Diablo 3?

Recommended Posts

Anybody else enjoy this game? i just bought myself a copy not too long ago and i think im in love!

 

say what you want, you cant compare it to D2. Yeah that had an epic system as well, but lets be honest, nobody wanted to have to load their entire inventory stash full of potions, or click on gold every time it dropped, put points into one weapon skill only to come across a different rare weapon and then have to train that up and other stuff like that. they simplified that and it actually makes the game less tedious

 

i was a diablo 2 addict for the longest time, but i love how they improved D3. you just have to get far and play through the difficulties before you start to get the good drops. I didnt expect it to be a carbon copy of D2, 10 years later, and if it was i would be very disappointed and my jimmies would get rustled. For some reason this game gets alot of flak from the D2 fans with their nostalgia glasses expecting the same game all over again, which technically the entire concept and most of the systems have remained the same, but theres been vast improvements. plus the graphics are much better and the game runs so smooth, it doesnt skip a beat when there is a huge cluster of enemies

 

anybody else addicted to this game? man theres so much replay value in this. usually i never put more than 150 hours into a game unless its truly awesome, but this one is going to keep me busy for years. its like crack.

the DRM policy was genius for preventing piracy. If every game had this kind of system it would force them to buy games rather than pirate them.

 

its more of an online game anyways. i mean you could play private but why would you want to? there goes half of the fun right there. part of what makes this game is the community and the auction.

 

i would recommend it anyways. lag is non existant and im running 70ms ping. i wouldnt foresee that being too much of an issue unless you have a piss poor connection

DRM does nothing to stop piracy. All it does is inconvenience honest people and force them to jump through hoops to play their games. Meanwhile, everybody else gets to enjoy their pirated games without hassle(save for the few who get caught).

 

I only play one game online, and that's a game designed purely for online. I much prefer single player games, where the only thing stopping me playing would be a rare power cut. People shouldn't have need a strong and constant internet connection to play a game in single player, they shouldn't experience lag in a single player, and they shouldn't have to worry about servers going down and disrupting their single player game.

 

BTW, there are already pirated versions of Diablo 3 that have been altered to play offline.

^^^ This. DRM is one of the worst things to happen to honest gamers.

 

True story, I use a pirated version of... I can't remember the name of the game right now... because I can't get my store bought copy to work properly on my system.

I played it for awhile, got bored of it quick though.

 

1. Loot was broken, forced you to use the AH.

2. Game was very linear, multiplayer was co-op more than anything else.

3. No necro? Really? And it took awhile to patch in descent pets for the WD.

4. GOD THE STORYLINE SUCKED SERIOUS ****.

 

Not a big fan of blizzard lately.

diablo's storylines have always sucked. and its always been linear, thats nothing new. using the AH to get your loot, especially with money actually breaks the game. now you can be overpowered before you even finish normal campaign or even start the game. congratulations. youve just broken the concept of finding your loot. just spend a few dollars on gold and you can buy anything you want.

 

im disappointed about the necromancer not being in too. maybe in the expansion.. i want to get my necro on!

you cant get away with this on games that run on battle or steam. you have to be online with a valid cd key connected to the game servers. you can pirate pretty much any game in the world without any problems but these ones are difficult if not impossible.

 

of course the crier's gonna cry when they use this kind of system, wahhh i cant play single player with my bootlegged game. well thats about all youre going to be able to do with all the games you bootlegged anyways unless somebody gives you their account or an unused cd key. big deal. and how hard is it to have an internet connection? hell just steal your neighbours wifi, walk up the street or to your local coffee shop or wherever you can find an unsecured network...tether your cellphone....stop being so poor and pay the $20 per month for internet. theres a million options.

 

How hard is it to obtain a steady internet connection? What do you want to play a video game while while youre driving a car until your battery dies??? i mean yeah, not having an internet connection is a factor and all, but this isnt the 90s anymore. the main reason people complain about the battlenet system is because they cant just pirate their games and play it like they do with everything else. the whole 'oh i have to be online' ordeal is just a hypothetical excuse. i play games every day. i cant recall a day in the last 10 years i had to play offline. i dont understand.

