Equipped items will now take "wear-and-tear" durability damage at half the previous rate
Please note that durability loss as the result of normal combat is different from the 10% durability loss characters will incur when they die. Equipped items have always suffered durability loss while fighting, and we are simply slowing the rate at which the loss occurs.
Fixed several gold and leveling exploits We are simply slowing the absurd rate we increased it to on a whim without any logical reason. Also fixed bug where players could level up and obtain gold while enjoying themselves in a way we don't like, this will change daily to suit our purposes.

And you sound like a complete moron when you disregard XP. Newsflash genius - it's STILL the best system for gaming on. 11 processes, 140m pf usage. I'll bet your Vista/7 system has a minimum of 30 processes running on bootup, most of which you don't even know what they do, all of which you had no hand in optimizing.
Grow up butthurt boy, don't get all defensive about your lack of dissecting facts - it only makes you look more stupid. You're arguing with a guy who bolds system specs in his signature, it's a waste of time. If you want to run XP then you don't need to justify it to someone else, it's a perfectly valid and officially supported choice even to this day. It might not be a year from now but it certainly was when Far Cry 2 was released.
Google is your friend, use it. Try "far cry 2 mouse problems" and shut the hell up about 'my lies'. Far Cry 2 had some known mouse issues using the DirectX 10 renderer but most were only apparent in the menu system. This was likely a combination of that and some driver problems, I remember reading the same things about laggy and floaty cursor issues on the forums. If you had stuck with DirectX9 and XP you probably would have been fine, no need to dual boot.

Own your opinions, you keep using a bunch of talking points I could have cherry picked from fox news. Nanny state, liberal, Obamacare, welfare fraud, derp derp we can get that from shitty news websites. Telling people to google things is lazy and just tells other people that you didn't form your own opinions. Maybe you would help them understand what you're talking about if you actually gave them actual information to work with.
How is welfare fraud even the slightest bit important when it is a literal drop in the ocean in terms of our budgetary problems? It is a talking point to blame liberals for perceived new age laziness in our workforce, nothing more. Where's the substance? Fiscal conservatism doesn't mean shedding all government programs and supplements. |

This is the danger of politics really, people so intensely fervent yet they can't even explain how they arrived at that basis. It's yours, own it!
Prez wrote on Jun 24, 2012, 08:19: The reason I don't get bent out of shape about it is two-fold. First, given that these people are essentially the product of a failed "nanny state" initiative, it is not their fault - it's the fault of the government and society at large that created the dependency in the first place. Secondly, census data shows that at any given time, there are about 1 to 2 million welfare recipients in America. While that's probably too many, given that it's less than 1 percent of the country's population and a great many of that number are certainly not abusing the system, the number almost ends up being too small to worry about. Precisely. If only people got that worked up over banking deregulation or our burgeoning military spending. I lean pretty far toward the right but we have many people with their political priorities all out of whack. Political tit for tat is the name of the game. People no longer seem to actually understand the things they rail against. It's not about oh I hate the idea of healthcare because insert reason here, its about hating healthcare because the other party likes it. People aren't even in the drivers seat anymore, they form their beliefs based on the oppositions actions, its disgusting.

| People commit fraud via tax credits all the time but we don't do away with that whole system either. The entitlement mentality seems to run in both parties as per this discussion. Ranting about the Liberals as if they were one big party who all voted the same way on every issue is tripe. |

yonder wrote on Jun 23, 2012, 13:21: I'm dying to know if this happened before or after Hudson's BS lies about the ending. My money is on after. Based on decades of watching EA (I'm old enough to remember when they were one of the most respectable publishers out there... I also remember when Activision was), my guess is that Hudson told those lies back in January, saw that the ending wasn't done, told EA "hey, we need more time", EA said "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!", Hudson said "oh crap!", went to the developers and said "okay, do this, we don't have a choice", and gave us what we have now. Thanks, that was exactly the one I was thinking of. There are several notable videos that go into a point by point dissection of the problems and if you go watch them many relate to the sections hes referring to as being written by only two of the team members. EA ended up giving them extra time to work on the game but they only had an 18 month dev cycle which was never realistic in the first place.
I don't expect this to really fix all of the problems but hopefully it can address the painfully obvious continuity and editing problems that were left in. |

Opinions can be wrong. Your opinion fails to take into account basic continuity errors in the ending, the lack of proper exposition and introduction for NPCs that appear in the third game and logical flaws in the plot itself. You just seem fixated on whether or not they allowed sufficient choice between the series themes (Paragon, Renegade, Neutral) when that is far from the only problem with the ending. No one is mad because they didn't tell a good story, it's a series of interconnected problems.
The ending has been torn down in several dozen videos and posts already so I don't feel the need to type up 1000 words doing it. If you enjoyed it well great, you're one of the few it would seem so be satisfied. |

