Why aren't you playing Diablo 3 right now?

Why aren't you playing Diablo 3 right now?
The latest patch just fixed EVERYTHING.

Because Diablo 3 still costs around $35 and the console version still isn't patched.

>this thread again

/vg/ general dead already?

>console version
lel

Path of Exile is better in every way and still not that great.

Because everybody is playing Grim Dawn. Free expansion soon.

Diablo games are trash.

The games are too different to compare at this point.

>boring skilltree the game

nty

Reaper of Souls is fun

You can polish a turd all you want, it wil still be a turd.

I'm liking Grim Dawn a lot more than cookie cuter
3.

The console version is better. The game was obviously made with consoles in mind also

Because Diablo 3 + Expansion is expensive, I'll buy it when it hits $15 combined on sale.

So thats why the pc version released 2 years before the console version? woah.

But in all seriousness the console version was designed better than the PC version so they are currently emulating the console version design on the PC version.

What the fuck did this patch even do. They've been on autopilot for 3 seasons. I cna't even be fucked to roll a monk or a sader, since there's been zero fucking changes int he last months. Game is just boring right now, it was cool how they changed everything up with RoS, but they don't change shit with the seasons, so it gets stale so fucking fast

Just started a seasonal character. Made it to about level 15 before I turned it off.

I just forgot how boring this game is. It's tedious. You just grind through Adventure mode and do the same shit over and over. It isn't even rewarding.

And fact that the player counters are broken, (says 0 people playing for most difficulties) makes me feel like it's a dying game every second I'm playing it.

>So thats why the pc version released 2 years before the console version? woah.
Thanks for the beta test cuck

>tfw haven't played since season 1

_ _____ ____ ____ _____.

Only retards play Diablo 3.
Only retards give money to Neo-Blizzard.

Are you a retard OP?

Try the Crucible DLC yet? Is it worth the $5?

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

>roe nerfed literally hours before the season starts
>fucks up meta so bad that the best classes to play are now literally the exact same as the past two seasons/patches


FULL FUCKING RETARD

Does it fix the game being a clickfest gear treadmill Skinner Box?

What's the appeal of seasons?

what is this

>broken

they're not, it's 0 people playing most of the lower difficulties usually. Picks up when a new season starts obviously.

Spelunky

it used to be things like season exclusive gear which meant season exclusive playstyles+allowed players to start from scratch.


now its nothing because people cried and now there is nothing exclusive to seasons.

It gives the illusion of longevity when in reality, if the game wasn't good then, it sure as hell wont be good in the future, which is right now.

A better game than D3.

The PC version was worse before they started to emulate the console version. So thanks for spawning the better product sonybro.

I have it, it's dead. I'm sure if I bought d2 right now I could find a game on any difficulty. d3? Not so much.

When I have the arpg itch, Marvel Heroes scratches that for me.

>always online
No thanks

Because ARPGs are the most brainless genre ever. No skill involved. Just click stuff.

I never understood what people liked about D2 online, other than playing with a friend.

What's so "fun" about doing a zillion Baal runs?

>So thats why the pc version released 2 years before the console version? woah.

the ps3 and xbox 360 ports were out at the same time as the pc, the current gen consoles ports were release lated with the expansion bundled
there was an image detailing alot of the consolization of diablo 3 that existed in the pc version
very simple gear modifiers
4 player limit per game because thats the max they can do split screen on consoles
levels are designed very linear to ensure split screen players can't wander off screen
and many more

wow did they really do that? I fucking knew they were going to do that. Witch Doctor will never be the meta haha

>The latest patch just fixed EVERYTHING.

So it gives me a refund when it finishes downloading?

Grim Fandango: Electric Boogaloo

You can thank Blizzard for killing that game for a few dollars more(when in fact they got a few dollars less and alienated almost all of their old fans).When the last server for Diablo 3 dies out and you can't even play the game in single player there will be people still playing Diablo 2.

How sad is that.

Because it's still the weakest part of the trilogy. All they had to do was iron out a few issues with Diablo 2 and increase the graphic quality, and instead they made an entirely different game banking off the success of previous entries.

yeah it sucks. now its another season of twister wiz. and since they nerfed every support skill the WD had hes not even good at the support roll. literally trashcan tier outside of maybe speed farming

I have no idea why people are still playing it regularly.

But doing the same runs over and over are the same as any ARPG, that's the thing with the genre.

>tfw no ARPG but D2 will get necromancer right

IT'S NOT FAIR

Divine Divinity does necromancer pretty well.

I think we still have some time before that happens no?

Blizzard doesn't have enough games on deck to just be shutting down classics like that. Fuck them if they do.

Grim Dawn

its not as good or motivating as D3 tho

I haven't played since like... season 4 maybe? What do you mean, sir?

vs no skill tree or actual leveling the game.

t. Jay Wilson

PC release: may 15th 2012
PS3 & Xbox360: Sep 3rd 2013

That is approx 1.5 years sry for exaggerating with the 2 years ;^)

My friend powerleveled my character to 70 last season in like 5 minutes. Then I was given a full set of loot.

I shut the game off and uninstalled it shortly after.

They said that about Reaper of Souls, and no it didn't.

is it out on steam?

Yeah they put most d3 staff onto legion. Dont expect anything till blizzcon

Para 211 on seasons reporting

welp thats my fault for searching so poorly but those design choices existed in the pc version at launch before the console ports were known to be a thing

>Aborted second expansion released through patches 2.3 and 2.4
Deader than Elvis, at least for Blizzard.

