unreal25 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I watched some gameplay videos online and I liked it a lot. Kind of missing old Diablo... I had great time with that game, playing it on a LAN party with friends. What concerned me a little is that Blizzard just announced they are making a special Auction House where you will be able to trade items for real money. Further, they'll tax putting the items on the AH, successfully completing the AH transaction and even more they'll take some more money before you finally get credited on a credit/debit card. Also, constant internet connection and no LAN option.... just doesn't seem very attractive. Your thoughts? I think this will put gold farmers on a whole new level. Now you can actually earn real money directly by grinding gold in the game. Seems like an awful idea to me. http://www.mmo-champion.com/content/2397-Diablo-3-Auction-House-Announced-Spend-and-Earn-Real-Life-Money!

mw86 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Unreal I feel the same way, the Auction idea is ridiculous for those who want a authentic game experience. I look forward to the game anyway thoug, I will play it anyway but will stay away from the AH. Other than that downfall I am looking forward to this game and also a fan of the series.

Wujtas Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Blizzard has just announced that in march 2014 they will remove auction house from the game. Im looking forward for expansion (REAPER OF SOUL) and LOOT 2.0 cause gear that we can fing is too simple and repetitive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Michael Posted October 8, 2013 Founder Share Posted October 8, 2013 Quit it a while ago. Waaay too repetitive. Got quite good gear left on my wizard, didn't even try to sell it. Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipper9117 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Diablo 3 was a disaster quest-wise and loot-wise but the overall gameplay I enjoyed and that is was so simple to join a party with my friends.....however I really liked to be able to play on a LAN with some friends and slashing away like madmen in the darkness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoeser Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Diablo 3 is garbage, seriously. Reinstall Diablo 2 if you want to play Diablo. You'll spend the first 50 hours of D3 playing on ridiculously easy difficulty levels, then you'll get to challenging difficulty levels and find yourself being FORCED to buy gear in the auction hall to clear content. Worst. RPG. Ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapselpilot Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Path of Exile is a really great alternative if you want to play an ARPG. Monstrously large talent tree that all classes share, free to play, great developers... it's worth checking out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajnindlo Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Path of Exile looks interesting. One review said the multiplayer was good, but the solo play was not good. Also it is free to play? Those worry me, as you need to spend to win. Is it fun in solo play without spending any money? Oh, and that skill tree has to be seen to be believed, serriously, wow.

Although it is F2P, the paying members don't have an incredibly unfair advantage. Also, the F2P content is huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwaway Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I just started up in PoE again, after playing a bit of the closed beta. It feels the same for the most part, which I guess is fine, but the animations and "feel" is still really clunky feeling. But, it's a fun diversion after playing way too much D3. Looking forward to the EXP for D3 a lot more than playing tons of PoE . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanceTheeGamer Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Just for clarification, yes Path of Exile is "Free to Play," but it's not "pay to win." Most of it's micro transactions are cosmetic (for example glowing weapons/armour, or an elemental effect on your sword) and the only thing that isn't cosmetic is increased storage for you stash (basically the "bank" that all character on your account can access). Even without that purchase you should be fine for quite awhile, as the stash has four fairly large sections. The only gripe I have with PoE is that it's online only. However considering what you're getting for free I can look past that (unlike with Diablo III). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidh8998 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 New expansion coming out for diablo soon. They're bringing back the diablo 2 feel with full customization. Hopefully it'll make the game fun to play again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonmorris04 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 The new D3 2.0 patch is like a new game. Months ago I bought a weapon for 1mil gold on the auction house and it was the best I could find. I got a new weapon off of an elite within half an hour of playing the new patch and its much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sljbindie Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Is anyone bummed that they didn't announce a controller support for the expansion? I feel like this game was almost made to play with a controller after my experiences with the console version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks interesting from skill standpoint as there are so many builds to choose from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerrox0 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Path of Exile is a nice alternative to Diablo, played it alot more then diablo 3. I just find the Endgame to be pretty unrewarding. The time from level 30 to level 70 was the most fun for me, you could always find something new and progressed a decent amout for the time you invested. After that it gets extremly grindy, in 3 hours playing I found maybe 2 chaos orbs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerrox0 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I think they could have done so much more for the expansion. I still have the feeling they need some kind of endless dungeon, or something that gets progressively harder, not just by switching difficulty. I'm not sure yet wether the addon is worth buying :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
similarion Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Hopefully RoS will make the game a lot more exciting. Even with the new patch, it feels like a grind... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zizicool1 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Try the newest Diablo 3 patch it makes the game so much better. Unfortunately it is still online only DRM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanceTheeGamer Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 They really need to change there stance on online only DRM. I will buy Diablo 3 and all its expansions the day it no longer has online DRM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizz has no plans to change that.On another note, is anyone going for the expansion? I feel it's more like a DLC thus doesn't justify the price they are asking for it.
