    Quote from BigEd781

    There's no BoA gear... well, not yet anyway.
    Quote from Exorsaik

    Ever see a Staff of Herding? BoA's are already in D3. Its not a big deal.

    Seems you missed that.

    Quote from Exorsaik
    D2 had TONS of balancing changes added to the game. Or did you think the game started out as patch 1.13d?

    The AH didn't break Diablo by any means, if anything it just made trading easier (which could be a pain in the ass in D2). But the core difference between it was in D2 you knew what you where trying to trade for, such as perf occy, vamps ect. In D3 the item structure is more obscure so player based trading wouldn't work, the items have too much variance.

    It's funny that you mention multi-player. So tired of this arguement. D2 and D3 where both meant to be played as multiplayer games. Playing D2 as singleplayer offline was so tedious and drawn out it wasn't worthwhile except while the servers where down. However, even in D3 theres no requirement to play multiplayer and its actually more friendly to a single player experience then D2 was. The only difference is it requires you to be online. Big deal, they announced this forever ago. If you bought the game despite this - get over it. If you bought the game without researching it, your a moron.

    So, let me get this straight; the crux of your argument is; "D2 had problems, so it's ok that D3 has problems"? Not a very strong argument.

    And blizz has already said that most people are playing single player. D3 as a mainly multi-player game is a myth, regardless of the original design intent. I see you didn't care to comment on the MMO'ish approach to D3, but that's ok.

    D3 is just underwhelming, and that's too bad, because many of us waited a very, very long time for it. Oh well, that's ok, just time to move on. "We'll release it when it's ready" is a total and utter joke at this point. They had the better part of a decade and they came up with... this? Really? What aspect of this game is so complex as to require such a laughably long development cycle?

    Quote from Fenixdown

    I kinda have to go with what this guy said. The only difference here is this is gear. Really, when you break it down, everything you get is "BoA" because your Stash is universally shared to begin with.

    I don't think you understand what BoA means...

    Quote from LeChokeJames

    I love how this complaint is coming out as if there aren't already BOA items existing in the game.

    But that's 'kay. Guess what, the ring is a reward for doing essentially a long quest. Everyone is going to get the ring sooner or later. Maybe you expect that your legendary ring reward not be bind to account so that you can sell it. But guess what, even if the ring has stats and is a good item to have it would have NO VALUE because the market would be saturated with them and everyone would be able to get their own anyway.

    Get over it.

    There's no BoA gear... well, not yet anyway. And I am so sick of hearing the AH used to defend game design decisions. The AH was a massive mistake in my opinion and I don't care how the AH will be affected at all, ever. Admittedly this is just my opinion, not necessarily an absolute.

    Also gtfo out with this way to WoWify Diablo criticism. What does that even mean? I would love to hear someone expand on that complaint.

    ...really?

    1. The artistic style of the game.
    2. The AH.
    3. The compulsive need to "balance" this game which, last I checked, is an ARPG, and requires no such balance. In fact, it just makes the game less fun.
    4. Forcing multi-player down out throats with an online-always policy, as if it could not have been implemented any other way.
    5. Upcoming BoA gear, if only one piece.

    WoW aside, it's obvious that an MMO mentality has had a major influence on this game.

    Quote from Vyce223

    No, no TL2 is greatness. It's pretty much a person who played diablo 2 and liked it next step forward. I mean I've had it for... 4? or so days now not to mention i didn't get to play it today and i invested 27 hours into it. Boss battles are much more than Diablo 3. Really the only thing it lacks in... or actually does terrible in is storytelling but 95% of people don't give a crap about the story either way.

    Ohh and yes I do fully expect to be called out as a liar here.

    Well, I said I wasn't expecting greatness, doesn't mean I'm not hoping for it :D I'll know soon enough.

    Agreed. But hey; TL2 comes out tomorrow, and Marvel Heroes looks sweet.

    TL2 looks so bad.

    I realize this is OT... but the original post isn't exactly constructive so, what looks so bad about T2? Side quests that are actually fun, better boss battles (so I read anyway), more expansive environment, more exploration (i.e., no rails like D3). I don't know, looks like a better buy for my $20 than D3 was for my $60.

