you can, however, get maximum hosed because you hit a wall where you need a very specific piece of equipment to get any better and if that one item doesn't drop, you won't be able to press on

my experience is that wall only exists for massive spergs who want to play the game on quadruple purgatory or whatever and expect to play roughly 10k hours of the same game and complain about it the entire time.

it depends, when the last ladder began one of the guys in my clan got super lucky with drops in the first 2 days (basically completed his entire class set within 10 hours) so he advanced insanely fast, then he didn't find another upgrade for another week and quit. i reached the wall after about two weeks and quit as well. it's just boring as gently caress if you never get any better and you can't trade for items you need either

not slamming d3 because i got more than enough fun hours out of the game but it's just a bad system for a loot-em-up

as for seasons idk
since bnet20 got denied from lolsoles, they'd have create separate thing for season, all for 2.5 spergs who had it in them for grift but didn't get to a better platform

and yeah, most yoscrew bothered by the wall will never reach it

they can't play together because microsoft/sony didn't want the always on drm on their consoles. as a result it's really easy to hack in items in the console version whereas it is virtually impossible in the pc version. letting the groups play together would gently caress the pc version too

as for seasons idk

that sounds pretty lame

if you have an account with one and have the game on multiple systems can you play on the same account?

i somehow wound up with ffxiv on ps4 and don't wanna roll a new guy

wouldn't d3 be really good for this then, since you can "respec" as much as you want at any time? it really isn't a spergy game like poe or whatever.

that would make things worse as my builds would get progressively clownier. in payday 2 its super cool because almost any weapon is viable so you arent locked into one or two weapons so you can make really silly looking weapons

it's basically under-outside umbrella
war thunder/diablo 3 have been developed for pc and thus their ports are castrated
ff is opposite so it's okay since sony stuff is being integrated elsewhere, not sony has to integrate something
i wonder how will it end up for sony's own game, planetside 2 - will the port be similarly cut or no
no - fail because pc gamers will destroy consolers, yes - :ironicat: and maybe fail because of userbase

well theres a difference between shootsmen and rpgs, there isnt a really good reason for d3 to not be cross platform, they were aiming for always online anyway so why not go all the way and force your character to authenticate online
it doesnt matter since i have no horse in the race im good on diablo but it seems like a petty cop out

basically microsoft and sony wanted you to be able to play d3 offline. portal on ps3 was ok because you could play it offline. blizzard made the decision to decouple the console and pc versions of d3 to maintain their always on requirement for the PC version

I love drm

i just got an email an hour ago from a stats package company, apparently i have to install their things for a stats class this semester

the email contained a username and password and license key

so i had to go to their website, log on, download the software

the software generated a text file that i had to fish out of /users/gauss/hostid.txt

then i had to fill out a form on their website, copy-pasting the contents of that text file and including my license key

and now i have to way 24-48 hours for them to generate a license file that i can apply to my installation
