    They are not banned by Blizzard, so no exploiting here.

    Most people dont usualy kill all mobs on map anyway.

    they're pro's doing it for the world firsts, not the items.

    Hence the playing leapfrog with corpse banners.

    A player only needs one set of uber items per account to pass between characters. Any excess can be sold. Furthermore, once someone has all their characters at max level it can be presumed that they would sell their uber low level items as soon as they won't need them anymore. Production of new items may be low, but there is zero consumption (items are recycled) and a great very low amount of people who need the items at any given time.

    They skip mobs for exactly same reason most of people skip mobs in D2 and many other games: to get to boss faster.

    And what's the difference? Even in D2 SP played like an MMO-lite and exactly the same as MP - death as slap on the wrist, lack of persistency, repeatedly raiding prime fucking evils for phat lewt.

    Because a huge bunch of retards bought this game and are as happy with their decision as only retards can be.

    And this includes quite a few "prestigious" codexers in this very thread.

    How about not supporting such practices?

    Because, yes, if you gobble this shit and pay for it, no matter how much they tighten the screws, then there is indeed not much that can be done about that by just whining.

    Enjoy the fucking future you helped to bring, at least I keep my right to bitch about it without throwing my integrity outside the window.

    Never really stopped D1 and D2 from being huge financial successes.

    :bro:

    Well, Skyrim, for all it sins and inexcusable mechanical dumbing down, is a vast incline over Oblivious (which was literally painful to play due to sheer stupidity pouring from the screen), and a game that champions sandbox with random events gameplay as opposed to storyfag cutscene rollercoaster (even though dungeons are mostly linear).

    And it doesn't require you to be online for an SP game.

    His IQ dropped when playing Morrowind, you'll have to excuse him.

    Wouldn't progressing in the game be more appealing to most people, than just getting the means to do that (items)? Isn't beating challenges when underleveled more rewarding anyway...

    I really don't get the mindset a lot of people have over the game - as if getting gear is the ultimate reward and somehow worth paying for or striving for as the end goal. When there's even no PvP to use them in.

    Still in Act1. LOL @ what happens after you get that third piece of the sword and head back to Tristram. How undignified. It was almost Toddworthy.

    There is Hardcore mode, at least there certainly are achievements for it. Not sure if you can get it from the get-go or after 1st playthrough, can check once I'm home.

    Got to Act 3, shit's finally getting real, getting my resist/survivals-free Barbarian two-shot by some mobs a lot if I don't pay attention.

    Could be that. After all, Int users automatically get resistances through said Int, and voodoo dude gets pets (I think?) and is generally meant to be played as ranged.

    Boy, spamming frozen orb pre 1.10 and blizzard post 1.10 sure required some skill!
    Honestly, bro, one of us is actually playing the game, the other one is watching streams and looking at writing and art direction. In a hack and slash. Take a hint.
    So? Where did I say that inferno will be unbeatable or that it should be? Oh, right, it's you, whisper. Carry on with your 4chan tier trolling.

    I like it more than Diablo 2 for it's more streamlined: they took away all the tedious and only left the delicious crack/heroin components. It's to Diablo 2 what Cataclysm was to Burning Crusade: at the same time more simple (less geeky theorycrafting) but retaining some kind of complexity. I think that in the future Blizzard will streamline its games more and more until they only play on the core mechanic of addiction and border abstraction. In that sense, in all of its MMO glory (AH auctions, MP finder, teenscape drone chat channels, social network lite, e-penis), Diablo 3 HAD to be played online even if soloeing. Seems to make perfect sense to me.
    And yes, it is the future (and I enjoy it). And no, it doesn't disturb me as long as Wasteland 2 is being made on another model entirely.

    couple of days after release of diablo 3, do i regret not getting it at release with all the others? nope, not regretting it at all. considering i didn't think it looked very interesting in the first place, i don't think i've missed anything.
