Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that all blizzard did was increase the numbers a bit in D3 The items compared to the monsters health stayed generally the same. And am I the only one that thinks that a “crusader” is a terrible idea for a character. Glorified Templar how original – not. They would have done better to bring back some old favorites. Oh well. I am looking forward to the awesome stuff in PoE. It seems to me that you can tell which game is over produced. D3 seems to have too many george lucas types that focus too much on money and not on content. PoE/GGG really seems to have their eye on the ball.

Kormac the Templar has a line "How could you succumb to this Coven?" It really should be addressed to Blizz and say "How could you succumb to this Jay Wilson?"

Jay wilson just followed orders. You can see from the content in the expansion that the devs got no saying in the game design. I dont understand the hate for Jay Wilson. He did the best anyone could within the perimeters from the suits of the blizzard HQ. Remember Blizzard right now is not about games any-more is about money

OMG! Have you forgotten the past and are condemned to repeat it? While it is likely true that J.W. was following corporate (aka "suits") orders and why the D3 dev. talent demise and closing of Blizzard North in D3 early development, he, J.W., was guilty of publicly swearing at D3 players during the height of the flame wars in the summer of 2012. Even if his hands were tied/chained by the suits and wasn't given any latitude to fix a raftload of problems in D3 he had no business swearing to D3 players in defense of his position and showed the world his poor leadership skills. I for one was glad to see him get axed as lead developer finally. Way too late as I and millions of other D3 players had already permanently quit and I sailed away on the PoE ship... err... was caught for crimes, found guilty (it was a time of guilty until proven innocent), and exiled to Wraeclast.

PoE drop rates suck? are u sure?
i got these 2 self-found by myself just the past few days

This post made me giggle. It's like someone who has won the lottery posting a pic of his lottery ticket and saying look how easy it is to win at the lottery.

Nope,they trade,it's just that simple.

They trade for things they use to find other things then claim they are self found and drop rates/rarity is great.

They are just doing what GGG designed the game for.Trading.

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

Seriously, ros looks like the same crap as d3, bigger numbers, some OP uniques, and the same boring gameplay with zero effort that is the core of diablo 3.

After d3 iv learned my lesson, i will be damned if i buy another blizzard crapfest.

*sneakily uses 2000 fusings for a 4L when nobodies looking*

The problem with D3 is unfortunately not uncommon in games today. We call it catering to casuals, but to be more specific it is about games that are designed to never beat or harshly punish the player. Additionally, the mechanics are dumbed down to limit choice so poor ones can't be made, content is made linear to ensure players are on track, and players are showered with rewards all so that the experience is standardized and overly positive... overly being the keyword.

A dumbed down challenge-less game that over rewards has little hope of longevity with its player base. It is a failure to understand the psychological principle of having a carrot on a stick for players to chase after.

I love you.

I think they drops are fine. I have probobly looted 10-15 exalted, i get strecthes where ill loot a couple a week and go a couple weeks without. Although there are things that suck. I used well over 5000 fusings and have only 6L once, never got a unique from a chance orb, never had an end game item drop, meaning soultaker, shav, koams, the high end items, map drop rates have been badly nerfed although a patch said it would get better and lunaris runs being dropped 2 lvls seriously hurt any leveling u might want there, from 700k a run to around 175k a run. Poe I think is the best thing out there right now, if they would just listen to the community and communicate and fix the little problems instead of ramming things down your throat to buy and make money I would be a serious supporter.
