d2 has more replayability i think

2.4 seems like the shit, but it's no surprise considering everything post RoS has been good. I regret we'll probably never get another proper expansion.

did you play d2? You see how many gold sellers/ ads about buying gear? Why would they implement trading again? The trading that d3 has right now makes sense. Go play d2 right now and within 5mins you will see spam about that shit.

As long as we have Chinese ppl, they will invent more builds. I mean the static charge build is pretty much straight out of d2 levels of creativity build wise

It really doesn't take that long to farm items in this game... at all.

It's like clockwork at this point. See you in another how ever many fucking months when you'll be making this thread again.
>>
>>315773074

Actually D3 has the opposite problem, with kanai cube and the bloodshard vendor, you can finalize your build rather fast. And then just spend polishing it.
>>
>>315773074
>ultrafucking rare
>>
>>315773121
>I think it's more the lack of unique/creative items.

Or more the fact that high difficulty levels have enemies with such stupid amounts of damage/hp that using the stupidly strong set bonuses is the only realistic way to kill those enemies. You have set bonuses giving tens of thousands of weapon damage % per second in damage so what fucking alternative you have against that?
>>
>>315773620

This. I can level a new character and have all the best set gear pieces in one day if I really wanted to.
>>
>>315770070
I think there will be another expansion, I think people would be even more outraged if they either released Diablo 4 so (relatively) soon after 3 or if there was no expansion for another like 5 years before D4 was released.

>>315773767
See, that's why I think that redo of that one ring set is going to be awesome, if it indeed makes it into the final patch.

Set items made normal legendaries weak by comparison because of damage. Now we may finally be able to build around normal legendaries again as long as we have that ring set. With all of the legendary powers, it would probably be even more powerful than equipping a full set. 8 or 9 times 800% is more damage than any set bonus, I think.

Great game design right there.
They've actually managed to make items worse then they were in the base game.
>>
I think the problem is that everyone just want to be super efficient which kills the creativity on these types of games. Also I'm pretty sure if d2 had timed runs and dungeons that guarantee loot the same thing would happen. Everyone in d2 started leaning towards certain builds and those are the builds you saw 90% when they introduced ubers. But yeah efficiency l, farming etc etc

i think the best thing right now is to just leave D3. its name was tarnished so badly that even though its a much improved game now, the bad launch has done its damage.

making D4 could be a fresh start and will get a lot more attention. and this time they can do the launch properly and maintain a good size player base from the start.

There is just nothing to work towards in D3.....yea I can get a lot of gold, so what? I can't really use it for anything. I can obtain a full set of the rarest of gear, who cares? I can't actual take it into battle against non AI opponents.

Sadly, it reminds me of Farmville, clicking on shit for the sake of clicking on shit, with no end purpose after the story line is complete.

Blood Golem + Iron Maiden was the snooziest build in the game by far.

well they added PVP and a mode where you can play without story cutscenes (all of which are auto-skippable with a menu option checked), you can choose to talk to NPCs to learn their stories if you want to and the atmosphere is still about cartoon superheroes teleporting around shooting meteors and wearing bright-green armor.

Literally what.

I don't even like the game, but calling it p2w is a blatant fucking lie. Everything in the cash shop is cosmetic, save for stash tabs, which are irrelevant because you can make like 20 fucking characters.

>>315781992
It's decent. On first playthrough, it's going to seem like there are so many build options, and so much in the way of customization.
But all of that customization is moot come endgame, where only a handful of builds are viable.
The graphics are shit, but the art style is actually bretty gud.
Overall I'd recommend it if it won't be your first arpg rodeo. If you know what you're getting into, you'll probably enjoy it.
Just don't expect it to blow you away or anything.
>>
>>315782413
Damn, that UI looks good. Too bad the game looks so 2005 that's because it is
>>
>>315781992
It's free, so unless you have shit internet I'd say just go try it.

It can be a bit slow early before a build really works, but so was Diablo 2 if you played solo/without a rush.

