Diablo 3 Hardcore Mode

Re: Diablo 3 Hardcore Mode

Overall, DH survival tools are stupidly overpowered for normal mode lol

Basic attack is overpowered for normal mode.

what? why? obj's always have the worst loot, magic find helped make those actually worthwhile.

I haven't read anything on this by Blizzard, but I'm almost 100% certain it's because it's rewarding to people who farm while avoiding monsters. Spawning in an area with a chest nearby, running directly to it, looting everything and then quitting the game without fighting anything, all while wearing all-MF gear, has better yield than actually fighting monsters. This really shouldn't be encouraged in the first place, which is probably why Blizz is nerfing it.

uhhhhhh why

Probably the same reason as above.

ffffffffff

can't give you a good reason for this one tho heh

I like to believe the tradeoff is that they don't have any fun but I realize a lot of people play MMO's like a job anyway soooo yeah I can get behind that theory.

I would have preferred that they start spawning mobs or elites more often near chests, possibly. Some other solution that isn't "if it's slightly broken remove it." Not that I think this nerf is a huge change to gameplay, I just liked seeing loot explode out of jars when I nuke them. It looked nice and gave me a reason to care about the little things littered throughout the game which now have no purpose except keeping barb rage up in between fights.

Re: Diablo 3 Hardcore Mode

I think my current hero is going to be my last one. The game isn't really as replayable as I had hoped and I'm getting a bit tired of identical maps and layouts every playthrough. I really don't think I can force myself through Act I again, I'd much rather just play nethack or diablo 2.

I'm at level 32 and just starting nightmare, in case anyone would like to join me on my final attempt at level 60.

Also lol @ everyone bitching about repair costs in the D3 thread :coolface:

Waiting until the game is a little more balanced or complete until I start hardcore.

Re: Diablo 3 Hardcore Mode

Hardcore's still hardcore. Don't wait until Blizzard f*cks up the game entirely ^^ Every patch the game gets buggier and less interesting.
