Blizzard has brought her back to Mid-night.Can Death become Death again? Please. #TotalCosmicForceExterminatus('Words do still have meaning.' - Director Krennic)I swear, each new expansion proves that Lord Garithos was right.If only Erebus (Void) wins and purges the current lame and cringe reality of Azeroth...
Elf-phobic bump.
I quit giving a shit about Blizzard when Diablo 3 came outLiterally not my problem
>>3985641Why Diablo 3 was so hated? What changed between D2 and D3?
>>3986022>Why Diablo 3 was so hated?>What changed between D2 and D3?1. It wasn’t made by the developers d1 and d2, it was made by the WoW team2. Real Money Auction HouseSupposedly they later made the game better after years of patches, but I had sworn it off by then
>>3986022
>>3986300I should add that it was a sign of the times. This was when increasingly many games was getting always-online requirements and piecemeal monetization, so the reaction towards D3, the sequel to a beloved game, getting this treatment was very hostile. It was, at least at first, also just plain worse than D2 in every way on top of frequently having connection issues.
>>3986022I played both for the first time in recent years, but I went in order of release starting with Diablo 1.>Diablo 1best in the series but least amount of content and qol, more of a one and done game unlike whatever the genre it created devolved into>Diablo 2Flawed, unbalanced, frustrating and slow but somehow still the best game in its genre overall.It took me several tries to get into it and finally beat the game on hell but once you do and you learn mechanics more it's like crack cocaine. It's still simple mechanically compared to what comes after, but it has enormous variety if you don't care about meta builds. Best classes in terms of vibe too. I have by far the most hours in it and I don't think I'll be done anytime soon>Diablo 3eh it's ok but it's a very casualized experience, in Diablo 2 you wanted several things that improved your character in various ways but not all items had everything so you had to compromise and decide which is more important to you know and so on, in Diablo 3 everything scales with weapon damage and the different stats etc seem to be purely cosmetic, you always want number up and all items give the same statsinstead of kino gothic horror of Diablo 1 or dark low fantasy globe trotting adventure of Diablo 2 you get WoW: the ARPG with shiny shit and cartoonish proportions everywhereit's also always online, including the "solo" charactersunlike Diablo 2 where you could have as many skills as you wanted you can only use 6 and when you level up everything is pre-chosen for you, you just need to decide what skill you want to use and you sometimes unlock new ones or modifiers for itIt's still fun to blast a bunch of shit with no cognitive functions involved but it doesn't give you the same high/ obsession because nothing matters as much as it did in D2 where a good drop could radically alter your build and performance
>>3986301I never played Diablo 3, but I remember when it launched and there were constant rage threads on /v/ by people who couldn't play singleplayer because the servers were overloaded.
I hate the WC3 Orc rewrite which also made it's way into WoW. That shit is garbage. They go from violent alien killing machines to le poor oppressed green men. Lord Garithos' only mistake was that he let his guard down around an Elf.
Arthas, who was bad guy, is doomed to be oblivarated from existance while everyone spits on him and talks shit, even "heroic" figures like Uther, while Sylvannas, who arguably even worse bad guy than Arthas, gets forgiven because, she has pussy.I hate blizzard, they can fuck off.
>>3988552>/v/ by people who couldn't play singleplayer because the servers were overloaded.Xbox version was unironically the best version because it didn't need the online DRM.
>>3988544>frustrating and slownot in the earlier patches before they "balanced" it for online play with LoD expansion. in earlier patches , it was easy to abuse the fast hitting skills like Amazon's Jab and Paladin's Zeal.
>>3986022>team of proto-wokoids/sjws hence the rainbow cow levels which were blatantly done to dunk on og d2 fans who wanted to keep the grimdark aesthetic and not trade it in for wow/disney. Like many sjw devs of the era they thought it was cool to make the original fanbase hate them, this included stupid decisions like killing off deckard cain whose lines still permeate wow quest lore, and killing him off by some throwaway tranny butterfly boss on top of that because let's stop the le patriarchy or something. No one will ever convince me otherwise.>infinite grind to keep magic items stupidly rare thus trying to solve for cash shop by actiblizz woketivists, this was before they figured out the blizz token and how to keep people buying skins and mounts in wow>i mean stupidly rare even with the fastest builds you were still looking at weeks to never of grinding to get the few well rolled legs worth a damn>scarcity of items and boring builds with shallow buggy mechanics made all this worse>your build was meant to be an afterthought to the item and hence the almighty rmahThey eventually scrapped all this idea and fired the woketivists but you can't really rebake a cake that tastes very good out of a turd.
>>3984927wow, imagine still caring about this dogshit game/company.
I remember thinking "why are the writers keeping this annoying side character around" all the way back when Warcraft 3 came out and she gets resurrected as a named banshee unit in the undead campaign.
