I have not downed belial inferno yet so I should be stuck in act 2, but I had a friend invite me to the last quest in act 4, so now I can do that quest, or just start the act normally, and also join public games for this act. if you change your quest, by either making your own game on a different quest or joining someone elses game, you lose your checkpoint for that quest and can't do it. so if you want to farm it, don't change! | ||

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/5235400716 quote: And now all they hear are complaints. Did any of you people really play Diablo II, before the Lord of Destruction expansion? They've been listening to players complain for years about how Uniques, Sets, and then Runewords made the game bland, because everyone was searching for and wearing the same items, and how it put such a final goal on the game. People have been asking for Blizzard to make high-rolled Rares better than Uniques for a long time. So that's what they did, and now people complain. What gives? Listening to the playerbase just seems like damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don't. People wanted Inferno to be hard. It was supposed to be an 'endgame' mode, something that would take months, if not years, to develop the skills and farm the gear to be able to beat it. That's what people asked for, that's what Blizzard delivered, and what do we hear? People expect to just cruise on through it, just equipping whatever they find on the first run like normal mode and beat it within a week. People complained that the most efficient farming method in Diablo II was running bosses over and over, and that there was no reason to go explore the rest of the game. It was boring and repetitive, with little chance for what you wanted to drop, because you were looking for a specific item, and it had less than 0.01% chance to drop. So what does Blizzard do? Make random, challenging fights in random places through the game. Elite monsters and events, so you wouldn't get bored. And now people complain that scripted boss fights (while cool) should drop lots of good stuff every time you beat them? They want to just mindlessly farm the same thing for hours on end? While you may disagree with the exact details on how Blizzard designed Diablo III or accomplished those goals, I don't see how anyone can complain that they haven't listened to their fans. If you've been paying any attention to the Diablo community over the past couple years, there should be no question as to why they did what they did: it's what people asked them to do. | ||

I don't care if they ruined what d3 was supposed to be or whatever, because they didn't. Because this is d3. if you want d2 because it was so perfect go play it. all i see are complaints about how bad the game is and i don't get it. i'm having fun and that's all that matters to me. and that's all that should matter to you: if you're not having fun, stop playing! | ||

The only problem i have is that its down longer than its supposed to be today (maintenance day). Let's hope this is not a common occurance | ||

Oh you are right I went act 2 and now act 4 is gone, lol. Ok now it makes more sense actually. But I had not completed anything in act 4 yet, if I had I am pretty sure that it would have stuck, because I have done this plenty of times on other difficulties. edit: On my DH I only have act 1, act 2 zultun kulle and diablo as entry points on normal and nm  | ||

Yes I didn't know, thought getting a checkpoint would be enough (as the first quest on act 4 inferno is actually already really hard to complete so it is not trivial to do it that way), will do this tomorrow when my friend is back to get act 3 and 4 unlocked | ||

Well, i agree with the author that many times in my head i was wondering "what the hell took so long to make this game?" but to then go on about how it's not even worth 60 dollars is asinine. D3 ISNT as good as i thought or hoped it would be but I've already gotten more time out of it than any other non BLizzard game I've ever played... | ||

People all want games to be exactly perfect, and exactly how they want them, but everyone wants something different, so of course the vast majority will bitch about something or other. The only complaint I give much credence is the online play, which seems just ridiculous and stupid on Blizzard's part. Seriously, if the game is so fucking horrid, you wouldn't be raging about it on Blizz forums all day every day, the second servers go down. Wait... Didn't all this raging also occurred on TL? People who didn't buy the game are also complaining. One big offender is a guy who's name looks like red bacon... I wonder why he hasn't quit playing yet. | ||

I wish I could agree with you on that. I feel like the game would be great, but at a constant vacillation between 5 and 30 FPS, the game is basically unplayable for me and many, many, many other Mac users. Then add to that the countless hours of both scheduled and unexpected downtime. But this sort of complaint has nothing to do with game mechanics, sure, but still... Blizz failed here to some extent | ||
