When the best and only loot you can use comes more from the Auction House than drops from monsters, you have a big problem. I've had 2 Legendary drops and neither of them were worth keeping.

Nope not only you. I got my copy for free as I signed up for the Annual Pass with World of Warcraft, big mistake but I enjoy D3 as a break from other games, refuse to play daily as the repetitiveness is starting to rear its ugly head.So it's not just me being overly critical then. The only good thing is i got my copy cheap at the blockbusters store for £34.99 but overall, deeply disappointed, blizzard may very well get away with selling this game and breaking record sales, they won't get away with it again I'd imagine. It's just so boring and has nothing going for it, it's really that repetitive.
I'm sitting here trying to decide whether or not to remove it from my PC. Setting aside the problems with the server infrastructure, the game is the mother of all exponential curves. Getting to the end game on Inferno requires you to grind obscene amounts of currency. I've completed Act One on Inferno for a paltry 500,000 gold. To progress any further I'll need to spend 1,000,000 or more per slot on gear. By the time you get to Act Three you'll need to be spending 10,000,000 per slot. Basically the end game, Inferno, is only available via the Auction House but at a monumental cost.
That's the idea. The AH is designed to be the focus because that is how Blizzard will make money. Just wait for the real money AH to go live. Then you can buy items with real money and not have to farm (except in real life).
Indeed, we were just discussing this on comms. I can see a lot of my Guild members getting sucked into it.
Yes, there is It's called Whimsyshire, and is very cartoonish. You'll have to battle unicorns, flowers, and other cuddlies. It's actually a lot of fun.
I played the open beta, and mostly was impressed with the quality of the graphics, and how well the engine handles itself, with walls opening up to allow the player to continue having an overview. The cinematics are simply amazingly well done, and absolutely gorgeous and detailed.
What makes D3 different to D2 is the way levels are rendered. Every level you enter will have some randomized dungeons appear. As in: There might be 8 different dungeons, and 2 of them will appear per game. These instances will have you meet different bosses, different NPCs, and possibly different books of Lore or creature information.
If you try getting into Whimsyshire, you'll see what I mean.
Yes, it has the same repetition as D2, and eventually, it will become just another grind, but that did not grow old for me in D2, and I'm not yet bored of D3. Beyond NightMare, the unique and Set items are supposed to start dropping, so there's lots more to discover for me at the time (just started NM).
I also intend to see how far I can get with completeing the achievements, and trying out different classes.
Apart from the technical issues that initially plagued the game, and despite the steep 60 USD price, I still am enjoying it. And heck, I can live with the bugs. I have been playing Entropia Universe for 7 years, and that's just about as bad as games get, bug-wise.
3 days till GW2 Beta Weekend .I'll be uninstalling diablo 3 today as it holds zero interest for me. With it's repetitive flaw there's just no balance in the game your character can either 1. kill off your foes easily or 2. get dealt a one blow hit and voila dead there's just no middle ground where, when you kill a standard enemy, there's a feeling of accomplishment. Blizzard only got away with high sales because half the idiots that purchased it didn't realize how bad the game was going to be. I've since reverted back to Torchlight which as a whole, is a more balanced game, but I'll eagerly await torchlight 2 with it's added multilayer functionality which i feel will surpass D3 in the gameplaying department probably not the sales since blizzard, like apple could probably sell ice to Eskimo and people will still purchase the crap they build because of the name.
When I asked you awhile back if you were playing Diablo 3 yet you said no and after reading the story I can see why you weren't hyped over it."Diablo 3 has 10 million players so the development team must be doing something right."
Um no. It's what is called cashing out on a brand. You can produce crap and people will still buy it.
