Guys, it's a fucking demo. What the hell were you expecting? Anybody who says Blizzard is generous is a damn fool. Also, anybody who says that Blizzard isn't cool for releasing a demo is also a fool.

This is to see if you like the game or not, and if you think it's worth a purchase. Seriously, what were you guys expecting? The Auction house so people who don't buy the game can still make money and shit?

Calm down and breathe. It's just a discussion. You don't need to take it personally. I promise.

Really? I'm calm as hell. But you're telling me to calm down compared to these other comments who are upset about a demo? Right. Whatever, different strokes for different folks.

there isn't anything wrong with the game itself, really.
As far as games go it's basically standard. Some bugs, and some balancing issues...welcome to multiplayer RPGs.

the only flaw the game really has, is gear differentiation and how there isn't any. It's way too easy to gear up. you don't need a 2H staff anymore as a wizard, you can use a fucking broadsword if it has higher DPS. You can even use a bow. There's very few class specific items and most aren't worth bothering to get.
Armour is the same.
It sounded like a good idea on paper but what it did is made gearing incredibly boring and unrewarding. The AH made obtaining better gear too easy. Using an actual currency system is also a hindrance to shit.
Basically, they took Diablo 2 and added a whole lot of bad features that don't work.

Sure they changed a lot for the better, like how you can easily go to most any part of the story specifically, or the companion system. That stuff is good. The skill system took a giant hit for creativity and depth, but it ain't a bad system either.

They'd basically have to remove the AH to really improve anything.
My sentiments exactly.

    I mean built in sound on mobo's has gotten way better but still XP handled sound better and X-Fi was still better than onboard audio even to this day

    Hell not sure what was going on but for like a few weeks MP3's sounded muffled, some driver or Windows update fixed it. Thank god lol

    I'd sooner buy the Meze 109 Pro if I was dropping that much on headphones. I don't even like buds/IEMs
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I got the Google Pixel Pro buds, they're good enough for when I need portable audio. And some really cheap IEMs that Dankpods recommends, I think the KZ ZSN Pro

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'd stick with cheapo Chinese $10 ones quality is actually becoming on pair with name brand since name Brand usually quads the price up anyway loose one bud that's another $200
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    My Pixel Pro buds shit the bed a month or two ago. My wireless charger (which they do support Qi charging) absolutely COOKED them. Caused some problem that caused the case to heat up to 180F+
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    They were like 9 months out of warranty but I hit up Google support anyway and told them how hot they were getting and they replaced them with new ones because they wanted these for failure analysis lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    lol wireless charging
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah that's why I can't bring myself to even spend $100 on wireless earbuds
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it's a cool idea but damn
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Apparently the case has a problem with >15W wireless chargers. Google design fault, that one.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I could live with wireless charging if the damn standard case doesn't block connection
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    how is wireless charging possible?

    you mean generally, how does the concept work?

    Copper conducting electricity or something
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @Xdqwerty, power through a coil of wire causes an electromagnetic field to be generated. Another coil of wire can be set up to harness the power from that electromagnetic field and turn it into usable energy for charging a device
