I'm sorry how many times do you turn on your computer and not have Internet access

It's currently awful due to poor itemization and people being ultra-niggers on the AH. Wizard seems to be top.
I've been playing a barb and inferno came down on me hard. EVERYTHING was a breeze until I hit act 1 inferno and found my first pack of champs.

Jailer
Molten
Fire Chains
Desecration
burrowing leapers

I think it will be fun in a couple months, but avoid it for now.

Play it for yourself. I like it. It has its flaws but I've had a blast with it so far. Needs some crazy patching, but so did D2 after it came out.

It's good.

>>140720606
This is the worst counter argument I've ever read.
The issue is IF servers are not accessible, like they are almost constantly in Blizzard's case, then I can play it offline.

Don't you get that?

just like d2, except there are check point every 2 feet. You only lose about 100 gold each death, and there is a more intrusive "story" which fucking sucks.

So it is worse in everyway.

not diablo anymore

>>140720606
Not often.

How many times do you turn on Diablo 3 and get to play immediately?

>>140720773

Servers are accessible all the goddam time. Blizzard never has stable launches. Never.

In this week of playing, I never had an issue at all.

It's great, but not worth $60. Wait for the battlechest.

>>140720885
Then you are an exception my friend.

>>140720606

How many times do you decide never to play hardcore because you've been killed once or twice by a small network stutter at a critical moment

>>140720842

Except for the first three days, 100%.

What's wrong? Any more to spit out?

Always online DRM destroyed Diablo 3. I'm sure many people would've been able to look past the lazy visuals/VA/itemization but not the intrusive DRM.

That's the final verdict.

>>140720885
So all the outrage and errors and confirmed cases of people having items stolen are all lies because you're a fucking idiot blizzdrone, right?

>>140720832


WoW has happened since D2. The people who made D2 left. Of course it's going to be influenced by WoW because that's what Blizzard has been working on since 2004.

Times change, dude. It sucks, but if they'd just made D2 with better graphics, you'd all be bitching anyway, so quit playing video games because you'll never be pleased.

>>140721047
I live in florida.

I get like 600+ ping all the time.
But if I connect to Yurope server, it runs perfectly.

I have no idea how blizzrd can suck so much at servers.

>>140721047
sorry to hear that man. the only time online only has affected me was when the servers went off once around 5AM. I didn't play on release day or anything though

that said the game's a lot of fun, and I don't mind paying $60 for it. the combat feels better than most games in the genre

I'm pretty excited for Torchlight 2; the beta was a lot of fun

In my opinion, PRO's:
>Senseless destruction of minions
>Pretty good atmosphere overall

Con's
>Overall story was pretty bad for all the revamping
>Dialogue and vocabulary are cringe worthy.

It seems that the game was finished years ago, but the last "4 years" of development have been DRM and Auction house nonsense.

Best class: Wizard
Worst class: Witch Doctor

The game is decent, but suffers from a bunch of annoying stuff.

I didn't buy the game and I have a question, how's the replayability? and do you expect yourself to be still playing the game for like a year from now?

so many things major things were removed from D2LOD, glossed over or outright stomped on the game is fun, but as it stands its not a good successor to Lod.

i suppose it could be fixed with some heavy patching and an expansion pack or 2 , but fuck me you have to wonder what their development meetings were like .

It's workable.

The story is still >Chris Metzen but its hard to care at this point. >prophecy

It'll probably be a good game in several months time after balance and itemization patches.

Not very high.
Loot isn't very exciting, challenge is low (on higher dificulties, only elite mobs offer any challenge), maps aren't as random as you'd think (so it more or less feels like you're running through the same areas) and stuff like that.
This is not a game I will play for years. I'll most likely stop playing it 1-2 weeks from now, tops.

gameplay is fun, that is all it has going for it, no seriously everything else is pure shit. so if you can see past its very major flaws then it may be worth the 60 dollars for you

>>140723148

No, this is my point. Not getting any legendaries or armor sets on normal or even nightmare is just fucking stupid.
D2 did it, and it made finding loot more fun. Now we're stuck with blues and yellows.