I'd say personal preference is a big part of it, though. It's also not p2w, but you do have to pay for more storage beyond the first four stash tabs. If you just play a little it won't be a problem, but if you're gonna sink a lot of time into it, yeah you'll probably need more.
>>
>>315782413
My biggest problem with Grim Dawn was that the rng was fucking unforgiving, with regard to uniques/sets.
My first playthrough was soldier/shaman 2h lightning build. Out of the three dozen or so uniques I found, maybe 4 or 5 were actually usable for me, and only one was a weapon that fit my build.
Well, it would have fit my build... ten levels before it dropped. By the time I got it, I already had a green with nearly double the dps.

That aside, a few other issues, like balance going completely out the window in the last act, especially with aether, vitality, and chaos resistance.

>>315782645
that may very well be the case, I didn't bother to try because they'll modify it back and forth anyway until release.

I'd rather be worried about the clunky animations.
>>
>>315782268
Still sound lame desu.

PvP in diablo used to be something that happened to you or you did to others. Now its just a mini game.
A lot of the fun in pvp is taken out when its a mutually agreed upon affair. I cant gank people out in the world, i dont have to worry about being ganked when im out in the world. It takes away from the excitement.

being able to automatically skip all of the "story elements" does sound nice though.
>>
>>315779980
PVP was a lot more fun than grifting to be honest. And it still allowed way more creativity with builds. With D3, your build is determined by what set pieces you're using.
>>
>>315781992
I didn't like it because it focused on grinding even harder than D3. You grind to get abilities, which are random drops, you grind to make your abilities stronger, you grind, you grind and you grind harder. It just wasn't my thing.
>>
>>315769771
So is D3 finally worth playing now? Is there actually an end game? I'm not bashing, I was thinking about coming back.

The grind in PoE is fucking absurd. It doesn't help that GGG takes every cheap, effective, efficient build, features it, and then promptly nerfs it.

Supposedly an update a while ago gave most of those abilities a team cooldown, meaning one member of the pack uses it, then it goes on cooldown for all of them.
From what I've seen, that's bullshit, and they can certainly spam it still.
>Did the warrior's rest farming spot get fixed?
There aren't really any farming spots anymore. It's all bounties and rifts now.

Underwhelming, as expected. A game as fundamentally flawed as Diablo 3 will never be good.

This is coming from someone who has more than 1200 hours poured into this shit game since release, finally quit for good when the last patch hit, the game has virtually no difficulty now.

Reminder that D3 was designed for consoles and casuals and will never be good without being completely rebuilt from the ground up.

>>315783423
>>315784053
They massively increased the middle and top tier unique drop rate, and now all skill gems can be bought from vendors. Hopefully the trend of making the game less grindy continues. Having uber rare items is great, but 1500 fusings on average to 6 link an item is bullshit when you might find 20-30 while leveling a character to 80.

I have 2000 hours in game (probably around 1000 at 66+) and have never found a single 6 link or Kaom's/Bringer of Rain tier item

Meanwhile I knew some fuckers that put in maybe 100 hours at most, and got a Kaom's per-nerf.
I can't stand systems that are too reliant on RNG. I get that it's pretty much an inherent part of all arpgs, but fuck, I like to feel like my time invested in a game is being rewarded.

Nothing feels as shitty as totally plateauing around 65 and having to spend dozens of hours farming for good enough gear to progress.

I leveled a character on the hardcore league with a friend who was just starting, we hit cruel act 4 and he gets an Astramentis. I barely manage to contain my envy and explain to him his luck and the value of the item, he stashes it and we continue on.

1 hour later he dies and uninstalls, the Astramentis still in his stash.

I've never played D2. I have close to 1,000 hours on D3. And I think D2 elitists (autists?) are the worst, in the same tier as Sonic. Your game is old and I don't care about it, period. There's no legit gamer anywhere who doesn't have a game he knows is better than its successors in the franchise. But D2 shitheads are the only ones who are so whiny and condescending so much of the time. It is literally impossible to discuss D3 without you people shitting on the conversation about how you're right and everyone else is wrong.