I really hope so. "They fixed everything" meme aside they really have improved the game so much since launch and its really fun now. But im so done with seasons.

Any new exploits?

No they werent. They even said it at blizzcon that loot 2.0 was based on the console experience. Get your fucking facts straight.

Which sets do you get this season?

>browse the official D3 forums a little bit
>players seem to constantly refer to the game as a "beta" even though it's seemingly been out for years

What did they mean by this?

We're still talking about path of exile right?

No, you can actually level your stats in PoE through the passives tree, unlike a certain game.

Fixed the lack of druid class?

Fuck, im gonna play it again, what should I know for rolling a seasonal character?

>Aborted second expansion released through patches 2.3 and 2.4

What new content did they add?

Yet that skill tree doesn't even have anything other than boring as fuck passives, wasted potential.

>have to buy the expansion to maybe fix the shitty base game

No thanks. I bought Diablo 3 but I won't be fooled a second time.

>I haven't played Diablo 3.

You do realise you can level your passives right?

Simply put, I'm still bitter about the real money auction house, the rampant account hacking it caused. The recolours of mobs in a game that was 10 years in development. The overly simplistic almost linear maps in a game that was renowned for it's random map generation. And last, but not least, gameplay that was simply lacking. Oh, and they removed the auction house. Which was a huge selling point at time of release. Even though that kinda made me laugh a bit...

Does PC have offline mode yet?

Map gen was never ever EVER good in previous Diablo games

I'm not excusing D3 because it's garbage but let's be realistic

In Diablo 2 it encouraged you to try out a different build and reset the economy.

In Diablo 3 it doesn't make much sense since there are no real builds to level up since you unlock everything eventually. Also no trading so no real economy to reset/fix.

Oh boy you can swap some points out any time you want, whoop-de-fuck. I'm talking about actual skill points and shit here. D3 does that all automatically with the exception of paragon shit.


Nice goalpost moving.

Diablo 3 has been fixed and at it's best for a while. It's been many patches now of barely any changes.

If you played the game forever ago, it's better. If you played the game recently, nothing changed and you can be done with this game until something new comes out.

They added some random new areas.
I think it was some Barbarian temple at the mountain and some snowy forest

I've played diablo 3 before and just recently reinstalled d2 instead.

What the fuck. The skill tree system is what makes your character feel unique. Who the hell thought it was a good idea to remove it? The same applies to the stats.

>What the fuck. The skill tree system is what makes your character feel unique. Who the hell thought it was a good idea to remove it? The same applies to the stats.

Are we talking about Diablo 3 or WoW?

You do realise they are actual "skill points". Just because you can move them around doesn't mean they aren't.

Exactly.
Talk about moving the goalpost.

>getting fooled in the first place
I thought that always online was a big tell that the game was too shit.

Why the hell isn't there another Diablo 3 expansion?

They might as well not be. So much for character permanence, right?

>Marvel Heroes
How far can I get if I decide to play the game for free? Can I play as Magik, best girl?

At least I could run an area and not know exactly where everything is every time.
Sometimes caves had a second level to them.
Things were different in each run.
With 3. It was the same thing every time. The only difference, was that you had to go left or right at different times.
All the tiles were rectangular hallways.
Nothing really felt randomized.

Back to my other post though, why the fuck would there be recolours in a game that has been in development for 10 years? And without cartridge/storage device limitations? That really really really really pisses me off. Especially with all the damn hype. Recolous! For fucks sake, Blizzard....
As you can see, I have a hard time getting over the fucking reclours.

>/vg/

Only tripfags and homos who are desperate for any form of attention and like to ERP with other dudes go to /vg/.

>still playing Diablo 3 in fucking 2016
kek

>wanting to get stuck down when you're experimenting with builds

Okay.

WTF season 7 started i didn't even fucking knoW!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOPPIN IN AS WE SPEAK OP

GODSPEED, GOOD LAD

>WHY AREN'T YOU PLAYING DIABLO 3?
Because it is complete and utter garbage. The gameplay was dumbed down because MUH CONSOLES (thanks you fucking consolefags) and as a result PC release suffered and so did any actual Diablo fan. The game was a complete wreck from the beginning and still is a complete wreck. It isn't fixed, and it will never be fixed.

The only fucking way for them to FIX THAT FUCKING BROKEN MESS, IS TO REMAKE IT LIKE A TRADITIONAL DIABLO GAME. FUCK OFF, YOU SMELLY NIGGER.

see Nice try pcucks

What's the point when all characters are like exactly the same

it seems obvious to me they scrapped it. no announcement of anything diablo at the last blizzcon and the diablo booth was jammed way the fuck in the back in a closet by the toilets.

no other news so far this year either. the next blizzcon is only a few months away and if they dont announce anything or if the booth is the same as last year they have nothing in store for the game except more seasons and more makes skill do 9999% damage items.

judging by jobs page they are working on "something" diablo related and hiring for key positions like game director, so whatever they are working on is a long way away.

Yes it is, patch went out a few days ago.

PS360 platforms never have been and never will be patched, if that's what you mean.

i'm fine with grim dawn, thanks

Yeah, the whole Cube concept seems like something that they could have hid away as a major part of an expansion.

They gave it up, though. And now subsequent patches look even more lackluster.

Meanwhile, the power creep has finally caught up to the game. I really don't see what incentive there is to play when most changes of the patch were nerfs. People hit GR100 and beyond and now Blizzard doesn't know what to do.

The game's a few years old. It's just as well.
