Post History for Stinkyfinger#1801

What brought me to D2 was all of the stuff they didn't put in the game. PvP was our own invention, as was the economy and duplicated items, something without which the game literally wouldn't have been worth playing.I honestly think that even at that time, they didn't know how to make games. They just had the structures in place to let the game take on a life of its own.The parts Blizzard actually put into the game wouldn't have lasted a year by themselves.

Beats a kick to the jubblies though, you'll have to admit.

Mine was one of the 1h weapons that don't even have a legendary affix. Can't remember which.At least yours might have been useful for a class.

Second 1 reforge. 3rd still working on.Sounds like the most pointless use of rerolls I have ever heard of. You're better off trying to reroll some garbage to primal just to salvage it for materials.True story, when you let the goblin queen thing hit the wall, she spawns a free goblin. That means, by default, normal goblin rings are about 1/5 as effective at producing goblins as an ancient goblin ring, assuming you don't cause the ancient ring queen to produce goblins.I …

If you have found enough materials for 83 rerolls already, I highly doubt it's going to be a problem for long.With 83 rerolls worth of materials, one could probably ask how you haven't found a dozen ancients the old fashioned way by now.

I remember when Blizzard once said they had some difficulty with increasing the main bag slot size in WoW. Ever after that, every time someone suggested it, the forum knights would chime in with "it would break the primordial WoW code" and they'd berate you for calling that BS. "Well I guess you're a rockstar programmer why don't you just get a job at Blizzard and fix it for them."One lazy Tuesday, they admitted: "yea we could have changed that at any time. We just didn't know why we would want to."There are definitely times when operating under the policy of "clear as mud" doesn't work in you…

They don't pay for software though. Their OS is even free.If their government would force them to start paying for the things they use, they would be the greatest powerhouse economy by far.

I would agree that, in the beginning of D3, when you could not escape the continuous stream of insultingly stupid dialogue, Ghom was the best-case scenario."You will never defeat my minions."*defeats minions*"You will never defeat more of my minions."*defeats more minions*"You must be terrified now. My miniboss will destroy you."*2-shot the miniboss**repeat minion banter for another hour**Finally reach the boss*"You will never defeat me."*next act/credits roll*

One of the Blizzard reps says that part of the problem is that all inventory data syncs with everyone else in the game. Sounds like a weird design decision to me, though it was probably a security implementation for a time when trading was once a thing.In D2, they used to spoof items in the trade window, which caused people to trade very valuable things for what ended up being nothing.Now that they don't have trading, they can just store all of the image information client-side and not care about what people have in their stashes. Problem solved and they can increase stash space into infinity.
