so much "Wait an see what have planned" bullshit from him.
we allready know that legenderies will be buffed, we know pvp is comming.
and we even know that class balancing is just around the corner.
so with that in hand what he has confirmed for us is
They were suprised about the problems at launch.
Well fuck me sidways with a cactus ! Even blind Sherlock Holmes could have seen that comming.
They are introducing somthing new for end game. (im interested in seeing what)
And how long before the forums explode with people bitching about this.
"We are also committed to ensuring you have a great experience with Diablo III without feeling like the auction house is mandatory, which was never our intention."
It may never have been the intention, but how many players have never used the AH (to sell or buy) Of course the AH is mandatory, theres no way around it. and Blizzard know this.
Honestly, he has blown so much smoke up peoples ass's with this post I find it difficult to belive that he has not sat behind his desk and though " I better make a post about somthing to distract people from all the fuckup's in the game" and guess what, it worked, people lapping it up like a cat would drink fresh cream.
The solution is simple: stop playing the game. The one thing I'm truly boggled by on the internet is that people who loathe a game don't just stop playing they come on the forums and rage like it's going to make a difference (goes for all games, not just D3). I tried out Age of Conan and Warhammer Online. when I realized they sucked I stopped playing them and moved on to something else. I didn't rush to the forums and make up a bunch of guesses as to what the developers were doing and planning.
At this point nothing they say is going to make you happy, so that begs the question: Why are you still worried about it?
Venom Hydra and Blizzard do not crit due to a bug with all DoT effects not critting. Blizzard (not the skill) is aware of this issue and hopefully it is resolved soon.
Based on my beta experience Volatility will lose a lot of effectiveness in team play vs solo. After they moved Electrocute to level 15 the next viable source of AoE was Shock Pulse w/ Explosive Bolts, but I noticed a huge drop in the AoE proc in team games because you don't always land the killing blow. Explosive Bolts has a 100% proc rate vs Volatility's 35% chance which is roughly 1 in 3. So not only do you have to make sure to be actually killing the mobs (which is pure luck most of the time), but also you are fighting with the rng that is built into the rune.
Convergence would be great while leveling up and then swapping to Intensify at level 59 would net you better results in team games.
