Quote from Youarefired

He could of been doing anything and suffered a heart attack. It's funny they mention the game to try and spice things up.

^^^

It's almost always sad when someone dies, but honestly, this guy committed suicide. He was grossly overweight and unhealthy, a ticking time bomb. This is no different than a smoker who comes down with lung cancer (I am a smoker myself). Sad? Yes, and also completely avoidable and self-inflicted.

Yeah, I read about this over at HackerNews, and this guy was grossly obese and led a completely sedentary lifestyle. *This* is why he died of a heart attack, not because of playing video games. Staying up for three days playing a video game was certainly the catalyst, but it was going to happen sooner rather than later regardless. If he were a reasonably healthy person to begin with he would have been fine.

and a wizzard - faceroll champ

Not any more my friend, read the front page. Now every class gets chewed up and spit out in acts 3 and 4 inferno.

Quote from Adkhean

i'm a lvl 51 wizard, just finished NM and here's what I do:

Everything below that line is irrelevant. What works in NM is not necessarily what will work in inferno.

How about getting there and, you know, playing the game yourself to figure out your preferred build? Part of the fun is tweaking your toon until you have something that works. You haven't even beat Act I and you're looking for people to tell you how to play in inferno. Yeesh.

Quote from Serpenth

I wouldn't say unfinished.

I would. Because it is literally unfinished. I have a feeling that many of the haters are going to be eating crow after awhile. Those that leave will come flooding back. It'll be like a football game where the home team is getting blown out and half the stadium leaves. By the time they start driving home and turn on the radio to find out the score is tied, they come rushing back in.

Myself, I'm staying in my seat.

Derp, misread that the first time.

Quote from youwillneverknow

Can we just hold on on this "we have all already beaten inferno" and "we all have maxed loot" ?!?

Yeah, again, I think D3 is worth the $60. I think it's a good game. A lot of people criticizing it feel the same way.

And certainly there's more hours people can play it beyond 1 week.

But the way things look right now, the game will not last anywhere near as long as D2 did. That's the main point. if things stay the same, there's no way you'll be able to play it anywhere near as long as D2. Which again, may have been Blizzard's goal all along, but is not something that makes serious players feel good because they might've expected something different.

Yeah, I do agree with this. As it stands currently I don't see DIII going strong after decade (or even a couple of years really).

Quote from Grimace

Diablo 2 changed my childhood...

Yeah, that's probably not a good thing, but I agree with some of your points.

- This game has very little shelf live. Especially for $60 USD. Level 60 cap. I've already maxed my character THREE DAYS after the game came out. It took weeks to level in D2 and thats something I greatly enjoyed. You're hard work showed when you were the ONLY level 99 out of your friends.

Reaching level cap is not "beating" Diablo, you should know this. I played DII, it didn't take weeks to reach a high level, and people have been playing DIII marathon style since it came out.

-Blizzard said it would takes MONTHS to get to inferno. Many people, including myself, have beaten most of it.

Yeah, I didn't see that happening. Again, people are playing this game non-stop, and if you notice the people "beating" inferno are skipping champ packs (especially past ActII), using skill combinations that trivialize boss mechanics, and rushing to the finish line. That's fun for some, but it is hardly the general case.

-The auction house is COMPLETELY messed up. I've spent gold an received no items multiple times.

Yeah, the AH UI is a steaming pile of dog crap.

-Your character HAS to use certain skills or you will die. The monk only HAS to go healing or you wont survive inferno.

I fail to see how this is any worse than DII. I will say that the champ packs are ridiculous and not challenging in a fun way which forces you to use skill to beat them. In DII you had a small set of viable builds and, unless you were just goofing around, you didn't have many *real* options.

Quote from Findulidas

What I find amusing is that people put up legendaries for 200k+ on nm while you could easily get a better rare at the same levels for around 10k. Hell If you do a search for under 5k and go through some pages you could easily get stuff thats decent at times.

Yep, the AH is too powerful for that matter. We can add in filters such as Max buy out 10000, STR 60 VIT 100 and just keep click on search till something pops up.

And why is that a bad thing?

Well, it hurts the replay value to me, essentially I was paying to play less. Maybe someone enjoys this, but I wanted to play the game more and getting the loots from the elites rather than this. I know the answer to it, just couldn't resist the charm of the auction house lol.

Then.... don't do that? The AH isn't forced upon you, play how you want to play. If you use the AH then you obviously don't enjoy grinding for your gear.

"I play on the easiest difficulty, the difficulty that was created for casuals and beginners and it's just so easy! This game sucks!"

Seriously dude, you're playing EZ-mode and complaining that it's easy.....

Quote from InfidelMan

Silly blizz fanboys.

...What? How does this have anything to do with fanboyism? You bought something, it didn't live up to your expectations, but it is not defective. You took a chance as a consumer, you lost this one. It happens. How did you become such a self-entitled baby?

Quote from InfidelMan

I purchased the standard digital edition of D3, now that I play it for the 5th day straight, in inferno I start to realize what a fail this is. The game got simplified to the bone, limited just generic. I don't even understand why it's called DIABLO 3.

Yeah, and next time you go to a restaurant you should definitely ask for a refund if you don't like the food... after you have cleaned your plate... right? You don't get a refund because you buy something and it isn't your cup of tea. Grow up.

Quote from Doez

Last night was the first time I've gotten pissed off in the game. I was in the Caldeum sewers, and there was only 1 path to the exit. I faced a champ pack of Vortex/Molten/Fire Chains. I was dying instantly. No time to even leap attack out of it. Every time I died, my wife saw it on my screen, and had to rub it in my face.

Haha, I had to laugh. "You Have Died". My girlfriend does the same thing.
