I just don't understand people moaning about the AH, don't like it, don't use it. Simple surely?

It's fairly obvious that the decision to include it has impaced a lot of the other design choices in the game though. So even if you can just not use it, it still impacts on the players experience. Also, just because people don't have to use it doesn't mean there's no merit in discussing it's flaws.

Simple if you like the game and aren't interested in thinking any deeper than "I like Diablo 3."

Why would I want to think deeper? I just wanna hit mobs with a sword

Which is what people did in D2. Except it took them far longer to get there and was far more challenging to do so. Without your levels and build, there's only the gear left to motivate you.

Thing is, you would have already completed the game long before max level... admittedly you rarely kept going to 99 anyway. But the glory with d2 was getting gear to mesh with your build, Exploit the game mechanics and find/trade gear for your next character.

D3 just lacks the charm somehow.

And what happens when you can no longer hit them with a sword?  Let's say they one shot kill you before you even get close?

Just don't play the game anymore, and make sure to keep your opinions to yourself!

Then why are you here, disagreeing with people? If you're not interested in debate, quit coming in and making snide comments? Didn't this thread already get pruned once for that exact reason?

Well, my wizardess is level 60 now and I can both tank and vaporize crowds. The only thing that gives me trouble are elite mobs who have damage over time effects (molten, fire chains, plague, arcane) and are capable of dictating or preventing my movement (waller, jailer, vortex).

The accomplishment seems somewhat empty and shallow though. Blizzard has gone far down hill.

I'd go and buy off the AH, I have no issue with using it..

If I had an issue, I'd go replay the previous acts as intended.

Nenjin, all you've done in this thread is complain about D3. Now you've admitted you've actually barely played it, so I can't really take your arguments seriously.

[nenjin]

Oh so 30+ hours isn't enough to decide how I feel about a game? Since when is 100 hours required before you've done more than "barely played it?" Has D3 reached some magical state in video games where playing 95% of the game doesn't count?

And considering all you've done in this thread so far is "NUH UH" people, you haven't tried to discuss anything. So again, why are you here? Just can't stand the fact no one is fapping as hard as you are over D3?

For someone that just said "I don't want to think, I just want to hit stuff with a sword" you're sitting on a mighty high horse.

[Briggsy16]

Do you honestly think I was being serious with the sword comment? Really?

I don't consider having played the easiest difficulty of the game and a bit of the second easiest difficulty as having played the game enough to have such strong feelings on it no. You haven't played 95% of the game and I never said 100 hours are required, so let's not try putting words in my mouth thanks.

[Nadaka]

dudes... Its just a game. No matter how much you like it or it disappointed you.

[nenjin]

You haven't played 95% of the game and I never said 100 hours are required, so let's not try putting words in my mouth thanks.

So what's the magic number then, since my week+ of playtime isn't enough by your standards? And I consider it 95% of game when a) all of the content in the higher difficulties is the same b) elite mobs get one extra trait per difficulty and c) the gear is the only true outstanding difference, that's nickel and dimed over all 4 difficulties.

Do tell me what I'm missing. And try and say it without referencing "avoiding dying", something we argueably should have been doing in the first difficulty but didn't have to.

Start posting like you're actually interested in discussing something than just trying to be smart, then?

This line of reasoning is the exact same bullshit people spouted when FF13 was released. "Sure it's mostly just a corridor simulator with a terrible story, but it gets good 60 hours in (for an hour)" I played the D3 beta and that was enough to tell me I didn't want to buy it. You don't even have to play the game to identify that you do or don't like it. To suggest otherwise is just pompous.

If a game requires you to play through it 3 times before you see enough of it to form an opinion, then it's a terribly designed game. Just like if you had to experience any piece of media multiple times before you were allowed to form an opinion. It's bad design and it misunderstands how people experience entertainment on a fundamental level.

I think the game is fun. Also I throw jars of spiders at demons, which really never gets old.
