Diablo (computer game)

Customer Review

Before I start my review, I want to disclose how much time I've put into the game and what classes I played first.
Time Played: about 90 hours over a barbarian (Level 54) and a witch doctor (Level 60). I have no me to deal with it 43% of the success achieved most of whom (75%) were achieved in the mode co-op. I 'played' with my witch doctor to start Act 3 Inferno. Why do I mention this in advance? Each of my review reads to be sure that I have played the game to the extent that it allows me to pass judgment on this!

The following are the points that I will not be included in the assessment:

1. Graphics
2. Online'Zwang '
3. Server issues incl. The resulting errors (37+)

What I discuss is this:

1. Game, Story and difficulty levels
2. What role does the equipment in the game + the possibility of obtaining
3. Do I need to be an above average player to master (the last of difficulty) and Inferno?
4. How do I get further without spending hours to farm or to use the auction house?
5. Gold and repair costs in the game

I want to take one anticipated. This review is aimed at all readers who have NOT bought Diablo 3 and would like to read a review that is absolutely serious. This is my second review that I write ever since I was very disappointed by this game. Sure you can comment on my review of each, but I write the same I am not going to comment. I'm the last of a game would willfully and with intent to vote badly. My personal opinion is in this case does not go beyond two stars. Why this is so I will now try to write down the next points.

1. Game, Story and difficulty levels

I have Diablo 3 soon, knew the short beta version and I have, like many others was thrilled to the third part. Earlier this year I had with my brother again Diablo 2 LoD played out to bring into play to us again! ;-) Now Diablo arrived on time and I've then installed directly. The installation was completed without any problems and around 0 clock should then go to the starting line and the server. Now has not worked, but was not a problem! Is logical that there are initially problems even Star Wars TOR have played to the final stage and also there were some server-side problems (at the beginning). Diablo 3 I have to act played Inferno 2 Normal two-three friends of Act 1. Of course we also had fun, but really wanted the Diablo Feeling not arise that we had in the second part. Kurast was just great and the atmosphere great! Something I did a little missing in D3. Act 1 again forest, dark + monastery, Act 2 Desert (hey dejavu), Act 3 basically Harrogath from Lod, Act 4 the only new experience (but only a short pleasure). Story total a little flat and above all predictable! Unfortunately, that can the many books that we now find everywhere not rip out (Additional information on Story). The levels of difficulty, one can say only one thing:

Normal - incredibly light
Nightmare - easy
Hell - medium to hard
Inferno - extremely difficult to unplayable

And before the first comments come the Inferno as a special extra with much claim titled one thing must be said:
The difficulty level has little to do in this case, with the ability (skill) of the player. The manslaughter argument is always the player that the problems with Inferno who have no skill and or not to deal with their class. As this 3 but not all can be difficult in Diablo, you can for any normal player specify: Skill
And right now are the ghosts, whom it's fun in a game much to farm, to deal with the auction house to earn enough gold to adequate objects (Inferno Act 2, 3 and 4); I can Diablo 3 put only my heart. This is at this point not meant pejoratively. I know that there really is some of these players. For all players who do not want, there is no other way than at this point to throw in the towel. Because you can improve from the power amplifier 60 your character only on objects. And to get this right parts for your character, is required much time. Of course you can buy the game to have played it a try, but that one is afterwards not disappointed this review.

2. What role does the equipment in the game + the possibility of obtaining

Equipment is everything in the game. The complete damage scales with your equipment Chars. I have repeatedly read that it play through player without using the auction house to create even Inferno. I do not think personally! I've already written as played with two-three friends and we had from time to time with the auction house to help out, because we have found just little to nothing for our characters what would have been sufficient to continue to 'liquid' to play. Sure you can as more fortunate than we, but for everyone else it is very tiring and tough without the auction house. That works then everything just fine, until you eventually reach the second act of the Inferno mode. This evening / night was the last round in funny game. We have four sat in TeamSpeak and made us act 2. We can satisfy every quest and then failed to Belial. Aha! How in God's name did we do it? Very easily! Our barbarian sprinted through the areas so as to meet the quests. He is X times come to death. We were ready to get in his grave stone to porten then continue running a few yards !! So he could start again at the same place. We have pretty much .. oh quark omitted any champion squad. Zoltun Kull has festgebuggt at the end (30%) on a column, which came to meet us, of course. Oh we laughed! Because it was so incredibly mad easily. Fully motivated the Butcher defeated to then be transported to the afterlife by a small wasp just outside the city gates. Did I just hear something? Bup bup ... bup ... ... ohha! :) After the initial shock we continued .. well the next group of monsters, and then also very fixed to the first Champions! End off! The whole thing was in any case only a farce. We are certainly not the way, the worst players on the planet and had been dealing sensibly with resistors and our skill revisions. Now the question is how we resolve the situation!
Option 1: The auction house ... problem is the insanely high prices. The introduction of the real-money auction house has the situation not improve naturally. Now we are back in this impasse (end point 1). So different ...
Option 1: I think the objects themselves (if you would because times find what)! Could yes abfarmen only Act 1 Inferno. Despite patience and objects with magic fund Bonus an incredibly annoying matter has absolutely nothing to do with fun. As you can tell me what you want! :) Because it feels like to work! Option 2: In AH buy, the problem is you need a lot of gold which again means Option 1. So a vicious circle. So whom farming is too boring and makes especially not fun for the easy end. When I logged me the last few days, there were hardly any online friends. All with whom I have played the game have put off or uninstall again. Clear when it is no longer fun. Because serves yes a computer game. Long-term motivation is Diablo 3 in my opinion not. That was in Diablo 2 or otherwise. Maybe because everything was still new and cool, I do not know. But perhaps also because it was even more durable with 99 stages and the individual skill and values ​​assignment. You could still improve a skill again. The remains completely out in D3. But is being considered by the part of Blizzard so.

3. Do I need to be an above average player to master (the last of difficulty) and Inferno?

No, as described above, the character damage scaled complete with the equipment. Even if another player has an incredibly powerful weapon, that does still far he is playful better. It is also not so that one for Diablo 3 a must be 'above average' good player. If one has the equipment is also Inferno a 'lightweight' endeavor. This one runs out of effects and impacts of bosses etc. evades I sit properly here. But anyone who says that it would be hard to tell nonsense. Any halfway affine Gamers will his character be able to play so that it arrives at the end was a factor, the equipment!

4. How do I get further without spending hours to farm or to use the auction house?

Not at all. The auction house has to be used in any case in order to reach the right equipment. As written above, I do not think there are many players that have played through Inferno, without only once to use the auction house, or can be get from friends objects. It is willed by Blizzard that the auction house will be used. I would like to safely unpack no conspiracy, but there were so planned to achieve some things certainly to gains by the Real Money Auction House. A business model that works well. But as I wrote earlier, the gold prices have fallen by none Falls.

5. Gold and repair costs in the game

With the last patch repair costs were raised. A friendly Barbarian (Level 60) now pays for a death circa 5000 gold. Complete because the costs are more in proportion ultimately for him the reason the game. This Part applies in particular Part 2 of my review because the situation is not improved.

That was it with my review. Unfortunately become a bit much! At stake could be quite possible to submit a book. With the official Diablo 3 forums you need not start. This is partly absolutely amazing! Most certainly will not read until here. But I wish all readers a nice day or a nice night! ;-)
