Waiting for the day blizzard makes them good.
I am pretty slow and old but damn i am still BAFFLED at how many people here already finished the game on numerous difficulties with different characters at level 60, i mean it's barely been out a week
i fully expect a "lttp: Diablo 3" thread soon... it will go something like "remember when we beat D3 on Normal back then? good times mang..."
that said i just finished it on Normal for the first time and it took me like 20 hours, which is something that usually takes me a month or two nowadays so i think that only shows HOW great the game is
Same. My playtime to finish Normal was just over 20 hours and finished it last night. Some people just have a lot of time on their hands
, no worries! Also it is indeed hilarious to see complaints about Inferno difficulty, that's the point of it!!

I haven't run into that situation yet but there was some codes I recorded that are supposed to be used in that case. Hopefully, if my phone dies, I have what I need to regain control of my account.
You can also install an android emulator on your computer and install the authenticator on it.

In regards to the story, I agree with the complaints that it's really bad. D2's was pretty simple as well, but at least it kept it to the point. If you play D2 and 3 back to back and say they're the same in the way they present story you're playing different games, D2 knows what it is and keeps the dialogue and info more to the point. In D3 people won't shut up.
Just compare
how Diablo acts between the games. In D2 he's an ominous force that you're out to stop, he emerges, he says his single line before you fight, that's it. In D3 he is talking to you throughout the entire last act. Even in the last fight he won't shut the fuck up, "THINK OF ALL THE PEOPLE YOU LET DOWN" really Diablo? I'm pounding your face in you're not convincing anyone.
But that doesn't stop me from liking the game as a whole. I went into D3 relatively blind, but I didn't want it to be another D2; I played the game for a decade, I'm sick of it already. I will say that while I wanted something different from D2, I didn't want it to be simplified to the extent that D3 ended up as-- but being a Blizzard game it's very unlikely it'll stay the same in the long run. I'll say that I put in my 70~ hours for now, but that is merely a blink compared to the time I invested into 2. Then again 2 really picked up steam once LoD hit so I'm taking a wait and see approach to 3. I think 3 could've been a lot better than what it ended up as, but I'm still happy with what we ended up with.

I'd love a tutorial on this.

The high-end plans can make for some seriously insane items. Not everything is as useless as the jeweler or the built-in smithing plans and the up-front costs for the plan-based items aren't all that absurd. If gold is plentiful enough, people will try to funnel the cheap gold into items that can be sold on the RMAH. Arbitrage and expected value will eventually drive everything.
There's a really awesome master plan going on here with the distributed computing model of loot drops aggregated and filtered into one monotonically increasing overall "loot pool" via the AH. The AH doesn't ruin or hurt the game, it makes including an absurd difficulty like Inferno possible.
It also makes Ladder play insane since the entirety of the item pool will be reset and we'll get to collectively populate the item "tree" with our loot once again.
Uncheck the p2p option in the downloader.
You getting hacked is in no way Blizzards fault.

The launcher has a preferences area where you can tell it to disable P2P. Did you try that?
I'm about 3/4 of the way though act 1 on Nightmare (RL not giving me time to play) but I don't feel like there is any rendomness at all. Does this get better?
I like the fact that some mobs actually can kill me now but having so recently beat normal mode I am already getting bored, the thought of having to do this another 2 times again is not appealing all of a sudden

Who's fault is it then? Can you say with great certainty that it was just him not using a strong enough password?

It's the hackers fault for taking advantage of his lax security.
Nope. By now I can predict where the exits in a level are going to be based from the first few seconds in a level.
Another complaint I have with it. Not enough level elements in the random rotation plus restrictive layouts. (Act 4 extra rooms always going to the top, etc.)

In the downloader in download preference you can disable p2p downloading.
Dont worry, I work for a big MMO, and people getting hacked is in most cases the fault of the game/devs. Players can be stupid, but very often its the fault of the game/devs/security structure, which we of course dont admit.
If you are popular, you'll get hackers for your game who will find a way around security measures.

So if my bank account gets hacked its my fault because I put in a weak password even though the online banking said it was fine?
Out of all the D3 complaints, the only one I can agree with is Legendary items being no better than blues/yellows. They really should roll better stats at least 80% of the time, but I've only found 1 so far myself Other than that, none of the other complaints really bother me. This game is fantastic.
But Blizzard does have a way to "secure their shit better." It's called using an authenticator.

A bad password, using the same password elsewhere, or getting your computer compromised. An authenticator prevents most of these, the only thing that can get you is if they intercept the authenticator code and login within the small timeframe it provides.

It's probably been linked by now but my mind was blown yesterday when PA revealed that Blizzard game passwords are not case sensative.
I tried it on my own account (which has multiple capitals) and it's true
Do you own password in all upper or lower case and it will work
scary...shit
I've found very few actual wizard hats (Gandalf style) and they were all terrible. I really, really want a wizard hat that is good. I just want my character to look like a proper badass wizard. I mean, right now I look like Rain from Mortal Kombat and that's cool, I guess.
But I want to don my robe and wizard hat, dammit. Also, I want a one-handed staff and orb that actually would benefit me, because right now I'm a wizard lugging around a giant 2 handed axe.. because it helps me cast better spells..

inferno. (downed him on second attempt)
Haha at people defending the security practices in this game. Embarassing.
Starcraft?

I absolutely hate how they felt the need to introduce the bosses via cutscene, especially the first one.
I liked it back when you walked into a room and HOLY SHIT IT'S FUCKING DURIEL HOLY SHIT HE'S HITTING ME HOLY SHIT I BOUND MY PORTAL TO THE WRONG BUTTON.
Now it's just like "Blah blah blah PRESENTING THE FIRST BOSS HE WILL KILL YOU AND DIABLO IS AWESOME blah blah blah" Then the boss roars or something and enters an obvious octagonal boss arena. It just sucks the horror out of the character and world.

Lmao I feel so stupid.
No, no that. He sends out a giant AOE frost nova that seems impossible to dodge.
I tend to agree with this. I also think we shouldn't interact with bosses until we fight them. The ridiculous amount of dialogue you have with the act 3 boss defused any excitement that might have arisen when you face him.
Yes, as far as I know.

That's amazing.
I mean...aside from the fact you didn't realize the big SC2 logo on the side.
Do you also feel stupid for posting a screenshot of the last boss dead? That does count as a spoiler.
Why do I even bother? Yeah I'm done with the story, but if I wasn't I'd be pissed. Why would you think that's okay to put up a screen shot of?
Wow, you're right. That is pretty stupid. I still think people need to take some personal responsibility for their own security. Especially if Blizzard is that dumb
Those things are worth 500k-1mil...
Toma, you're negativity is bring me down man.
Yes, they have some things they can do to improve security like allowing (or requiring) case sensitive passwords. No one is defending that.
But this idea that Session IDs or some kind of SQL dump has resulted in people getting hacked is stupid and needs to stop.
What's going on here?
He is playing Starcraft 2... hence the icon
Too bad, isnt it?
