then, but somehow the game mechanics are somehow broken and whole ARPG genre didn't glue well with the setting. this leads to the game's downfall

jay wilson has screwed up big time by not keeping his comment moderate, whether it's private discussion or not (i mean, it can still be haxx and screenshot posted). this has worsen his reputation throughout the diablo community after he and his crew decided to nerf drop rates on a repetitive game.

now blizz has to do heavy pr to gain back their reputation and gain back certain customers' confidence back

Later in the development of Diablo II, the 'players 8' command -- which let people set monster difficulty -- was added to address this issue, and we're considering something similar for the next major Diablo III patch to allow players to make up their own minds about how hard or how easy is right for them.

If this is true, there is might be a reason for me to go back, because i will use it to nerf the shit out of the elites.

If this is true, there is might be a reason for me to go back, because i will use it to nerf the shit out of the elites.

To be honest, i used to respect Jay Wilson a lot, due to his amazing work with Dawn of War and Company of Heroes. Dawn of War was made in a year plus under his leadership with an obsolete engine and much less resource than what he has now at Blizzard. Then, with DoW's success, he made Company of Heroes where it is still the most innovative RTS for me.

Subsequently, after hearing that he is making Diablo 3, i was really happy, until i played the final product. It is an ebay simulator, not sure what went wrong there.

With the current drama he had with David Bevik, i dont know, did Kotick ruined a once great designer or Wilson is really just better off being a RTS designer?

As many of you probably know, I recently made a comment on Facebook about Dave Brevik. I want to make it clear that I am very sorry for what I said. I have higher expectations for myself than to express my feelings in such a rash way and disrespect a fellow developer like Dave, someone who deserves to be treated with greater respect.

What I said was expressed out of anger, and in defense of my team and the game. People can say what they want about me, but I don't take lightly when they disparage the commitment and passion of the Diablo III team. Dave is awesome. In Diablo and Diablo II, he made two of the games that have most affected me as a developer. I respect his vision for Diablo, but just like he said in his interview, the Diablo III team must drive a vision for the game that is true to us. We believe in Diablo and have stuck by it through years of hard development to make it a reality. 

The foundation of the Diablo team was built from the remnants of Blizzard North: Our lead programmer, who built the basis of the Diablo III engine while at Blizzard North; our lead tech artist, who drove much of the combat visuals, FX, and skill direction of our classes and is one of the most avid Diablo II players you can find; our lead concept artist, who helped establish the core look of the game; Wyatt Cheng, our senior technical game designer, who writes many of our blogs and works tirelessly on the live game. All these people and many others made the commitment to Diablo even after Blizzard North shut down. It was hard for me to see their contributions be diminished by someone they worked alongside, and even harder for me not to try to jump to their defense. I only wish I'd done so in a more professional manner.

Joining the Diablo team was a dream come true for me. In my house, the name Diablo was always spoken in hushed tones. It meant late nights that turned into early mornings, moments of pure adrenaline and pure joy. It meant countless conversations, debates, scouring websites for good builds, and more than one or two sick days. When Diablo II was released, I took a week off work and sent my wife out of state... and she was pregnant at the time! I played Diablo II with my dad during one of the most difficult times of his life, and the experience brought me closer to him, and I hope helped him through it. I joined the Diablo team because the idea of a world without more Diablo seemed like a pretty crappy world to me. I wasn't sure if I'd be good enough. I'm still not sure. But I felt I had to try.

Regardless of how I've done, my team has been more than good enough, and I'm proud of the game we made together. We believe it's a great game. But Diablo III has flaws. It is not perfect. Sales mean nothing if the game doesn’t live on in all of our hearts, and standing by our games is what Blizzard does. Patch 1.0.4 is a step in the right direction, but we have no illusions that our work is done.

Playing Diablo III needs to be a rewarding experience. The new legendaries are a big step in the right direction, as are tweaks to item drop rates. But I'm not convinced that we've gone far enough. If you don't have that great feeling of a good drop being right around the corner -- and the burst of excitement when it finally arrives -- then we haven't done our jobs right. Out of our concern to make sure that Diablo III would have longevity, we were overly cautious about how we handled item drops and affixes. If 1.0.4 hasn’t fixed that, you can be sure we'll continue to address it.

Part of the problem, however, is not just item drops, but the variety of things to do within the game. Many of you have stated that there needs to be more to the game than just the item hunt, and we agree completely. The Paragon system is a step in the right direction, giving meta-progress for your time in the game, but it does little to address the variety of activities you can do while playing. I don't think there’s a silver-bullet solution to this problem, but I do think we can make this aspect of the game better, and as such we're planning more than just PvP for the next major patch. Not trying to be coy, but we're still firming things up and will talk about this as soon as we can.

Difficulty has been a constant source of division when discussing the game. Some players believe Diablo has never been about crushing challenges, but more about efficiency and farming. Some players want a game that tests them to their limits. Neither player is wrong. As it stands, Diablo III simply does not provide the tools to allow players to scale the game challenge to something appropriate for them. We set Inferno as the high watermark and took a one-size-fits-all approach to game challenge. Later in the development of Diablo II, the 'players 8' command -- which let people set monster difficulty -- was added to address this issue, and we're considering something similar for the next major Diablo III patch to allow players to make up their own minds about how hard or how easy is right for them.

The Auction House has also proven to be a big challenge. It adds a lot of power for players to trade and acquire items. Getting a great Monk drop that you can trade for better gear for your Wizard is obviously a great benefit, but it does come with a downside. The Auction House can short circuit the natural pace of item drops, making the game feel less rewarding for some players. This is a problem we recognize. At this point we're not sure of the exact way to fix it, but we’re discussing it constantly, and we believe it's a problem we can overcome.

While these are some of the major issues with Diablo III, they aren't the only things we're looking at. On a daily basis we ask ourselves if the classes are satisfying to play, if rares and champions are fun to fight, if they’re tuned well relative to normal monsters. Can we make further improvements to social elements of the game? How can items be even better?

We made Diablo III because we believe in the Diablo games. We think the gameplay is awesome, the world is compelling, and it's the game we all wanted to play. Because we believe in it, we'll continue to stand by it and make it better. We are committed to making Diablo III the best Diablo game to date, and we hope you'll continue to help us do just that.

Saying that, I'd like to apologize to all of you, the players in our community. You deserve better than my reaction to Dave's comments. You deserve more honest communication about the game and what we're doing to make it a more awesome experience for us all. We care about Diablo very much, and appreciate your passion for it. Without you, we wouldn't be able to do this, and for that I can't thank you enough.
                               

Apology posted lor... shud update the 1st page already. Jay Wilson admits:
