What the fuck was Blizzard thinking when they made multiplayer in this game suck so much? There's literally no reason to play with other people. Everything is worse and there's no benefit. I do so much better in Inferno going solo. It's really upsetting because this was supposed to be a multiplayer game.

Seriously, what the fuck?

Don't see many of you talking about it, but has anyone tried selling in the trade and general channels? I made about 120k in about 15 minutes there tonight, and you bypass the 15% fee. Definitely brought me back to Diablo 2 and that feel you get when you know you're ripping someone off :lol

Multiplayer is "baad" until you realize that you could actually build your skillset around the idea of playing in multiplayer. Premade groups with synergy skills >> 4 lone ranger going at mobs randomly. Totally different beast then.

My Wizard Normal run is complete. Only took ~16 hours - quite a bit less than the first playthrough on my Demon Hunter. Time shaved off between skipping cutscenes and just powering through some parts without uncovering all of the map, ignoring some, but not all, optional dungeons.

Act 3 boss I killed in about 10 seconds (or less) with Magic Weapon, Familiar, and Archon. After getting Archon I wrecked quite a few bosses that way, though I can see it not being nearly as good in higher difficulties.

Have you used ruby in helmet ?
Click to expand...

No? I don't know what you're getting at, but as another poster below said, I am assuming a ruby in the helmet gives extra exp? Anyways, inferno will be interesting. It is weird not leveling up now, but feels nice that I finally have reached the end of the leveling process for now :)

WD is pretty fun! Shame Blow darts seem way better than spiders or frogs (not as cool though!)

Managed to get 4/5ths of the way through Act1 from complete scratch in a few hours, would go so much faster if I had all my gold and gems :/ Stupid having my monk on USA servers ;(

Yes. You can do that. But why?
Click to expand...

I am sorry, but where are you in the game? In Act2 Inferno and onwards, there is worlds of difference between 5 champion mob following YOU and only YOU, and following a group of 4+ people. Worlds of it.

Also, it is FUN to play with others, especially if you have voice chat/are in the same room/etc.

Yeah, except most people don't have that. It's not like there's a guild system built in to D3 or anything. Randoms are all I have for grouping, and it's not fun right now. In fact it sucks ass.

Nine out of ten orphans can't tell the difference.
I don't think there's a single person on the planet that likes this bloody AH system.

I kinda fancy making a separate D3 |Trade thread| and have people trade items with eachother like normal human beings instead of using the incredibly restrictive, monumentally broken and horrendously abysmal black hole that is the auction house mechanic.

I get what you're feeling. It's like playing on Dota 2 pubs.

Then again, NeoGAF has a good community of players though. Why not try to coop with some of us?

Inferno. I actually have 3 people I play with on voice comms and yes it is fun. But even I can see it won't last long even with those advantages. You are playing a loot game right? The fastest way to get good loot in this game is to farm solo and that's what people will do. I can't imagine a single soul jumping on a public inferno game to have fun.

People annoy others way too much so to have an enjoyable multiplayer experience you need incentives. This game has none! You would think blizzard a company that gives insane bonuses in wow to get people to pay together would have got that by now....

I feel like you are not even reading what people write. If being MORE efficient and having more survivability thanks to n player's added stuns/knockbacks/slows/resurrects/heals is not an incentive for you while actually having a chance for individual loot as well, then you do not WANT to have fun in multiplayer. But that is your bias then.

I love the AH system. I am also planning to do a Diablo III RMAH-AH |OT| of what is this all about :p
But I do not know if I have the time to fully get around the idea - it is a difficult pill to swallow for many.

It's fun playing with friends and all, but forcing people to actually have to adapt their build entirely for multiplayer is completely bullshit in a game like Diablo, once again it's Wow's thinking all over again shitting over the game.

I rolled a Barbarian, because I wanted to play a big badass with a two-hander that would just destroy everything in its way, playing solo already forces me to play semi tanky, and playing multiplayer just requires me to go full tank, not even for group purpose only but just because the scaling screams for it, and that's not even remotely fun.

My shout bonuses, and maybe one or two group friendly runes here and there should have been enough, not changing my entire build and equipment.

Yes flawless square which costed 5-6k gold before they turned commodity market off gives +19%. Which is huge boost as you have more levels than normally. So you can buy cheaper items in AH for same effect.

I'm pretty sure there's a guy at Blizzard who has a big list of error codes he can just tick so they show up. "Hmm, what error should they get today... 37? 74? 75? 313500? The choice!".

That's my difference with you. I actually love that you have to do so. It creates a different layer to the game.

And also, we are talking about Inferno here. This is the difficulty Blizzard included for the fans that were asking for the impossible.

I dont mind autojoin general chat, I mean, I played WoW, so this is nothing.

What I do mind is your personal chatbox defaulting to general chat, and not party chat like it previously did.

This makes for a lot of general chat spam thats clearly meant for some guys party chat.

"Can I get a rez"

And stuff like that.

When my inventory is full I get so anxious. When I'm deciding if I should sell or salvage I get so anxious. When I try to price my items I get so anxious. When my ten auction slots are full I get so anxious.

I'm deeply enjoying the whole AH system :)
It's almost like second game in the same package :D Just need a way to make auctions shorter.

I had to completely change my gear to get through Inferno.

I now have 700 resists (across the board) and 5000 armor for my Monk, I was able to solo the butcher without too much trouble.

Act II is going to be tough, I can already tell, lol.

If we're making a trade thread. I'll trade an arcade stick for a stormshield :p

Jus noticed the missing xp from the quests. Pathetic. All those tests and yet they failed to notice the potential problem? Gee, you are giving the xp reward with every single quest completion. How could anyone have known that players would take advantage of that. And the quick hack job looks hilarious as well, they kept the window the same and just removed the text. 500 gold, thanks guys.

On the plus side, less of the annoying cut scenes and dialogs to sit through. That blizzard polish...

?! The auction house works just fine. Instant access to items of millions of players, and their eyes on your offerings. There's a couple issues, such as you can't sort certain items adequately (such as wizard off-hand sources) and also ya can't really see the stats of stuff you sold, but I think those things will get fixed.

The in-game AH is also very necessary for the game's economy, as it takes gold out of the game by making 15% of the gold that trades hands disappear. If that wasn't the case, hyper-inflation would be basically instant. Whether salvaging takes enough items out remains to be seen... but so far I'd say the economy is running smoothly.
