diablo 3 (All threads merged)

[tosiek]

Its a top down dungeon crawler. You need to like those types of games to like diablo 3. Its a super simple game, you pick your class then roam around dungeons for hours leveling, picking up items, and improving your character. After you clear the game you do it again for more levels, after you finish that you try the harder difficulty to get more items, more levels and better stuff, then after that you do it again for the even harder difficulty to max level. I think they said you need to clear the game 4-5 times to get max 60. Each clear is about 4-6 hours. Anywhere from 30-60 hours to get to 60. At 60 you will be playing the hardest difficulties to get the super items to sell at the RMAH.

IMO, I think they really screwed up by not adding a random dungeon system like torchlight has where you can go for hours going down levels killing things. Dunno if they are adding something like that or not. I can see myself getting extremely bored after the second run through of the campaign.

If you like to run around killing tons of things using AOE spells and feeling super OP doing it then this is your game. All they did was make finding players to run dungeons with easier with this update and allow people to make some real money off doing so.

Take a look at torchlight 2. Im sure its going to have a smoother launch and playability, better graphics although a little more cartoony.

well said, but also like a spoiler alert lol. The way you put it makes me not want to continue playing anymore lmao, but I think they will add more stuff to it or raise the lvl cap, at least I hope....

Everything I've read indicates dungeons are randomly generated.

 

[tosiek]

Yeah sorry about that. The game is a huge blast but what i wrote is also why you hear a ton of people complaining that they are super disappointed. Especially since it took them 10 years to make this game.

The dungeons are randomly generated, but the quest line and story is the same. Go here, kill this person, all in the same dungeon setting as the first time you went through it.

Torchlight has, after the initial quest line, a random dungeon instance where you go in and every 3 levels down the whole dungeon changes and gets harder the more levels you play. This is where people go after they complete the campaign. This is non existant in diablo, you just keep replaying the campaign on different difficulties.

Is it possible for them to make D3 as expandable as WOW?

 

[Widdy]

I'll check out Torchlight 2. I played the first one quite a bit... it was a single player game if I recall. Good to see they added multiplayer.

 

[tosiek]

They still don't have a release for TL2 =( Looks like end of june but no definate.

 

[Widdy]

Oh. Guess D3 will hold me over till then.

 

[lfsmarineguy]

Knowing Blizzard I'm sure they already had people working on expansions at the time of the D3 launch.

How do you create a room?

Sorry for the merge and run this morning but I had a boat load of things going on. Anyway there were 3 D3 threads that I merged into this one so we weren't hijacking the GW2 thread (my fault sorry).

Anyway all things D3 are here! Add your battle tags and happy hacking!
