We're all working our hardest to improve the communication pipeline, and this particular cause brought to light some areas that need improving.This is not the key point. Don't change the subject. The 400 posts in this thread are right on the key point.

Complete bull!@#$ and lack of integrity from the company, %^-*ting on PC players who play the game.I have maxed the 4 and won't be farming anymore.

Yeah I know about maintenance mode, so basically the Switch version is just more of the same (seasons 16, 17 ad nauseam) but allows people (new and old players) to play on a different platform?

More D3 endgame content and classes/builds otw?Is anyone getting excited about this? I love D3 but have also grown tired of the game, unless they are really going to shake things up and introduce new end-game content.

I don't miss D2 one bit.There are a few endgame things to do in D3 but they do not make it a sandbox. In fact the contrary. D3 is entirely a tightly scripted game where the devs tell you exactly what you can play and can't play.Some of my best memories in D3 were the WOTB barb and CM wiz - not because they were acceptable (they were really broken) - but because they showed the creativity of the community and the theorycrafters in response to the terrible state of vanilla. That has never really…

AH was fine IMHO. There was a small group which exploited it or spent time on it rather than playing the game but this wasn't an issue for the community at large. I'd say it made the game playable especially in the dark days before ROS. It's also a decent alternative to the current drop system (I like both). I don't like in-game trading.RMAH is not fine.

I will be in the minority who died numerous times when kiting the wasps, and came back for more. Now I look back upon that time with some fondness and much humor. It's weird :)

11/22/2018 09:59 PMPosted by LightdeityIt kind of was. Launch issues aside, the game was (and still is...) plagued with horrible design choices. I do understand why Blizzard executives lost faith in the game and told the team the franchise would be better off if they started on a new game as opposed to a new D3 expansion. I mean, the fundamentals of D3 are literally flawed and go against everything fans loved about the previous games. Trash itemization, trash skill system, terrible story, art style is wrong...the list just goes on. This game is just broken at its core. As many people have…

Taking off on the Schreier article. This is not to bash the game or the devs but D3 vanilla was undoubtedly a colossal mistake and missed opportunity; the Kotaku piece provides some insight into its ensuing impact at Blizzard.Initial sales of D3 vanilla don't matter. Majority (?) of vanilla players left the game and apparently never returned; I remember an old infographic that said the majority of vanilla characters did not finish Inferno. And they did not come back to RoS either.In that relationship between the devs and the suits at Activision, one group might have come out stronger than the …
