And now here the logic does not follow. Or, like, there is no logic. Let's see - let's start in order of importance - "most players"? Says who? Second - "most players" - duh, a lot of people may not like D3 but there are still people playing it. We can have a very brief think and come up with the conclusion that some people still like D3. So therefore, why won't they like the expansion? Onto the next, what exactly is funny about that? It's how things go - some people dislike a game (or even a movie, book, whatever), others don't. And somebody not liking a product doesn't make it funny that another person who does...well, likes it.davidchal said:
And now to a more major point - Reaper of Souls comes with a whole legion of changes. The experience is supposed to be vastly different than the vanilla D3 - in fact, some would even say "improved". From what I've seen, Blizzard started addressing issues people had with D3 there - the auction house is gone, the drops are readjusted and improved, there are actually random generated levels, etc. It now looks more like D2 which is still a measuring stick in the ARPG world. Heck, it's probably the measuring stick - most top down hack'n'slash ARPGs I've seen have been compared and contrasted to D2 even to this day. Indeed, this was the core of a lot of the criticism to D3 - it was too different from its predecessor. So in conclusion - not liking D3 but being interested in RoS is not actually "strange" or, dare I say it - "hilarious". Blizzard are not stupid, you know...well, OK, maybe it's better to say not very stupid - they do listen to feedback and they aim to improve.
I'd go ahead and assume that's supposed to be a question. I don't know - I'm on the fence. I may get it to play it with a friend. I do think the changes are good, and I was one of the people who hasn't played D3, though I had other more personal reasons not to, even before error 37, the RMAH and other commonly cited stuff. I think I could say that my concerns were somewhat addressed, so therefore, I can now give it a go. The problem now is if I want to or not but as I said, I may get it to play with a friend - I doubt I'll get it if I will be playing alone.davidchal said:
I'm gonna buy it because I can't wait for loot 2.0 and I want to play the Crusader class. I am one of the few that actually was not appalled by how they made Diablo 3.
I liked the story and I'm looking forward to see where it goes next. Now if only I could save some money to buy Book of Tyrael and Storm of Light before release.

I've already preordered the collector's edition and, now that I'm filthy rich, I'm tempted to buy another for every person I still see whinging about the game a year and a half after it released and donate said CE to the Salvos or something.
Come at me bros, I'll smash youse.

Definetly not.
It might bring a lot of fixes, but I was so fucking disappointed with the game that I can't be arsed. Grim Dawn is coming soon(ish) and will hopefully give me my fix.

Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. Diablo 3 is imo, a watered down dragons age origins with coop, Crappy story telling, dated controls and a subpar plot. No thanks. All of those people who complained about d3....this is your chance to vote with your wallet

I don't exactly see what's so hilarious. Reaper of Souls is supposed to fix most of the issues people had with the game. In other words, it becomes appealing for those who damned it. Considering people STILL want a worthy sequel to Diablo 2 (and RoS seems to be going in the right direction) it would be weird if people didn't buy it.
And I'll probably buy it myself, if the new loot implementation isn't crap.
Act 2 will be released early next year via Steam Early Access and the 4th playable class was recently added.DanielBrown said:
For me it was a similar story except I got early access to the Beta thanks to a competition by The Escapist. It was enough to make me not bother with getting it.
I purchased Diablo 3 on launch day.
I took a Monk to inferno Act 1 LONG ago before the difficulty nerf that made it much much easier and before paradigm levels and all that. I got the full force BRICK WALL that was the original Inferno, I quit not long after getting to this point and haven't touched it since.
The items are STILL boring and copy-pasted from WoW. Grinding for hours for +1 Dex isn't fun. Unless they decide to completely redesign the entire loot system, there is absolutely zero chance I'll EVER play Diablo 3 again, regardless of any other changes to the game. Its a loot based game with terrible loot, there is no reason to play it.

i'm a solo player most of the time, and D3 was a worth successor to D2 in my mind, although i did think it was shit to go through a full playthrough before it even became remotely difficult a little insulting - plus 3 more playthroughs to inferno, and i was to lvl 60 before the end of hell... i wish i could just start at nightmare difficulty. i like the mix and match as you go leveling so i could never fuck my build up. the lack of rare level equipment was annoying at most - it was only obvious when i got to like paragon lvl 10 and realized i'm still not getting many rare drops.
i got the witch doctor to 60, a wizard to ~40 and played around with a monk and found it to be fun with each class, with enough cool options for each for me to build how i wanted and not feel gimped - quite the contrary most of the time.
even though it was colorful, i thought everything harkened back to something from D2, and i liked the implementation of the hell and heaven levels.
so, i'm not sure about the crusader class yet, but i'm looking forward to trying the expansion with my old characters, and maybe even trying a hardcore character for once.

Knew about the early access, but not that they were gonna keep adding stuff like that.Ed130 said:
Think I'll keep away until it's all done though. Would rather experience everything the first time rather than going through the same content over and over, while waiting to be able to progress.
Definitely no.
My sole reasons (other than to try it out) for getting it in the first place was to co op with my mate and since he didn't keep up his end of the bargain and I end up disliking the game overall, I have no intention of buying the expansion unless it was really cheap and I had run out of games to played.

Yes. I will Buy it. the game got a new director and he doesnt have his head up in his ass and he knows whats wrong with the game and what needs to be balanced.. from all the info ive read/gathered the last few months(past year) it seems they are turning D3 back around to what it SHOULD have been from the start. Even removing the auction house.. was a instant buy of RoS for me.
