Yes, 2012, shortly after premiere. It was awesome.

When most were crying they can't kill wasps in Act 2, but I finished game with 15k dps monk. Rares were actually making truly unique builds, no two characters were the same. One rare drop could make you progress next 5 quests. You could look down on the crybabies spamming blizzard forums "baawwww game too hard blizz nerf pls". Auction House was actually fun and you had to work towards getting those good items, or maybe snipe them if someone fucked up. It was viable gold sink with its 15% tax.

It was fine until loot 1.5? Or at most 2.0, when making char was so effortless, game gets stale after 15 minutes. Now it's the worst it has ever been. Start new character, new season, after 3 hours you're clearing Torment X wearing full set. Bull-fucking-shit. Pro teams will do that in 1 hour.

I miss Diablo 3. RIP sweet prince, 2012-2013.

I totaly agree on that. Actually had fun back then. Gear became available far too easy.

D3 Permanently ruined one of the greatest series of all time. I used to have respect for blizzard as a company...

They don't care about games that don't have monthly subscription fee's or massive micro transactions for them to get $$$ (Hearthstone).

Gone are the days of SC2 and Diablo with only content purchases. Blizzard won't be making these games for much longer.

IF they make a Diablo 4, I bet it will be similar to WoW and be subscription based.

If they are smart, they would follow PoE's example for D4. Make it free and entertaining/interesting game, and start adding cool stuff that will make people pay for it (but only to enhance your gaming experience without affecting the game, like better looking gear, etc). But we all know Blizzard is now run by uninspired idiots, so most likely that wont happen.

I agree with a lot of what you said. Actually, all of it.

If blizzard came out with a solid product, I would have absolutely NO issues paying $60.00 for the game and however much for Xpacs.

Just make a good fucking game, not a Cartoon Mess where a butterfree pokemon kills Dekard and you can't trade.... DIABLO and you can't trade.

Fuck it, Blizz should sell the rights to Diablo to GGG and have the PoE dev team make it.
