    If you want an MMO-style game with people to play with then Diablo is not for you. It's basically a single player one-time console playthrough. If you try to treat it otherwise it won't be fun.




    A minority opinion on this forum, I should think. Shouldn't you have finished your one-time playthrough and left by now?


    I'm more than able to visit a forum about my favorite series to keep up to date on patches to see if there's anything interesting to entice me to come back and play for a bit. I'm not saying the game is bad by any means, but it's most certainly not an MMO.

    It isn't a single player game either. I have more fun running with clan mates than solo most of the time.
    And it is most certainly not a "one-time playthough" either - possibly the oddest thing I have ever heard said about a game in a genre that is all about repeating content again and again and again and again and again and again!

    Any hot tips on what the best set might be, of the ones on offer?


    I haven't played Wizard for a bit, maybe I should do that next season since I did see someone say Firebirds was pretty powerful?

    I recommend clearing out your stash just before the end of the season, it will save you the inconvenience of being mailed hundreds of items. :)

    Also, why are you so anti sets but pro runewords? Runewords are sets in one item...



    runewords arent sets..... and im anti sets because sets are more of a WoW thing... its not a diablo thing...
    What crack are you smoking? WoW has sets because D2 had sets, that's where they replicated the idea from!!

    Of course opinions are not unanimous. But I definitely think RMAH/AH distorted the game more, and was harder to ignore, for people who hated it. Hate seasons? Don't play season. End of story. Your non-seasonal game is completely untouched.
    There was no "non-AH" mode you could play if you hated the way it distorted the game.



    you literally had to press a button to get to ah or rmah. if you didnt want to, you didnt have to click that button. people felt compelled to ah to be competitive.


    Exactly. You could not play a multiplayer game without it being distorted by the AH. If you only ever want to play solo, then you could ignore the AH if you wanted to. Then you only collided with the fact that the difficulty and loot drops had been tuned around the assumption of AH usage.

    negasaurus rex. you can easily play a multiplayer game with people who hate ah and refuse to use it which should not be very difficult since apparently you all claim EVERRRRYONEEEEEEEEEEE hated it. i dont know what collided with the fact means, but loot drops were tuned around a ten year idealogoy. ah was PART of that not the source. the problem is their ten year ridiculousness. stuff that contributed to the ROOT problem include but arent limited to ah, lack of "smart" loot, bad legendaries with no abilities worth their legendary status, and bad item design (requiring socket on weapon or its trash). they, along with the general public, threw ah under the bus as a scapegoat then slowly started to fix their other problems. HOWEVER, imagine the game NOW with AH. you can find your own gear relatively well, but all the less-than-perfect items you find can be sold (assuming gold is not as easy to come by as it is now because gold is straight up worthless at this point with no sink) to possibly add up to something usable instead of 100+ souls.
    1. I never claimed that everyone hated the AH. I claimed that for those people who did hate it, it was hard to avoid.
    2. Play a multiplayer game with people who feel the same way? So, you mean, abandon any possibility of joining a random game, only being able to play multiplayer with like-minded friends / clanmates? Sounds like a massive distortion of the game to me.

    That was last season, probably better now since you can make all gear equippable at level 1, put on some XP/GF gear and Custerian Wristguards and so on... and there are probably other ways as well, but that's surely one.

    Haha, neat! But from "if people want to make a second level 70 character there are ways to get there in under one minute" I thought you meant there were ways you could do it yourself, without getting powerlevelled by friends.

    I myself love the ideal ...



    notyouagain2: Hi. Do you think it would be possible to add an option to auto pick up crafting mats in the future?

    Wyatt Cheng: We want to retain a sense that the crafting mats are real items. We have found that when something becomes auto-pickup, you often don't even notice when you get it or not. We added vacuum pickup to alleviate how much clicking you need to pick everything up (particularly after killing Gelatinous Sires!).


    I see what they are saying but at the same time isn't that kinda hypocritical? Wasn't gold something you had to pick up when Diablo 3 was released? I could be wrong but I remember having to pick up gold when the game released.
    I think that may have been the case in beta. For sure there was the Scroll of Companion that summoned a little pet to pick up gold for you.

    I did not gain or intended to gain any advantage, if would want to do so i would not stop after first try.

    Pointless discussion. I am not cheater i am not EXPLOITING any bugs, i tried bug that everyone talked about. ONCE.

    And that's why you only got a temp ban, not a permanent one. I salute you for being sensible enough to stop after your first try and thus avoiding more serious punishment.
    And now you know not to do it again, right?

    You won't find a game for anything below level 70 ;) People rush to level 70 - it takes a few minutes to get powerleveled, and if people want to make a second level 70 character there are ways to get there in under one minute.

    Any chance you could point a feller to something explaining these "ways" ? :-)

    i love theese "its all about my personal oppinion" threads...

    I particularly loved the way he proved that it was a minority opinion by specifically whining that everyone was playing seasons and that he had nobody to group with in non-season!!
    Yeah.. that's a good reason to remove something.. too many people like it!?

    Even though there was another topic that was closed due to the same type of potential flaming it would have brought,I wanted to get something out.


    What type of reward are you looking for and expecting from a game?

    What does it matter what others do?Set your own goals,dont live off of others achievements.

    You want to enjoy the game,well then enjoy it in your own way not others ways.

    The AH/RMAH was not something that gave people a purpose/reason to play.It was what made people quit playing.


    I just dont get why people have to complain about their own likes and dislikes based off of what others do,especially in a video game.


    what the hell? just because you dont believe it, it doesnt make it true. RMAH/AH gave me a purpose/reason to play. suck on that. your statement is false. It might have made other people quit playing, but most features are not unanimous. People love seasons. People hate seasons.
    Of course opinions are not unanimous. But I definitely think RMAH/AH distorted the game more, and was harder to ignore, for people who hated it. Hate seasons? Don't play season. End of story. Your non-seasonal game is completely untouched.

    I play pretty regularly (probably 5-10 hours a week) and I just muddle through at my own pace.


    Same here.

    Most of the time I just play solo because I hate the clutter of everyones spell effects and/or spending my whole time chasing after a dashing monk or WW barbarian.


    Same here.

    TL:DR - Play your own way.


    I'm trying but it seems I'm actually playing your way!! :-)
