You do realize that what you are saying is completely irrelevant to the fact that zerging is happening, and the death mechanic (which is there to stop zerging) isn't happening, and changing the portal mechanis is not going to fix this? You wen't from denying zerging hapenning, in the first place, to then accepting that zerging happens, to (now) claiming that zerging is retarded. Well no shit its retarded, Zerging is always retarded, thats why game developers try to prevent zerging and thats why death penalties exist in the first place " iamstryker wrote: Your also wasting a lot of time sucking at the game because you could be leveling at the same time. Yeah but the point is, there isn't a net loss in time, because you level much faster in those areas because of how much more mechanically easier they are (and because you have a much lower chance of dying). So you may lose some time due to zerging through harder content, but you level a lot faster in these areas which are mechanically incredibly easy. You level much faster in a place like fellshrine because the mobs are ridiculously easy to kill, and you don't have to be that careful, which nets in very little downtime (those areas also have very handy paths). Why do you think speed runs basically involve skipping the content and only leveling these such areas? It sounds like you have something against grinding in these kinds of games as well. Anyway you have said that many of my points are irrelevant so I am inclined to just agree to disagree. This is getting boring. Have fun enjoying (or not enjoying) the game.

" iamstryker wrote: It sounds like you have something against grinding in these kinds of games as well. Not really, I was just stating what is hapenning lol. People safe farm in areas like fellshrine, and they zerg through harder difficulties, according to the definition of zerging. You are sidetracking the whole topic now " iamstryker wrote: Anyway you have said that many of my points are irrelevant so I am inclined to just agree to disagree. This is getting boring. Have fun enjoying (or not enjoying) the game. There irrelevant because you dwell on the trivialities of zerging, while dismissing (or ignoring or w/e else) the fact that zerging in the game exists and how harsh it is. You have admitted that its there, and its retarded, so what are you even arguing about The point I am making is the current exp death mechanic is stupid, and its actually encouring/giving the mindset for people to zerg rather than preventing it (in the manner I described). The death penalty is so massive in merciless that a lot of people simply either skip or zerg through content where they see any risk, or of course risk death, which goes back to the original complaint of this thread People would be a lot less inclined to skip/zerg through content if the death penalty wasn't so massive (note that this doesn't mean non existent) Last edited by deteego#6606 on Mar 26, 2013, 1:18:14 PM	Posted by deteego#6606 on Mar 26, 2013, 1:15:38 PM Quote this Post

D3 had other obvious glaring issues, like lack of character achievement due to how they designed their classes, but as I said before, the biggest difference is Blizzard has acknowledged (and even apologized) for these issues Havn't seen anything like that from GGG at all Last edited by deteego#6606 on Mar 26, 2013, 1:24:25 PM	Posted by deteego#6606 on Mar 26, 2013, 1:23:47 PM Quote this Post

I died twice yesterday due to desync's or other BS deaths that aren't my fault. Losing hours upon hours of play. It seems after I level up, I start getting more BS deaths than ever. It's just something that I notice personally. Like I was in a map group yesterday. Everything was going fine, no lag, FPS was fine. Then all of the sudden. BAM, my screen froze right as I entered battle. The client goes to not responding mode and I log back in to see that I lost all of my XP. That's just BS man. Not to mention the desync's.

Its very simple. We don't agree that its a problem. There, done. Move along. I'm no longer going to argue with someone when we disagree on so many things. Its pointless. Argue with someone else.

Sorry, but from here on in, your opinion is suspect. Actually the best weapons came from Wirt and were insanely expensive. Grandfather was NEVER considered the best sword. The best sword was always Kings Bastard Sword of Haste, variations of this were always the best sword. There were relatively few very useful unique items in the game in fact. Royal Circlet, Thinking Cap, Dreamflange, Windforce... can't really think of any other uniques I used often in D1 at late game. FYI I have D1 on my computer setup to run on Win 7 with no graphical issues and I have converted it to work over my LAN. So yeah, I have played it recently. Not sure where you get the idea that grandfather was ever considered the best sword... maybe you just didn't actually know anything about the game? All the best armor and weapons came from Wirt. Godly plate of the Whale couldn't even drop in the dungeon, only available from Wirt when very lucky. If you want I can refer you to Jarulf's Guide... might learn a thing or two about D1.
