Actually, Trini, I think you're barking up the wrong tree. You should be on D3's forums asking them to add the good features of PoE. Since that game is closer to your idea of perfection, they would have less to do to win your undying adoration.

I do like how OP will occasionally slide in that he thinks PoE is beautiful to some degree to the genre and then goes on all these threads calling for it to become D3.

Chris said it not me, half the people who play this game quit. I am pointing out why.

Please can anyone tell me what this game has to do with D3 again? I don't see a point mentioning arcade games as examples compared to poe.

I am trying to assist Chris in understanding why he does not understand why 50% of people quit POE

If you walked barefooted through a huge latrine and at the end of the latrine tunnel you met a pile of gold where you wanted to find a rare diamond, would you want to walk through an even bigger latrine 2 times again just to reach the gold where you then had to spend a year or a lifetime searching for your diamond?

If you were trying to assist Chris, you would show him that 50% of D3 players didn't quit. So where's that stat?

Dude your statistics are FLAWED.

D3 may have sold more boxed copies then D2, but you have to remember D2 was back in an era where people would just grab a copy of someone elses game and use their keys, it didn't require you to play on battle.net and authenticate your key.


Also compare it to PoE, a game that doesn't charge anything to play, you can't exactly say, without sounding like a dumbass, that D3 sold more copies then PoE, well no fucking shit it has because PoE is FREE TO PLAY.


The distribution of PC games has greatly changed since D2 was "in its prime"


Lets take a look at a more reputable source of information, that actually has to supply sources.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_PC_games

Number 1 is minecraft, while I personally own this game I played it for about 20 min before realizing that I wasn't going to have fun with it.

Number 2 is WoW, a game I tried for 5 min before realizing I just wasted so much time downloading an MMORPG game. This game obviously was successful and is often referred to as the standard that MMO's should strive to be, although many people are starting to like the older patches more then the new "easier ones"

Number 3 is Terraria, its essentially a 2d minecraft, I own and played this game quite a lot. Its fun, without being overly grindy. Although I havent touched it in at least a year or so.

Number 4 is your D3, sits at or just below the same as above. This is an obvious indication that 2 things happened, 1 people wanted to play a successor to D2, so no matter how you feel about the game design of D2, D3 wouldn't have been as successful as it was without people wanting (and not receiving) the continuation of the Diablo franchise. Because of this A LOT of people preordered or purchased right at or before the start, myself included. However it failed to deliver what D2 players wanted and it was plagued by issues like shitty itemization (mainly due to scaling mechanics) and the fact that you would just grab something off the AH instead of try to find anything yourself.

The redeeming factor for D3 was RoS, while not what D2 fans would likely want, it caters itself to more of the casual crowd and adds interesting things and makes the feeling of legendary feel good, even if just a short realization that legendary in D3 are like rare items in PoE, you almost always use them and only use something else if your build needs it. So they sold even more copies of D3 with this expansion because it "promised" to change the game (essentially allowing people to play differently then before)


Number 5 is essentially just a couple games together, like half-life 2 and counter-strike (aka orange box)

Number 6, the Sims, this whole series as a whole is more then any other game.

Go down a few more things and you see D2 sitting at 4 million copies, thats 1\3 of the copies listed for D3, considering what I said above about connection\authentication thats actually pretty significant, like it was stupid ez to just use a copied key if you never played online, I know back then I didn't play online it wasn't until about 2 years ago I even purchased a legitimate copy.


You would have to be an absolute fool to think D3 is the greatest game of all time or that D2 was a failure (hint if d2 was a failure they wouldnt have made a 3rd)

In his ass like all of the rest of his stats. You know hes just pulling this shit out of his ass, he can't even use a more reputable source to "prove" his point, hes obsessed with that site for some reason. (at this point I think its just advertising but idk)

Let me ask you this, why would D3 sold based off D2 when D3 looked and played nothing like D2? but everything like WoW which also happens to be right next to D3 in global sales?

Do you see now whats wrong with the whole D3 sold because of D2 argument? D3 sold because it looked and played like WoW. We all know this to be true, come on.

Also I reported you for using obscene language.
