Covetous Shen is %!$#ing awesome. by Urwyin Diablo

A WORTHY OPPONENT!

D3 Chat System is atrocious. by D-acsOin Diablo

[–]ianmboyd 0 points1 point ago

I've already been drooling with my buddies about a guild/clan system in D3. It could be implemented almost better than WoW, in that since people's stories are all separated and never coexisting, how much harder would it be to have a guild house? It could show trophies of achievements and group milestones, as well as be a kind of hangout spot. Complete speculation at this point, but this topic could be its own thread!

I understand now why Blizzard said it would take months to beat Inferno. by OneoftheChosenin Diablo

[–]ianmboyd 0 points1 point ago

Maybe they thought that while in-game we would want to experience the story and gameplay without fiddling around with stats and money and auctions and whatnot? Doesn't really hold up considering merchants still exist, but that's the only thing that makes sense to me. In other words, they view the Auction House as "extracurricular" as opposed to a part of the game itself? I'm reaching now.

Found an awesome 2H Cross bow, What do you guys think I can get out of it? by dricenin diablo3

[–]ianmboyd 0 points1 point ago

If I had stumbled across that, I would stash it immediately until I could use it, and if I found something better I would AH the shit out of it.

Granted, I only just hit 30 and those 3-4 digit numbers are making my head spin O.O

You guys sure are ballsy! I would pay 1345, max.

Better / Easier skill selection menu by manikfoxin Diablo

I think Blizzard agrees.

[–]ianmboyd 6 points7 points ago

Me too. My only issue is that you can't access the auction house in-game, so I lose my progress by leaving game if I haven't already hit a waypoint. =/

PROTIP: use your banner to mark satchels/lore books so your allies don't miss them by youremyjulietin Diablo

[–]ianmboyd 3 points4 points ago

Do you never document your own accomplishments or important moments? Family vacations? It means a lot to me because it shows more than just an accomplishment. It shows what I looked like, what follower I happened to have at the time, things like that. And sure, I could post it to my Facebook or blog, or share it with people.

So, ignoring the condescension of that question, yes it is. I like documenting my achievements. Most of the time I could just take a screencap from the selection screen, but sometimes it's also fun to do it in game.

I use it to save checkpoints in my characters timeline by taking screenshots. Throw down banner, turn on zoom while viewing inventory, print screen. As long as your shitty follower doesn't get in the way. -_-

This idea of class roles really needs to be taken down a notch. by Mezzlegasmin Diablo

[–]ianmboyd 4 points5 points ago

That's why those affixes exist. If a game is centered around kiting and movement, then what better way to throw a curve all than to take away that very strategy that keeps you alive? They're supposed to be hard in that respect.

I know it's early but... let's speculate on expansion classes. by Stingy_Jackin Diablo

[–]ianmboyd 2 points3 points ago

It would probably be the Templar character. I love his story.

Act 3 and 4 were rushed... by drakegamingin Diablo

[–]ianmboyd 1 point2 points ago

I agree. I feel like act 3 was the most polished and really creative. I haven't played 4, but 2 was redundant and clunky.

Really good practical review. Upvoted.

Does anyone else feel this subreddit is overreacting to the potential issues? by viticussin Diablo

[–]ianmboyd -4 points-3 points ago

Not to be that douchebag that says "were u there for the release of every game in history bro?" But saying inflammatory things like that are conceited and ridiculous. We understand your point by just saying "releases I've witnessed" or shitty things like "in my experience" or "IMHO" for that matter.

It's semantics, really, but it makes a huge difference when interacting with people, especially on the internet where so much of that context is lost. /rant

Which class is the most popular? [Discussion] by ianmboydin Diablo

[–]ianmboyd[S] 0 points1 point ago

That's interesting, because I can't help but think that I'm one of few who actually plays DH. I always see people playing Barbarian. I would have assumed Barb be most popular because they're such heavy hitters.

WD Inferno Butcher kill in 25 sec. wow... by summerlightin Diablo

I turned it on, but can't figure it out. How does it work?

Let's Talk: Demon Hunter by silent0sirisin Diablo

[–]ianmboyd 0 points1 point ago

That's what I find delight in. Kiting and using vault+evasive fire, throwing clatrops and bola shot here and there, pulling more and more whilst never taking damage.

Best reason to play female. We've all been there.
