CE - content and game

CE - Contents:

I catch at times from the outside. The box is very good, feels valuable and can can also be seen on the shelf. The artbook or better "The Art of Diablo 3" - what one can not read often, because really many "The artbook ..." it says :) I find very nicely done and I look also like to, would be not because the side 82 completely in French and other small spelling errors. This mishap has already been confirmed by Blizzard. Damages there is probably no, because I have to ask how something like this through the QA (Quality Assurance) may come? Let's talk about Making of DVD / BlueRay. Unfortunately, without German subtitles, except the cinematics, which are equipped with German subtitles. Whereby here again the question arises, why only the cinematics? [And] Why the cinematics are only in the game with German voice output? Could have been done in my opinion, on the DVD or BlueRay, otherwise very nice to look at and a lot of information material available. In the big box is a small box with the beautiful Diablo Skull and the USB flash drive. Very nice gimmick. The skull serves as a base (small magnet with built-in) for the USB stick, this also lights when you connect. On the USB stick to Diablo 2 + Lord of are Distruction (Addon). Custom is therefore not specifically Mr. undercharged as practical. Here, I had an idea that you might have the skull can process as USB extension (this placed on the desktop) and when connecting a USB flash drive (in the base), would 2 small red LED lights (eyes) light up. So he would have been really of use and would look even more impressive, although the CE would have then become even more expensive, but oh well. Last but not least, the soundtrack, on which only 23 instead of 24 original pieces are. I have me now not so intense belongs, most are found in the game again.

Otherwise, even each 2 trial versions of Diablo 3 and World of Warcraft and the game is still in the box itself.

Conclusion to the content: I'm not really happy with the CE, although I find it still very nicely done and the game Bonis are also quite nice, but these many little things that I discovered while unpacking, then I was not so great and Therefore, I find the price is not justified, considering that this CE is limited.

The game and Co.

Initially, there were many difficulties during login, with the battle.net and the servers were anyway often overloaded, as if Blizzard never expect such a rush. So it was quite frustrating log. It was worse when one was finally splashing around and then kicked out suddenly, or the like by any Laggs, error (Maintenance, etc.) After about two weeks one could say that the server ran stable and we could finally play continuously.

Game:
First, let me tell you that Diablo 3 no continuation or currently is no worthy successor. It must also not scold Hack'n Slay, but rather hit and run (is considered by many like to use). It's really up to the level of difficulty hell fun, but then it gets boring, frustrating and monotonous. There are too few events, the generation of maps or spawn points could be more versatile, so you know every time already, where approximately the Elite group or the Goblins are so. Furthermore, here also lack other content, this is done either in patches, like the PvP for example, or how Blizzard knows in addon's follow.

Skills / state distribution:
The distribution of attributes does not exist in Diablo 3, as well as talent trees are no longer available. Why should they? There were only one or two meaningful way to skill in accordance with its character and has to be viewed on the Internet rather a guide to prevent a verskillen. We have here the opportunity coordinated capabilities to combine (passive and active skills), there are so many combinations, but that all make sense? There are also some who are less useful and probably only serve so for fun. But this is also the only one.

Story:
For Hack'n Slay newcomers quite successful. For D2 fans it is rather a nice side dish or unnecessary.

Sound:
Is just great!

Graphics:
As it is known by Blizzard Entertainment, it has been designed so that the game is running on many computers as possible. So I find it really quite fine. A character customization missing here unfortunately. The effects on the individual bosses or elite groups, however, I find very good.

Farms / Items:
Is the main activity in this genre, but it tarnishes here the game tremendously, because as already mentioned, it boring, frustrating and boring is. Would it not give the action house, you would probably be a lifetime busy improving its equipment, which should also be in Diablo so yes, but then finally released increases with reasonable Drop opportunities in the acts, they were, but the generation of values still seems - to be in the beta, because what may arise because of random values ​​to each item is simply milking only for mice - in my opinion. Here, unfortunately, be able to make even more of the items that have been dropped missing.

Blacksmith / jeweler:
In both there have been adjustments, however, you can only add value here except precious stones and manufactured items with random values, -hauptsächlich- not do much. There also is missing again more ways eg to add 1-2 more sockets on one of the desired items, etc.

Auction House / Real Money Auction House:
Personally, I prefer the gold AH, I would spend the extra money for virtual items is not just to later determine: "Oh, a new addon, new better items, content, etc. - My Items are now no longer so" valuable "last? finally everyone must know yourself, how much money he would put into his hobby. That's only good thing about real money Ah to me it may be" pocket money "fill something. (Prerequisite here is a Paypal account and additional security measures such as be the authenticator required) Here was / is also here some gold exploits, which led to inflation in gold-AH and prices rose in the air left. Bugs There are still, however, serious should be corrected. Again, the Auction house both gold and real money yet very expandable.

I hope one or the other I could help and liked it. The game has - in my opinion - potential, as then in Diablo 2, which also only rather through some patches, was more interesting by the addon LoD. There is a clear lack content. It seems to me before when I would have bought a demo version. Unfortunately, you can only hope that the game develops in the right direction. When I think of all the hype surrounding the game of yesteryear and realize what I was actually ultimately play, I feel sick. I wonder what Blizzard has done in all that time anyway?