Blizzard fucked up

>>140723395
There are low level legendaries and set items.

I really enjoy D3. It's the first game I've paid for in many years. I played D2 a lot and I was worried about all the dumbing down accusations and so on but they all turned out to be bollocks. Blizzard still know what they are doing and, unlike almost every other developer, actually care about gameplay.

I have never played single player of either games, and I never will. I can see how stupid the always online thing would be for that but it isn't relevant to me.

My biggest problem at the moment is the extreme lag when first joining a game, which I believe is caused by the sound effects being loaded on demand and blocking the game loop thread. That is very shoddy coding and I hope they fix it.

>>140722695
FYI this is exactly what it was like in diablo 2 until the LoD expansion hit. Blue's and Rares were the best items in the game.

And up until the 1.10 expansion came out, blue's and yellows *still* had the potential to be the best items in the game - people were running around with cruel x of evisceration all the fucking time.

A small list of uniques / legendaries being 'good' isn't exactly fucking new.

Hell in diablo 1 there were godly plates of the whale, king's sword of zodiac etc - a lot of magic items were outright better than uniques unless you were fucking around with rare items like thinking caps (which had 3 durability so was unlikely to last long unless you duped it).

can we get a crack for this, k thanks, even if i had the money i wouldn't pay for games that don't let me have control over when and where i can play.

consider the following...

road trip or vacation at a hotel with not so great wifi connection (no crazy 3g/4g on phone) or out of the country... want to sit down and play a game on my laptop while family gets ready to go out... oh wait i can't now because i gotta connect to the online in order to enjoy my singleplayer game??? ... no thanks, please crack this shit so i can play it... (not impossible to crack just look at all the wow private servers out there) They need to make a packet that allows us to make our own private 'server' and just connect to our own ip instead of out to blizzards ip.

That or blizzard needs to create an offline mode.
I hope people keep getting hacked to the point where they gotta add that feature.

And you'd think Blizzard would've learned this for D3.
But it looks like these guys are just flat out shit.

I'm not even the biggest fan of this game, it's pretty alright. but has anyone ever thought the graphics aren't SUPER DETAILED because it'll hurt your fucking eyes like a bitch? you're not looking at the character at all in the center of the screen, the screen is always moving around pretty quickly. you're always looking in the direction that you're moving or wherever your enemy is. you're never actually focused on anything. I think it'd give me the biggest headache in the world to be honest.

and Act 4 was cool except for Diablo

It's a fun game. I got it for free so it's not like I'm invested in it. After a week the lagging is mostly gone, too. My main gripe is never finding gear I can use. Almost all of my gear has either come from the AH or from friends during co-op sessions. Not to mention finding very high DPS weapons on my barbarian only for them to have no gem slot, int, dex, and no vit.

>>140723874

I'm 21 and I think it's okay. I hate the grind since it's not even a MMO, but I liked the first play through. Way too short.

Most fun ive had in years in a video game, but the game is disappointing if your looking for something like diablo 2

>>140724345

Just like Diablo 2.

>>140723932
It is a new game, it does not have (or need) to be exactly the same as diablo 2.

The problem with diablo 2 was that before lord of destruction hit - *all* items were utter shit, there were magic affixes that weren't in the game and d2 was such a clusterfuck of reliance on life/manaleach and high enhanced damage that it was near impossible to play the game.

Diablo 3 is *not* like that, as strength / dex / int have replaced unbelievable enhanced damage and +skill reliance, it is much easier to find good rare items and 'get geared' than it *ever* was in diablo 2. Health orbs have mostly replaced lifeleach reliance, Quickly regenerating resources have replaced manaleach reliance.

It is *not* a point in diablo 2's favor that ~6.5 classes were useless unless you had farmed for countless hours to get an incredibly small subset of viable equipment to make them enjoyable to play. Runewords were put into diablo 2 to attempt to deal with crippling reliance on farmed gear, and runewords were initially meant to be slightly weaker (as they could be attained much easier) - the 1.10 patch blew that out of the fucking water.

