Um no dupes are not that big of an issue. Without dupes runes would be extremely over powered since only the "rich" would own them. The economy would be much akin to Classic right now and that is with rare items being the currency with sojs as a higher mark. Dupes did nothing but make items easier to achieve and in the end the economy ends up the same. Without dupes we would still have FG, we would still be trading the same junk just with a different color. Dupes didn't ruin Diablo kids.
Hacks on the other hand RUINED Diablo. TPPK is impossible to stop? How about looking in your code for the game or maybe downloading TPPK and finding out how it infiltrates the system and makes it possible and um...I don't know put up a block there? Hacks are stopping at all fronts just not from lazy people or people who think dupes are more of a problem then hacks.

Um no? Dupes weren't ever a major issue, it's the hacks which blizzard fails at stopping.......AGAIN!Quote from "Lennu" »Well this is really what we all wanted after all..
Major Bugs
- Fixed an item dupe bug.
If it really does work, the patch is great. -

They balanced hammers in a PvM state which is pointless cause they still dominate monsters with ease. They didn't make builds that were useless better, they simply made immolation amazons a option which will fail. Hydra has always been good if you know what you are doing.Quote from "emilemil1" »They balanced hammers And... uhm... they made some useless builds slightly less useless... -

So their grand revealing is pretty much to handicap the game to aid people who arn't good at it. Hopefully they actually beta test this (Laugh) and make some much needed changes.Quote from name="Lt. Venom" »I dunno if anybody else beat me to he punch but the world event is just another Respec. -

Yep, you are just now coming to realization of what has always been and that is PvM in Diablo world is cake.Quote from "Don_guillotine" »STOP THE PRESS!
Immune to magic, is no longer immune to anything but "magic" (Bone necro, pala hammers, etc.)
Or that would at least explain why wave 2 @ hell Baal went down so fast with my Blizzard sorceress.
EDIT: Yes, confirmed (might be the cold mastery though, but it didn't remove that before as far as I remember).
Actually my Blizz sorc did VERY quick job of Hell baal. Negative resistances, about 3k damage. Merc badly geared. I forgot to spend 200 stat points and 10 skill points, didn't do any of the skill quests on any difficulty, and two anya quests.
Is the game that much easier, or is it just me?
These updates are sad compared to the time they took to develop them, and they succeed in nothing beyond changing what the next big thing will be. I am sure we will see a ton more of hydra running sorcs with no skill and way to nerf sorc skill that took most skill in lightning. This patch is a let down. -
VladDracul posted a message on More Hopes Dashed, 1.13 Delay Going StrongDiablo being neglected is nothing new. It is simply the bastard child of Blizzard. Even the CEO doesn't even acknowledge it's presence in his opening speech for Blizzcon, I mean cmon..you got 3 franchises and you fail to mention 1, you gotta try to do that. That doesn't just happen haha.Posted in: News

VladDracul posted a message on DiabloFans Exclusive: Jay WilsonGood read, I would like to know if the developers play SC or Diablo 1-2 online on Bnet currently, of course they won't say cause they will be harassed and swarmed, also losing on the game you are making a sequel too won't look so good.Posted in: News

VladDracul posted a message on More Hopes Dashed, 1.13 Delay Going StrongIn order for this patch to even be worth my time as far as I am concerned they have to eliminate ALL hacks including TPPK, MH, and TMC.Posted in: News
They also have to do something extreme, like remove Enigma or make some major balances to skills. New items mean very little unless they can beat out the current top tier items and even then, it just means that those become new top tier and we are right back where we are now just with different gear. -
VladDracul posted a message on Another Patch Promise, Will it Prove Itself?Announcement is that it is not coming, or that it is being finished by a bunch of game testers cause they canned the whole Legacy team for getting owned by a stash. Stash > Legacy.Posted in: News

