LOL i thought this was the solution from Blizzard to make the End game last longer!

actually, this was NOT an endgame solution, it wasn't a content patch. they never claimed it was an end game solution. the only thing this was a solution for was to the dilemma of farming and not finding anything, making time invested unrewarding. one of the things about d2 that was great was you could farm meph or whatever all day, find jack, and the day wasn't a total loss. in D3, that wasn't true, because there was NO GOAL with a level cap so easily obtainable other then to either find something, or piss away your time. 1.0.4 was a big change for those of us who actually like our time to be worth SOMETHING if we sit there 3 hours playing and find jack. this was blizzards idea for THAT, not end game. Not to mention adding some reward later on that allowed you to min max and itemize out of MF as a gear stat.

HOLY SHIT? IS THERE A LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL?

no light, just mindless grind till you give up or the servers go black, this is blizzard's way of saying, hit THIS cap in a week d-bags!

i've never seen a company profit so well off of torturing people outside of the defense industry

This is them answering the concerns a lot of us had with D3 completely lacking some kind of leveling system at end game. waht made d2 so less grindy was the fact that you could MF run all day and not find a damn thing, and yet feel your day wasn't wasted cause at least you earned exp. D3 on other hand, it's time spent vs time rewarded was so bad, that unless you found an item that was good, EVERY time you played, you always felt robbed of your time. it's not enjoying to feel like you played a game for a couple hours, and got NOTHING to show for it. So in a sense, this system is a MAJOR fix to that..what it is NOT however, is a cop out to content. This is NOT a content patch, 1.1 is. this is just a systems patch to fix gameplay design issues. content is still coming later, so don't try to call this a cop out for content or running out of things to do. This is them doing exactly what a lot of us (including myself) asked them to do, to address the game design issue of there being nothing to show for our time more often than not.

I have no idea how you even found those mpqs, they changed folder path for it. you have one hell of an aggressive script checker if you're scanning thousands of possible folder paths for hundreds of possible builds in each path. that, or some good contacts.

edit, nevermind, they didn't change path, i just wasn't missed the mpq file dowload cause it was so damn small it downloaded while i blinked and i way scanned passed it. sigh. none the less I found it. still gotta get a new script that can make up folder combinations tho. i such at unix bash scripts. (how on earth is 1.0.4 only 12MB )

no, diablo 3 is all about farming items in the most efficient way possible, turning melee classes into ranged ones is just ... retarded and a complete waste of time.

Cause owning act 2 bosses and champions with ease is a waste of time, with a barb no less? It'd be a waste of time if it wasn't viable or doing crap dps and took 25252 days to kill stuff. However, quite frankly, he's owning stuff a lot faster then the traditional inferno tanky build most are using which stay in melee range and take all day to kill stuff. A glass cannon playstyle is just as good as a strong tank that hits like a wet noodle, if you ask me, probably much more efficent if you can make the glass cannon work though, time management wise, and doesn't that equate to faster item generation? Did you even watch the video?

finally found it, 10057

what's the build number? It'll take me hours to find the files trying one buid number incriments at this rate it seems.

Also, remember how long 1.0.2 was on patch server before being released, about 11 days. It did not get released the immediate tuesday/wed following it's appearance but week after, it just sat on servers, done, for almost 2 weeks. I'll be surprised if 1.0.3 is next week. But never know

I do find it amusing how many think korea has anything to do with the game being delayed. they obviously haven't played beta. Server's are not optimally stable, the client is buggy and unoptimized. then again there are those that are aware of how "beta" quality it is and say it's on purpose to hide korea delays, wtf? What utter nonsense.