Blizzard *has* learned from past experiences - and while things do need some tweaking they are much better than ever before. Blacksmith has replaced runewords, uniques/legendaries/sets are no longer the 'only' viable items.

>>140723902

its not like they finished act 1 and then half assed it on the other acts. Right guys?

Right?

guys?

Remember vanilla D3 /v/? Remember when Inferno was actually a challenge? WoA fucked the game up in so many ways, it just makes me sad. I wish I could go back to 2012 and experience it all over again ;_;

mediocre story
>oh I sure hope her strange power is not because of some demon blood
>yeah her mother sure doesn't seem suspicious
>no Kulle defenetly won't betray me

HORRIBLE class balance, and Blizzard does piss poor efforts attempting to balance anything
Wizard is a prime example of it, they have Energy Armor which can make it so that they can't lose more than 35% HP in a single attack
and right here ever person who's overqualified for the special olympics probably realizes that you should have as little health as possible with as much regen as possible, but not Blizzard since they are busy adding pointless dialogues everywhere
Wizard again, Critical Mass reduces your cooldowns by 1 second for each critical you get, people obviously stacked critical chance and keeps groups of enemies permanently frozen, but Blizzard is too fucking retarded to have though of something obvious like this
and melee is fucking shit, also Wizard, a fucking spellcaster, can tank more damage than both Monk and Barbarian
also I think there's a video on Youtube of someone soloing Diablo in 30 seconds being invulnerable the entire time

very obvious that they never played the game past Normal themselves, pretty sure they admitted they never even tried to balance Inferno

also cheap deaths everwhere with things that can attack you from offscreens

Diablo 3 is a fun, very polished game that currently suffers from some class and item imbalances and a late-game difficulty mode that needs to be reworked.

The doomsayers, as usual, tend to exaggerate.

Cain was *old* in the events of diablo 1 / 2 - at least in his 50's. With 20 years having passed after d2 until d3 Cain is somewhere in his 70's and he's seen shit that most people wouldn't comprehend let alone believe in.

Marius saw a lot of the same shit that Cain did and ended up locked in a fucking sanitarium. Cain was supposed to be very very knowledgeable about esoterica and shit that most people wouldn't even have a hint of knowing - when talking to people that *dont* know about this shit of course he'd come off 'old and crazy'. Being in your 70-80's is a rather long life for a person in essentially pre-renessaince times.

There's a historical precedence for things like this - like the church burning people for saying the earth is round and not the center of the universe.

>>140724643
>It is a new game, it does not have (or need) to be exactly the same as diablo 2.

Missed my point, idiot.
My obvious as hell point was that doing the same problems the original D2 did (that was fixed in the expansion) means that your dev team consists of idiots.
They obviously didn't even fucking look at the games prior in terms of gameplay and direction, which is stupid as all hell.

>>140725113

lol no. it's fun, but I can't see a game as being polished with shitty dialogue, bad storyline, and the graphics are fucking terrible even if you put the settings to max.

diablo 3 can be fun to play, but that's really ALL it has going for it. the gameplay can be addicting in spite of how repetitive and mindless it is until inferno or nightmare, but everything else is just shit. by all means, i recommend it if you have friends to play with. torchlight 2 will likely be better than this.

You guys still arguing over this average thing?

I've seen how some of you discuss things, no point even trying to talk to people who just deny reality because they dont want to be wrong.

It is a continuation of a series, not a sequel or an expansion - thus it is a *new* game.

With it being new it can do things very differently from diablo 2, because diablo 2 also did things very differently from diablo 1.

Diablo 3 has improved on a *lot* of shit over diablo 2, as diablo 2 was practically unplayable for a majority of classes for a *long* time after release. You are comparing a just released diablo 3 to a diablo 2 that had 1-4 years of polish. Blizzard *has* learned from issues that were present in diablo 2 pre - and post lord of destruction, and have attempted to address them meaningfully in diablo 3.

