My view of D3 is changing it seems...

[Kaine]

R1500 for the CE?

Does it make coffee?

for that price, bugger coffee, there should be nekkid dancing ladies included

To see some one so passionate about a game have his point of view changed like this sums it up for me. I really don't mind grinding for hours on end to get ONE!!!111 item that will help me advance, but i do hate having to fork out tons of cash to repair my kit while trying to acquire said items. Only then to go and "farm" other acts to cover repair bills.

Yes I know I am possibly doing it wrong, but it is still the way i like doing it

Anyhow - possibly another 3-4 weeks for me then i will call it quits.

Where i played Diablo2 for literally hundreds of hours with five characters that went over level 50, i dont think D3 will see me again after a hundred hours and one level 60 char. Very sad, and its because of one thing, the need to use AH

D2 was so replayable because the "skill path" you chose was that... no altering.. no fixing it.

Its like when you cheat at a game and its not fun anymore.
My own fault though, should never have used the auction house.

Yeah and never gotten far either. This game sux balls in comparison with the replayability of D2

What need for the AH? Its purely your own impatience that creates that need

Yeah ure right, everyone else is wrong on this thread. My bad. My idea of a fun is not having to spend 100hours replaying levels to find gear to advance en then it sux anyway

I think I follow most of you with this. Im bored of the game. I actually havent logged in for over a week now. I spent most of my weekend gaming time this weekend playing HON. When I wanted a break from that I decided to go grind some kit for my resto shammy.

D3 is a lot like playing 3 really big dungeons over and over and over again. What are you playing for? When you fight major bosses you get arb kit, so there is not much point in concentrating on "raid" style boss fights. Also... just 4 people is boring

Simply put. I got bored very quickly. I might mess around now and then, but I have lost interest in the game.

Ok, calm down... and think... you've just agreed with me - patience is the only reason you'd need the AH (since you dont like farming for hours on end)... And at the same time admitted you'd have found D2 boring as well anyway (if you played right now), since you dont like farming for gear.
And before you shoot your mouth off again, maybe you should go look at the drop chances for a zod rune in D2 Dont worry, after 625,000 chest runs you're statistically likely to have found one (patch 1.10).

I think that they should have made the skills "non-changable" as in DII as this would have added years to the playability. Also then you could replay a char class with a new skill set combo.....

Agree on the boring dungeons - one of the big things about D3 was supposed to be randomised dungeons -

My problem is that:

1. They're not random enough internally
2. The subquests are really pathetic - far too short for little reward
3. There aren't enough sub dungeon's around (basically two per sub-act), and
4. They really should have introduced extra levels / Acts as you progress up the difficulty ladder - it does get boring grinding through the same content continuously

Is it my imagination or did D2 feel like a much longer game?

D3 is beautiful though - sometimes I fire it up just to look at the scenery - looking forward to seeing what they can do with this engine in the future

Lower level cap and all that, but yes it does feel much shorter, likely will get a nice big exp. pack.

+1, the part where you travel down the stairs... the back ground is amazing.

The problem with this is, now you "build" your own unique char to level 60, and all of a sudden they nerf a skill to get balance between the chars(look what happend to the demon hunter's nether tentacles) then everybody will be bitching and complaining that their chars skills should be respeced (it happened in D2 all the time) Pros and Cons i suppose, but I prefer the new skill system, you can can adapt your skills for different situations(group play solo play), no need for lots of different builds with the same char.

 

[Wikkels88]

But I would have to agree that the drop rates suck, but if any of you remember the original D2, it weren't that great either, D2 LOD patch 1.10, now thats the D2 we all remember. I'm not giving up on blizzard just yet, I'll keep farming inferno in the meantime, until PvP is ready, but I'm sure by the time they launch the expansion this game will be awesome! Thats IF the game gets an expansion, but knowing Blizzard, I don't have any doubts

 

[Isch]

And before you shoot your mouth off again,.

Really? Pms?

One thing that made a huge difference in D2 is that if you were struggling at a certain point you could do lower act stuff and grind a couple of levels. Thereby increasing your stats and skills to move forward in the game. D3 doesn't allow that with the level cap. Its gear or nothing.

I am ofc referring to inferno

 

[Markd]

im also really bored with D3 at the moment. Finding it very hard to get the motivation to do the same stuff again and again. The achievements have kept me going for a while and I guess I still have several of those to do, so i could entertain myself with some more D3, however I'd just rather find something else to do. I have been very dissapointed with this game overall. For me, a big Blizzard fan, it's probably the worst game they have ever released - it just feels like there are massive chunks missing.

I agree, the original DII was not the awesome game that we remember. The DII we all remember is LoD

+1. DII it was skill "power" + weapon power... now it is weapon power (98%) + skill power (2%)

You can do exactly that... Cant farm Act 1 Inferno? Drop to Act 3/4 Hell and farm there (although if you can farm Hell, you should be able to complete Inferno Act 1 with minimal deaths). It has decent enough drop rates for iLvl 61 items to get you going. So what is your point again? At the end of the day, you're still farming, whether its for xp or gear

Leveling is a definite - getting items works on percentages. That's my point.
