prob the biggest thing that irritates me about the ah is it clearing my search settings when I switch between gold and rmt, fucking annoying as hell the way it's set up in the first place, having to do it twice every time I want to even consider selling something is just retarded

GDI Diablag 3 this week. Over a month and the game is unplayable at highest level due to lag...

"whats that? Spirit walk? Nah, we can still attack you and drop you in 4 hits that never actually happen on your screen even if it took 4-12 button mashes to finally activate the only defense a dps WD has thanks to never ending lag."

Rubberbanding is so fucking outrageous on the weekend, kept being rubberbanded back into plague/desecrate. I don't see how people play hardcore, it was pretty damn bad.

Has anyone else seen their achievement progress inexplicably regress? I played a bunch of inferno co-op last night and ended up finding & using golden/infernal/purity/abyssal dyes and today all those dyes were no longer checked-off for my Rainbow Connection achievement.

Not to mention I wasted gold on 6 different dyes to get Make It Work, and didn't get it when I dyed all my slots differently a while back.

The rubberbanding I can deal with. What's been making me rage hardcore is getting ILevel 63 shit with only 3 modifiers and wind up being total crap. No I don't want a 250dps monk weapon with + min, + Max and 50-150 ice damage.

[miokomioko]

At least you're getting 63s! I have got about 5 total (all blues), and they have all been shit.

Last night I got an axe with ~1100 DPS and I was like "finally!" and then I realized it was 2-handed... *sob*

[Raldo]

I got a couple of 63 rares recently. The DPS on both were in the high 900s, but otherwise nothing too special, and I was like "alright, well I can at least put this on one of my followers...", but they were both 2-handed polearms, and the Enchantress can't use those for some reason...

[Lordender]

Those awesome servers, wonder how many Hardcore players died.

2h polearms are mighty weapons.

[Rehn]

Are there anyone who doesn't get affected with rubberbanding? Read some bnet threads and some people just don't have this issue (lucky bastards). Died last night on act 3 when I ran away from a desecrater pool only to be rebounded back into it. And the elite pack was below 200k life too D:

I guess you dont rubberband if you only click while moving and not holding the mousebutton?

[Cyn]

Huh? It's just a lag issue, it doesn't matter what your personal playstyle is.

no, 2 hand polearms are 2 hand polearms

2 hand mighty weapons are 2 hand mighty weapons

Yeah I noticed it on The Hero's New Clothes; I finally kept it together naked long enough for my follower to kill HellAzmo and no progress. They def left some polish in that other closet.

[Cyn]

no, 2 hand polearms are 2 hand polearms

2 hand mighty weapons are 2 hand mighty weapons

Ack, you're right. I guess I just assumed polearms were barb only because it's the only weapon type wizards can't use (excluding class specific gear obviously.)

[Lordender]

WD's can use polearms, figure that shit out, lol, makes no sense.

[Cyn]

Well it makes perfect since for wizards to have a hard time running around with polearms, I mean, really, they'd clearly be much more comfortable with giant axes and maces and crossbows than pole weapons... oh wait.

[Lucavi]

WDs look like they're about to keel over when they hold polearms.

[Thunder]

I thought polearms looked cool on WD lol, looks like you're holding a gigantic knife. In relation to how they look with everything else, anyway (read: shit). Shield at least looks cool - WDs look like they're cowering behind it

My rant to a few friends, thought I'd share:


This is copied from a Blizzard blue post.

"One of the biggest issues we discovered with IAS was that it actively limited build diversity. While IAS was pretty strong on its own, when coupled with certain gear and skill combinations, it simply became too alluring for a lot of players to ignore. So, instead of seeing an increase in gear and skill diversity over time, what we actually saw was more and more players shifting to IAS-focused builds almost exclusively. On a scale large, it was crippling experimentation and skill diversity.

A lot of players think we reduced the value of IAS because it made characters too powerful. While that's not a totally unreasonable conclusion to jump to, it's definitely not true. We don't think "doing a lot of damage" or "doing too much damage" is enough reason for us to nerf something outright. IAS was an outlier -- it's not that it made characters too powerful, but rather that it caused a few builds to become vastly superior to others. On top of that, it introduced a ton of bugs just due to how fast characters were attacking when stacked to its upper limits.

The initial iteration of IAS was flawed in many ways. So, in effort to promote skill diversity and remove several game-impacting bugs from the environment, we reduced the value overall. We're fairly happy with where IAS is right now, as well as skill diversity in general (though we're going to need to do some additional skill balancing to bring it up to where we want)."

In short, they felt people were IAS stacking and it “limited build diversity”. Is this a joke? Have they played any classes at all in inferno? Most classes share similar builds…and I’m pretty sure the IAS “nerfs” didn’t make people go omfg, I must have a more diverse build. No, all it did was nerf their damage by 50%...seriously Blizzard? SERIOUSLY? More skill diversity? This is the FFXI way of handling adjustments and it’s piss poor. Here’s a nice little quote that relates:

“You don’t increase the power of the weak by decreasing the power of the strong.”

What that means is, is if DHs and Wizards were stacking IAS and hitting 150k dps and they were blowing stuff up, who cares. If Barbs and Monks can’t handle that because they are melee and have to focus more on health and resistances, then why not BUFF the melee’s by a 15% base or something to compensate. This whole “build diversity” is more hogwash than anything I’ve heard in a single player game…ever. I don’t want to feel like I’m being Allen Iverson right now but we talkin’ bout build diversity? What are we talkin’ bout here Blizz, build diversity?

Also, being that this game is a single player type game, it may not make a comeback short of short surges from EPIC PATCHES or expansions because with Mists of Panderia coming soon and Guild Wars 2 being next month (and also free to play), D3 may simply be a fiscal buffer to carry MoP and their next MMO project “Titan” ****Featuring an all new in-game REAL MONEY AUCTION HOUSE AMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG****
