I'm sad to be saying something like this but I think I've come to an end with my D3. I've done everything there is to possibly do in it, I don't know if I am fully happy with how this game has played out =(. I defended blizzard intensely when the game was released thinking they would surely add to the longevity of the game but, they just haven't delivered that in my eyes currently, and that is just inexcusable in my opinion. Perhaps a patch down the road will bring me back but for the time being, it's back to Dota2.

Golgoths, or whatever? Fat men with maces. Also fuck the lickers, I'm not looking forward to dealing with them at all
The Act 3 versions of Fallen Overlords 1shot me.
Yeah I really need to get more resistances and armor

My barb is just under 8000 armour, and a little over 500 on the lowest resist. Phys res is around 650. I should be okay but my HP is like 35k

I was on Ventrilo with two buddies of mine (that I know through World of Warcraft) and they were pretty pissed off at the launch time.
About a week after it launched, everyone seemed to like... warship this game, despite having obvious flaws in it.
I bought it last month and still don't get the huge appeal of playing through it 3 times to get to inferno.
Played it through with a friend of mine (level 1-60) as a tanking-type Monk. I recently stopped playing because it got boring - pretty much right after I dinged 60.
Playing it through, I don't get why the game was so popular. Mainly because beating the game three times through is slightly dumb if you ask me. Four if you wanna finish Inferno.

First three difficulties are basically just to get you familiar with the different types of mob behaviours I reckon; game's easy until Inferno
as far as KSGL games go, the mechanics in D3 are great. It's a bit deeper than just press buff/debuff/spell hotkey then click enemy

I'm playing melee/tank wizard now, and I'm having more fun with this than with the kiting playstyle.
The fps drops can be annoying though.

They could have done that with a one less difficulty or more content imo.awp wrote:

Maybe I'm just biased against the game though.
I find a lot of people are hyperbolically against the game. I don't know why. Blizzard forum users appear to be some of the most entitled people on the net.
Got to Ghom Inferno, but he's not currently possible with the gear I have. Better gear is unreasonably expensive, and I'm pretty unlucky when it comes to farming, so I'm not sure whether I'll keep up with it or not. I hear another patch is on the way but I don't know how that'll help.

I've never used the forums on Diablo 3.
There are a lot of things that bugs me about Diablo in general. I didn't like Diablo 2 and like... five people on my Steam friends list were all "Why aren't you getting Diablo 3 (when it launched)". I finally got it a couple of months ago and they all stopped playing except for one of my friends... shocking, I know.
I find Diablo 3 is unnecessarily unfair against melee ... a lot of mechanics screw up my Monk (several affixes). I was playing 1-60 with a friend and when I asked him how to find openings with certain situations, his reply, more often than not would be, "You don't" or "You let me do it". I play melee in just about every game I own (when it comes to fighting of any sort) and finding that Blizzard doesn't let melee do anything is 100% retarded. Ex: Ghom's gas is nearly impossible to approach so I'm stuck doing squat while my Demon Hunter friend does everything.
Yeah, I've heard a lot of people saying how Blizzard really dropped the ball on the Auction house - specifically, making it harder for botters to farm gold / gear, but effectively screwing up the "actual" Diablo 3 players.

Certain affixes just flat out fuck over melee. I started with a Barb, but switched to Wiz then DH before my barb ever hit 60. I still play the Barb a bit now because his armor and resistances are pretty rad but fire chains is just a game ender depending on the elite with the affix. Electric and Poison affixes aren't too bad though.
Oddly, I find Illusion to be a real show-stopper for barb. Maybe because my DPS is a paltry 18k.
I mostly (90% of the time) play the game solo though. Maybe that's what's up.

No kidding... >_>awp wrote:

I was dying on a pretty regular basis on Hell because I wouldn't be able to find away around some of them. Be it Arcane-ing me into a corner, or Plaguing everything around me. Electric I found wasn't bad. The two above usually were the ones killing me. Desecration the odd time - it'd kill me because there's a few seconds of delay before I'd be out of the ground effect, and the time I'd stop taking damage... Yay Blizzard servers... Illusion wasn't usually a problem, but then again, my friend just Elemental Arrow (ball lightning) them to death instantly.
Yeah, I don't like playing those games alone - I find it boring. Most anything I play on computer (save osu!) is multi-player (generally I play computer games with friends and my N3DS is if I wanna play something on my own).. Playing multi-player shouldn't deem the melee friends obsolete though.
Get enough LoH, like 2k+ and just Whirlwind and sprint tornadoes around them, your LoH will tick so many times that you won't even feel the Fire Chainsawp wrote:

