Apparently some people are ok about everything life throws at them. "Product's not working? - It's fine, really. Promises not being held? - who cares? Silly DRM? - Well, whatever. Greedy corporates? - I'm fine with that. Shitty government? It's ok - no need to bitch."
It's that kind of cattle mentality that slows things from becoming better.
You heard it here first folks. If we don't bitch and complain to Blizzard and make them "fix" the game then the government will collapse and corporations will take over the world.
And idiots will be idiots. If that's all you take from his post, you're one as well.
It was their decision to make it online-only. Any problems that stem from that decision will always be on them.
I think it's relatively funny that everyone in this thread who is bitching happens to be throwing around insults at people who don't agree with them. So far I'm cattle and an idiot, anything else to add? Because your amazing vocabulary only further proves that you're incapable of forming a competent argument without using words you could hear any 12 year old who plays CoD every day screaming over the microphone when someone kills them. You knew coming in that Diablo 3 was going to be an online only game, if that was too much for you to handle then you should have rethought your purchase. Blizzard isn't going to sit down with everyone who wants D3 and ask them how to make it the way THEY want it, Blizzard is going to make the game Blizzard wants to. It's not their fault if you purchase the game knowing how it's going to operate just to bitch about it. It's YOUR fault.
I think it was a perfect argument for someone throwing "people are prone to bitching" around. And yes, I knew it was going to be online only. But that doesn't mean that I have to like that fact or the fact that it's on a constant maintenance and it doesn't mean that I shouldn't not go on official forums and let blizzard know that I don't like it in hopes that they will see reason for their future plans.
You can play the tolerance all you want but if you wake up one day and suddenly find that even the god forsaken tetris requires you to have a constant internet connection and The Elder Scrolls XIV requires a daily subscription fee, you will have no one else to blame but yourself for not bitching when the industry was still not that open about not giving sh#t about customers.
Offline would ruin online. See "Diablo 2" for evidence. Great game, but it was ruined by hackers and manipulators. Unless you think you can successfully argue that D2 kept it's integrity intact? I have a sneaky suspicion that many of the complainers probably were the same people that complained about D2 the whole time it's been out, as well, they're likely part of the bunch that was hacking it to death, all the while, complaining.
Oh please. This is total bs. Diablo 2 had totally different structure for online mode so comparing how D2 was ruined with hackers and what could have become of D3 if it had a separated offline mode is like comparing... I don't know... trains with cars maybe?
Besides, there will always be people trying to find ways to cheat and hack. D2 had dupers, WoW had dupers, D3 will have dupers. It has nothing to do with having offline mode but with how the online part was made, how it is being monitored and moderated. So please stop talking this nonsense about offline compromising online.

To the OP it's not that people are ungrateful or that nobody understands the problem of maintaining servers. It's just that people want the game to work and the game should have had offline mode, to start with, which could negate most of the problems we're facing right now.
If your goal is world first you'll achieve it easier if you spend your time first at softcore. This will help you much and you'll still be able to claim your WF. Just suggesting. Have fun in any case.
or we can just look at athene's stream and several other people doing the exact same thing in softcore and how they kill certain bosses. we can farm until they are successful, then we can try it ourselves? sound smarter?
Might work. But it's not the bosses that are going to be your main challenge but a lot of random rares and elites.
yeah it is best to let others finish first before us. oh wait, the title said world's first. derp! it is absolutely necessary to do HC first. our group is looking for the challenge, the thrill of expecting something that would just one-shot-dead us any minute, using our experience in various games to try to beat the game as intended by the developers.
i didn't say all of us will be successful or all of us will not die. that's the beauty of being in a large group, the cummulative experience and skill of every individual will get us closer to the goal. we help each other, suggest good builds and farm for each other. because at the end of the day, that feeling of finishing inferno in hardcore would make you wanna go outside and feel like..."oh yeah i'm the most awesome nerd on the planet!"
If your goal is world first you'll achieve it easier if you spend your time first at softcore. This will help you much and you'll still be able to claim your WF. Just suggesting. Have fun in any case.

Best like in "if your goal is world first"

He wasn't talking about prime evils being in cinematic. He was talking about black soul stone in cinematic.
