Updated: Oh path of exile, looks sick now to find a way into it's beta already more excited for it than d3 http://www.pathofexile.com Ohh man that game looks so good. Interesting its free to play as well, I wonder how the actual game plays. Being a free game and all there's probably going to be micro translations for a lot of stuff. I hope that doesn't affect the overall game play. | ||

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. | ||

Then you're blind or oblivious. I could see every inch of every screen in D2 with the default light radius - nothing "snuck up on me" and I was using the normal gamma settings. You're just blowing this way out of proportion. D2 already made the world of Diablo FAR brighter and more colorful that Diablo 1 ever was, and D2 in general was a pretty bright game in most areas. This complaining is just getting ridiculous. | ||

Well I don't care if there's D3 talk in the PoE thread or if there's chocolate talk in the peanut butter thread, I just pointed out that there is (or will be) too much PoE talk in the D3, feel free to go to other threads and "pseudo mod" around there yourself, but I'm coming here for D3 info and if I want to see PoE I go to the PoE thread. I'm not saying they should all get banned or anything, but knowing how X vs Y discussions tend to pan out (hi@LoL/DotA/HoN) I'd rather have them stop now than 50 pages later. :| | ||

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... 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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

I played HC and I never went out of my way to PK someone... thats not to say I wouldn't back down from a fight but there is more options than PK and noob. Well, I suppose I did PK a few people, but that was more of a redemption kind of thing. I'd be the guy hunting you down after you killed players from my clan. I do have to agree though, HC had an atmosphere to it that I have never experienced again... maybe Runescape before they killed the wild, but even that isn't quite the same. Nothing quite like testing your metal against someone else for all to see. Well, six others... and maybe all the people you brag to afterwards. I must say though, while PoE looks interesting, that third screen hurts my eyes. Wtf why would you choose that color pallet? A game shouldn't have to make your eyes bleed for you to see that it is a gritty world full of injustices. Infact, I think the environment itself, the characters present, and the music set the atmosphere much much better. Case in point, the scariest games I ever played was the first Diablo 2, and Amnesia. Both games are terrifying, but it isn't because your screen is dark... it is scary because of the gloomy music, the world without hope, and the idea that anything around any given corner can kill you at any given moment. I think most people can relate to loading up Diablo 1, going into the church and dying mercilessly to the Butcher. "FRESH MEAT!!" Or in Amnesia, being completely isolated, yet being unable to fight back against anything you come accross. Not knowing what is real, what is your imagine, who/what/where that creepy noise is coming from... coupled with the ever terrifying moans for mercy from people you have yet to see. And what both games did that tied it all together was that excellent musical score. Sure both games were kind of dark, but you don't come away thinking the world is a cruel unforgiving place because the lights are out. That is just ridiculous. | ||

Fuck stats and all that, new generation games suck ass because they're all directed to the broad mass. Where have you seen that you can't customize your character? The only difference is that the customization in Diablo 3 is more fluid. You can swap things in and out and customize much easier. | ||