 

maybe if youre in a college dorm or you truly dont have internet access, or youre in an airplane or whatever and you just want to play a game for a couple hours until your computer dies, then yeah thats feaseable, otherwise its all just crying over nothing. just be happy that every game doesnt use this system. the developers wouldnt care, but the pirates would be enraged.

Wow, agreeing with forcing people to have an internet connection to play single player games... It seems so odd coming from you BTW, I'm surprised that you are such a... sucker.

 

What do you mean you can't "get away with this", for games on battle or steam? What is "this",?

lol offline crack?

 

you mean the mooege patch that stopped working 5 months ago after the update? okay there bud. go play with your little emulators. there is no offline in this game. you have to be connected to battle.net with a legit account and cd key just to make a character. let alone everything else you do which is logged and tracked.

 

hey theres always the trial version when you go to update your game you know. you can find a place to download the full thing only so you can play the trial that can be downloaded for free off the blizzards servers but you wouldnt be able to join me, im past act 2 already and being capped at level 12 would truly suck .

offline on diablo 3 is basically being connected to blizzard severs while making your game private. i couldnt see who would want to play an online game by themselves anyways. pretty boring if you ask me

 

but thanks for posting in a thread for a game you obviously have never played. go do your trolling elsewhere. better yet find something else to do to amuse yourself

but hey....amuse me a little. go get your little 'hacked' version of the game, join me in a game, and we will see just how much i was wrong about the security which companies like steam and battlenet enforce

 

 

after all. im sure its pretty easy to get around hey? humor me a little!

like i said its pretty effective. yeah the pirates dont like it so they will cry all day long because the servers and single cd key enforcement thwarts them from being able to steal games

 

but hey what do i know? prove me wrong. go get yourself a 'hacked' version and come and join me and the rest of the world.

there is no private servers moron. the moment you start the game it demands you to connect to battlenet. do you get the idea yet? or are you going to keep going on about how you know anything about something youve never even tried! Did you know im an expert at lawn bowling? even though ive never tried it and i dont know the rules

 

you could use a 'hacked' version IE an emulator. but only to host on your own LAN with other computers that also run the client emulator. basically its just tunneling. and even patching that would be a nightmare mooege or madcow are the two popular ones out there. . you still need to have a bnet account and a cd key and have at least one device connected to the actual servers to emulate this. the moment blizzard released their first update is the moment the emulators stopped working to actually get you on their servers.

there is no 'pirated version of the game' moron

 

you can look for them all you want, and find stuff with emulators. thinking its a 'crack' you cant do that with D3 or World of Warcraft or any of those types of games. Everything is stored on their servers. you would basically have to reverse engineer the entire game just to do this

 

you cant simply just 'hack' this game to make it connect to somebody elses servers this year. get a ****ing clue. sure you can download all the virus ridden fakes you want off the internet, all with outdated emulators that stopped working the moment blizzard put out their first update.

this isnt an offline game ****. you have to be connected just to play. you have to be connected with a cd key just to make or use your character. in fact this is one of the few games out there that you cant just crack. your stupidity is dumbfounding. you dont have this game, you have no idea how it works, but you assume theres 'cracked' versions that actually work simply because they do for other games.

 

well most other games do not use this system. thats why they are so easy for people to crack wheras games like D3 and WOW are pretty much impossible. if all games ran like this, the hackers and people too poor to afford internet connections would be crying their eyes out.

 

how about you just do yourself a favor and move on to a thread that you know something about instead of joining into discussion of a video game that you have never even played or have any idea how it works.....

 

until you can find yourself a 'hacked' copy, and join me and the rest of the world , your opinion on this whole digital licensing + server enforcement is completely moot. prove me wrong genius. im calling you out on it. and when you do ill be kicking myself for having to go out and buy a game that ive tried everything out there that exists to "crack"

What? Their are tons of private servers for WOW. How clueless are you?