In essence you are bitching that diablo 3 is not diablo 2 with 1-4 years of polish on it - less than 2 full weeks after release, I'm sorry to say you have some pretty fucking unbelievable expectations and you're probably only bumtouched over it because your expectations are so unbelievably high. Give the game some fucking time, it will get to where it needs to be.

In my currency, the game was 100 bucks. I bought it after playing a friend's game for 15 minutes. I've not played either of the games in the series, nor am I into top-down dungeon crawlers so much (more of a JRPG person), but I had a lot of fun in the short time I played it.

First playthrough was really fun. I played Monk and had a good time with those combos. I tried other classes for like 10 minutes but nothing really compared to punching things at lightspeed for me.

And then.. the ending came. I was at 20 hours when I finished the game. Took me 3~4 days. I was really disappointed with the length and it sort of left a bad taste in my mouth. I played Nightmare and while the difficulty pumped up makes it more fun, it still doesn't change the fact that you're playing the same goddamn game twice, three times, four times.

Plus having lag on a single player game was bullshit, but most times I didn't mind too much. Most times.

I really liked it but it wasn't worth 100 bucks. I wish I had waited til there was more content or the price dropped. Or maybe a crack, although I think it'd be worth 30~40USD tops.

Stun is casualitys btw, gg blizzard making bosses wimps.

>>140726096

people have cleared inferno on barbs solo, it just requires either a fuckington of armor/resists or hp/regen.

I read the entire post, you fucktard. The one that needs to learn how to read is you. Read my post prior again.

>Maybe you should look at what he

Obvious samefagging. At least stop pretending you're someone else just to make your BS sound better.

>>140726096
The problem isn't the bosses.
The problem certainly isn't hell.
And stun-locking one monster in Inferno won't matter when the other 3+ champions are slapping your shit.

While Barb isn't in nearly as bad condition as people are claiming (Barb has always been a late bloomer and super, super gear dependent) and I see where you are coming from, sort of, but overall you are approaching at a very naive point of view.

That said even if a Barb gears up great he is still at a disadvantage compared to every other class regarding survivability, damage, and a combo of the two.

Played it for a week, got to inferno with my barb, got raped until I bought a bunch of resist from AH, realized this isn't even remotely fun, quit. Now playing titan quest with mods and wondering why the fuck it's miles better than D3.

HORSE. SHIT.

Diablo really isn't the kind of game you get to only play once, that's not really what it's about.

retard, act bosses were never stunnable in d2.

>>140726649
What really scary is that it's actually true.

There are so many gameplay elements taken directly from WoW, not Diablo 1 or 2. This fact just blows my mind over how stupid it is. It's as if Blizzard thinks that WoW is the pinnacle of gameplay in gaming and that all games should play like it.

it was fun for about the first week. after running the campaign about 3 and a half times its getting pretty boring. ive been playing with friends, at least 2 others and sometimes a full party but when i try to play solo its sooooo boooooring.

act 1 is fine but once i get to act 2 its like hitting a brick wall. i have no urge to go one and i have no idea how some people can have multiple 60's.

i have one 60 monk, playing him tanky with a one hander and shield. they tank exactly like prot paladins in WoW more or less. the gameplay is just so mind numbing it hurts, in fights i just activate my aoe, mantra, and ocasionally pull when i have to but other than that im holding dowm my left mouse trigger and going cross eyed.

tbh, i dont exactly have buyers remorse but if i didnt buy the game i wouldnt exactly feel that iv'e missed anything.

Well, the first anon actually made some points that dealt with what you said - to which you responded "NO THEY MADE THE SAME MISTAKES IN D3 THAT THEY DID IN D2 THE DEVS ARE IDIOTS" without saying what these 'mistakes' were - in spite of the anon in question saying they actually learned a whole fuck of a lot from d2 going into d3.

Pic related - its a quick reference guide on how to argue intelligently and not come off as a retard.

