I am probably part of the minority that's actually excited about the Playstation port. I remember playing the original Diablo on the PSX, with my best friend, some Mtn. Dew, pizza, and long conversations about all kinds of teenage stuff. They were some of the best times of my life and I'd give almost anything to re-live them again. The games of today, the gaming culture of today, and the way we play the games of today never, ever have the same appeal to me. I may be getting old, I may be a part of a "dead culture", or whatever, but I just cannot fathom blowing tons of money on constant PC upgrades, waiting on patches, Googling ways to tweak my OS or hunting for drivers just to TRY to have the same experience. I could win the lottery tomorrow and build the best PC in the world and yet would still be unsatisfied. Gaming, to me, was meant to be played with friends, on the couch.

I agree with that so much. I mean I love PC gaming, but only for the fact that nearly all of the games I like are exclusive to it. I could go on all day about how great a console is compared to a PC, and vice versa. The best gaming experiences I've had is when I was playing with my mates or siblings back on the SNES, N64, and Xbox's (I'm not an xbox fanboy though). Nowadays they all just talk about WoW and more WoW <_<

I really hope they do something about the monster density. I enjoy all of the acts and I don't like feeling restricted to a particular act if I want to get the most efficient xp gain or loot drop.

The Starcraft cinematics always bring me back to the game, but then I realize why I left, because I'm bad at it haha

Interested in trying out Dota 2? Or are you just unlucky and haven't received a beta key yet? Well worry no more! I have 6 Dota 2 keys just sitting in my inventory. I don't have anyone to give them to because all my mates already have the game.

So if you're interested message me your email account that you've used for steam through Diablofans and I'll gift it to you!


EDIT: I've changed it so that you just throw me your email instead of steam name, makes it easier!

Lol, it actually looks as if they toned down the muscles on the barbarian!

Is anyone actually looking forward to the different PvP system they're putting in? Because I am!

I like that they're going for something different to the whole arena style PvP. It looked like great fun at Blizzcon, but it just seemed like the easy way of dealing with PvP (let's just chuck an arena in there, that will make them happy!). It will be interesting what they come up with

I pretty iffy on dueling being brought back, but only because of how the classes are at the moment (that's assuming they won't change the classes with or before the patch). Buuuut I won't lose any sleep over it!

And please, let's try and not turn this into a "blizzard isn't what they used to be" discussion.

I came to this thread to see some good responses to what the game needs, but all I see is people bashing others.

A statistics page would be awesome. One that shows everything, sort of like the WoW one.

But seriously, The point of this thread is hilarious.

Legends tell of a man who once saw the PvP blog before everyone else. No one knows of his whereabouts these days but rumors say he can be found in the streets of multiple cities along the footpath rambling on about future expansions and resurrections of Prime evils while begging for spare change.

No pvp specific gear = pay to win. Kids with daddys visa owning pvp... sooo im going to skip the pvp totally if its that way.

No problem, we won't be asking where you are!

Quote from ConundrumNSA

I remember a time in gaming where exploiters and cheaters hid in the shadows.

Now they are proud of what they do and THEY feel insulted and attack those who call them on their actions.

WTF happened?

I dunno, man. I remember more than a decade ago, being mocked, insulted, and called a noob in Diablo 2 multiplayer games.. because I was the only one there not running Maphack..

It's on blizzard to make sure this kind of thing doesn't make it to release, no reason for people to be punished because they missed something.

I'm sorry, but there are certain behaviors which are clearly UNINTENDED. Standing in town gaining tens of billions of XP per hour is absolutely not by design, therefore it's completely reasonable to ban people over it. No rational player has any expectation of gaining hundreds of paragon levels per day by hanging out in New Tristram therefore you can't just say "Blizzard's fault" and try to justify the actions of the wrongdoers.

Anyone who used this exploit, just like the RMAH gold dupe, knows full well that it's NOT intended. There is no way anyone could be confused to the point that they believe it is intended. This isn't just on Blizzard for letting some bug go live. It's on the players for engaging in clearly-unintended behavior. That is the definition of "exploiting" to a T as it pertains to gaming. That is exactly the type of behavior that the rules that say Blizzard can ban people for cheating/exploiting are there to allow for. This "it's just Blizzard's fault for not catching every single bug in their millions of lines of code" is taking the villain and trying to portray them as the hero.

Fuck people like Gabynator. They are why we can't have nice things. The sooner people realize this as it pertains to people using exploits the better off the community will be. So long as fanbois like you keep defending people for this kind of shit the idea of seasons will constantly fall victim to douchebags who will do anything to make sure they have an unfair edge over everyone else.

There's a reason Barry Bonds will never make the hall of fame. No matter how corrupt the voters for the MLB HoF are, everyone knows he cheated and at least they have the balls to say "no" to cheaters instead of blaming everyone else for their actions. Only in online gaming do people make such asinine statements about how cheaters should be praised instead of punished.

It was an inside joke between me and my diablo 3 playing friends, we're so tired most of the time that we give them slurred names like ''Dierbler'' and ''We the Nipolips'' (Nephalem), thanks for the compliment! : D

Pretty sure you'll have more luck at http://support.curse.com/home than posting and bumping a thread on one random forum out of all the hundreds on the Curse network.

(Spoiler..???)





GOD DAMMIT WITCH DOCTOR, HAVE YOU NO SHAME FOR THE DEAD?!?!?

Long story short: 3am, playing diablo with friends, pick up deckard cain's set plan, thoughts of stupid tired scenarios, this came to life.
