You are extremely rude and condescending towards everyone, who is not on your level, yet when the tiniest of injustices happen to you (ie. making up a quote that reflects perfectly on how you behave, but you did not actually type out out word by word that way, so only 87% of it is true) you act out some Shakespearean death scene.

no, you missed the point. you JUST criticized me for ____ while you did the same exact thing.

it was blatant hypocrisy.

ffs, you insulted me how many times? you're doing it (hypocrisy) STILL.

sorry for telling you facts about the game mechanics and getting called a liar in return. sorry for finding it hilarious. sorry for clearing your map, the 3 incursions in it, the 4 exiles, and the syndicate.

If you really want to help, then you suggest a comfortable EHP number

wow.

after allllll of this, you still don't get it.

there is no magic ehp number. there's ehp AND there's defense. it's not like they work together, or something.

how do you think i cleared that t15 syndicate with less ehp than you had?

It is none of my business if people want to act toxic and obnoxious on an internet forum,

you mean like repeatedly calling people trolls/liars for being able to play the game and having the audacity to tell people how to improve their builds?

for making up strawman after strawman, for pages?

ffs. you of all people should have had a certain realization.

amazing.

i backed up every single thing. and yet... NOPE, I'M STILL JUST A TROLL. hahahaha

it's like i was the one namecalling repeatedly, or something. oh, right. not once.



first, i'm just a big liar and a troll and i can't kill syndicates and i can't even get to red maps. then i even take up someone on his challenge and prove it. then... nope, now i'm just a "troll" and "toxic" and "extremely immature."

...what are you guys, then?

My only real complaint about the mechanic is on some maps the fortification layouts are absolutely horrid to navigate around, with stuff completely obfuscating the area and making it difficult to see what is going on. The rest are ok.

Kind of mixed on the issue. NPC's with "Cannot miss" mechanics combined with "cannot be frozen" etc. with single hits which must surpass 10k physical on t10+ maps kinda breaks the game for many builds.

The only way I can kill syndicate above T12 is by permanent blind but some members have "cannot miss" so its hit and miss if I get one shot or not. The assignation would be ok if 3-4 members didn't spawn in your face and do completely untankable spike damage in 0.2 seconds.

People who like to play certain builds or have 100000 hours in the game may have no problems but I assume for a majority it is almost unbearable to level.

I have no issue with difficulty but there needs to be a way of countering said difficulty. No, I don't mean play "meta build A" because the build maybe unappealing, I mean allow 50% of the syndicate to be frozen or lower their accuracy ALOT if their homing "cannot be avoided" spikey floor 1.6M dps skill needs to stay. In fact I want that skill :).

i think the damage numbers only get pretty insane when people rank up the syndicate and play with dmg map mods.

'slams' aside, at least.

Well, game should have some difficulty "by default". You can't manage the default...

Yes. And game developers' job is to introduce it properly. GGG failed to do so.

What you mean?
Big effects! Big Danger! Stay away!

Whenever i see the Haku or whoever that is with the MASSIVE hammer swinging over half o the screen with circle on the ground, i get the fck out of there immediately
I have bts bigger problems with the walk through traps from the C character, i want to walk to talk with the syndicate and pop pop pop and my ES is gone.

you know the BIGGER indicators somehow indicate the yet weakest special attacks of anything in any league?
why is everyone having problems with fucking HAKU?! (sry just irritates me)

Look, I don't give a single damn about the original Diablo 3, it has nothing to do with this discussion. If the expansion was a success Blizzard would have continued making more, it is as simple a that. You yourself said it reinvigorated the game, meaning players came back and started playing again. If that was the case, if they were on the right track, they would have continued.

They didn't. The plan for a second expansion was scrapped. It was not profitable to keep investing into Diablo 3 meaning RoS didn't perform as expected. Its as simple as that.

1. the second expansion was scrapped before the first was released
2. The first expansion sold 6 Million units. This is not a success to Blizzard, but it fucking dwarfs PoE.

Well, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and talks like a duck...

If you don't like the reputation you've earned for yourself, consider trying to reform yourself.

and all it takes for one to earn that rep is to disagree with popular opinion/hysteria and be correct in their own analysis... and even prove it?

seriously. i love that somehow, despite all of this, you (collectively) STILL make me out to be the one in the wrong.

those who made false accusations (liar, troll, etc)... that were already proven to be false accusations...

keep throwing stones and seeing ducks whenever it's convenient.
