I hope they genuinely are only smoothing out the inferno curve, and not just simply making the whole thing easy for the fucking WoW bears to farm.

Diablo NEEDS a very, very hard difficulty that will take a long time to master. This was all Diablo 2 was lacking.

They never said they would and they won't, as it would kill their own game along with the RMAH!

They are only addressing the insane spike damage some mobs give out that one shot you left and right.

Having mobs one shot you, due to spike damage impossible to counter, except for the range classes, doesn't make a challenge! It turns it into a frustrating chore.

Every class should be able to overcome Inferno, not just the ranged classes.

 

 I'm pretty militant about not making the game easier. If this is just a balance pass it's clear the game needed it. I think it will also spread out people instead of having them target only particular sections of the game. We'll have to see what the drop rate changes actually do.  I'm not seeing a cause for drama.

Still no mention of offline playability? Hmm...

What makes you think they are ever going to allow you to play D3 offline?

Making you sign into Battle.net and the AH should be all the clues you need to know to realize D3 will never been an offline game.  They did this to stop the massive hacks that where all over D2.

I would not count on Blizzard making D3 offline anytime soon or anytime at all really.

Im mostly looking at the changes to attack speed and wondering if this was really an issue for alot of folks. Were people finding it overpowered? Or was it an issue because of attack speed combined with the reflect damage on mobs owning people?

I am suprised to hear that rares drop off bosses. I have only seen them on the first play through of each boss, never had a rare drop off one since. I thought that was intended to prevent farming. I must be really unlucky I guess...  :/

 

 

 

No you just haven't reached lvl 60 and farmed inferno

People are missing the basic problem inferno had.

Act 1, 2 ,3 4 are levels 60,61,62,63,

You couldnt get gear for act 2 unless you were in act too, but you needed gear from act 2 to even survive the farm to get the gear to do act 2, hence the need to use the auction house. the only classes that could muscle through the acts were ranged, and they were doing so used canned cookie cutter builds. which went against the promised design blizzard had, which is, every build is viable, which it currently is not in the curret state of inferno.

Having gear over lap makes sense, it shouldve been like that from the start. the other stuff jut seems excessive. no need for garunteed rares and shit like that.

I just want to farm my gear, i dont want to fuck farm gold to buy my gear, which is what ive been doing the last few days.

I have been playing D3 a little but most of these updates to drop % and shit is way over my head.  Really guys this game is not that fun, why are you so obsessed with gathering up gear?

Nope. They're just preparing for the mass exodus of players once Torchlight 2 comes out. :)

Blizzard wants you to play through the whole game. They want you to explore and look for elite packs for Neph buffs. 

They don't want people to simply farm a boss the entire time for drops. 

Im playing through Act1-2 Inferno. I clear both acts over and over. When i finish act 2 i start Act 1 again. 

I get my gold, gear/recipe drops and a challenge because you never know what you will face around the next corner.

I can't imagine how boring it must be to do nothing but farm The end bosses of each act over and over... THey never change. Might as well go back to WoW and Farm static dungeons.

The fact that there's this much controversy about d3 just shows you how lack luster of a game it is.

They removed so much of what made diablo great.

The list is endless of the stuff that was stripped out...      They sold a bunch of copies on the diablo name, when you take a real hard look at the game mechancis of this game, its a step backwards from diablo 2 that's for sure.

The sad thing is, the sales did so well, that diablo and what it means is now dead.
