Sorry, I don't understand. I tried competing with players who play much more then me....and it occured to me I am no match for them. It was okey.
Also...i noticed, that some of these players have been using bots, basically having unrealistic playtimes.
Fact: It ruined the FUN and enjoyment, the feeling of competitive progress in a game that I actually like and spend my free-time with.
It is not the same for people who play it even less, and do not care about where they stand compared to others, ofcourse, but a lot of people DO care... should i compare this to a game that you play with your friends for fun? What if some of your friends where cheating? Would it be the same fun? Why would they even do that? - same for botters!
Just because it's an easy game with no "substantial" reward, doesn't mean it's okey to cheat in it.
Simple.
How is it the same as solitaire??

Keep up the good work Blizzard. Or the bad. Any work done is better then just saying 'meh.

I was trying to emphasize how stupid it is to cheat in a game like Diablo; no monetary gain, no "fame" or glory because at some point the cheating will be exposed, and so forth.

Cheating at a video game that offers no substantial reward for doing so is like cheating at solitaire.

My biggest takeaway from Blizzcon was: I wish I’d played the demo more. It was my 1st con, and I wanted to experience everything. But, my impressions on the game are overall positive; it looks and feels like Diablo, which may or may not be the easy part. The combat felt really visceral, much like D3; Leap was instantly satisfying and fun. Blues and yellows dropped often but you start at level 20 with a mix anyway. I did get a Legendary drop, an amulet that tossed out a spark of lightning to nearby enemies; perhaps that was just for the demo, I don’t recall too many low level legs (or D2 uniques) with passive effects like that, and it was cool.

at the end of the dungeon we did in the demo, there is a nifty little cutscene that shows your character emerging and there is some creepy audio to go along with it; I am sure one of the play through videos will show it.

i can’t wait for more info and the feedback level so far has been really good. Let’s hope that continues.

I only did one demo session, and played the barbarian. I liked the way the skills felt, Leap felt great and it was visceral and fulfilling. I should've gone back for more testing and played a few different classes but it was my first Blizzcon and there was so much to experience!

Really looking forward to what's in store; everything looks like it is pointed in the right direction. I'm kind of curious to know what is the biggest roadblock to release given the high quality of the graphics. Perhaps they need more F&F testers XD

My feelings on it are that the community was unnecessarily harsh because they were expecting a PC game and didn't get one.

It is like if you open your gift Christmas morning expecting some new video game and inside is a board game. It may be the best board game ever but if you got your hopes and built excitement about the video game, seeing that board game is such an instant let down that it is hard for you to give it a chance.

Same deal here. For me, I expected nothing so the game looked pretty damn awesome to me. Though I probably won't even play it because I'm not a huge mobile gaming fan. I have friends though, who will likely play it to death. As mobile games go it looks freaking amazing. Blizzard probably expected some disappointment but they likely genuinely thought they were revealing something really cool that they worked really hard on but that effort was completely invisible to the community because it couldn't see past disappointment.

Regardless though, the market will vote with its wallet. If the game is truly horrible, it won't make any money, Blizzard will learn its lesson and move on. I have a feeling Immortal is going to be really popular though and that 2 years from now most of the people having digital temper tantrums back in November will love it. The same thing happened with Hearthstone

Your analogy is not 1:1 to what happened. A more correct analogy is that your parents, knowing how much you love video games, and who should have clued into your hatred and/or disinterest of board games, tease at you with subtle hints of awesome things to come, ask you to get your gaming area ready, and then when you open your gift on Xmas, are dumbfounded as to why you don't like the board game they got you, and after closer inspection, you realize that it is another board game with different logos and graphics.

Well, it is a little hard to be specific about anything...unannounced...but here is a question that is fairly announcement neutral:

Can we expect some more feedback to the community, be it for D3 or any new project, on a routine basis? Discussing things like skills, gear, meta, and so forth would be greatly improved by regular feedback, a la World of Warcraft. Diablo does not need 6-8 people tweeting and posting everyday as WoW does, but even a few posts a week that lets us know you know we're here would go a long way.

All panels are 45 minutes now, with some exceptions. When D3 was announced, they didn’t have as many games as they do now. Besides, it isn’t a question of time. You don’t place a franchise that hasn’t had a new game in 3 years at the main stage of your convention and make it the first panel unless you have something BIG to announce. We may not know what is coming, but it is more than just D3 news.

If you people think that Diablo will be on the main stage and the first thing up just to talk about Netflix and a new class, I want what you are smoking.

There will be a new Diablo game of some type announced, I have no doubt of that. If it was a new class or DLC or even D2 remastered, it would be a side stage event. This is the main stage and front and center; they're not using that to tell us we're getting a druid.

I believe we'll get the announcement for the new game, and a gameplay video. Blizzcon 2019 will debut a cinematic and demo. We may also see the announcement of D2 remastered, available by Christmas!
