vereh excite!

The RMT AH really ruined this game for me, anyone and their grandmother is gonna be walking around decked out with phat lewtz

[kazroth]

They gutted everything from D2 to make D3 - hope it turns out alright, but I got my doubts =/

RMT has been going on forever behind the scenes in D2. This way makes it fair and equitable, and potentially provides jobs to those willing to work at it.

Diablow is schwag.

[Harrison]

No one asked you. GTFO.

Diablo 3 makes my dick hard in related news.

[Diggles]

then you havent played the beta/you dont like pvp.

[Harrison]

I don't need pvp in every fucking game I play.

I get plenty of it.

[Harrison]

AH > "illegal" sales running rampant anyways. At least this is a controlled environment.

Diablo 2 had a thriving market for ingame sales, always. This will keep it monitored and under control. (will also keep an eye on dupes)

[loserofgame]

I would rather a company try to do away with RMT completely instead of go the other way and throw their hands up & add it as a feature to the game. Don't ask me how they would go about it, but Blizzard sorta has a bit more resources to figure that out than I do.

Play HC then, no RMT AH, only gold AH.

[Harrison]

There is no way to stop it. Period.

The best way to handle it is to control and monitor it.

You of all people should know that, Mr. Pothead.

[kazroth]

Actually, I believe the game is getting a HC RMAH, no?

I don't think so, unless they changed their mind recently.

[Kassel]

Blizzard is well know for acurate release dates

Hard to take you seriously considering *to my knowledge* you still play SWTOR, horrible game is horrible. D3 beta was fun.

[Diggles]

it's either play swtor or play wow, i think swtor is the lesser of two evils.

also, I've primarily have been playing eve and tribes the past couple of weeks.

but yeah, my choice in mmos definitely effects my choice in dungeon crawlers.

SWTOR is more of a co-op game, i would hardly consider it a MMO with literally like 10-20 people per planet on Republic.

[Diggles]

what server are you on? :cool: or were on

[Sirken]

serious question.

does SWTOR have any sort of end game at all? or is the point of SWTOR to just level a bunch of toons to 50 for different story lines? what awaits a player at the end of the SWTOR rainbow?

[Hailto]

Tarentatek i think, not 100 percent sure.

[Diggles]

server might be dead, bioware kinda fucked up with the gated launch, spread people out too far. my server is populated "Crucible Pits"

Endgame is like WoW, instanced/world PVP or raids/hardmode dungeons

2 raid instances (5 bosses in each instances) can do 8man or 16man, although there's no reason to do 16man right now, the loot from 8man is exact same.

takes a couple weeks with a dedicated 8/16man crew to beat the PVE side of the game in nightmare mode (maybe a little longer for 16)

aka not worth a continued sub fee, game is fun to play for like a month/month and a half

yeah, daoc is so successful right now :D 2000 active subscribers

RMT has been going on forever behind the scenes in D2. This way makes it fair and equitable, and potentially provides jobs to those willing to work at it.

So, because RMT has also always been a part of EQ, and pretty much every other online competitive game with tradeable resources in existence, that makes it ok for a company to greedily monetize a game- which you've already paid for- in such a slimy way? Yeah. No thank-you. Two wrongs certainly do not equate to a "right."

Will not be purchasing D3 on principle alone. Screw Activision-Blizzard and Bobby Kotick.

Yeah. I'm lookin forward to GW2 ~

Chinese gold seller's dream. This game is going to be farmed up the ass, and anyone who thinks they'll be able to compete and sell items themselves is mistaken. It's going to be farmed, it's going to be hacked, it's going to be a MESS.

[Haul]

No one asked you. GTFO.

lmao

[skorge]

will be interested to see what happens with the AH in this game and watch as people start poopsocking and diaperquesting to get money IRL to spend on REAL things, lol...im sure some people will quit their jobs to play diablo 3 12 hours a day

and that's why we can't have nice things :(

still, it's a good thing I'm a girl and I play to have fun instead of needing to beat every dumbass who pays2win to feel good about myself lol

[Silentone]

Is this going to be the same as the other diablos? like group with 3 or 4 people and enter a instance? or is it more world/server type of game?

[bman8810]

This thread is full of so much fail that I don't even know where to start rectifying it.

As to Silentone - it's going to be like previous Diablo games except the number of players per instanced world will be smaller (only 4).

P.S. Skorge, how do you poopsock an instanced game world where mobs spawn every time you create a new instance of it AND item drops are per player; e.g. items that drop on your screen aren't dropping on another players screen?

i pity the fool who waits for top-down view rpgs in 2012
