    Quote from Zero(pS)

    I like the random aspect introduced to Uniques/Legendaries.

    The real problem is how they don't have unique affixes to them (probably intentionally by the design team to not have a balancing nightmare), just uniquely "placed" affixes (like attackspeed on a belt, for instance).

    The biggest issue with allowing items to roll a specific set of affixes is that it devalues the good rolls, and inevitably floods the market with marginal upgrades. There are few items (like a wand legendary, say) that can be truly "trash" with specific stats on them. Most items can be utilized by a multitude of classes based entirely on those random rolls.

    With the game as it is (specifically the auction house speeding up the trading process and making gearing up tens of times easier and faster than in D2), watering item rolls down to make them better itemized as a baseline would only contribute to the problem now where people are "beating" the game so quickly, and having great gear in a short amount of time.

    Items randomized to make things harder to find? Game sucks, items shouldn't be so bad. Game rolls good items on a regular basis? Game sucks, gearing up (and thus killing stuff) is too easy.

    It's lose/lose with these people who want Diablo 3 to be game X, Y, or Z that they used to play. Change is bad.

    In 2 months you'll still be playing, guaranteed.

    Someone told me that a month ago. I kind of wish they were right but I'm not a fan of RMAH endgame. :QQ:
    Edit: For anyone who has seen Kripparian's video on how to fix the game, does anyone know if Blizzard has responded to it? I'm not a fan of Kripparian so much to watch his stream for more than a few minutes but the man essentially fixed Diablo in 50mins and I would love to know if Blizzard took anything at all from it.

    Stating opinion as fact; I can only imagine why you struggle to find entertainment in games.

    Kripparian didn't fix a damn thing for the game, other than trying to make it an elitist's playground.
    blizzard disagrees with you actually, a blue posted that he watched both his and athene's feedback and said they both have some interesting ideas, knowing blizzard none of those ideas will probably go trough but they maybe make something that is based on that idea and then improve upon it

    A blue saying they're "interesting ideas" doesn't mean they disagree with me, or anyone else. Do you actually know what "interesting" means?

    Had they said "those are ideas we share and are working on implementing," then yes, that would mean they disagree; to say they're "interesting" means nothing more than they're "interesting." Even I can agree with that.

    Well after ais patch i was so angery because i used real currency to get an item and then it basically got nerfed. So i went to paypal and did a charge back due to fraud and item was altered from its original state. Now its funny TOS states its a bannable offense to chargeback.

    The blizzard support also emailed me saying they were going to ban my account as well which i replied to stating that i would contact a lawyer. I used the example of buying a new car with the highest upgrades blue tooth, sound system, low profiles ect, saying that if i purchased a car then took it to the dealership for check ups and they took all the stuff back saying its our car we do what we want when we want would not hold up in court. They had absolutly no reply back. So i then went back to pay pal chargebacked my account for the full price i paid and waited.

    2 days later they refunded the money for my item and the full amount of the game. Which means blizzards Tos allowing them to screw over players and not refunding will not be tolerated by paypal. So if you are not happy with the game i would suggest to contact paypal and open a dispute.

    Read: I failed to read the ToS (which I legally agreed to [and legally claimed I had read them] when clicking accept), failed to read patch notes, and am now crying about it while A.) threatening legal action of which I have no foundation or understanding, and B.) committing fraud against Blizzard (by way of refunding your account money with which you have already purchased an item that you now hold).

    Perhaps you should contact a lawyer - they can clue you in as to how absolutely moronic your actions are.

    It's a bit funny that he himself is commiting fraud against Blizzard now, I miss the ol' Blizzard that would take these seriously and counter-sue and make an example out of people like this. (Private servers, etc days.)

    How I long for the days when calling their parents would have been the most effective way to curb this crap.

    posted a message on Does anyone actually sell anything on this forum?
    Quote from Strategoes

    Anything posted on AH will usually get you more than what you can here because 1) people on these forums tend to know the actual value of an item 2) much smaller pool of buyers for your item on forums 3) forum posters are cheap and likely just want to buy your item to resell

    4) People like the OP never list a minimum price (but they sure do on the AH!) and then whine when someone offers them a price that's lower than what they wanted.

    It'd be like a grocery store having no price tags on their items, and then being upset when someone offers them 50 cents for a gallon of milk.

    List minimum prices or stop complaining (and yeah, if someone offers that minimum, you need to sell to them or your credibility around here goes to zero).

    I think the fact that some 10 million people bought it already is pretty astounding. Like.....how long would anyone consider sales to continue at millions per week after selling out so many copies to their target demographic?

    Until starving children in Africa are purchasing Diablo 3, sales are a pretty big flop, clearly.

    Quote from lorien1973

    Seriously, stop acting like the AH is evil incarnate. It's simply an easier way to trade items and commodities.
    Again. A strawman. And I've answered this previously as well. Not evil-incarnate; but it has (And be honest, you know this) pushed the curve forward and made loot drops nearly meaningless as 99.9% of the time a better item exists on the AH. You clicking on blues/yellows is not even worth the effort. And everyone knows it; that's why everyone complains about bad rolls and affixes.

    Your hyperbole is fantastic. You're also still missing the point, but that's not a big surprise either.

    It's obvious you have your own idea on how this game should be played, and unfortunately continue to confuse the general, whiny public's opinion on why this game isn't fun to why this guy made the video in the first place.

