1.0.7 tomorow!!!

[blista08]

Ppl liked it because at theese times they got no alternative, if blizzard thinks that now they can put solution similar to game from 12 years ago, they are in grave mistake, LoL, Dota, Poe will swallow their pathetic "brawling" without chewing. Not to mention that they are now obviously catering to kids which need to be given candies to maintain their attention, making pvp "just for fun" and hoping that thees ppl will be plaing like that is like hoping for world pvp in wow for sake of itself, and guess what ? There is no world pvp in WoW, only in BGs where you can earn gear, titles and acheivements.

Imagine if they implemented a DOTA style game that you played your D3 char on? You got xp for "champ kills", xp for the mobs, and have drop chances just like farming your normal routes. That's what they need to do to restore the game. Shit loads of people would be coming back.

This game is garbage patches wont fix that, we botters are 1/3 of the population. and i bet 90% of us still wont actually play the game so why would anyone else want to

 

[Eisenberg]

Not resorting to anything. Just stating the obvious. Wasn't meaning to hurt your poor feelings. I was being honest that you make me laugh is all.

Oh, I'm no longer the school boy. I teach the little shits. My full time job...and that is a fact.

Nowhere im saying that youre school boy, oh dear what terrible times we got now when they allow functional analphabet to teach children...

I wouldnt play this game even if they implemented naked women pictures in it, im here just for the profit, and frankly im simply irritated by fact that while World of Warcraft and Diablo 2 were profitable for years, clumsy devs totally wasted so great opportunity. After reading their "ask the devs" article iv came to conclusion that last ray of hope for this game is to fire entire dev team, before they start working srsly on xpac, and hire new ppl who alrdy made succesfull and respected rpg and h&s for that task.

Lets hope we get a quick update to the bot!

 

[Borhot88]

last beta db will not work on 1.7 patch or what?

 

[aaron913]

I don't think the ones that currently work with 1.0.6 that are available to everyone will work - could be wrong

 

[Maxasy]

Nope, offsets change with patches at the least - they will need to update the bot.

 

[aaron913]

no maintenance message yet on home screen :O

 

[kowalus23]

Aye, there was no patch at the moment I think it will be this night, same as WoW.

 

[Dbuddy]

what a small and short-dated announcement... *tststs*
the patch must be crap, otherwise blizzard would make the announcement bigger and earlier

but anyways: i am happy, maybe business will work a bit better now...

This is an amazing idea I sometimes wonder myself. However, they're doing dota style sc2 so its wishful thinking to happen in d3. The fact that they lost DOTA in the first place goes to show how much they really care. Maybe now that league (poe? lol wut?) is most pop game they will try something, but I doubt it. They'll all too busy playing World of War*****.

SERVERS ARE OFFICIALLY DOWN!

I didn't know 1.07 was today so I sold like 10 000 rubies at like 2k, oops.

 

[LetItRain]

Anyone know when patch is for EU?

 

[ElPaintero]

Probably tomorrow, LetItRain. They usually patch EU 1 day after US. Just look on Blizzard service forum? Anyway, I've saved up radiant star amethysts. Everyone's gonna want them to get more vitality for dueling. ElPaintero's going to be a rich man.

After reading patch notes, and details about their "BRAWLING" (devs have made big issue with changeing name from dueling to this, they are that stupid) im like this :
[video=youtube;dsx2vdn7gpY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsx2vdn7gpY[/video]

Srsly:
- half slots can be now equipped with boa crafted items, which severly limits options to sell stuff at RMAH for good prices.
- no gold sikns, hardly can we view crafting boa items for 150k per item or unequping marquise for 5 mln as such, therefore no perspective of selling gold again in Eu
- no real pvp, this uninteresting "brawling" with no purpose, no goals, no rewards, no matchmaking, no even ranking or kill counter of any kind conducted always in same, small area is either symbol of d3 dev team incompetence, or proof that their are sabotaging d3 for some reason.

Overall this patch has done more to ruin profitability of this game than all banweaves combined, while not making it more attractive for ordinary players to the slightest.

I never said I would play the game. I'm stating that it would be nice if they implemented something like that to bring back their playerbase.

D2 pvp never served any real purpose -- yet it kept people addicted to the game . Furthermore, I feel the opposite of you. This patch will increase profitability by a little amount over the next couple of months. Monks are going to be the "bot kings" with their massive spike in damage for tempest rush (and as of right now, they're not modifying set bonuses, yay). Finally, the BOA items WILL increase gold, gem, and other item values for 2-3 months to come. By then, I'm sure they'll introduce another patch. I'm assuming you never played D1 or D2 when they released. Same heap of muff garbage.

The BoA items are a gimmick at best - they will attract people for a week. We might see gold hit .28 on the weekend, then crash right back. Brawling isn't bringing anyone back - out of the 50+ guys i work with or go to school with that played big time at launch and now play PoE - not a SINGLE one is interesting in coming back. Brawling was terribly executed - no matchmaking of any kind, no lobbies, fuck, I can't even just 'brawl' my friend in a game together, we would have to quit and make a special game. Then you look at the Dev Q&A and it's just more upsetting - shitty reasons for all the horrible decisions they've made and no good info on what's coming. As far as I am concerned this game is fully dead until at least the actual expansion, and even then - without ridiculous changes your profitability is going to decline fast.

Also, about your D2 at launch comment, it was not perfect, but due to good itemization and no pay-to-play the game did very well right away, the bottom line with early D2 is that fact it was still FUN, D3 never was. There is the reason D2 kept a HUGE player base through those early days. People who think this absolute garbage patch to an all-but-dead game will help are out to lunch.

D2 launch was not fun off the get go. The only thing that fixed D2 in the first place was the expansion . The game was buggy at best for quite a while before they started fixing shit up and implementing stuff.

Hell, the economy was screwed really early in with hacked and duped items out the wahzoo too! Remember white items and the mass duplications? The only items worth a shit was a white ring for a long period of months.

Could u explain how could that happen if crafting single boa item cost overall merely 150.000 (one hundred and fifty thousands) gold, and iv seen ppl getting ms + trifecta amulets after about 50 tries ? If anything, we might sell some gold to ppl crafting marquise for weapons in helmets which cost 20 mil for first few weeks and thats all.

lol -- the day they released the patch notes on BOA items, the values of nearly all gems increased 4-5 fold. You do remember this, don't you? =P

Hell, flawless emeralds went 2500~ to like 13-14k for a day.

In such case ppl will buy gems straight from RMAH, and gold on eu wich is selling badly right now will become worthless.

As far as i know (cuz i dint played this game at all, which is my grave mistake, otherwise i would type from my villa in french riviera right now) in d2 you got at least some sort of scores for player killing and troophies (ears or something), for brawling u got nothing.
