I just realized I would rather see better loot than have desync fixed.
Something that tracks the %'s of your defense values or preferred weapon types vs how you kill things.


I guess desync just doesn't bother me anymore.

I think we should have a poll for wether they should dump their current graphics engine and start pretty much from scratch with a more efficient one, even if it means no major new contents for a couple of years. Since their goal is 10 acts I'm guessing they've planned to have the game going for 10+ years and it just feels like it's in their best interest to change engine.
From what I've read from dev comments a new engine would not only make it easier for the players GPU, but it would also make it much easier for the devs to create new content.

You could still have leagues with some minor changes to them and I'm guessing the devs that work with balance aren't the same that works the engine.
If they still insist on new content, make the league 6 months instead and reduce the amount of new content(did we really need 60+ new bosses? =P)so you get more time to work on a new engine.

I genuinely enjoy playing it now. I've put about 20x paragon levels in and 2x level 70s now. What I love is their end game mode... it's similar in a lot of ways to mapping however there's no gated RNG attached... no need to worry about more maps dropping. You can slide the difficulty up and down which is fantastic. Some nights when I have the time, I slide that bar up to crazy hard - die some - work my ass off - get that adrenalin rush... other nights when I can only play 30mins to an hour I'll set it low and still get myself some XP and some rift keys.

Actually getting cool drops - cool legendaries that are ALWAYS your level? Priceless feeling. Do I worry about saturation? Naw because I can always change the legend into a mat and make a new legend or reroll existing ones... I can see this lasting for quite a long period of time for me anyway.

I think their BEST ASSET was actually LISTENING to their players feedback - but not just listening - ACTIONING something... going out on a fucking limb and changing the game up - doing it for the betterment of the game.

I see GGG just sitting there bleeding off players and the arrogance is astounding coming from an Indie company. They aren't really in the position to just scoff at such a large amount of players the way they currently do.

Like really - would it KILL THE GAME to have a league in place that has good drop rates and crafting? No - it wouldn't. But it's arrogance that is keeping them from doing that - from lengthening the longevity of the game through casual players... pure arrogance and attitude. Not smart business at all. I look forward to seeing what happens in the next year or two here. The drama is what keeps me posting.

*Maple Whiskey is smooth.

Oh trust me I have cyclone and leap slam and whirling blades, all those goodies.
Though still; on top of it all.. I would rather see more intuitive drops.

(To me, Diablo is a console game, albeit a smooth console game *xbox)

<3 maple whiskey!


Yeah it is more light hearted... consol like... but it's also really fun. I see myself playing it for some time. I don't think it's as short-lived as some people may think... because all legendary/unique drops you can disenchant them into craftable items - and reforge your gear etc... I see it being more "replayable" than POE.

Another amazing feature I find that in leveling a new character right now I can choose random questing in random locations... vs the story mode. Wearas POE I have absolutely no choice in how I want to level. It's the same fucking thing every single character I ever leveled. I even had a file where I outlined (my own research) the exact levels and zones I should go to... to powerlevel my characters as fast as possible... albeit the exact same zones time and time and time again...

The flexibility for leveling is awesome in D3 now.

So many bad ass things went on in D3... GGG needs to wake up.

They're wide awake, implementation takes time and resources.
When the game runs for 10 years, it will be a completely different beast by the end of its day.
No where near the end it's time.
