" Because when we donated we donated for the cause, not for the goodies. We donated for what GGG stands for. And I can agree some are quite upset. I'm not THAT upset because it's still just a game and I don't care about it as much as others. It's still sad to see what it should have become and what it's developing into. CliveHowlitzer wrote:

" All these CB'ers QQ'ing "oh the game hasn't turned out how they said it would"...WTF are you even talking about? Be specific because all I see is a game that has fleshed out it's bare bones CB state with all the regular tropes you would expect to see in the genre i.e. shrines, lock boxes, mob affixes, side zones, crafting, ect ect. What the fuck were you guys expecting? You talk about CB like it was some holy land but it was fucking weak compared to what we have today...like 3 viable builds (GS, FP, SA) and barely any content to actually play, the game was boring as shit, the only thing it showed was potential. So puh-lease, take off the rose tinted spectacles and actually remember what this game was really like 2years ago. |

" Hell, at least it was real. I think of CB as "the time before time, when you played a caster on natural ES regen and chaos wasn't an element". Wish the armchair developers would go back to developing armchairs.

" Huh, funny because it was actually just a time when you stacked crit multi and cast speed in the tree and spammed 100% crit diamond flasks like cptn. cheese. |

" CB only had to deal with zombies, rhoas, bandits, and.....crabs. There was no mobs that went ballistic on you like these leaping frogs and devourers are today. Hell, act 3 mobs paved the trend for craziness. Sometimes you can take the game out of the garage but you can't take the garage out of the game.

CB was special for many reasons. Not all of them good. The community was tighter and trying to help the game improve. You could post a suggestion and even if it was completely dismissed, they explained politely why it should be dismissed.
It was also a breath of fresh air for those of us waiting for D3 after playing D2 for years and years. I didn't mid the short instances, the monsters spamming their attacks like machine guns, and having to go through Ruthless. In many ways the game has improved, but not for everyone. Traders, party players, bow and casters have seen the game get very easy, but balanced it is not. And that leads to frustration. I loved my Face Breaker, but when 3x came out, I couldn't play it anymore. The can't miss lighting arc attacks killing me from off screen even with max resist. 3x also came with mostly cold attacks. Why? Because with cold attacks the enemy slows you down and that makes it more HARDCORE. In a game that speed kills, they artificially created roadblocks to slow us down. In D2 there were plenty of gear that you could find to prevent yourself from being frozen, but not in PoE. Mana is not equal either. Look at the Maurader side of the tree and see how much added, regen and steal there is. Yet once you get up to five and six linked items, your need for mana is just as great as the other builds. That means mana flasks, but you need life too due to melee taking the full force of armor only protecting against physical. So no room for specialized flasks that everyone tells me will solve all my problems whenever I complain about something being unbalanced. I hope Act 4 fixes many issues, but I won't hold my breath. Personally I would love to see Ruthless brought back with a slower level progression, but better optimized gear. Its not going to happen. Last word: Back to the original argument, starving GGG isn't the answer to get them to move on to the next project. It could kill the company though. |
