There are other groups than the ones that you mentioned. Because if those were the only groups then no one would be soloing at all. Everyone would play multiplayer and all of them including you would be at least around 3k to 4k paragon if true. I am basing it on those that would've been here since the addition of paragon 2.0 along with playing all seasons without missing a season. Further you don't account for those that play the most efficient way possible. Which doing bounties solo isn't very efficient. The most efficient way to do bounties is 4 man split bounties. Further you math is off co…

This statement doesn't mean anything.First, Diablo 3 was made without seasons in mind.Hell, we don't even know if RoS was designed with Seasons in mind.I am talking about the current iteration of this game, not in the past. Seasons more likely we're added to the game in order to cater to the D2 crowd that likes ladder resets (without understanding why ladder resets existed in the first place)... and also, so that new players, that purchase the game have people to play with.I disagree here, I say that seasons were added because the devs knew that in time there wouldn't be continual content bei…

How is the game designed around seasons? Seasons is... I would argue a small feature compared to the overall themes of the game.Seasons are based on the D2:LoD ladder resets, and these were there to achieve stable in-game economy.D3 however doesn't have trading. Seasons are about fresh start due to the crappy Paragon 2.0 and the poor handling of cheaters and bots.When the game is rendered meaningless through many poor design decisions, how many players do you think still give a damn about the rather pointless rewards associated with Seasons?It is designed to be played on and off again during s…

As if it's a company like Gazillion, that released a single game. If a game fails and company shuts down, that's one thing.But if D3 were to be shut down, while Blizzard still operates and supports their other IPs, I can absolutely guarantee you, that there will be outrage and Blizzard's rep would never recover. They are already the butt of so many jokes since last BlizzCon, and …

07/04/2019 03:21 PMPosted by ElobaCarcenWhen I say the game is dead, I don't mean, that the servers are shut down.I'm talking in terms of player base. While Blizzard don't release info on their active players in D3, there are plenty of indications that there are few thousand players left.There's plenty of controversy surrounding Blizzard since BlizzCon 2018, the fired employees and so on. They are not going to shut down the servers of a 7 year old game, because their reputation will suffer beyond repair while at the same time releasing WoW Classic and working on WC3 Reforged. Doesn't mean, tha…

07/04/2019 11:53 AMPosted by XxTaiPanxXMost leaderboards bot. Bot for bounties. Bot for mats. Bot for exp. this game is corrupt.That is easy to prove or disprove. I have to ask have you checked the profile of everyone on each of the solo leader boards to see if it is true? Because seeing time played is the only way of telling a bot from a legit player.

07/04/2019 04:34 AMPosted by Fangskin07/04/2019 04:16 AMPosted by MeteorbladeI see that you're trying to move the goalposts to how paragon levels are obtained because your claim that "everything is determined by paragon" claim has been disproved. Try sticking to one claim at a time, please.Okay, I will accept that Paragon is not everything. There are other factors such as random generation of monsters, gears, caldessan, etc. But if all those conditions are same, Paragon will make a difference.Anyway, I will accept the points made from this discussion, and create another discussion about "cappi…

07/03/2019 10:21 PMPosted by ElobaCarcenAnd because they know the game better, they didn't need additional advantages.Being a vet gives players the advantage of being able to optimize their character easier. They would be able to optimize the way that they are playing their character. Trouble is though in this game like the OP you are putting it as if Paragon is the most important thing in the game that determines your power. Actually, here you need some actual experience to talk. I started WoW back in TBC. I cought up to the players, that initially showed me the game. I wanted to be good, so …

07/03/2019 04:47 PMPosted by PhattyI want people to be rewarded for playing more and putting more into the game (the bot issue is a different problem). I don't expect nor feel entitled to be in the same spot as someone who has 10,000 hours in the game if I have just put in 1,000 myself. That's just me. i'm a no free lunch kind of guy.I am sure that you along with others are the type of people that knows that there are games where you might be able to catch up to a vet that is playing a character like D2. But that vet has rolled more characters than you. That vet has amassed more knowledge of t…

07/03/2019 03:15 PMPosted by ElobaCarcenYou don't seem to know what a straw man is.I am not strawmanning him. By what he said and the logic he exhibited, you can reasonably conclude, that to him a game in which a newer player can catch up to a veteran player in terms of strength is a broken game.While in some games you can catch up character wise. But in overall knowledge and experience you won't catch up.07/03/2019 03:15 PMPosted by ElobaCarcenBy his logic, Diablo 2 is a broken game, because I can level up to like 80 from going through the story, farm up to 90 while farming and trading for my…
