The difference between low and high end is out of proportion when the expension hits. I therefor think they will add the following details;
- Only the 2 highest paragon level characters will be added up.
- The total experience of the 2 characters will determine the new paragon level.
Imagine someone having 5-10x paragon 100. If all experience is added up, that player can forget leveling up any time soon, as the difficulty should increase per level. The player should still feel rewarded for leveling up multiple characters when the highest 2 are eligible for the new paragon system.
I think the above mentioned should protect the player as well as balance issues.
While some of it is just plain fact: if how big numbers are has any relation to game balance (I guess in UMvC3 the 60 billion dmg combos mean that everything is OP there too?), hit boxes and confirmed hits have a reasoning behind them (whether people like it or not), a dev stating there were half a million dungeon randomizations (don't remember that, that's why I asked for a source).
Half a million dungeon randomizations sounds impressive, so did the 5 billion gazillion different character builds that Blizzard hammered on. However, when actually playing the game there are only a handful viable character builds. And lets be honest here, the dungeon randomization pretty much stops at a finite predefined block connecting a different way. The dungeon feels and plays pretty much the same every time you enter it.
Is the game a financial success? It sold millions, and people apparently also traded millions of dollars through the RMAH (I never put a cent there), so I'm sure Blizzard is pretty happy with it.
Is it a success as far as the franchise/industrial-property is concerned? We will probably only know judging the expansion sales. Judging from some of the feedback, it wasn't. But we'll have to wait and see.
95% of my friends stopped playing BF3 in a couple weeks. Those same people stopped playing Terraria in a couple days (while I played for over a year). One of them kept playing online-poker. One bought Guild Wars 2, loved EVERYTHING about it and stopped playing 2 days later.
My point? People are the way they are. Gamers are precisely like that nowadays. Not everyone has to be a hardcore gamer. And it's absolutely normal for a single-player focused experience to be played for a limited amount of time.
Sure, it sold massive numbers. A financial success. I'd probably hand over the trophy to their marketing team for creating that huge hype. While the loyal Blizzard fan base did the rest. However, the majority of people I know think that D3 wasn't worth the hype and that it is a major let down.
I am pretty sure we all expected a different Diablo 3, didnt we?
It all boils down to expectancy vs actual experience, and Blizzard failed to deliver, badly. Therefore i'd call this game, for this moment, a miss for the majority of players.
Zero(pS), I don't think hes looking for yes / no answers here. As for the rest, its your personal opinion vs his.
In my opinion, this game has a lot of potential that Blizzard missed by a mile. Is it successful? Depends on who you ask right?
My observations and personal experience tells me that 95% of the people, that bought the game, quite playing within a couple months. (From the people I know, and it might be around this number when using actual numbers.) This tells me the game has a lot of fans that quit playing for whatever reason. Simply put, theres something wrong / missing with Diablo 3.
I think a lot of players will eventually try the game again when some massive revamps occur, such as,
Loot 2.0
Random events
New content
But only time will tell if they player-base sticks around. Its proven very unpredictable with this game.
Security tips for everyone that is still afraid of getting hacked in 2013:
1: Get an Authenticater.... STAT!
2: Don't use the same password on forums / mail / games = 3 different passwords
3: Don't maniacally click on every link you see!
4: Run an antivirus now and again, Hitmanpro + AVG will keep your PC cleaner than a house full of people with Mysophobia (yes look this one up!)
5: Be wary of any executables, if you're not sure. Google it. Scan it. Ask your mom about it.
6: ?
7: Profit, sort of.
The Diablo team draws a lot of inspiration and even “some direct ideas” from the community and even mentioned specifically some of our “Suggestion” articles that have gained some good popularity

The game feels really slow when playing without WOTB, or sprint!

Didn't they say the console version won't delay any development on the PC game? It seems the opposite is true according to that interview..........
