ptr....


1. no access to enchanter... so if you find legend, unlike ros friends, you cannot re roll affix. so big downside....

2. crafted necklaces bumped to lv 61..... so you can't wear..... which sucks.... and AH is down so can't buy replacement.....

3. cannot make and play crusader

4. cannot play act 5.....

all you can do is farm for loot 2.0 within acts 1-4 :/ kinda sad.

not really bug... just they bumped crafted amulet up to lv 61... but as u rightly pointed out ptr is max 60.... so no way you can equip amulet. u just got to farm without amulet till u find one, and even then u don't have enchanter to re roll the affix, and you don't have access to auction house, so it's very very... very... hard to find a replacement.

my barb was virtually crippled cause no amulet x_x; i was wondering why he was sucking so hard.

my friends with ros invite me, i cannot join.... so that debunks that myth :/

im in hs but honestly im bored of it. i rather get a diablo 3 ros beta :/

besides didnt they say hs is open beta starting this month? supposedly.

think of it this way..... when people bought the pc collector edition, blizzard then expected them to buy the console version to get the other goodies...... does it make sense if you already had the game, to buy it again ? even though you already got the collector edition ?

so for me i'm getting regular, screw blizzard

i think people must understand what d3 has to offer....

first time play through is fun.

repeating it to unlock highest difficulty, and winning the game is also okay as well. (i don't consider it crucial to complete hardcore, as that is just something sadists enjoy doing)

pvp is some thoughtless unplanned brawling that has zero balancing. no arena based pvp, no battlegrounds,..... no rankings.....essentially pretty much lack luster and no competitiveness whatsoever, so don't expect much here.


To sum it up, d3 is a farm fest... and once you got more or less the top 10 gear, there really isn't any point playing D3. It's just a 1 time sell game as far as blizzard is concerned, so they don't seem to be interested in letting users make better use of their gear for a better pvp or battlegrounds experience. they save stuff like that for their subscription model games like world of warcraft since it's more profitable for them.

so best you can do is play campaign, farm for gear till your bored, then just wait a few years for D3 expansion..... i think they promised 2 expansions minimum, so ros would be the 1st expansion for d3 for now ....

and yes the wow example is a mmorpg, and diablo isn't a mmorpg, but rather a semi mmo rpg, because you play with a very limited amount of players, on a big gaming network that connects people together. but if you add in a battlegrounds or pvp arena into d3, it still wouldn't qualify it as an mmorpg. So with that in mind, it's justified to add in these pvp systems to diablo.

then the series would be much more exciting ^^

just buy via blizzard website either the regular or digital deluxe.

collectors edition is not that much different from digital deluxe. Both the same, exception is

1. music sound track
2. artwork book
3. mousepad


totally useless stuff but what i'm not sure is, if there will be an achievement of getting the CE over the DD, but i don't think thats worth giving more money honestly.

bagi saya !!!!

jeli banyak sini

no ... 5 hero 50p each does not mean 250 para come ros....

it means the experience points for those 5 chars is merged. so it will not exactly be 250 para

if you install ptr, you can get your expected para :}

this is why i did my achievement 4560 completed before ros, because of the new difficulty setting. this will be even more excruciating for the hardcore players. But then again they will have access to a new legendary amulet that acts like a witch doctor life save. but it's a one time deal

it makes sense.

they don't want you to buy that cheap trifecta ring and re roll stats via enchanter come ros.

or a good cheap mempo of twilight.


i'm sad but i won't bemoan this decision, because ultimately it was probably the right call :/

at least now we know we don't have to stock pile legacy gear for ros. it's clear now that we don't

well the gear that comes in mind is...

is mostly the attributes. i notice some crazy numbers in ros. we are not going to be able to re-roll our stats to gain those high numbers :{ using the legacy gear farmed or bought from ah prior to ros.


another thing that comes to mind, if i'm not mistaken, they are downgrading attack speed from 9 to 7 or so. So yet again, you won't be able to re roll stats to get a high attribute to go along with your legacy as 9 gear (e.g. the trifecta rings or that mempo of twilight)

those sorts of things.



I was aware though that the immortal king set had a different bonus from ros. so i don't think that too would update to the new ros bonus set, because it didn't in the ptr, so it probably is the case come ros as well.

personally when they decided to remove ah, i wasn't too upset, because to me it was alleviating the convenience of ah, and even the important and need to play around the market place to find items, rather than playing the actual game.

especially once you've accumulated resources, not by playing the game, but by buy/sell mechanism in the auction place.

if i wanted to play a trading game, i'd probably play something like eve online.


but sure, there is also a camp of d3 fans who don't mind playing the game like that, and i won't tell them how they should play d3.



yes you are right to point out that blizzard ought to design the games that the fans want. but at the end of the day, they need to come up with their vision of what the game should be, and go with it. I was critical of some of the things they did prior to d3 launch, and even now i'm still not fully satisfied with the things the way they went neither.

but as long as this disappointment and expectation from the fans isn't too great, i guess these sorts of changes won't result in too many lost fans.

Personally though, i know some who said they would not bother with the d3 expansions because they were fedup.


For the most part, i'm treating D3 as an experiment to coming up with something better that corrects the faults they've learned, to make something much better in D4, though that may take a while seeing as they promised minimum 2 expansions for D3; the first being reaper of souls that is just only coming out in the coming months. So D4 is still a long ways off.



if i do get the game, i'd probably play it for 1-3 months before i'm done d3 end game is a bit weak.

farm infinite paragorn levels ? pointless really >->; who cares about digits. sure it empowers you to farm more easily but so what. what are the things can you do with the gear other than just farming and repeating that cycle ? pvp ? brawl ??? >->;

athena was right when he flamed the lack of end game, and he suggested that maybe a pvp competitive system is in order to make things more interesting.

did you see what carmack did ? when his company didn't wanna get involved in occulus rift, carmark left to go pursue his career in another company that did embrace occulus. i find some of these game developers amazing, that they are willing to go the distance to embrace the next step in the gaming world.

This seems to be close to what gaming could possibly be in the future, if they manage to refine it more

even sword art online can't do that

well i'm too busy with work. but i'm sure one of the lyn admins will do it
