At this point is just too convenient to invest a small amount of money to buy gold and gear up a char to lvl up in high mp10 than playing the game, if you are not a masochist (as me).
If Blizzard wants to keep raising the gold stack for RMAH, they will just go down a neverending spiral because third party sites will always have the cheapest gold and Diablo 3 just keep pumping this currency without limits, inflating the economy without stop.
Some time ago i would never said this but i really wish we would had a Ladder reset every few months to keep the economy from collapsing or implement some BoA system to avoid oversaturation of items on the AH, maybe tied to some sort of enchant npc (mystic) that will empower your items but make them untradable.

I know i will sound like a hater, but i just need to vent some rage at Blizzard: "Good job idiots, you didn't foresaw gold inflation and botter competition after a month of the game lifespan! Just keep making gold cheaper on the RMAH, it will fix the problem!"

I really hope next patch and expansion will make these problems worthless...
At this point, if i ever feel like playing this game before "Loot 2.0" i will just stay in HC.

That Leahblo art is so cute <3

It's a really nice recap of what happened in this year..... wow, one year already....

I know it's hard to believe but they can't do it all in one day. There will be no miracle patch. It's piece by piece as it has been for the last year and the game has improved greatly.

Actually I'm not even sure this is a serious post, these notes have been around for weeks, even a month.

And there were more pressing matters from retail than these "minor" quality of life changes. They had to rebalance Inferno to make it playable for the majority of players without using cheesy tactics (grave ressing, perma smoke screen and others), improve legendary items, crafting and PvP (which got screwed quite bad in my opinion).

I agree Blizzard is taking very cautious steps, even too much for my taste, but i'm quite happy that they are still working on this game to make it more enjoyable every time.

I hope this will bring more co-op games. I'm tired to play alone and my friends left
And with Tags, we already know what the plan of the party is, so it's a good quality of life change for me.

Wow, now i need to level my ice wizard to 60, so i can play with Sleet Storm or Black ice and Blizzard °°

I never understood why Fortune Shrines weren't exceeding the MF/GF cap from the start. Maybe the Dev Team was afraind that players would take note of the location of this buff and keep it until they found an elite pack....

I was so disappointed to not have a Blizzcon last year, i hope this one will make up for two

Filter for multiplayer games is a really good thing, I hated when i joined random parties and found out it was a PvP game, quite annoying and i abandoned co-op games quite fast. While most (read: all) of my friends stopped playing D3, it's boring killing monsters alone. Hopefully the new matchmaking and tweaks on co-op will make playing in group better.

The best thing i read is the new Legendary system. It's a shame that all those low lvl Legendaries don't get much love (rephrase, they don't get it at all). If Inferno drops all orange (brown? w/e) items scaled to max lvl, it gives some good diversity.

As i said on the other topic. He's a scape goat, nothing else.

I don't care about PvP, but this blog was quite bad. After 7 months of hyping some form of PvP, they just gave up and went back to the basic formula... duels.
It feels like they want to give a cookie to the PvP crowd so they won't yell about its lacking anymore.... I would be disappointed too if i wanted what they promised months ago....
Meh.... it's a low blow in my opinion, really low.

I think Jay is a real sensible person. After working hard on Diablo 3, he and his team has been swarmed by harsh criticism (valid or not it's not my point). They started working hard to deliver 1.0.3, and it didn't stop. Just a few days before the release of 1.0.4, Brevik did that interview and i think Jay couldn't take it anymore and vented some frustration.

Was it a good decision? Ofc not. Is it justifiable? I don't think so. He made a huge mistake as a human, and he will probably pay the price for a while. I feel sorry for him...

My only complain is MF not affecting chests.... at this point i will just skip them because i know it will just a bunch of whites and blues...
