So a story about possible item duping in Diablo III isn't newsworthy, it's "troll bait"? I agree with Blue. If people are exploiting the game then it's certainly newsworthy, particularly with the upcoming RMAH. It is still my opinion that Blizzard is not doing enough to address the very legitimate concerns with account hacking, especially given the extent to which their games are targeted by scammers, hackers and bots. And there are very legitimate concerns with Blizzard's use of always-on DRM, especially when people are unable to play the game and Blizzard hasn't even implemented a rudimentary queuing system.
Diablo III is a great game but it certainly has its issues. I'm still surprised the balance for Inferno is so bad considering the length of time it was in development for. And Blizzard is making pretty sweeping changes to the gem crafting system and dramatically increasing the cost of armour repairs, both being issues which should have been picked up during internal testing. |

When it's tacked on to lead in the real story instead of being put down in Etc. like you do every other day with stories like this...yea.
BTW, as has already been pointed out, it wasn't duping, and has already been fixed.

It was tacked on to a proper story as troll bait.
In previous days he has listed official Hotfixes story separately from the far more important Chinese hacker story (which btw proves the login information being stolen is coming from other sources and not Blizzards supposed lack of security).
Today he leads in with a story about an already fixed exploit, that wasn't even duping, before actually getting to the real news, which is the Authenticator will be required for the RMAH.
Blue also posted a story below about a large number of Hardcore characters due to a large lag spike. Why was that not included in this grouping of D3 news, since he was clearly combining stories?
You guys are so readily willing to attack every dev/pub out their for their behaviour. When it comes to your precious Blue, you aren't willing to call bullshit when it's right in front of you? Why am I not shocked.

Really Blue? So this was fixed in a few days instead of a few months (ie: how it was for Diablo 2), and this brings into question the benefits of always-on? /facepalm If anything is shows the benefit of it.
"They use this incident to once again question the game's inconvenient always-on DRM."
Emphasis added, though it seemed clear enough to begin with.
Right, that's why you tacked that troll bait story as the lead onto a story regarding the official terms of service being updated for the Authenticator and the RMAH.

They put way too much emphasis on the AH, and now the problems associated with such a system are starting to effect the game.
You would think with a good working AH system in one of their other games they would have gotten this one right. In WoW most of the best gear is obtained through running the end game content. The AH is good for getting geared just enough to run the end game content, but it isn't anywhere near necessary.
Also I have to say really not enjoying the gameplay in the harder difficulties. As a ranged having to kite most of the rare/elite mobs isn't a challenge its boring. I was hoping with the flexibility of the skill system you could change up your skills to deal with different kinds of elite/rares, but nope, kite kite kite
As opposed to standing there and hitting your abilities? How is that any less boring (for you)? I'm in Act 3 Hell as a Wizard and having no problems save an initial death against multi blue/yellow fights. Kiting and getting the timing down is quite fun (still) for me. I guess Inferno will change all of that, though. But for now, Hell is fun, just go all-dps  |

The glaring issue with the auction house in a game like Diablo is that items are not bound to the character and everything (save for a few things such as staff of herding + materials) can be listed.
In WoW, you only had specific items which were either bought by grinding your VP for a week + or through lucky rare drops which created a bottleneck on the distribution of 'end game' gear through purchases.
The AH is all or nothing with little to no shades of grey and the only way Blizzard seems to have curbed the sale of gear is by capping the listings at 10 items per account and a fixed listing time after the five minute warning. |

You can't blame Blue because there are problems with the game and you only want happy go lucky news reported about Blizzard products. It was a pretty valid question and there was a whole paragraph preceding the note about Terms/RMAH, it wasn't tacked on.
The scary thing is that they've been hotfixing like crazy over the past two weeks but the botting continues unabated and the economy is getting flooded with botter gold, driving up the price of items. I wonder where the break point is going to be until players find an SOJ equivalent and start to distrust gold.
Anyone know how much inferno gear goes for on the regular AH?
It depends on the ilvl and the stats but generally weapon upgrades for Act 3 and beyond are in the millions. Per slot you will pay at least 150k just to even get intro Inferno level stuff with all resist/main stat/vit. You can get cheaper stuff if you go sub ilvl-60 but it will just make getting into Act 2 much more difficult. The real problem is that upgrades only really drop in the later acts, you can farm Act 1 Inferno for days and find nothing worthwhile. I don't think most people will want to pay real life cash for a lot of these items though, they aren't much fun. Incrementing your resist by five doesn't exactly get the blood pumping to pull out my wallet anyway

To be fair this isn't really duping. They just used that word to grab views. It is an exploit, but to the crafting and checkpoint system, hardly a dupe. |

Depends on the quality. You can nab Act 3/4 gear which isn't bad for anywhere from 50k to 500k but the best gear is usually in the multi-million dollar range per item. Dropping cash on ilvl 60/61 gear found mostly in Act 1 and 2 is really just a gold sink so it's best to save a little more the expensive gear which typically has more generous stat balance.
For a Barbarian anyway. |

When are they going to add an offline mode? Can we just get an offline mode that lets you start at whatever difficulty you want, gives you gear appropriate for that level and then gives you decent drops so you can just enjoy the game? No login abilities on these characters, you're on your own for good.
Then you can go fuck with all this online bullshit to your hearts content. I despise authenticators. Tried using one for SWTOR and found it extremely annoying. |
