People actually enjoyed the story? I felt like that was the one area where they completely dropped the ball, it was borderline self-parody at times (Act 2 was absolutely hilarious). They should have gone the D2 approach with cool cinematics once in awhile and letting your imagination fill in the rest. The in-engine event spam is simply annoying btw.

If i have the starter edition can I still post some negative sh*t and not be counted as one of those who "post sh*t but do not own the game" ?
just a just question.

I'm pretty sure a bunch of the D3 team worked on D2 but anyway. His biggest complaint seems to be with the story and that's not something they can fix up with patches. I mean hey, it's never been a strong point in the Diablo franchise but its new levels of unintentional camp/bad in this one. Oh and *turns lever and gets pointless 5 second event* Less is more with the story in Diablo games.
Besides, D2 and WoW grew over several years so big content patches aren't necessarily going to come fast and furious. People waited a decade for the game, no surprise some aren't happy when they feel their expectations weren't met.
Also Ouch!.

I feel like a fucking retard for buying it.
Yeah sure coop is fun, but working people aren't often online at the same time.
The story is just plain bad, even Bioware would write a better one.
Then the disconnects, lags etc.
60 Euros wasted.
It's not like D2 was Shakespeare or anything.

Instead we get a game that falls flat on several counts. I'd be pretty pissed if I had bought it, but since I didn't I can just comment on the game and be glad that I didn't shell out the cash. If I want to play an online only game like this that has a lot of issues, I can play PoE for free.Wowbagger_TIP wrote on May 25, 2012, 09:32:xXBatmanXx wrote on May 25, 2012, 08:46:Yes, that was my point. Good for me. I'm not bitching about it. I'm just observing what others have said about it and I'm glad that I didn't pay to deal with those issues, as they are quite significant issues to me. I don't see a problem with that, but if you want to be defensive about it, well, good for you?
We are enjoyign it, and you are bitching about something you don't own. Good for you.
Really? You have something like 40 posts in a week talking about a game you don't have!

It's really weird because every time I read about you guys not getting any drops to help your characters, all I see is drops that can upgrade or sidegrade my current gear as I progress. Now I havn't dumped as much time(damn work) but I've gotten through Normal on 2 characters without going to the AH once. The problem is not the loot, but the player wanting to min/max stuff. ALL stats help you, just some more then others. I saw people complaining about having 1 wasted stat on a 6 stat gold so they didn't see it as an upgrade. Oh wait that wasted stat was more health on health orb pick up.(Not really a waste) I know my stash is filled with gear because it's hard to choose which to wear or I swap it out depending on what I need at the time.
Also I've never had a disconnect issue, and very min lag for an online game(Maybe 1-2 sec of rubber then clears up).

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.
