I thought that apart from The Butcher, the boss encounters were a little dull. Do dps, kill adds, don't stand in the fires(and sometimes the fires don't even matter). This is on normal, but it sounds like the harder difficulties don't add any new mechanics beyond the Butcher's 3 minute enrage?
And the fact that you're oneshotted. The mechanics themselves are the same, but trust me, bosses are way harder when they take ages to kill and a single mistake shows you a revive button, and that at the same time makes them more exciting, every close dodge of the hook on butcher is really exciting when you know he will kill you if you're caught.

when you talk about how champion mobs feel "out of place" i chuckled a bit. Diablo is all about feeling like a fucking bad ass. Raping a bunch of mobs really quick and seeing them explode. But once you throw a couple champions in the mix and those bugs in act 2 are spamming away at you, it leads to incredibly fun gameplay. you have to dodge stuff while dps'ing and worrying about pulling more mobs

I would never play HC, I can already see myself throwing my laptop out the window lol. But at the same time I'm not complaining about difficulty, right now I'm in act 2 hell and the gameplay is challenging enough for me. That could change when I get really good gear, but that won't happen for a while, as i tend to use AH sparsely.

I don't think the game is easy at all. The bosses definetly are the easiest part of Inferno, but I truthfully don't find that too suprising. Even still, Azmodan, and the boss previous to him aren't quick fights. They're long, tedious and you can be one shot.

I agree on some details but disagree on the big picture. I agree that bosses should be tougher than random mobs on any difficulty level, and certainly on inferno. I don't agree at all that the game is too easy. Don't you remember the easiness of Diablo 2? I finished it with multiple hardcore characters using multiple classes with just items I found myself (as I played single player), and I'm not even very skilled! With a good build (with enough VIT and RES) there was hardly anything that could one-shot you, even in Hell. It seems to me Diablo 3 is at least as hard as Diablo 2 was, even before Inferno starts. I don't think it is reasonable to expect Blizzard to make the new installment of the series an order of magnitude harder, that would frustrate and push away a *lot* of their former fans.

The game is pretty fun and challenging without reading 1000 Threads or Tutorials on the internet and without using AH. Ok, normal really was pretty easy but in nightmare you can actually die and I suppose most people like the game as it is.
|
I'd continue playing hardcore if I knew I wont get 1-2 dc every 2-3 days, have other peopel using same internet and not getting error 3007.
I also get rollbacks and have died more than 5 times getting rollbacked 30yd back to moltens.
Also nightmare and normal especially do not become any harder in HC. Yeah it's exciting first time but after that normal just feels mindnumbing.

if GAH did not exist, D3 would start becoming hard for a lot of people starting at Hell assuming they actually wanted to kill stuff instead of run away from everything

You think this game is easy?
Try playing on 800x600 graphics with a monk zoomed in
+ Show Spoiler +
Quite whining and play it like a man lmao. You every been vortexed into a group of molton bastards you ran into but didn't see until you died? Thats the difficulty setting your looking for.

that is pretty much likr saying.. try playing without using the keyboard or something strange handicap that also ruins the game quality.
I think this it is a very constructive way to argue.

Too easy? I support the motion that you play hardcore

Act 4 but I have stopped playing anywhere near as much. I don't have an urge to complete the game as quickly as humanly possible. I spent some time farming the aspects and some more time farming Acts 1 and 2. It's still easy.

see, this is exactly how increased difficulty is not supposed to be

I love how everyone's answer to the game being too easy is "play with your feet like Flash in Sc2!"

Wait, so people actually beat inferno solo already?

Groups killed inferno diablo a few days after release. Solo kills followed shortly thereafter but all within the first week (e.g., my kill was the tuesday after release). With the hotfixes, several classes lost their ability to easily kill inferno diablo but over classes that required more gear, e.g., barbarians, are getting solo kills now. There have been no hardcore inferno diablo kills yet but it is only a matter of time at this point as 5 stack nephalem buff kills are already occurring.

Those are jokes. The true answer is that you should play hardcore and you dodged that (very obvious) answer completely. You can address it but the style in which you are answering over all these pages kind of look like you just want to provoke everybody. Doesn't look very cool imo even if you try to suggest that your the best gamer in the world.

I died half way through Act 2 inferno HC due to lag and mobs hitting me that weren't even on my screen 5days into the game, not doing that shit again til servers are stable. It wasn't any harder than softcore you just have to go slower and prioritize survival stats. But I guess you're answer will be "don't play a dh or wizard" or do it again after all the nerfs.