    That said, I'm not expecting greatness. I'm holding out for Marvel Heroes.

    Quote from xajten

    There's first of all no such thing as trade scamming (us.battle.net/support/en/article/diablo-iii-scam-policy), you are responsible for pressing the Accept button after you see what the other party is offering. If you don't double-check then that's on you.

    Haha, yeah, ok. When they design a UI that makes it really easy to screw people over then yes, trade scamming exists. Don't be silly.

    BigEd781 posted a message on A possible solution for drop rate complaints
    Quote from phoulmouth

    Items that were selling for 50million gold 3 months ago are now selling for 10k gold or less. Specifically 1100 damage 2 handed weapons and 80 AR rare armor. And yet people like you still piss, whine, moan, and groan about loot and the AH.

    ...really? So what, you think gearing up via the AH is a fun game design?

    Hit 60 -> spend 20 minutes in the AH -> dominate inferno

    Yeah, that sounds awesome! Stupid.

    Quote from Bilge

    The more loot drops the more devalued it will become. The only reason it's worth anything is that it's rare, and I'd prefer it stay that way.
    Again: you're putting the in-game economy above the 'fun' factor. I just can't agree with this mindset.

    Exactly. This is my #1 problem with the game, and why I am pretty much done with it. The entire design just didn't work for me, so... MOP it is.

    Quote from Bilge

    Didn't Blizzard say that you're guaranteed a legendary drop every 500 elite packs, or am I just imagining things?

    You know, I could have sworn that they did, but I looked for a blue post saying as much a week or so ago and couldn't find it.

    Quote from Bilge

    Edit: On killing faster, it strikes me that many players play in a manner which is very inefficient. They may shoot every barrel and bone pile, or they may fully explore every map, or they may use builds which don't do very good damage. Watching videos and doing a little bit of research in the class forums section can help out quite a bit.

    Yeah, it sucks that they decided to make anything but killing elite packs as fast as possible a complete waste of time.

    BigEd781 posted a message on Is Attack Speed Real DPS?
    Quote from chaoslux

    Attack Speed is real DPS, more so than Crit/CritDamage.
    DPS is not Damage Done.

    Technically correct, but you're being (purposely?) obtuse. Obviously the spirit of the question is in regards to effective dps, not theoretical. So, it depends. IAS only gives you full benefit while you're consistently attacking. If you're stutter stepping/kiting then it has less value than crit/crit damage.

    Quote from akse

    If they make the good items more common they are not any more expensive in the AH soon. Soon it will be common gear and finding upgrades will be even more difficult. Soon you would need to roll the desired stats with close to perfect rolls on the stats. Now you need to roll most of the desired stats with quite high values to earn some money or get yourself an upgrade.

    ...but the AH has no bearing on drop rates, right?

    Quote from Winaiden

    I'm talking about every single item that they are wearing, all 4 of those characters, including the items in the SS's. Just in case there was any confusion.

    Right, but each piece can be picked up for literally like 20-50k. The mid-tier stuff is just so damn cheap now, and some (much) of it isn't even mid-tier. Do a quick AH check and... try not to let it get you down too much :D

    Quote from Winaiden

    Surely mid-tier gear for 4 characters total with some extras is worth $100. I mean, I won't deny that I could be wrong, but hell, I've seen people pay absurd amounts of gold/cash for a single trivial upgrade. Anyways, I'm trying to offer someone a deal here. If I'm way off the mark, well then....shite.

    So, I actually removed the post because I didn't realize that you were selling equipment for three classes and didn't feel like doing a mental price check for that much gear. However... mid-tier gear is always decreasing in price, and quickly. I wouldn't drop $100 for it.

    You can pick up a full set of mid-tier gear for 1-2m. I would estimate your barb and monk sets around at less than that. I just don't see any items that are particularly good. You have the top end or close to top end gear that is insanely expensive... and then everything else, which you can pick up for like 50k. I would vendor most of that stuff.

    EDIT: Ok, that's not completely true; I didn't know you would be handed a legendary ring for completing the infernal machine.
