God why do people miss the fact it doesn't matter if you have broadband or not which i do but yeah it all matters on the location of servers..... Ping is going to be killers for some...
I think the operative assumption is you won't need much conversation between your pc and the servers to play alone.
well considering monsters and items and your character and npcs will be located on server i would assume there would be a lot of conversations between server. Like a mmo without the advantages ohhh a auction house....

What made you think that? It's just my opinion that Blizzard is making stuff up to hide the real reason for this, but since I'm not affected by it I do not really care. Honest words go a long way in my book, but I guess in the current time those are hard to come by, at least from the corporate world.
I don't really care. I'm online constantly anyway.
I just wish blizzard would stop with the bullshit and just admit it's an anti-piracy measure instead of trying to come up with random excuses that are easy to see through.
What is this attitude? I really don't understand it. Is blizzard on trial? Are they being audited?
They've explained themselves on more than one occasion with this issue and what's more, we've continued to speculate good reasons they'd also want to follow their current path. So what's the point of being angry about it, especially if you "don't really care," eh?
Notroll drax, but I seriously cannot keep a strait face after reading those last posts. I promise you that singleplayer is not the victim of a Blizzard conspiracy.
This is as bad as a series of PC game going to the console for stupid reasons and people just bowing them over it.
What does this mean and what are you referring to? Jay said they'd make a console version if it would make a good game. I don't see any problem with Blizzard making good games, regardless of platform. Why be so phobic of such things?
Even Blizzard themselves always told us this was first and foremost a single player game. Its such a bad excuse to say this is a coop game and doesn't need offline. And like that other topic, just goes to show how incredibly selfish the majority here are. It fits you, it fits what you want, and that makes it right.
I don't know where you got that from. I've always seen D3 refrenced as a foremost online cooperative game. If anyone is selfish it's the single-player minority who'd rather see the game tailored to their needs. And please note, i'm agnotic about the whole situation. If an offline singleplayer is made avalible that's fine. I just don't feel compelled to fight for it and I think dogging Blizzard about abandoning single player (as though internet connections were hard to come by these days) is poor form and (as previously noted) especially ironic when done through an internet forum.
Call me new-school or over-exposed to online gaming, but I just can't come up with a compelling reason to make an expressedly cooperative rpg also a single-player game.
I'm supportive of an offline singleplayer if they choose to put one in, but I wouldn't ask for it and I would certainly hope they do plan to discourage players from simply clearing the game on singleplayer and being done with it. The most rewarding aspect of diablo gameplay is interacting with other player within the context of the game.

But you can use the AH, since you will be online.

Sounds like random bullshit to me.
(Doesn't that sound angry?)

Your angst is palpable, but it doesn't enhance your argument.
