Haha, so in Inferno you will be one shotted by the right enemy and they've designed it so that hits are literally unavoidable. Brilliant.
No, I should be playing! I alt-tabbed to see the meltdowns in the thread and then spotted that
That's golden.

"We don't want a game where the most effective way to play is to dodge in and out of enemy attacks"
Shit, guess I've been doing it wrong in all those other games for 15 years

Crazy stats :
Mother of god.....
Yea we can't avoid melee attacks. We should all quit playing right now imo. Personally, I'm going to throw my monitor through my window brb.
Or hit esc once.

Oh defense force, you guys are adorable!

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Aaaand she dies immediately.
RNG-based builds, just what this game needed. We've got RNG-based damage, on top of RNG-based melee-ranged attacks (intentional design), and the cherry on top; RNG-broken-builds.
12 years, ladies and gentlemen.
What the actual fuck.

It's pretty damn dumb, man. No need to go on damage control.
It really pisses me off that I've died so many times in this game due to a game design choice that was made for no particular reason at all.

Seems like they had no idea what they were trying to do with inferno (in regards to making it enjoyable to players). On the other difficulties anything that can 1 hit kill is able to be avoided through movement (arcane beams, ice explosions etc...) but not in inferno. Though why have the focus be on skill or improving your character through leveling when you can have the end game content depend on people using an auction house where you get money from every transaction?
Relax guys. I'm just having a bit of fun with the people who are going absolutely insane over this game.
LOL you are just like me except I don't play WoW.
Dat hardcore gamer stats.
Hit detection is pretty crazy in this game but it's to tell in between the lag, occasional frame rate hiccups and actual crazy hit box.
And that DH rare bow makes me want one too....
That's basically my feeling.
This is too funny.
Exploit specific mechanic. Spam a button for 2 minutes. Die anyway.
I believe they are only referring to melee attacks. I don't know for sure but that's consistent with my play experience.

The matchmaking in this game is a joke. Why can't it have been like D2?

Would someone mind re-posting the calculus that is the formula of figuring out what stats contribute to dps and such?
I'm presently baffled that someone has the same Int as me is doing almost 2x the damage.
His 2h weapon is doing 1190 (mine is 990), but that's not the difference.
Is it just the +70% critical damage he's getting from a gem on his weapon? (star emerald) If so, I'm selling my 2h for one with a gem slot RIGHT NOW. I mean, he's critting at over 100k.

So far it looks like "Kite like a mothafucka, get one-shot killed"

What's the point of using a shield if he just gets one shotted? Surely there's something better out there.

I can crit for 130k with one of my skills.
He stops using Frost Nova for some reason. I don't understand why, because it's obviously working.

Maybe it has a lot of crit chance?
Might I ask what makes Dire Bats so good? I haven't used it at all.

I knew about that blue post and was gonna look for it, but I guess you found it first.

I can't. He and I are both playing as Wizard. I'm watching a video stream right now, so I can't see everything he has. But the difference...I mean, we have the same level of Intelligence and his damage is 52,000. Mine is like 35,000. His weapon is only 200dps higher than mine.
So it's either the +200 dps, or it's that +70% crit damage increase.

Everytime the shock pulse crits, one second of frost novas cooldown gets reduced. If you're unlucky, you won't crit enough times to reduce the nova completely. At that point, you're screwed 'cuz it'll be on cooldown.
It's not everytime, everytime you crit it has a chance of reducing the cooldown.

I have to imagine ME3 was faster. 20 hour game, DAT ENDING WTF

I think Bashiok (or another blue) implied they'll work on something eventually to facilitate things like trade games and the like, but that it wasn't as big a priority as making sure matchmaking (which is going to be the large majority of use cases) worked properly.
So...probably with the expansion. :/

... same shit. Random's gonna random
Not sure if this is news to you guys as well, but here's the latest on Inferno tuning:

I'd imagine most people aren't doing an Inferno playthrough right now. So, I dunno, I don't think there's much backlash.
It's both. 200 dps increase on a weapon is huge. THat crit bonus is really nice too.

ah yes. the living lightning stun & freeze method.
basically, every item he's wearing is giving him crit/stun and he's using the passive that gives a chance of a second of cool down for each crit. Infinite crits means infinite stun & freeze lock.
But if you get hit once by anything you die.
How much damage would going from 990 --> 1190 gain me? Or, what part of the +20,000 damage he has on me is being created just with the +200 damage?
I have no clue how the Diablo calculus works. The answer to that question will determine how I value an 1100 damage weapon with a gem socket vs something else.
Of the probably close to 7M people who bought the game by now, I would imagine that the majority are having an absolute blast.
Am I contributing enough to satisfy you now?
Running around, getting hit so that I can take good pictures of how truly terrible the hit detection + lag is in this game.
Wow that sucks. I've never had it that bad ever. I usually sit at 70-90ms.
Holy fucking fuck. You know, I've complained about a lot of the poor design decisions in this game, but this tops them all. This is worse than the stupid itemization, worse than the straightforward stats, worse than Act II. My head is not prepared for how stupid this is.
It has nothing to do with latency.
Nothing you listed bothers me at all. You can dodge spells. This on the other hand bothers me:

OK it doesn't bother me, but it clearly needs to be fixed.
