User "Dalestra" said:

|The game is still very young, and it's an amazing game (as most will agree.) But there does have to be some changes in the way classes play out. We were promised various viable builds for customization, but it seems like everyone is following 1 person's build just so they can survive past Act 2 Inferno.|

User "Bashiok" responded with:

|"Absolutely! That's the problem exactly. These outlying OP skills need to be handled before we can pinpoint any content adjustments we need to make for the difficulty to feel a bit better, fight the need to kite everything which is killing melee's souls, address items, like, we understand and are working on all of these things. We're going to be working on and supporting this game for years to come, two weeks out, sure it's probably going to need some sanding. Bear with us. We love you.|

Hope that helps. Also, Emergency87... We need to talk about your TPS reports...

GLORIOUS!

But seriously, this is great news. I'm in Hell and having a great time, but man-- without the Auction House and the few lucky drops I was able to sell, I would be so fucked.

60 upvotes, not a single downvote. Truly worthy.

IGN just gave Diablo 3 a 9.5, do you think this is a fair score? by VodkaMonsterin Diablo

[–]RationalArgumentMan -1 points0 points ago

5% away from perfection-- give me a break. Game reviews in the last 5-10 years have been an absolute farce. No game is perfect, yet you'll always see the occasional 10 out there because it's not about a real rating, it's about generating hype. I can't source this, but I remember reading a few articles a while back that talked about how games like Modern Warfare franchises will get ridiculously high ratings just because the rating system is bought out.

Edit: I'm not saying Diablo 3 is bad by the way-- I think it's fantastic, but I just don't see what's so wrong about being honest and giving a rating of let's say, 8.5 or maybe 9.0 when you factor in the various issues. I think people would get really offended if it got anything lower than a 9.5, but only because the bar has been superficially raised.

When a hardcore character dies, what happens to their gear/items? Are the irretrievable, or can they somehow be accessed and transferred? by RationalArgumentManin Diablo

[–]RationalArgumentMan[S] -1 points0 points ago

Well, shit... I'll stick with softcore.

But seriously, that's pretty intense. You hardcore players are... hardcore. Reminds me of Willy Wonka's "YOU GET NOTHING!" rant!

Hey that guy deleted his comment-- can you explain what he said please? Thanks!

"Show, don't tell" - Diablo 3's storytelling failures by dbcanuckin Diablo

When did potatoes become an adjective? Not complaining (I actually find it hilarious), just asking.

[–]RationalArgumentMan 16 points17 points ago

"Something something you're arrogance, something something arrogance."

I couldn't believe they actually made Azmodan use the word "arrogance" in two consecutive sentences-- it sounded so cheesy. Something like "arrogance will get you nowhere" and "your arrogance will cause you failure" (probably way off, but it was something along those lines.

Senor Chang's armor? (Community referenced Unique) by RationalArgumentManin Diablo

Hah! Well I'm in Nightmare (Act 3) and this is my first legendary drop after getting nothing but garbage rares/magics. Best of luck though!

Timmys First Time Out. by SantaKlousein funny

[–]RationalArgumentMan 0 points1 point ago

Just out of curiosity, why wouldn't you just introduce yourself as "Tim"? I imagine after you're say, 11, being called "Timmy" seems a little out of place.

[s]Diablo III - Hardcore Mode - Wold First Diablo Kill on Hell - YouTube by Joypadgamerin Diablo

Fuck yeah Barbarian-- I knew it could be done!

Also, yes yes-- we know "World's" is misspelled. Let's not have more than one comment pointing that out.

[PC] My dream hat-- Unusual Braniac Hairpiece with Orbiting Planets by RationalArgumentManin tf2trade

[–]RationalArgumentMan[S] -1 points0 points ago

Oh man, I'd do anything to have that! But I'll be honest, I don't believe I have enough to afford that. My profile is private but I've added your account so you can take a look at my inventory, but unfortunately I really don't think I have anything you'd be interested in.

On a side note, have you tried Diablo 3? I have a guest pass if you'd like (not for the hat of course, but just as a thanks for offering to sell your hat). It's quite fun.

Let's discuss about Barbarians! by EruLawlietin Diablo

[–]RationalArgumentMan 1 point2 points ago

The Auction House makes a "Blizzard Approved" version of buying equipment with cash, which poses several valid problems. I don't mean to pull the "well back in D2" card, but I will mention that back then your account could be banned if you paid real money for items from one of those item websites. Gold can now be accumulated by working hard, or just having a CC and buying it.

Also, you know what bothers me the most about it? This might sound really lame, but I'll be honest-- you can't expect kids let's say 12-17 to be able to buy gold because they won't have credit cards/money to spend freely on it. You can say "well they aren't old enough to play it", but I guarantee you the vast majority of people on this subreddit were 12-17 when they were playing Diablo 2 and having a blast with a fairer trade system.

Either way, I will say I'm very happy this subreddit allows so many discussions without a /r/gaming-esque immediate downvote pattern. I would go so far as to say this is better than /r/tf2 because there are no stupid screenshots all the time.

Is there a list of abbreviations used for D3 terms? I'm really finding all the short forms/slang confusing... by RationalArgumentManin Diablo

[–]RationalArgumentMan[S] 0 points1 point ago

Ahh excellent, thank you very much! I played Diablo 2 for years, but there's a surprising amount of new terms that I've yet to figure out.

Also, with the introduction of Auction House and the destruction of good ol' player to player trading... I'm almost going to miss the "wug" (what you got) conversations with other players.