ItBurn wrote on Jun 23, 2012, 08:35: PC delays are a great thing. Developers always put all their efforts in the 360 and ps3 versions. These small delays make sure that they give the PC version more love, so that it doesn't suck. Actually I think they just give these a month or two of delays so that they can get a head start on piracy, given their strange obsession with it. |

NKD wrote on Jun 23, 2012, 06:08: I don't expect them to retcon their entire story out. They are "artists" after all, and part of that is expressing yourself. I'd be disappointed if they were so jaded that their own creative juices meant nothing. Even though I didn't really dig the ending, I respect that they had their own reasoning for doing it that way There was a reddit post by one of the writers that later got deleted (presumably so he could keep his job) where he said that the producer and one other guy basically came up with the ending on their own and told the team to implement it without any input or feedback. They had to go back and retroactively insert starkid into the beginning so that any part of it could make sense. Yes its a creation by Bioware and it has some artistic value but if look at the quality of the series then I suspect some idiot dreamed this up and overruled the others. |

I love that fleet arrival at earth scene. Starchild and the color coded endings were an embarrassing effort even considering the often schlocky nature of the series dialogue and plot. It left a foul aftertaste for so many, I wouldn't be surprised if this hurt future sales for the franchise as a whole. It's rare to see the internet so united in ambivalence and frustration over something. |

| I don't see any point in trying to reason with someone who says "Bamacare" and I'm not sure why anyone else does either. At that point the whole thing is already beyond salvage. Politics has always been full of crooks and rhetoric but more than ever it seems incredibly polarized which just further divides the country. For all of his many faults Obama is probably the most truly centrist politician the US will see in a long time and it's a shame that both parties have wasted the opportunity to come together for the sake of the country. |

Wowbagger_TIP wrote on Jun 22, 2012, 02:06: The loot system just seems very un-fun from everything I've heard so far, and it seems to be getting worse rather than better. Of course, to be fair, I just want to play single-player anyway, so all the inconveniences this game sets up to make that more difficult also detract from its appeal. It's very problematic. You can basically do Normal and Nightmare naked in crap gear with just a weapon but then the gear problems become more pronounced and sharing mediocre gear between alts doesn't cut it. You start looking at the gold AH for ideal gear stats but most of it is incredibly expensive due to people botting. You can bounce around Normal and Nightmare for a long time so if you have fun killing stuff that can't really kill you then it is a decent value. If you care at all about being challenged then you move up and that's where you start running into the loot problems. I played a lot of my friends Monk on Hell and Inferno, it took an insane amount of farming just to get him to the point where he could last a few seconds against things in Act 2. We took turns farming for almost 2 weeks. Then the patch arrives and undoes all of our work. Now we get tons of drops but its just deception with numbers, the majority are garbage and we get less drops from the environment and chests.
They didn't have the AH to use internally in their testing, assuming they did any testing at all, so it makes you wonder how they didn't notice all of the issues before.

Just crazy. This isn't the same Blizzard anymore, numerous examples of them treating their customers as poorly as bots.
Pretty soon they will be supervising your loot drops directly and telling you which items are ok to keep. Sorry johnny, you aren't allowed to do boss runs for items anymore, back to the Starter edition for 72 hours! |

Tanto Edge wrote on Jun 21, 2012, 00:42: An e-reader is not the same as a book. I can lend a book out, and I can't be denied access to a book by a remote server.
Buying a book from a book store will never mean it has DRM, or requires an internet connection. You can buy a wi-fi ereader and control the whole experience yourself just like a book. Ebook DRM is a bit of a joke, I use Calibre to remove DRM from purchased books if I happen to come across any and keep my library on my PC. Since I don't sync with Amazon they can't remove anything, not that they would after the last fiasco and what it cost them. I'd never buy an always online ereader as that would present a bigger risk but right now there is no way publishers can affect my experience. |

Sepharo wrote on Jun 20, 2012, 21:27: I know you're all tired of hearing this but... The major difference of course is that you didn't have to play online with D2. Multiple patches and a couple of days of downtime? I didn't even know about it... Just happily played SP. Also the patches for D2 weren't made for the benefit of the "economy".
Blizzard could've seriously dulled these D3 complaints with a proper offline SP. If you didn't like a change you could just stay at whatever patch revision you were happy with too. You could even play open battle.net with people using that patch revision. It was a great setup that catered to the most interests. There were and still are hundreds of games with singleplayer mode functionality released all the time so I never bought their modernization reasoning. Having just one mode of functionality is more of a backwards step than two. |
