d3 whining also is forever funny

quote:

Is Diablo 3 a solo play game with a multiplay add on or is it a primary multiplay game with the option to play solo.

If it is the former then whats with the huge divide created in what a Solo player has to sacarfice to the efficiency of multiplay. Or in other words why are there not Solo play buffs to even out things like gold drop rate now the evil of the AH has gone.

From what I can see there is a huge divide occurring here with the Solo player being punished for their choices.

Does the Solo player have any among the MVP's to push our cause and stress that while lots of improvements have happened to rectify the removal of the AH, all the gold sinks are balanced on Multiplay as well as what seems like 90% of the in game buffs.

Maybe a Blue should comment on this and where the game is likely to go now with the soon to be launched Ladder system. As it stands Solo players will be unable to compete and you will just see elitists and bots at the top of the ladder.

it really is astounding how bad blizzard has gotten at making games. i wonder what happened at that company that they started doing all this pandering/esports bullshit. my guess is that someone made the start looking at focus group studies and market analysis, no idea who it could be though

hearthstone is still a fun casual game and i hear they fixed up diablo p nicely, but wow starcraft 2 is just so, so bad. it has a lot of problems but my personal favorite is the idea of a macro mechanic, which they literally added as drudgery you half to do to sink your apm into instead of, yknow, letting you use your apm for important or creative things

you can trade rares and legendaries with other players provided they were in the game session when the item dropped. even then you have a timer (i think 2 hours?) before you can no longer give it to those players as well.

if you want gear you have to play to get it basically.

its a TERRIBLE restriction that shouldnt be in place. in d2, you werent always counting on lucking out and finding a perfect item, but you could count on lucking out and finding some OK items that you could trade, and nobody had an issue with that. farming and duping was poo poo but youd think they would have finally hired enough competents to stop it from becoming a new thing.

the other thing they totally loving blew was making it a flat chance for everything to drop anything instead of giving much more weight for certain items to certain bosses. i know they didnt want to make it so that people just did the same route over and over but it makes it extremely frustrating to gear up
