Because hate-boner.elvor0 said:I still don't understand why people hate D3 so much. I mean /really/ fucking hate it.
People were convinced it was going to be terrible when the rumors started flying, and then used all of the things they didn't like to justify their biases and try saying the game was "objectively" bad.
It's really funny looking in as someone who came into the franchise with the newest iteration and can't get into the previous one because it just plays so much worse, though.
OT: I'm still not sure how I feel about the new difficulty levels, mostly because I've had poor experiences with enemy level scaling in the past, but I've played the new patch for about three-five hours so far and everything about it is a lot better than it used to be. The tweaks to the spells aren't massive (at least on the two classes I've played so far since the patch) but the addition of actual feedback for their elements is pretty cool and some of the new runes are really interesting. But the loot is insanely better. I played my max level Monk for about an hour the day the patch hit and got four upgrades just playing Act 1 on Torment 1. Admittedly previously I'd only been in Act 3 of Hell, but still, the actual stats on the drops and the usefulness of the items which drop seems to be much better, which was my primary complaint about the game previously.
