Diablo III Hotfixes and More

[Jun 09, 2012, 5:19 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

The Diablo III Website outlines some new hotfixes applied to Diablo III. These once again carry a warning that these note may contain spoilers for anyone who has not completed the action/RPG, but this is a generic warning that doesn't really apply in this case. Gold drops form ash post and vases have been nerfed, leading to complaints that this prevents players from being able to farm them as before for the gold required to buy the items from the auction house required to play the game at the hardest levels, which seems illustrative of some balance issues yet to be worked out. Also, the I am (we are) Diablo III thread on Reddit is live where game designers Wyatt Cheng, Andrew Chambers, and Jay Wilson all discuss the present and future of the game.

Got bored of this already, game has little depth or longevity. Loot is boring even at the Inferno levels, I think that's my biggest complaint. They completely lost sight of what made people return to Diablo over and over again. My DH has beaten Inferno with a complete set of gear so I went back and made a Monk to see how the melee side of things is. As before, it's very poorly balanced with Normal and Nightmare practically being the same difficulty and Hell not being much of an increment while Inferno literally is like trying to climb K2 in the winter after Act 1.

Some elite pack modifiers are literally unbeatable with the best gear which shows how little time went into actually playtesting this stuff, I feel like I should get a little rebate for beta testing Inferno for them. Anyway I got into Act 3 Inferno on the Monk and decided to call it quits, the game really needs more work and more importantly they need to put some thought into making it enjoyable again instead of taking the nerf bat to both drop rates and farming. It's funny they can hotfix so many things related to loot/farming except you know, making it decent again. Oh well, hopefully 1.0.3 changes things drastically.