>>140726683

But you're wrong, you retard. I've had multiple 99 HC smiters, you can stun act bosses. You just need a fuckton of +skill.

D2 bosses weren't hard anyway. The only one that required brain functions was mephisto and his fucking orb. It wasn't a very hard game.

Not the guy you responded to, but that's a shitty excuse for the lack of content.

>>140726683
what it does is stagger. Still saying that the skill alone makes ubers easy is bullshit as fuck.

>>140726895
WoW's elements were all lifted from Diablo.

>what's really scarry is its true
That shit isnt even implemented yet. You haven't experienced it and you are just shitposting.

- out door areas need to be random in addition to having random plugins, act 1 and 2 are basically committed to memory just from playing it a few times.

- dungeons need to be larger , much larger, with more tiles.

- legendary and sets need MUCH more power and have some drop with modest frequency below inferno, they also need custom affixes, christ even angelic halo and nagel rings got some late game play in LOD

- affixes in general are laughable (there are long posts on forums about this) quiver with 1% chance to knockback? what use it that?

the games got legs some parts are a lot of fun, but damn nigga ~ does it need some work and why they didnt learn from D2LOD longevity ill never understand

But it did.

Was I the only one who didn't find D2 hard? I can't be the only one with more than two firing synapses in my brain.

>Well, the first anon actually made some points that dealt with what you said

No, he didn't.

>NO THEY MADE THE SAME MISTAKES IN D3 THAT THEY DID IN D2 THE DEVS ARE IDIOTS

No, that wasn't what I said. Nice of you to confirm that you're illiterate. Maybe you should go back to school.

>in spite of the anon in question saying they actually learned a whole fuck of a lot from d2 going into d3

Do you not see how utterly stupid this statement is?

My fucking point was that using excuses that the faults D3 has are fine because D2 had problems that got fixed in the expansions.

But D3 barely plays like a sequel to D2, so who fucking cares. I'll leave you to your fanboyism. I've had enough with overzealous fanboys like you on the forums.

its bad
its real bad
the game itself can be fixed
but the server thing is bullshit
lag while playing alone is unacceptable
servers always down also unacceptable

Your stats level automatically, just like WoW.
You eventually unlock all spells/skills as you progress just like WoW.
You use Glyphs... errr... Runes to tweak your skills, just like WoW.
You craft shitty gear just like WoW.
There is an auction house (It's just real money that hasn't been implemented yet), just like WoW.

What else am I missing?

This is why I hate the whole "it's an evolution of the genre" argument. No. It's not an "evolution" or "improvement". None of these features are new. You can find them all in a game that currently exists. Blizzard is just churning out another game with all these features of WoW because it's the 12 million sub gorilla in the room that everyone wants a piece of.

If you want a real improvement of the genre and its features play TL2.

>>140727514

Nah. I power trade quite often though.

>>140727372

You're on /v/.

Of course you're the only one with more than two synapses.

>>140727074
>WoW's elements were all lifted from Diablo.

Yeah, totally. I mean Diablo had cooldown on potions and stuff, right? I totally don't need to list them since any sensible person would be able to spot them.
Stop defending something you can't defend.

>>140727549

You think all that is from fucking WoW?
Was WoW your first fucking game ever?

>>140727569
soft or hc?

>>140727520
Wait, you can get a refund? From where?

With d3, Blizzard didn't try giving it replayability for leveling up. Since you have all the builds at level 60 with respeccing any time, there is 0 reason to make a 6th character. You will play through the game 5 times maximum, and so there didn't bother making it worth leveling up again.

That's best seen with how you don't even build up your character, even something as mild as choosing which runes/skills to unlock as you go. A WD choosing summoning skills first and leveling up, then a second WD choosing poison with only gargantuan leveling up, or a WD purely damage would all be separate occasions of fun to level. I don't know why Blizzard took that out.

>>140727520
BRS, have lag that goes from 380 ms to 1000 ms.

For once I feel bad for them
