Who else won't even be TRYING d3
" Beside you will probably be doing the same thing in PoE, then read the FAQ from Blizzard: " So far they do not plan on posting items on AH. How can you be so sure then? And who cares who you buy the item from anyway? They release the game without pvp. Do you plan on going to pvp when you are lvl 10 anyway? This way you can actually get some awesome gear before trying to beat up players. Beside, Diablo 3 has never been focusing mainly on pvp. It is a PvE game with the option to do pvp. The game market going down since WoW, why is that a reason not to play Diablo 3? And is Call of Duty and Battlefield not some great games? I've never been playing them, but looking at the sales of them, peoples seems to enjoy them. Just because you do not, it do not mean they are not great games. Taste, you know? I actually played a few games from after 1999, that I find entertaining. Not my fault you don't like them. Oh, and when did Dota came out? Is that a sucky game aswell? Peoples seems to enjoy it, like they enjoy the other new MOBA games being spitting out. You need to understand, just because YOU don't like the game, it do not make it bad. |

Even before I found PoE I was planning to wait on Diablo 3, see what happened at release. I had console games, LIFE, more games, LIFE...all that. The Diablo itch described above was more like an amputation. I'd get phantom urges to scratch a limb that wasn't there anymore. I'd think about my access to the D3 Beta and realise it wasn't soothing even that illusionary need. Sad but true.
Now? I won't get it at all. I've said why more than sufficiently, acknowledging that D3 is going to be an amazing game. It's going to be spectacular. But it's not going to be the game long-time Diablo fans wanted. And in a way that's good. Can you seriously imagine Grinding Gear Games suddenly coping with 100,000+ players? or millions? While I wish PoE every success, I also firmly believe that it doesn't have to be a blockbuster to achieve this. Indeed, by the definition of 'blockbuster' these days, we should all be thankful it isn't so vacuous and superficial! What I haven't said elsewhere is that I was telling myself 'you're getting Guild Wars 2. That WILL be the game. You don't need Diablo 3.' And it worked. But Path of Exile will co-exist with Guild Wars 2. It won't be the game I play with my girlfriend, but Path of Exile will be MY game for when I need that urge scratched. It's like comfort food. Just...very addictive comfort food. :) If I like a game, it'll either be amazing later or awful forever. There's no in-between. I am Path of Exile's biggest whale. Period.

" Yeah.. The only reason is to try avoid piracy. Ofcourse... Read this link: http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/08/01/diablo-3-cannot-be-played-offline/ But ofcourse, Blizzard is just a bunch of lieing assholes. |

" Such trollings should be deleted of forum immo. Writing that items from auction house are being bought from blizzard employess is deep end of retardness... I understand that some people are haters, but at last use logical arguments when you post crap about other games. You don't buy the game, yeah bro go and manifest it trought whole internet ^^. Diablo 3 will be a bad game? Millions of people will prove you are wrong :) Blizzard never made bad game that's for sure. You may like WoW or not I didn't and I never played it but I also never said it's bad game. And diablo is something diffrent it's impossible to make bad game with such people inside your company man :). Blizzard isn't EA they don't make the same game every year with new name or number on it, they develop for years and polish and test the game itself 3 times longer than any other developer of that size. They change stuff and addjust it to market, make some stuff more easier for casuals but it's still diablo and still blizzard... And you can't say that game is gonna be bad just because 2 key guys left after diablo 2 to make torchlight which isn't dark fantasy at all. It's not like I'm fanboy even if I'm ^^ I just don't like when people troll something just because they lack of knowledge and they are ignorrant.

" The reason for "No Offline Play Available" could be "a dev's mother said they couldn't do it or there would be no pancakes on Saturday". i.e. it's irrelevant to me WHY it's there. Fact is: The honest customers will be paying for it. If you don't mind, no problem. But please don't say (I know you didn't, but it's easy to fall into that reasoning): "If it combats Piracy, I'll put up with ANYTHING". Blizzard could very well have developed other counter-measures that wouldn't have been as intrusive and likely to kill someone's fun of the game. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/09/22/how-diablo-iiis-drm-will-affect-you/ edit: God, that first reasoning in your article is priceless. "Yeah, well.. .suppose you started an offline character... and then you MIGHT want to play online with your friends... you would have to start fresh. You kjnow, we couldn't let our players suffer this kind of tragic loss. We just couldn't!" Tehe. 12/12/12 - the day Germany decided boys are not quite human.

" They are, however, no longer "Blizzard". As I said in another post: The studio that developed the first two Diablo games and LoD (Blizzard North) was closed years ago. Why? Among other things, because Activision wasn't happy with the way Diablo III was developing. They now are Activision Blizzard. And they have Bobby Kotick who is more Manager than gamer and firmly believes that trademarks that can't be marketed with a new iteration each year aren't worth the trouble. But, sure, taking out PvP two months prior to release really is just polishing. 12/12/12 - the day Germany decided boys are not quite human.

The slightly difference between GGG and Blizz is, that GGG hasn't disappointed me like 1000 times.
For those who say PoE is a copy, well, D2 and D3 are also just copies. Its a point of view. I can't play both, i don't have the time for it. So its a matter of likes/dislikes at the end. My final decision isn't made, not now. English is my third language, there will be bugs.

Wow was my first mmo, was disapointed with the dumbing down of the game so gave up. I haven't played d1 or 2 but wouldn't mind trying out d3 to see what all the fuss is about.

" LOL "In 1996, Blizzard acquired Condor Games, which had been working on the game Diablo for Blizzard at the time." No it wasn't blizzard It was condor :) It wasn't closed you tard at all it was just blizzard studio that worked on separate project. "Why? Among other things, because Activision wasn't happy with the way Diablo III was developing." Love such idiotic statements bro if you don't know it yet activision doesn't own blizzard, It's vivendi that owned blizzard before merging it with activision and actually have majority of shares of so called Activision-Blizzard. But trolls like you that actually know nothing and have most to say, think that activision owns blizzard and moreover they have something to say about how diablo 3 should be developed. If you don't know it yet both activision and blizzard have their studios separete and they work on diffrent projects without involving one into another in developing process... Above all that man Mike Morhaime who was co-founder of so called by you "Blizzard" and producer of diablo and diablo 2 is still president of blizzard entertainment. So get into your head again Activision have absolute 0 to say about diablo 3 develpoment or even marketing decisions that blizzard make on it. And yes it's still the same blizzard but they grown, now they not feed just 100.000 players but more than 10 milions. Whatever decisions they would make I'm sure that they can't satisfy they all.

" Please, read and educate yourself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blizzard_North I'll even quote a relevant passage for you: " Furthermore, I would suggest you keep your tone civil, thank you very much. perhaps then I'd take more than a cursory look at your posting. 12/12/12 - the day Germany decided boys are not quite human.
