UberN00b posted a message on The endgame in Diablo 3 is pathetic, and disapointingHow the hell is Diablo 2 so much more interesting with end game? Aside from Dclone and Uber Tristram, there isn't a difference. Oh wait, they gave monsters immunities and penalized your resistances. Everyone still had to stack Vitality and resists to survive the hits and dump points into their main nuke in order to avoid being one-shotted.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
I really have to laugh in yours and everyone else's faces that come in here to try and make a point to complain about how Diablo 3's end-game sucks and do so by trying to compare it to Diablo 2 which was FAR less tactical. No game will ever be perfect, yes there are some itemization and balance issues at the moment, BUT COME THE FUCK ON ALREADY. How fucking "interesting" is a Whack-A-Mole style control and combat system going to get? If you want complexity and depth, you're going to have to find a different game. Diablo simply never has and never will be in-depth and complex to any major degree. It just isn't.
Good riddance... -

Currently selling Whimsyshire Access on inferno mode.

Currently selling death for 100k per run.

The monsters will 1 shot you, and you will be unable to kill them.

but you can put some MF gear on and run around opening clouds and pots of gold and get some really good drops.
What you meant to say:
You won't be able to kill them, and will get one shotted, but if you manage to make it to a happy cloud, you might be able to repair some gear.
What you said:
Quote from Marvo1935
Plus you can farm some neph stacks on your own game in act 1,
What you meant to say:
You can go into your game and spend an hour trying to farm 5 stacks, then give me your repair money (100k) to come open the level.
What you said:
Quote from Marvo1935
then have it opened and you can get even more loot.
What you meant to say:
You can pay me 100k to open it for you, when you can go get the mats for your own staff, spend that 100k on making the initial staff, and eventually get your own staff to Inferno level instead of paying me 100k per run.
What you said:
Quote from Marvo1935
I've had 2 legendaries drop in 5 runs already. Not to mention 900+dps weapons.
What you meant to say:
I got lucky and rolled one of the two OP classes and got into the level, but since the nerf I can't go, so I'll just sell an opening to the level.
What you said:
Quote from Marvo1935
It's basically a loot pinata with end game inferno gear, whats not to like?
What you meant to say:
It's basically you paying me 100k gold for a 100k repair bill and tons of frustration. What's not to like?
What you said:
Quote from Marvo1935
Price is 100k. You will make that amount back with a couple pieces of gear that drop.
What you meant to say:
I know you can make 100k easy in other ways, but why not pay me to profit from deceiving you?
No thanks.

fayde2BLAQ posted a message on Married players, how are your spouses holding up after release?As of Tuesday the 15th my wife has gotten very very needy, everything from can your bring me a brush (downstairs) to lets go BBQ as a family. My wife knew about Diablo 3 since I spent the last month trying desperately to get the collectors edition. Anyways Tuesday servers were taking dumps all day so the times I had to actually play she would always need or want to do or go somewhere. Unluckily her school got canceled 2 days in a row Tues/ Wed and those were the only 2 days I took off work to play. So I stayed up til 4:30am Tuesday night playing and the next morning I got a tongue lashing about how she waited up for me til 3am and how she couldn't sleep without me being next to her. I told her BS because every night we watch movies downstairs she crashes mid movie on the couch, mind your my PC is in the bedroom pretty much next to the bed. I think I know why she hates D3 tho it reminds her of my raiding WoW days and how much time I'd spend on the PC, but as I told her I only took the 2 days off to cram D3 all day for 48 hours. Our anniversary is this weekend which I have off and she knew that she'd have me for 2 days but still ruined my request off days for release. Yesterday she made me go to storage to get an old dresser for our bedroom out and man did that take up about a 1/4 of my day just getting all that old stuff in and out of the storage then cleaning the room just to make room, oh and we shampooed the carpet Tuesday night ><Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion

Azidonis posted a message on Servers down AGAIN?I don't guess any of you are thinking to recall that Diablo 3 recently set a record for the most amount of pre-orders of any PC game in history. Granted some people bought multiple copies, but come on... NO company has ever dealt with this before. That we are able to play at all in the first few days says a lot for them. Give them some credit where it's due.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion -

Can't wait to play D3 for the first time in hardcore mode (my first character, a barb in hardcore).
It's more intense if you don't know what's around the corner

Actually... just scratch our all the trees and environment with it. Fighting through a matrix style environment is good enough with me since it's all about the gameplay, not about the looks. Duh blizzard, duh.

I'm going to leave now and continue to express my joy with my face in a pillow.

The rest of you seem to be defending the way the game works with pointless analogies simply because this seems like a change that can't possibly be conceived.
Tell me, if the lightning sorceress isn't immune to other lightning (because it might be of different magical sources or w/e) then why is that lightning beetle in act 2 immune to the sorceress' lightning? It seems as though a lot of the monsters in the game that cast certain types of spells are immune to the same kinds from a player, but not the other way around.

I used to play it, shamefully...
ok, so it's pretty good at the start, mostly because I love to watch my mines (or whatever they're called) bring in resources faster and faster each day; but once I got through that stage, I realized how flawed and annoying this game really was.
I absolutely hate games that add a ton of emphasis on paying real cash to grow faster in-game, and Evony does a very good job of advertising their products to snatch your money.
Oh, while on the topic of advertising... have you ever seen the Evony ads? This is probably one of the funniest concepts for an ad I have ever seen. They're all basically half-stripped down women in some kind of erotic pose, with a heading saying "Save the Queen before it's too late".
They also have a few versions of the same kind of advertisement strategy. I guess the Evony team has honed in on the idea that sex sells. Oh, and let me just remind you, there is no queen, or girl in the game whatsoever. Take a look for yourself: Evony
And I have seen one ad that says "Over 10 million players". This is false advertising to the extreme... that statistic actually is "over 10 million accounts have been created". When your player base is less than 1% of this statistic, I start to wonder how close these producers have come to being considered con-artists.
I actually took a look at this game a few days ago. No, not to play it, but to refresh my memory on how one of the mechanics in the game worked, so I can try figure out an optimal strategy for something that was itching me since I wasn't mathematically savy enough back when I used to play it.
Just in case you're interested: the optimal gold/hour from your population would be with 50% tax rate (actually, 50 loyalty), no matter what your max population is. It is also symmetrical about the 50% tax rate mark, i.e. 40% tax will give you the same output as 60% tax etc. So you should never go over 50% unless you just raised your population loyalty and expect your loyalty to be dropping, so you can take advantage of that and squeeze out as much gold as possible (with 100% tax) while you watch the loyalty drop to 50. Also, 40% tax will leave you with a higher sustainable population, so this is obviously better than the same income you'll receive from 60% tax, but with the less population you will sustain.
But even though I wanted to satisfy my curiosity, I still hate the game. Oh and to add to the game's... popularity... all the advertisements have lured kids by the thousands, and other types of sexually thirsty individuals, so all you'll be seeing in the chat is stuff like "press 111 if you're a hot girl, I want some fun"... seconds later.... the chat is spammed with 111's from dozens.
I never knew that hot girls play these kinds of games, or even get lured into these games by half-naked girl advertisements.
And one last thing before I let you run off to play Evony joyfully for hours on end: If you're looking to pass the time and want something that doesn't require a vast amount of computer resources, try this: OGame
It's also a text-based game, but I have to say it's been able to keep a hold on me way longer than Evony has.
