seeing as you are the one who pointed it out.... obvious answers are obvious

rick i gave u the key to the closet wtf why u let them out?

...in 8 months time

well i KNOW i am better then you, so im content, the rest can kiss my ass

You have zero attempts at a MQ on your LS chars, and your highest level is 15.

I'm totally confused as to how you can put together a review of this patch with the experience you have.

Lets give the people half an update they all hate, get the player numbrs down, then give the rest of the update.

you post more anti-criticism than anyone else on these forums yet contribute nothing useful in said posts.

totally confused as to how you think your "experience" is better than anyone else's.

it's truly easy to think everything is hunky dory when your 22 mq's and single digit proficiencies (which speak for themselves) show that you don't really even know how great this game used to be.

She does, however, make a valid point.



First: Hi!

As has been pointed out, your experience in the game as it is now is somewhat... Limited. However, new perspectives are not always bad, so I'll not add to the negative responses to your post. However, I have bolded a few points you made which should be addressed.

First, there are only 4 attributes, and have always been only 4 attributes. They're called stats, and are Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, and Vitality. This is the same as D2, to the best of my recollection, though it has been several years since I played, so please feel free to correct me if my memory is wrong. There are "sidemods" if you will that also effect you, such as mana syphon, heal mastery, +life, and the like. While there are certainly more than there were during season 1 and 2, I do not see how this is a bad thing, as each additional ability to defend, attack, or survive longer is of benefit. And, again, to the best of my recollection, there are fewer than in Diablo 2. Further, there were always charms. Heal charms, wind, and earth charms are new as of... um... Season 7? I can't honestly remember, been a long time. However, charms in general have always been a part of this game.

Second, the fact that this is a free flash game does not mean it should suck. Paul constantly strives to improve his game, adding, removing, changing, and updating it to bring it closer to what his vision of his game should be. The fact that it is flash does not mean it should be another Mafia Wars, or Castle Age, or any other such "cookie cutter" rpg. This game is unique. Further, it is quite simple, to be frank, though it has become more in-depth by far than I would have imagined in season 2 when I started playing. Please reconsider your estimation that this is becoming like D2 or WoW though. I see more resemblance to one of the old DOS AD&D games, or perhaps even Zork, taken to a modern level, than anything like D2 or WoW. Any resemblance that you point out? Honestly, I'd say you're just mistaking a true (if simple) fantasy RPG for others simply because those too are fantasy RPGs. Don't let the genre of game fool you. This is very different.

Overall though, this is yet another in a long line of negative topics that benefit the community not at all. In spite of all claims of "friendliness" this is not a friendly topic. However, for all that, I hope you will give the game an honest chance. Forget about what you think you remember from "the good old days" and take the game as it is now. If you do not enjoy? Quit and move on to something more satisfying to you. If you do enjoy? Spend merely what time you can freely dedicate without negatively impacting the rest of your life, and join us in this game, for new players are an exciting event, and there are many who would wish you great success.

Bobb.. when did you get a dose of happy pills?? plz share.. where is the rage that you used to show?

I personally hate the update like most of my generation and dont really care to wait for the next epic failure of an installment. It used to be paul was active in our forums and the community. He used to care what people thought and actually did add a few of our sugestions into the game to make it BETTER for the COMMUNITY!. lately it has been ALL paul and SCREW the community. you can see this by the numbers of players today vs the number of players 2-3 years ago.

In saying that, it is pauls game and more power to him.. why would he give a shit about the community? has he not stated many times that if it were just him playing his game he would be just as happy?

If you like the updates keep slashing. If you don't quit. maybe when it is down to 10 or so a day he might reconcider listening to the people who play the game and add a FEW of our sugestions the way he feels they should be added. I always thought a strong community made a strong game.

this game is a direct reflection of its community. horrible and getting worse day to day.

I'm all for bringing back Season 9. Was the best version of the game I played, but it doesn't mean I don't want new updates.