    Keep treating Diablo 3 like a single-player game, and the rest of us (who actually understand how Diablo works, ignoring the general mass of people who will cry about anything and everything) will keep enjoying the game for what it is - different trading schemes and all.

    Quote from Roger

    Quote from lorien1973

    It's not impressive at all. That's the point. Any idiot can go to the auction house, go "max buyout 40k" and reverse sort the buyouts lowest to highest and find adequate gear. I mean; if that's the game for some people. Great. But all it really does is highlight the biggest problem in the game. Which is:

    If any idiot can do it, why people whine on the forums saying that the act 2 Inferno on is impossible?

    The easy access to good loot via the AH has pushed the loot curve forward; making the act of finding items meaningless. The game may as well not drop loot at all. It's just garbage collection for gold to be used to purchase an upgrade at a vendor. Which is really what this is, isn't it? The AH is just a vendor in town where you buy loot to upgrade. Progression isn't about skill or effort. It's about how much money you've invested. Hell, may as give players "valor points" for each boss they kill and let each upgrade cost 500 valor points at the in-town vendor for items. Guess that cuts too close to WoW; but that's really what it is, isn't it?

    This is diablo. You kill LOTS of monster to get very little good loot. It has always been this way. That's what make every upgrade so special. It was just like this in D1 and even more in D2. Anyone can farm and find good items so they can trade for other good items.

    And I was a fan of the AH before this game was released. But it's 100% retarded that your only time-wise good path to upgrade is by the AH.

    Remember, before (and early on!) this game was released; it was all about time investment and how long it'll take to get good gear before clearing inferno. How many Act 1/2 runs will I need? Then, it was about how much gold can I purchase from gold farmers to progress. Now, it's about how can I clear Act 1/2 on a budget? Really? Really?

    Yes. How many Act 1/2 runs you need to find items or gold so you can progress? Just like before. You are missing the point.

    I never played D2, but I've understood that more time played meant you'd eventually get really good items. D3 means the more gold/cash you've invested means you'll get really good items. While I'm not a huge fan of D2-nostalgia; it seems like a better method.
    In D2 the more time you played you'd eventually get good items that chances are they wouldn't be good for your class. So you would spend hours/days/weeks farming trading games and forums so you could trade them for some gear for you. The AH is pretty much the same in seconds/minutes. Stop staring at the AH thinking it is something evil that makes people spend money instead of farming, it is just a trade facilitator.

    Woah woah woah. You're just being too obvious and logical here, making it incredibly difficult for that guy to keep completely missing the point. How's he supposed to take a big dump on someone else proving a point if you keep making it clear that he's side-stepping it entirely to make his own, entirely irrelevant point.

    On a related note, everyone talking about how using the AH is "cheating" or "unimpressive" is clearly lacking in either Diablo experience, or common sense. In Diablo 2, you had three (3) ways to trade or sell goods:

    1. You sat in chat and spammed like a goober. This was inefficient, and usually resulted in other spam overwriting yours.
    2. You made a game with a very compressed title, hoping someone caught it in a refresh, and farmed while praying your item was wanted. Additionally, you could join "trade games" which were huge cluster*^$#%s and someone usually got scammed.
    3. You sold or traded via third-party websites (often illegally), hoping it was a legit trade.

    #2 is no longer available, unfortunately, as it was probably the most efficient way to legitimately trade in D2. Instead, we have the AH, where you can post an item and people can search for it using their own metrics. This saves time, it saves effort, and it makes it MUCH easier to get the item you want in return (because you get a liquid asset called gold that you can spend on whatever you want).

    Seriously, stop acting like the AH is evil incarnate. It's simply an easier way to trade items and commodities.

    Quote from KorganNailo

    It is interesting how people understand the same information differently.

    When I made the post I was more surprised than anything. Granted, I still don't feel this is a mature enough product, but I play the game and have fun with it. Not leaving or anything, but was quite alarmed with the graphic, that is all.

    Just wanted to post this to those saying I was trolling a fan site. That was not my idea.

    Part of it, I believe, was the content of your accompanying post that seemed to imply the graph was correct (see: Blizzard pushing out patches so fast? [to prevent more player loss]), rather than just something to think about.

    And while interesting how people understand things differently, it becomes increasingly less interesting (and more frustrating) when it's apparent that the understanding is born out of ignorance of either the presenter of the information (not you, but the creator of the graphic and "story") or/and the person interpreting it.

    It's one thing to have an opinion on the game, it's another entirely to present as fact information that is either unconfirmed, or skewed in such a way that it creates a false reality (like claiming the game is dead or dying because xfire lost users or Amazon is no longer selling 100,000 copies a day).

    If I may step back from the QQ/fanboi wars for a second... the jury has come in.

    Diablo III lasted five weeks as #1 on the amazon charts, only to get replaced by.... wait for it....

    Dragon Age?!?

    If the idea was to drive people back to WoW, where they paid their sub like good shee... err... panda.... Mission Accomplished!


    http://www.amazon.co...deogames/229575

    You realize it's based on volume of sales, right?

    How long did you expect a single item to remain at #1 for, exactly?

    Stepped right away from QQ/Fanboi warfare into logical/insane wars.

    Obligatory edit: It even says right at the top of the page "Our most popular products based on sales. Updated hourly." That should clue you in as to how their "ranking" is based and why it's completely irrelevant, at all.

    Can you trolls find a new schtick?