VladDracul posted a message on Diablo II Patch 1.13- More Delays, Hopefully a Brighter FuturePosted in: NewsQuote from "LinkX" »I would personally prefer a patch that works on all computers all the time rather then a patch that works on some computers or some of the time.
As for those modders, they don't spend countless hours game play testing on multiple machines like Blizzard no doubt has to.
That being said, give me my damned 1.13!!
Edit: Wait, the resolution is being changed in this next patch?
Either way you look at it, it's sad that they are having this much trouble with a stash increase but yet they can implement Diablo clone, anni, ect without a hitch. -
VladDracul posted a message on Torchlight Ups the AnteIf the developers actually thought for a moment and made a multi player aspect even if it took the back burner to the single player pertain of the game, I feel it would def take some fans, not a real threat tho. GW2 poses a much larger threat to D3 then Torchlight.Posted in: News

VladDracul posted a message on Griefing, Health Orb Mechanics and More with Jay WilsonK lets go take a survey with 20k people about what does chicken taste like. Oh only 3% said chicken tasted good...damn chicken must be the worst food in the world.Posted in: News
You can't take just 20k people and which of that more then half most likely arn't real fans of the series and say this is factual research. This is sad research and it should be taken with a grain of salt. I am so convinced that you and everyone else on Diablofans and the developers are horrid at Diablo. You guys struggle with Monsters on Diablo, you can't hold your own to any duel, why is it that you play again? -
VladDracul posted a message on Griefing, Health Orb Mechanics and More with Jay WilsonPosted in: NewsQuote from "naksucow" »hmmm, maybe you didn't see this,
Maybe you didn't see this?
"...
One of the big ones is that we don?t allow hostility anymore. It?s just not part of the game. We had talked about all kinds of ways to introduce it and control it, but ultimately we haven?t found very many people who want it. We did a survey of our users who played the game at BlizzCon. We left out survey stations so they could give us feedback about what they thought of the game and what they were excited about. The lowest-scoring thing on the list of things they were excited about was PVP. It was around 3%."
I was at Blizzcon ok and all I said was PvP. Now Blizzcon had est 20k people..wow thats all the people that play Diablo buddy? Now how many of the people at Blizzcon were there for SC or WC? Lets cut that number in 1/3 now. So that leaves 6666.6 so lets say 6667 people for Diablo...even tho I know it was much lower. Now let's say 3% of that said yes to pvp so...200 people said they wanted pvp out of the 6667...or lower people that were there for Diablo. That tells us what about Blizzards fanbase? That it is VERY VERY shallow? Or that this survey means...nothing?
Now another thing to point out is that USEast is the dueling capital of Diablo and always has been, Blizzcon is on the west...hmm? Lets see here now, EAST = Dueling... WEST = sub par dueling and pro PvM...soo lets go survey EVERYONE in the east only and lets see what % you recieve shall we? -
VladDracul posted a message on Griefing, Health Orb Mechanics and More with Jay WilsonGotta love how carebear the developers are, it's kinda sad. The way they talk it doesn't even sound like they have played Diablo 1 or 2 for that matter, but if they want a co-op mainly game then have at it, enjoy your high sales day 1 then enjoy watching your game crumble cause you fail to put in adequet pvp measures for your real fan base.Posted in: News

VladDracul posted a message on Diablo II MysteriesI didn't have time to read everyones replies and I am sure someone said this but they should really put this in the patch.Posted in: News
They have spent more then enough time to make a patch, why not throw this in there? The theories and everything are already drawn up, simply have to code it in and BAM Diablo 2 is suddenly new again. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

This really only aids mfers who are getting back into game after quitting, and PvP people who don't want to waste time mfing. No one else would waste their time buying a guy otherwise, not like Diablo has ever actually been difficult enough that it required you bought anything to survive.
What I really wanna know is, can you change name of character you buy? If I get bored of the game and give all my shit away and come back a year or so later and decide I don't want to run through the game for the 90000000x and buy a character, I at least want it in a name I choose.

Again from kotaku (great info place).
This looks good, if they can make a proper port and further expand Diablo series that's great. Be even better if we can connect to Bnet 2.0 and play with our existing characters from PC.
Heres prob most important quote out of article: "Today, we're trying to build the best console team at Blizzard," Mosqueira said during a Q&A session. "We're looking for programmers, designers and artists who think their dream job would be to bring Diablo to the console."
