Only someone with that kind of grammar would think it looks better than D3, but it will be fun before D3 comes out =P

There's more D3 talk in the path of exile thread than there's D3 talk in this thread.

The two games will inevitably be compared, and if you're gonna pick something to pseudo mod, you might as well do it the bullshit thats been derailing this thread since page 150 first. If anything, his post is just as relevant, and he's showing what people mean by dark and gory as compared to actual D3.

This won't turn into a full blown discussion about PoE, but a little comparison never hurt anyone.

Love the little bit of history... However at some point, I can't help but feel that none of that feels fun...

I don't mind the idea of permadeath (I have/had a lot of fun playing roguelikes) but D2 always had a weird feel to it... Being able to save and exit or drop a tp at the drop of 2 buttons was what made it easy to not die in pve, but playing over the internet there will always be the possibility of dying to a DC. So the Hardcore is just frustrating.

Add that entire layer of people who gank each other and that you don't need to play with other people and it all feels strange... The guy who hits lvl 99 first isn't the best player, he's probably just a bit persistent and with a lot of friends/clan. Call me Softcore... but that whole meta game is not my cup of tea...

Still, several people have been talking like it's a 4th new difficulty setting, when it could actually just be a diferent name for something. I would be surprised even if the lack of information on it turned out to be Blizzard trolling everybody. It's just too soon to say there will be a 4th difficulty when every time someone asked about it before they were very sure about there being only 3.

No, it's very frustrating. I would say shamelessly I've raged tears from dying in HC, something no other game has even come close to doing. Everything was also a little bit more real on D2 given you can sell items on ebay for very easy amounts of high cash (Windforce Bow ~$40). Then a trading website called d2jsp got really big, where you basically trade "Forum Gold" on a forum, and then log into the game and swap goods. Of course, it sounds easy that someone could jack your shit, but considering the lack of people and trading sites on a 10 year old game, no one stole (and those who did were blacklisted very quickly). And You could buy FG for cash money too, so losing an HC character very much made it clear you were losing $300 in potential.

But I have never laughed harder in my life, when some 'mysterious' lvl 39 kills a bigshot lvl 80 in a duel with a twink by tricking the lvl 80 into thinking he's a random by wearing shit gear when he was looking, and I never had more adrenaline pumping through my body then when trying to guess the passwords of the biggest clan's baal runs, get in before it filled up, party up before someone noticed my name, and PK a lvl 90 in their own room, after they were such dickheads to anyone who isn't in their clan. There was nothing funnier than PKing someone when you weren't 'supposed to' because of guild rules, bla bla blah bullshit.

No game just invigorated you so much! And of course, I think only very, very sadistic people played on HC. You had a very small number of people who liked the challenge, and these were the type of people who made guilds just so they could get to lvl 99 Necromancer named CLANX first when the season reset, and then you had people like me, who just find pleasure in ruining other people's days, and find even more pleasure in ruining the day's of people who like to ruin people's days, and it's a fight to fuck the other over. Get it?

May sound like I'm an asshole, and yea, kinda. But playing HC was a choice, and you'd die about 30 times before even hitting lvl 70 for your first time (meaning you lost MANY chars at lvl 60) when you first start out, so anyone who played HC KNEW what they were doing, and were PKers themselves.

buy a character instead of having to play one

Also not getting to customize your character?... what the fuck am I playing LoL/HoN/DotA or am I playing Diablo? Fuck stats and all that, new generation games suck ass because they're all directed to the broad mass.