 

 

never tried that one. my bad for figuring the security in todays games would be similar to security 8 years ago

yeah well i dont play that game. i figured its the same company same kind of system? i didnt think that after 7 years, **** kind of changes you know. but keep picking those nits and let me know how that 'hacked' version works out for you.

 

this ****s a little different from the rest of the games. especially when you have to be connected to servers just to build and register your characters, and play "single player" or "offline".....its only a matter of time until those servers get shut down if they even exist....not to mention a huge lagfest. but good luck reverse engineering the game to do that. of course you could try to emulate it. but thats a nightmare all on its own

ud have

 

sure you can run emulators...mooege and madcow are the two ones out there. they will allow you to run a bootlegged copy and connect to blizzard without it asking you to put the dvd drive in....nothing more

 

the moment you use the admin@ and password codes it gives you when you use that as your bnet account, guess what? it asks you to update. and when you do, you wont need those emulators to get into the game anymore....sure it updates your game and all. but you still need that cd key and an active connection to bnet to get on.

 

do you see why its a little different than most games, where you can simply just download, apply a patch, and play offline??? you have to be connected to a specific server at every second of the game, online of offline, with a specific account with a registered serial number locked to it. like it or not, it DOES in fact thwart piracy. there may be temporary ways to find a workaround, if youre really good at hacking and making your own server code, reverse engineering the game, recoding, and reemulating, and thats good until the next update and all, but for 99% of the rest of the people wanting to play, this system stops them dead in their tracks,

 

im not a big fan of the system either. in ten years this is the only computer game that ive had to actually buy just because of the way it operates to be honest. the way the system is it basically forces you to buy. its either that or you can waste your time tinkering with versions off the internet that claim they are hacked, which indeed is partially true because all the files will be there and you wont need a cd to put in the drive, but you still need to be online with a cdkey to actually have that activated otherwise you are stuck with the trial features until you literally connect to the bnet servers and unlock the full game. there is no workaround.

 

ive been through this crap. i wanted to play the game free "offline". if the system was so easy to workaround, i wouldnt be defending it now would i? ive ripped plenty of **** in my times, put windows and all kinds of emulators on my original xbox. rigged it with a new hard drive and usb input cords, and turned it into a computer/media machine no problem, cut open the controller and cut a wire so i could run it on my computer and play games, done all kinds of stuff like that which wasnt meant to be done, . but when it came to finding a workaround for D3 server emulation....not happening. doesnt work anymore. thats why i had to buy it, which is technically why im ranting here about how effective it actually is....but completely stupid when you just want to play by yourself.

why would you need to try to find a way to emulate it and play on a hacked servers that could shut down at any time without any notice? then you would have to find a new server and start from scratch again i would figure.

 

down the road theres gonna be ways to crack D3, get it full version unlocked and have private servers. the hackers always win. but lets be real. if youre gonna play the game for any long time period, and if youre still going to be playing months or even years down the road,...how confident are you going to feel in some illegal server with a rigged emulator???? what about when your game glitches out but is fixed in the latest game update, but you cant get that because you have a cracked copy ? and what about when an expansion comes out and you want that too? thats gonna take even longer for the hackers to figure that kind of stuff out.

 

And what about buddy whos paying to host a dedicated server for you and everybody else decides to up and shut it down because he's not making enough money to have it public, or gets shut down when the server gets discovered and reported? all that time you spent building your character was all for nothing.. find another server, make a new character, and play as long as you can until that one goes down too.. How much fun can that possibly be?

 

your better off buying these kind of games than trying to hack it and play an outdated copy on sluggish unreliable servers. i mean yeah, maybe there will be a way to do that for D3, but right now its not very practical or common. im not saying it cant be done. i tried like hell, ive tried everything out there, i was able to emulate it shortly and have a listening connection, but the moment i try to log on with the passwords in the readme's, and it was able to gain login credentials...but its a dead end straight to an automatic update. hello trial version. thats where i broke down and paid. nothing else could be done on my end.

 

this kind of **** is not 100% fool proof, but it does hinder piracy a great amount. if every game was like it, it would be hell.
