I've already heard their reasoning and it's terribly thought out.

They're convinced that having control over the bare numbers behind your character will in ANY way affect the way you play (besides whether or not you can block).
They're idiots, I tell you. Yapping and yapping, complaining so hard at blizzard's practical change to the game because they're so damn used to this dysfunctional stat system that they IMMEDIATELY meet ANY innovation with absolute mindless whining.

So...



Eat a dick, because I don't care if I'm not the best at diablo 2. Unlike you, enjoying the game is my purpose. Get some taste.



Nothing more was to be expected of you than to pull the '10 card. You think auto-stats are a bad idea, after all.

I mean, guys, if you're not going to use your brain at least put it to good use and add it to your milk shake.

I agree with you. If Blizzard is making auto-stat and it rages these kids enough to make them not buy it, I say, THANK GOD.

Of course they will still buy it anyway no matter how much they complain...

auto stats ftw no more vita hungry noobs

that sucks i like making the best char and owning all you noobs that cant build chars

aka no-life nerd who gets his confidence from working too hard on a video game character.

Stats are not fun.

Would you like me to pull out the definition of a 'game'? So you can understand the fucking point?



agreed... noobs will be noobs

To some people, D2 is a 'hobby' moreso than just a game. Call them nerds if you want but stereotyping people like that just makes you ignorant.
Some work a day job and even go to college and find time to turn it into a 'hobby'. You play it for fun, cool, they play it for fun too but what you find fun isn't what they find fun.
Diablo II gets boring after you have 'been there done that' in every PvE aspect, so you turn to PvP. PvP is a competition, deal with it, it's basically a sport to some.
When you take away what defines the difference between the amateurs and the pro's your taking away the only thing that keeps each person playing for longer than a few months.

In Diablo II, sure the stat builds were cookey cutter, but there is A LOT more to it than that. Ofc you are noob so you don't know about that yet.
You say "Enough strength to wear gear". Let me point out that the gear choices which dictated these #'s weren't so cookey cutter sometimes and each class had different builds.

Imagine if the Sorceress stats were automated to max strength at 45, max Energy at 50, and put the rest in Vitality. That then makes the ES Sorc NOT-VIABLE anymore, therefor hurting the variety of the game.

You have Zealers who had the choice between Grief, Ebotdz, or other decent melee weapons. They could choose between a few armors, a few gloves, a few shields, etc. Not so cookey cutter.
If the stats were automated to max strength at 70, every Zealer would be forced to wear Enigma to wear Zerkers and their damage would be raped, therefor making THAT build NOT-VIABLE anymore, hurting the variety of the game.

Just because the rules in spending the points are the same, doesn't mean the gear chosen to wear, which dictates the spread of those points, doesn't give it variety.
In these ways, it makes builds EVEN MORE cookey cutter because it also dictates what gear that class can and cannot wear and the only variance between builds will be the skill builds which there will always be a "Perfect spread" for those, so EVERY char will be built EXACTLY the same.
Basically, each class will be limited to 1 or if your lucky 2 builds instead of several because YOU can't decide how much strength YOUR build needs.

Back to my original thought, THIS narrows the gap between the Amateurs and the Pros'. I'm not going to play a game where everyone, even the noobs, are equal in skill.
D2 is a competitive game, some take it up as hobby, some take it up as sport, some play for fun, but it's the people who take it up as hobby that keep that fucking game on the map.

iono.. i guess you gotta give it a chance to know if it sucks or not..

No, there is enough room for accurate prediction if they choose to adopt this Stat feature.
The prediction is that each class will only make a build or two and every single build will be exactly the same.
If you can't see that coming then I'll post this "I told you so" for you to reference 3 years from now.

name one

just one, come on im waiting...

oh, and yeah, i forgot one "build": bow ama -> max dex



what?

i never said i saw paradise in anything or whatever you meant, work on your grammar please...and read before you post and if you just dont get it read it again and if you still dont get it just dont reply, your just looking ridiculous

dang..
