sathyabhat Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Or maybe they were upgraded to 3000dps by the player himself using the Mystic. This seems more likely what had happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spindoctor Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 The Mystic properties are the yellow ones right? I'd imagine that they would also give some sort of visual indicator that the DPS had been modified if it had in fact been modified. I'm more inclined to believe that 3000dps really is the new threshold at level 70. Blizzard does this with every expansion for WoW. Old gear is instantly made worthless by the upgraded gear you get in an expansion. I expect level 60 legendaries will match up to early blues/yellows (from let's say 61 to 63) and will then get replaced by expansion items.

Saumil Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 (edited) Yep 3000dps is the new threshold, these are i70 items after all. I believe the true potential to be even higher as there's no +xx % damage roll on the showcased items. I wouldn't be too surprised to see 4000dps 1h, or even higher in the case of 2h weapons. Way I see it, the Star affixes are Legendary affixes and the Gold Coin affixes are those 'bought' from the Mystic (hence the Account Bound tag).

sudarsan Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 (edited) Diablo 3 review http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-08-29-diablo-3-console-review looks like console versions are indeed the definite versions "If anything, with all your skills under the fingers of one hand and direct character control, you can now play more instinctively. An evade move on the right stick, which lets you change position while attacking - never possible in the PC game - is a massive boon. The biggest beneficiaries of the move from mouse to pad are the melee classes, the Monk and Barbarian. The latter feels especially right, unleashing his mighty slams as you drum the buttons, brawling away. But the ranged Wizard and Demon Hunter also play beautifully. It's only the indirect style of the Witch Doctor, with his summons and skills that do progressive damage over time, which feels like an awkward fit."

sudarsan Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 (edited) Sorry for the n00bness but why was the PC version of Diablo 3 panned by almost everyone? Apart from auction house what were the other factors that led gamers to rage on blizzard? i think 1. bad loot system forcing user to buy stuff from AH. 2. Always online. 3. map being small or something i believe first two are the main reasons from what I heard of Edited August 29, 2013 by sudarsan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudarsan Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 (edited) Game Informer – 9.25/10 Concept: Redesign the PC original for consoles while retaining all of the depth and replayability Graphics: Impressive physics and special effects make up for the lack of detail on the miniature character models Sound: Diablo III’s soundtrack is largely forgettable, but the sound effects nicely complement the absurd action Playability: Having direct control over your character’s movement is liberating. I can’t imagine going back to the PC’s point-and-click interface, PC gamers were flipping out when I said something similar to this few months ago Entertainment: Everything you love about Diablo III is here, minus the PC version’s more controversial components. What more could you ask for? Replay: High Edited August 29, 2013 by sudarsan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbpoovannagamer Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 i think 1. bad loot system forcing user to buy stuff from AH. (biggest irritant that turned many people away) 2. Always online. (was a problem in the beginning due to crazy lag and people dying in game due to the lag but later online play was near seamless and i am always connected to the net if my comp is on so it never bothered me) 3. map being small or something (game was too short) i believe first two are the main reasons from what I heard of also add - zero RPG elements lack of variety in build for any class no proper PVP positives - extremely good and fluid combat environmental physics & effects Impressive visuals and UI lot of enemy variety challenging at higher difficulties (inferno MP 7, 8, 9, 10) encourages playing with others (better loot drop chance) and seamless drop in drop out 4 player coop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saumil Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) Mostly D3 suffers from bad public perception from a very vocal community owing to the less than stellar launch, and the very fact that it wasn't D2 (there's so much butthurt over that last part, it's amusing). As for always-online, that is a non-issue. Actually it's better. When I make an end-game character, I want it to mean something. Something that can't be duplicated by a two-minute hex edited character decked out in all the best gear with no effort put into it. It wasn't exactly 'fixed' in the console version. Rather the console version is just a more casual version of Diablo aimed at the 4-player couch experience where always-online serves no purpose.

Rowlot Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 I am not a hardcore ARPG'er but D3 is "the" best game I have played in that catagory. I have played WitchDoctor on all difficulties and I am looking forward to start another class and play it all over again. In contrast, and despite all the communiity hype with Torchlight2, I can't even play past one hour mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the pretenders contenders like Torchlight and POE and even Marvel Heroes which I completed fall flat when you compare their combat to D3. That's why I can't get myself to play any other ARPG in which you spend 95% of your time in combat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought torchlight was okay ( but still couldn't drag myself to finish it) but TL2 was an absolute snoozefest. Other game I've been playing, Van Helsing, is pretty decent in terms of music/atmosphere but come combat, which is what ARPGs are all about, it gets boring fast. Even the addition of powerups can't do much to save it's face. Combat terms D3 is still king. i think 1. bad loot system forcing user to buy stuff from AH. 2. Always online. 3. map being small or something i believe first two are the main reasons from what I heard of 1, yes - thought I was fortunate to get gear from others ;p 2. Meh, this has been done and over with. AO was mentioned a year before it was released and people bitch about it. Get over it already 3. Maps being small? No. I thought D3 maps were small and D2 maps were huge - and been playing D2 off late (past 2-3 weeks) and at 1920x1080 (thanks to D2multires), what seemed like humongous at 640x480 is ridiculously small now. People bitch about D3 because they wanted D2 with upgraded 3D engine, and they didn't get it. At some places, I agree. The music in D2 just wipes D3, the questline is corny but somewhat believable (till you begin Act 5 anyway). But in terms of pure gameplay, D3 > D2. I still can't believe people whine and bitch about no stats allocating when freakin' do the same thing what D3 does automatically. Oh boo hoo, you wanted to put one point into STR instead of VIT. Cry me a river. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saumil Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Combat is absolutely perfect in D3. Unleashing a Zombie Bear stampede right smack in the middle of 50 skeletons never gets old . But I don't disagree with the custom stat point allocation mechanic in D2 and PoE. It lets items be items and stats be stats. Which is the #1 problem with D3's itemization right now; that items ARE stats and any item without stats is automatically garbage. Skill point allocation however is quite a meaningless hurdle to overcome on your way to properly enjoy an arpg. You have to ruin 3 characters before you can begin to make a somewhat playable character? Theory-crafters might enjoy that sort of thing, but the follower horde just reads up on guides and emulates them because the majority do not want to waste time leveling 2 characters before they realize they made a character destroying mistake along the way and are forced to start over. I'd rather have every skill available to me at all times so I don't have to roll multiple heroes of the same class just so I can enjoy a different build. Even D2 (gospel) allows for infinite skill point respecs now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
