I'm balls deep into this news (like 3 inches) which is no laughing matter...LOL
Is it the shit drops at low levels that encourage the use of the auction house and grinding characters enough to farm high-level content?
Yes it is, Bionic Barry, yes it is.
Plaything through the game once was fun. Playing it a few more times with other characters was fun. When I got to Hell difficulty I lost interest quickly. There was little in the way of new challenges, the monsters just got more difficult and occasionally rolled impossible-to-beat abilities, forcing me to quit.
It'll take additions more like those in D1:Hellfire or D2:LoD to get me excited about D3 again. Otherwise it's just more grinding.
1.Will you get MORE QUANTITIES OF GOLD ?
2.More constant Gold drop?
3.BETTER ITEM/WEAPON QUALITY instead of BEEEEEEP'ING CRAP?!?!
somebody answer me please...i think they mentioned that "players are frustated by not getting good weapons and gold quantity for repairs"..that might be a hint for better gold quantity drop?..
In one of the previous 1.0.4 posts they stated that items with lower item levels will be able to get higher rolls. Long story short, you will still have loot garbage, but there will be less "I know this item is shit" before you even identify it.
This is great change, and unexpected at that. I don't put a great deal of effort into my DH, so the item hunt is still entertaining to me. This just sweetens the pot.
There are people still playing Diablo 3?
I don't think gold quantities are changing. Someone with Paragon Lv.100 will have 300% passive GF without any gear though. But it will take months to get to 100...
@tekbunny:
Nothing is changing with stats. It sounds like Paragon levels will have static stat increases just like normal leveling from 1-60.
Looks like you're right, blizz still won't give you the option to customize your stats. Shame.
Honestly, I prefer this system much more. I've been able to experiment far more with builds than I ever could with D2. When I realized that a build wasn't viable in the endgame in D2, or worse, nefs RUINED my build, it was "Start again. Life -100 hours." D3 encourages exploration, and allows me to re-calibrate when Blizzard inevitably nerfs/buffs something.
Its actually surprising how unsurprised I am that people are so finished with this game only a few months later, when people played Diablo 2 for years after its release.. To me it just shows how much the industry (or at least Blizzard, maybe even just fans) has changed.
I can't find myself excited for this game unless they wipe every item, retool character stat design, and completely drop the exponentially increasing stat dependence for gear and damage. That won't happen, though.
Pardon my language; but Fuck You, Blizzard.
