I come here once every two weeks or so to see the latest smoke being blown up (CENSORED). Then i laugh.
Just admit it's time to move on to another game, be it PoE or some other genre all together. Move on.
Quote from Dhaern
Offline mode = No warden/server authentication = hacks (not exploits or botting only) and cracks = destroyed GAH economy (dupes, items created by commands or cheats, etc) = No RMAH = No profit to me from RMAH/GAH for flipping 1d12h items = No fun = stupid and noob game
-Goes on to comment on the server/login issues but nothing about the game itself.Diablo 3 sold very well but received mixed reception at release because of various problems.
And earlier in the year you tore the guts out of the stats system. As an RPG designer I realise how difficult that is. Did that all make it harder to get the Diablo III launch out? Mike Morhaime: I felt like we gave ourselves enough time in terms of the things we could test and the things that were feasible to test.
You've announced you're working on Titan at the same time as you're working on other projects. Is that a strain on resources? Mike Morhaime: We always have to manage multiple projects and various resources; it's just something we've always had to do.
a big experiment and it is something that I think has done really well in some ways and in some ways has really changed the game a lot
The vast majority of fans opinion was about 1/10th of the game. Which also happened to completely unrepresentative of the "end-game", not only in terms of difficulty but also in virtually every other aspect (itemization, balance, fun, polish of zones, actual content, storyline, I can go on)Personally, I hope they learned that fan's opinion isn't always to be trusted,

People will want to know, you will want to know. If you don't, you're either lying, a sociopath, or not human.

Or you know, he says "oh man nice drop, I'll trade you....." and then some form of communication actually opens up and *gasp* we have some sort of community formed around the game. If you really want to run around and not discuss one of the biggest things in the game (loot) then why don't we just play with 3 bots of random classes? That way we won't have any of that pesky chatting?

A post I made with an Inglorious Bastards Quote
Therefore I inspired Penny Arcade.
Therefore I am better than everyone else here.
Therefore everything I say is no longer opinion and is actually truth.

somemost people aren't able to read through corporate BS, and assume they "do no wrong".This poll is ultimately flawed as people that want to play offline, aren't going to be part of the community; and vice versa.People online will not effect people offline. People offline will not effect people online.
The choice was for DRM/hacking/botting reasons. If they release an offline client, it will be broken down and used piece by piece to "break the code" of the multiplayer client. They could make unique offline client that behaves significantly differently than the multiplayer client, but that would be a huge waste of money and guess what, this is a business we're talking. $$$ effects all decisions.

Is there *anything* you have seen that you don't like so far? And this is a serious question, as I'm already expecting you to type something that you think is witty like "I don't like having to read posts from people like you because of the changes". And to not be a hypocrite, things I'm looking forward to: Runeword system changed, Skill system looks like a good change of pace (especially if hotswapping skills is viable mid-combat). Feel free to post a link to another thread/blog/profile if you already addressed this question elsewhere and don't wanna clog this thread. Sheep.

Annoying in that I have valid opinions that have some form of truth associated with them that you choose not to confront and instead greet with straight out insults instead of forming a decent rebuttal ? Or that I'm skeptical and cynical ? Or that I don't trust companies that have a history of lying, making hypocritical statements, and reversing core mentalities with paper thin excuses? Then yes, I'm annoying.
did you even play D2 ? Because all the things you are so happy to see go seem like the exact things that made D2.
