Yay create a post asking for a vote without providing the tools to do such. I love America. Also PC. But Shit bro, just put a gd poll in.

I made it 2 months and then realized I hadn't seen another actual player running around for weeks and canceled. They needed to consolidate servers way sooner. I would play with a couple guys from work when possible, but we have all given up because it doesn't feel like an mmo.

@SJSchmidt93: sell it for real money...that is what they want......just do it...

Woo! I've got 25cents! Selling garbage.

Valve’s Counter Strike Source may employ techniques that give dead players a tactical advantage similar to those present in Battlefield 3, but it differs in the fact that death actually carries with it larger consequences. While the game does still offer players the ability to re-spawn after death, it restricts the option to only allow them to return after the completion of a full round.

I only wish SSG Maupin had another round. Video games. Not able to be compared to realism when it comes to combat if only because the consequences are NEVERthe same. I thank you for the interesting read, but for some people your interpretation of what you think is close to real and make-believe could be a stretch. Blood on the dirt does not equal blood on the keyboard. For the record, I enjoy CSS a plenty, but separation is necessary.

Yeah, I'm getting the same thing. Exact same setup as you.

No heavy drops and lack of barely any voice clips to drop from. This is not dubstep.

Since you seem like the type, I'll give you some advice. If someone walks up to you in the streets and asks you to deposit a check for them and they will let you have half, don't do that. Swear, for some reason that was happening like wildfire at work, oldest trick in the book.

@jakob187:

Dude - you argue for building games for the 1%. Just like in the real world, a game rigged for the 1% sucks major dickballs, and the defenders of such practices are the worst.

Progression in Inferno is broken for the 99%. Hey - you got Act I on farmstatus? Good for you. I beat it the same session I beat Hell difficulty. Natural progression would be for me to transition organically from beating Act I to making similar progress in Act II. That's not the case though. Difficulty spikes unnaturally, where-in you are forced to farm the shit out of Act I until your stats suffice. You'll not be grinding for loot specifically, but rather to make money to buy upgrades in the auction house. Having basic trading skills and patience will accellerate this progress a lot. Essentially we are working off a statistical debt to Blizzard's balancing for the 1% crazy dedicated people.

I know my shit. I got a solid build. I got the playerskill. Hell - if I was okay with grinding my soul to dust by throwing my corpse at the Act II progression wall - I got the gear to do that too. It's simply no fun to me. How you can defend 'farming Act I Inferno with my Barbarian' until my numbers and skill synergies match Act II... it's beyond me. That's not how modern games should be. There's too much stuff out there for any one game to take itself that seriously. Not even Blizzard games.

There's nothing to defend here really. Blizzard knows it's too hard and unfun for a majority of their playerbase (most of which won't be anywhere near Inferno Act II), and the only fun the 1% whom have progressed past Act II are having, in all honesty, is likely the feeling of 'being elite'. The act of doing so is still a horrid slog, but you gain self-satisfaction and IRL attitude - most of which are imaginary qualities we carry as a shield to protect our tender selfs. Fact is, you'll have your skill synergies and your ressource pool - you'll spool down your cooldowns the best you know - you'll likely die, but if you're worth your salt, you'll have done a bunch of damage, rince and repeat - and that's how you come by progress on Inferno. That isn't fun to me, it shouldn't be fun to anyone, and it's certainly not good gamedesign.

The difficulty nerf will inevitably come, and it will be okay. I'm already sick and tired of Diablo III anyways. All I want is to satisfy my pride, beat Inferno, and put the genie back into the bottle. Seriously - it's like 5 hours of content, short-circuited into an endless grind. That's cool and all, but it also should be fun. It currently isn't to me. It likely isn't to a majority of players whom have reached Act II. Diablo III ain't gonna stay the way it is. The loud and proud 1% get their time in the limelight, the 99% will get a much more accessible Inferno mode soon enough.

And it certainly ain't about age. You're more likely to dislike a needless grind, if you are older. Young people feel like they've all the time in the world. The older you get, the less that rings true. I'm pretty much done running anything through a Diablo III act. Inferno or otherwise. Been there, done that. Enough dark. Time for some blond. Or brunette. Chocolate. Mocha. Latte.

This just happened to me also. Logged into find everything gone. I do not have any friends playing Diablo 3 and I have not shared my account info with anyone. All of my playing has been done single player in private games. I performed a virus scan and nothing malicious was found nor any warnings given. I'm 100% sure my account was not compromised through a phishing scam. I did not have an authenticator on my account (I do now though).

Despite having only played single player games, there is one person in my recently played with list (Businessman). Also my campaign progress was advanced. I had not beaten Azmodan (on normal) but now it shows me being a couple of quests into Act IV.

I do not think this was due to someone logging into my account. The fact that someone is showing up on my recently played list and my campaign progress advanced (did the thief play my campaign before he stole my stuff?) leads me to believe that the thiefs are using some other method to gain access to accounts.
