I've heard SOASE: Rebellion is way, way overpriced for people that already have Diplomacy.

Plus, aren't modders supposed to be too stupid to do the frostbyte 2 engine?

Now the question is: do I pick up Warlock: Master of the Arcane now, or do I hold out and hope it goes on sale during the Steam summer sale?

Stopped here as you are wrong. I distinctly remember a large amount of bitching and pleas to boycott over expansions going all the back to bf1942. This made more sense back then as there was a thriving mod community, unlike now.

Obviously you were not around back then, or were blissfully unaware.

You're missing the big picture here. The fragmentation is caused by a "movement", and if you're buying DLC then you are not supporting that "movement."

The "movement" is, do not buy DLC.

That's what mod tools and people are for; the people make the new content, not the corporations...

Then they all go on to say the game is great, give it a 9/10 and advise people to go out and buy it. All of them. Its like they swallowed some kind of mind-altering, Blizzard-slave making drug. Its like if that stuff was present in any other game but Diablo 3 it would be getting a 6 or 7. Instead, it gets a 9.

That's the problem in a nut shell, in Diablo II, uniques were exactly that unique and usually the high end one's were powerful. In Diablo III it's oh hope the randomize dice roll plays nice for you.

I couldn't agree more with this sentiment. I was playing D2 earlier this year. I just got out my disk and installed. Will Blizzard still be around in 12 years for me to play D3 if I buy it today?

It's weird, on the server selection screen it's saying both my client and the server are 1.6. I figure that's what the yellow ! is implying though, that it's not? The only green light I have seems to be a small server that's running something different from the others.

I'm just making sure everything is updated. I guess after that I'll have to wait?

I get an error saying the server isn't running the right version, or something along those lines, even though everybody else seems to be connected just fine.

Well, for one, Skyrim's setting has some pretty heavy Norse inspiration, which isn't something you see very often. Also, the Elder Scrolls lore is pretty deep and there's a lot of interesting history there. There's also a great diversity of races. In Amalur, there's nothing really notable about the setting and there are basically two races: humans and elves. There's nothing interesting about the lore or the politics. The fact that the next Amalur game was going to be an MMO really comes as no surprise, as the generic setting is all too standard for that genre.

You see this stuff on the AH because people are getting it to drop and that's just the stuff they decide to sell.

You see this stuff on the RMAH because BLIZZARD and ACTIVISION are CRAFTING and POSTING ITEMS and that's just the stuff they decide to sell. - FTFY

You're making the mistake of thinking people are forced to use the AH... You don't need optimal gear at every moment to get by... People do it, but don't need to... )

Fair enough, but 'min/max' players make up the majority of Action RPG gamers from my experience. People for whom it's about the journey (like myself) tend to be in a distinct minority. From the way I've seen the loot system in D3 described at length by many posters in several different threads it seems like the majority of players would be compelled to use the auction house. Call me a cynic, but given that Blizzard is taking a cut of every transaction, that smells like a design decision, not happenstance.