LoH works with Whirlwind? Good to know. A handful of life-based abilities don't work with certain skills (eg rapid fire) which is fucking dumb
having said that I have an 800 LoH axe pretty cool beans

that elite looks pretty easy to me 
not sure how you're getting the HP numbers to display atop the monsters though, that looks useful
Just read the changes being made to 1.04. I'll probably start playing again after that, even if I can't kill Ghom (I can always skip him)

Elite demonic tremors (the yellow ones) are kind of bugged right now, they seem to have a hyper-fast affix by default. This video shows it perfectly http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suJRtRLt9xoawp wrote:

Anddd yeah, it seems like a lot of people are waiting for the 1.04 patch to come out. I just read about the buffed legendary weapons... kind of makes me sad they are giving them justice NOW 3 months after game release. Seems like its going to be like a re-launch. I imagine a lot of people are gonna be pissed off for buying all those 250$ legendaries now that they're gonna become obsolete.
I've noticed a large number of elite packs have really high move speed with or without the fast affix. I'd hope that was a bug, it's fucking obnoxious
I just downloaded the new patch, but can't login (maintenance).
Heres hoping there wont be any error 37 shenanigans later.

also depends on the monster, if the monster is already fast on itself the elites will ofcourse also be faster than slow mobs.awp wrote:

Yes. Now that the loots are better they essentially nerfed Inferno again. Something tells me I should keep my DPS at 70k and try to improve my resistances... otherwise it MIGHT get boring.Justykanna wrote:

Smoke Screen is STILL the only/best way to counter jailer. Whyyyyyyyy!?
I hit level 60 and quit immediately because the game was so friggin boring...awp wrote:

It's just a slap in the face to the people that actually enjoyed the game and beat Inferno pre-nerf.
Though I don't think the affixes needed that hard of a nerf. Me thinks the little kiddies who can't play the game were complaining to the point that Blizzard gave them what they wanted.
Seems like they made it so they gave each class one spell to counter everything. The limited moveset sorta proves that imo.Purlpo wrote:

I still haven't beaten inferno yet but they nerfed Ghom so maybe I can get past him now
the last patch (1.03b I think) completely broke him

i decided to play for a bit again, but after 2 quests in act 2 i got bored and closed the game
too sad only got a starter edition

The whole game is broken based on what I've heard. Had a friend rambling how easy Diablo 3 is after the previous nerf (not the one from yesterday).awp wrote:

I was choosing between Diablo 3 and another game. Since everyone played Diablo 3 and said how amazing it was, I got that about a month after launch. About a week after I bought it, only one out of the four or five people that bought it, bothered playing it with me. I'm really grateful to them for telling me how amazing it was, then telling me how boring it was right about the time I got it. *sarcasm*. Wasted $60.Keksi wrote:

Such an overrated game in the end, imo. The amount of frustration I have for it is amazing...
Yeah I haven't figured out what everybody hates so much about the game. I fucking love it

I tested it a bit. Fire chains is much less of a FUCK YOU even to my DH, so my barb can probably tank itKeksi wrote:
Now the Paragon patch/level is there
anyone tested it ?
also I like that you can now see the AOE on AOE attacks
I hate it for two reasons:awp wrote:

1) Because it's so repetitive and you have to beat three difficulties before you beat the hardest settings.
2) They make it completely unfair to melee, which is the way I've rolled in just about any game I've played.
On a bit of a side point, I also got upset for spending $60 on the game while having at least four friends stop playing it as soon as I got it, when I bought the game to only play WITH people.
Paragon seems like a really good idea, gives more reasons for players to keep going. If I liked it more, I'd probably go at it.
Yeah, I always died to Fire Chains and Arcane Sentries. Both of which took a major nerf.awp wrote:

It's nice to be able to see anything in the mound of chaos that is the field sometimes... =/
yeah I thought Arcane Sentry was nerfed; I touched one yesterday and it only did 8k damage instead of like, 18k
so yeah Fire Chains is pretty nerfed; molten is still a bit dangerous for me but my Barbarian is just stomping through Act 2 now. Found a pretty good 1H sword (100STR, 967 DPS) and my skillset lets me blast through elite packs. Rend with Bloodlust is a godsend now.
My barbarian isn't even using auction-house gear, it's all shit I found, including a level 50-something helmet I found literally months ago

Yup, Arcane Sentries do ~30% less damage and are more spread and Fire Chains do 20% less damage.awp wrote:

Even for someone who doesn't like the game like me, I even think it was too much of a nerf. But that's just me, other hardcore players may disagree. Not sure if it's a good game for players looking for a challenge.
From what I heard, bots completely broke the Auction House because all the prices are stupidly inflated. Which is very disappointing.awp wrote:
Finally beat Diablo on Inferno, WITHOUT using the Auction House. Managed to defeat all of the bosses in Act 4 without dying. Then I went and bought a ring with ~60 AR and now I'm pretty well-geared.
Maybe the nerf was for the people that were sick of farming gold for stupid prices, I dunno.
