Diablo 3

Re: Diablo 3

Have they basically said that the loot system will be similar to the console versions?

I feel for the guys on PC only, as I played it for a couple months on PC when it first released. I quickly realized that I needed to either invest months and months worth of gameplay just to have a respectable character, or I needed to invest my own money to properly improve. That was absolutely not going to happen, so I shelved it and never returned.

I picked up the PS3 version when it came out after hearing good things, and the difference really is night and day. I've now got a pretty good Barbarian firmly entrenched on Master 1, and a beast of a Demon Hunter who is comfortably on Master 2, with the occasional jump to Master 3.

I have to say, after missing out on every loot based game in the past, I understand where the addiction comes from. I've been doing runs collecting keys for the infernal machine with my DH for a month or so, and along the way, i've slowly been upgrading his gear by either collecting mass amounts of gold and crafting stuff, or just by picking up legendaries.

I haven't played the Console version so I can't compare... but in playing on the PTR it's amazing.

I would have never said 60% of the bad stuff I said about D3 if it was like this since the beginning.

I've played through Acts 1 & 2 completely, and did a few runs of the very last quest in the game (the one that is basically Izzy and Diablo.) Every single piece of gear I had has been upgraded by drops I have found on my Wizard (mainly what I was running around as just messing around.)

I'll put up my drops and their stats, just to show that Loot 2.0 is crazy different compared to the **** we had.

Spoiler

Obviously it's not the greatest, but it's light years ahead of what I was wearing even though the rolls on them were kinda crappy.

That's awesome man. The game is so much more enjoyable when you know that the loot grind will pay off.

I hope that Loot 2.0 turns this around for everyone on PC. I know that most people (well, mostly everyone on the official Blizzard boards) will bash the hell out of it regardless, but if the changes make the game anything like the console version, everyone that WANTS to enjoy this game will.

I dont know but D3 just left a bad taste in my mouth. The main thing about it is that theres no stat placement which really irritates me. But I will try it once the expansion releases.

So is the auction house gone?

Not until March 18th.

I'm guessing that with loot 2.0 you wont need to go for much of anything in the AH since the look you find on the class you're own should roll with better stats then random ones like before.

The maintenance period has been extended until approximately 3:00 PM PST. We apologize for any inconvenience and will provide additional updates as they become available.

Thank you very much for your continued patience. <- from blizzard

Re: Diablo 3

I'm probably going to give this game another shot when Reaper of Souls is out. It still makes me sad how this game turned out.

Re: Diablo 3

I loved it but yes it had it's flaws...i think the new adventure mode in Reaper will fix most of what people have issue with though

Re: Diablo 3

After messing around for 2hrs with the new patch, I might actually buy the expansion. Loot 2.0 has definitely made the game more enjoyable.

Hmm. I was pretty much only planning to return once the AH was removed, but now I'm intrigued.
