Granted I've never been put in a position where I had to choose between a woman and gaming but...
I view women that have a problem with guys gaming as a control issue. All the healthy marriages I've ever seen (as in ones that actually last) each person has "their" time. For some women, it's mani/pedi time, or lunch with the girls or what have you. For guys, at least the guys I'm friends with, it's gaming.
Sure if you've got some important meeting you need to do as a family (eg. getting a new house, family member sick) then sure you need to go take care of it. If the woman just wants attention and gaming has attention for a while, and she throws a fit, well she's too much of a control freak. But then again, I'm single so take my opinion for what it's worth.
That's mostly right, and usually it's not just gaming. It's usually pointed toward one of two things:
1) high-maintenance woman who needs attention all the time to keep her insecurities under control
2) guy who doesn't give her enough attention, even when he's not gaming
Those are the two extremes, but there's a lot of room in the middle there. My wife listened to the other wives talking about how their husbands were always in the bar or out playing golf, and decided that having me right there in the house was pretty handy. -

You seem to be comparing D3 in week 1 with D2 after several years of patches and expansions. I'm not sure that's a useful reference point.
You seem to be defending a game that has an infrastructure of a 11 year old game. I'm not sure if that's a useful use of time.
You're talking about a company that had 11 years to make a flawless sequel. They took 5-6 of those years to release a game like this to us. Sure, it's a good game. But it should be slightly better. Also, all of the economy problems, UI problems, and server problems SHOULD NOT have happened in a game that's developed by Blizzard Entertainment. With the years of experience with developing servers and economies in a game like WoW, along with having all of the resources now availible to them that they just didn't have 7 years ago, you would THINK that they could ship a game that's not inferior to their past releases.
Sure, it's the fastest selling game of all time, only because of the hard work that was put into Diablo 2 and WoW.
It's also worth mentioning that Diablo 2 and its expansion were developed in a fraction of the time and a meager fraction of the resources. Maybe This is why we'll be able to appreciate a game like Torchlight 2 when it comes out?
I'm really tired of hearing this line of reasoning. More time does not magically make everything better. They didn't "have 11 years" to make Diablo 3, their development concerns were completely elsewhere. The years they did put into the game are completely evident, but Blizzard's development culture isn't one that lends itself to technical expertise, their games always have design flaws and bugs that they continually work to fix. Their resources are not unlimited, they do not have infinite money, and even if they did it would not likely make the game much better. Saying that Blizzard squandered their development time because the game is not what you consider "flawless" is ridiculous and is the main part of what's so awful about the overall reaction to this game. The game will never measure up to your dear nostalgic half-remembered days in Diablo II that have been embellished over time, and it's absurd to expect it to. -

-This game is linear, directed by quest, meaning each act is separate and the user cannot explore everything at will, this will lead to the game getting old faster because you HAVE to do things in order.
Once you've finished a difficulty, you're welcome to explore anywhere you like via selecting the act from the Quest Menu. If you're disagreeable because you can't do the Skeleton King quest, then skip to the Iskatu quest without first exiting the game and selecting a different quest, I fail to see how changing quests is any different than changing waypoints in Diablo 2. You still have to go to the act you want to farm.

-There is nothing to do at 60 but get more gear for no purpose, D2 had ubrs, this has Inferno mode? which is the same game already played 3 times just "harder".
D2's ubers didn't come until Patch 1.12. Do you know when D2 launched and when 1.12 was released? YEARS AND YEARS APART! 90% of the D2 population was gone by the time 1.12 was released. Are you saying that Diablo 3 should already have a decade worth of patching and content updates when it first launches? You make no sense...
Quote from burninfate
-Gems are boring and have small use, Back in d2 runes and runewords were farmed, adding months to the game.
Why are gems boring? You do realize that stats increase more than 1 thing, right? Like Intelligence isn't just for casters. It increases all characters' resistances. If you need resists, stack Int! Your stats do several things and therefore gems have plenty of depth. One small thing I would agree with is I wish is that I could gem for Magic Find in more than just my helm, but there's other ways to improve MF. In any case, this point of yours doesn't really hold up either, sorry.
How is making runewords any better than crafting with the Blacksmith? You still have the opportunity to keep rolling crafts until you get high stats just like runewords. Also, the Legendary crafts seem really damn rare just like high runes were, so I'm really not seeing wtf it is you're saying here...
Quote from burninfate
-People hit level cap in under a day, it took weeks to hit level 99 in d2.
Since when did people care about level cap in D2? And level cap in D2 didn't really make a dam bit of difference. Also, you could level 1-80+ in a matter of a couple hours, so the fact it takes an entire day to hit 60 in D3 is an improvement as far as "leveling too fast" goes. Your logic has failed again.
Quote from burninfate
-Gear is horrid, some piece you find in normal can last you until 60 and sometimes even for a while there. There is no Gap between 20's and 50's. That difference should be pretty big.
This is highly exaggerated and overstated. If you can't provide specific examples, this is a waste of cyberspace. This isn't even flawed logic. It's vague postulating at best...
Quote from burninfate
- Yellow, Blues, Legendary, they seem to be very similar with no Huge difference in quality.
Blizz has already confessed they are planning to update the itemization. Again, since when has any Diablo release been perfect with itemization? pfft...
Quote from burninfate
-The auction house will greatly reduce the grind, not to mention it has horrible ui
The UI sucks. But since when has item trading been a bad thing in Diablo? Now we have a much more robust way to do so without spamming in channels and making trade games hoping someone sees it while we have it up to come trade with us. That is the dark ages of item trading unless you want to use a 3rd party site like D2JSP. Welcome to the 21st century...
Quote from burninfate
-Bots are already spamming, we have this tiny chat square that holds 8 lines of text and cannot be customized. (minor issue but annoying)
What game doesn't have spamming attempts somewhere? And are you implying Blizzard will do nothing about this? And instead of the chat window, would you prefer to go back to having your messages cover your entire screen while you're trying to play? Again, welcome to 2012!
Quote from burninfate
-D3/sc2 are anti-social. You cannot just go into a chat room and talk to people. It is all focused on gameplay and will burn people out quickly
There are chat channels available to do so. I suggest you re-examine the menu screen...
Quote from burninfate
Do not get me wrong I was waiting for this game for years, it just seems that the "New" games, d3 and scII do not live up to their previous counterparts. I believe they should have waited before releasing this game.
There are some inconsistencies with the social system. For example, I don't see where I can update my battle.net status on my friends list like it is in WoW. Is this coming later, or are they removing status? I don't know.
In any case, thanks for sharing your "worthwhile" opinions. I genuinely hope you find gaming bliss once again... -

fayde2BLAQ posted a message on help me with wizardI'm currently level 55 on the 2nd Act of Hell and I find it fun this class actually takes a little finesse to play well. I can take out multiple champ groups without the use for Force Armor. In Nightmare I went for dmg and used Magic Weapon with a 1h / shield combo which worked really well. The AH is your friend and imo makes the game a bit too easy vs finding people trade with.Posted in: Wizard: The Ancient Repositories
I facerolled Nightmare with : http://us.battle.net...XSRO!YXf!baaZbb
Currently enjoying Hell with: http://us.battle.net...XQRO!YXf!baaYbb
Also that nightmare build if you get a beefy 2h I'd swap magic weapon with blizzard and reduced AP or CD whichever you have unlocked and it makes large packs cake combined with Venom Hydra. I use the Templar as well his charge / stun skills works wonders when he charges packs its as good as frost nova and his regen paired with Galvenizing Ward makes single 2k 3k hits regen rather quickly if there are no health globes up. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.
