PC Gaming bro, a lot of good titles out there. Let's hope Torchlight 2 is better than D3!

The reviews I have been reading are looking promising.

This is unfortunate. Haven't been playing much at all. Life has been getting in the way, but this game doesn't seem to keep me hooked like D2 did.

From skimming I can see two things from the patch update that irk me:
1.) DH (the only class I've played) has been nerfed badly?
2.) It now costs wayyy too much to repair, using up pretty much all of peoples gold reserves, thus forcing them to use the RMAH instead of the gold auction house.

I refuse to pay actual money for a virtual item that can be dropped in a game. I was afraid that when the RMAH came online it would render the gold auction house pretty much useless. I assume that's correct?

They've taken trading, one of the best parts of D2, out of the game. No pimple popping basement dwelling teen will sell items on the gold auction house or trade, when they can get real money for drugs instead.

Jacked this from the forums, pretty funny:

First, thank you for addressing so many of the important issues in this patch. After playing a couple of quests tonight, however, I've realized that the fight against exploiters will never truly be won.


DPS is still way out of control - in some cases I've even seen players kill certain monsters before they were killed themselvesPeople are still taking advantage of skills with unintended effects such as increased survival, damage output, and situation controlThere are several chests that continue to drop gold when opened; there are also still other, more nefarious means of gold farming, such as killing enough monsters that you actually MAKE more gold than your repairs costI personally witnessed an incident where a player found a yellow item, and when they identified it, it had stats that could be exploited to increase their combat effectiveness - for the class they were playing at the time.Some gear seen on vendors still had stats other than Vitality that could, in the hands of an insidious agent, theoretically be employed toward the end of making combat easier (less dying, and in extreme cases, more killing)Bosses are still able to be killed by players - I don't have screenshots to prove this, but it is happening. Hopefully your data analysis can pick it up.Some bosses and rares are failing to properly spam stun, wall, poison, set afire, teleport into pools of acid, knockback, slow, and freeze players simultaneously while they teleport-kite the player at supersonic speed, carpeting every square inch of the zone with toxic ooze and letting their invulnerable minions with boss powers one- and two-shot us.I personally was able to set up a bizarre configuration in the auction house search panel where I could find items with specific stats and also be able to sort them in a way that was not effectively random.A friend of mine told me they were playing with some person earlier who - and I'm just the messenger here - seemed like they might be having fun while playing the game. I don't know how true this is, but if it's even a possibility, god help us all.

I'm just trying to do my part to ensure this kind of disgusting and cowardly behavior gets stamped out as soon as possible. If there's anything I hate in a game, it's feeling like I'm getting more powerful and that my time and efforts are culminating in some kind of... /shudder... progression. I'm in this for the frustration and disappointment, 100%, and I stand behind you with every patch that brings us closer to those ideals.

Keep up the great work.

Ya today fricking sucked... and I really liked D3

I can't bring myself to play today. I think I'm done.

ETA: really pains me to even say that, I've been waiting for this game for years but a shite game is a shite game

I just started this game, lvl 14 and man, I'm reading these posts in their forum and damnnnn the players are fricking pissed! I just went on and my character, who never dies, got wiped twice in Act I!!! enough for me to stop playing...and so i went to the forum and re-read posts...the fricking blue posters seem not to even give a shite. I recall one saying "we think you won't have fun if we kept it like it was." WTF?!?!!!? Blizzard really knows how to frick over a great thing.

LOL...I must suck more than i thought, then BUT I WAS AWESOME BEFORE! (and my server disconnect kind of upsets me as well)

WTF Nerf Normal Act 1!!
