Just sold a twink weapon for 500k, so got some cash for repairs. Time to blast through second half of Act 2 Inferno; On "Unexpected Allies"

Slowly going through act 2 inferno on my barb if anyone feels like joining. :)

Just started blood and sand.

Also, could anyone give me a price check for this;

Well that is still unfun. Normal mobs are easier, but special mobs still kick the **** out of me and repair costs are impossible.
 
I find this nerfing frustrating .... its not like its a multiplayer game where sometimes there are genuine imbalances - this is a single player game

so you could either argue it 2 ways

(1) deliberately making it harder as too easy (yes I think it is harder now)

(2) game was far too imbalanced across the classes

(3) make more money

if (1) or (2) then you could argue the beta testing and internal testing was completely inadequate - for example attack speed was not "spotted" in testing ? come off it. Respawning over and over again with little ill effect due to cheap repair costs - was not spotted in testing ? again come off it - this latter one was immediately obvious after playing for a few hours or so
 
No no, they spent a lot of time and careful consideration as to how much they were going to increase repair costs by. There was probably much reference to spreadsheets and user data.

Couldn't possibly be they just chose a value at random that sounded higher :rolleyes:

doubt the first - if so it would have been picked up in testing
 
you wouldnt have even needed a spreadsheet !

3 testers would have done - any level up to 60

question "are repair costs very cheap relative to gold you are receiving"

bet all 3 would have said yes

QED
 
I'm playing through act 1 inferno on my WD and it's costing me 16k to repair my items, it's certainly not fun. I'm just attempting to skip as many champion packs as possible now.
 
I hadn't really finished in my above post :)

if it was that obvious - then repair costs have been nerfed for some other complex reason ...

to control gold ...

to control RMAH

its got to be

its putting me off the game now

I don't find the nerf to be enough of a nerf to justify the silly punishment for getting killed now, which makes it even more silly =/ just put it back like it was, imo.
 
Your not even guaranteed 2 rares from elites, ye, you could have guessed, i have 5 stacks of nef and my MF gear on, 301%, and i get 1 rare just then, in whimsy.
 
perhaps they are trying to make it a game its not ?

ie more tactical ? there are tactics in what spells/weapons etc you choose - but other than that really whether you get killed or not can be quite random ...

I treat diablo more as a shooter akin to Geometry Wars

you cant really plan an attack etc like you can (just) in Skyrim
 
2nd rare in whimsy with 5 stacks and my MF gear on, 1 rare, this is a joke now :)

so, is it all a lie? i dont know.

Edit: apparently its only 1 guaranteed rare? so the majority of the diablo population miss read or do blizzard change things whenever they feel like it.

It was always only one guaranteed rare.
 
Seems like a lot of butt hurt in here :p

Inferno was ment to be near impossible was it not?

Repair costs have gone up, just they have gone up a bit too much. Blizzard will try again in the next patch to get it a bit more reasonable.
