The question you have to ask yourself is, do I enjoy this game at its most basic level? That is, a glorified hack and slash game.

If so, then there's your answer. If not, then what did you expect?

ugh sold off the last of my gold at 2/m

stuff was so much more when i shoulda sold and i KNEW i wasnt gonna keep playing this game

is anyone else upset at how bad d3 is? its basically the auction house and thats it. hack and slash arguement aside i think we should expect more of games these days. hack and slash was a product of its time not an idea

I play with friends with VOIP so it is somewhat fun since we are always talking about stuff.

Here is my usual run:

- Start at Cursed Hold quest for Warden
- WP to Northern Highlands and head to west border and check if the Watchtower is there
- TP and WP to Cemetery and see if there any loitering around outside
- TP and WP to Festering Woods. There will always be anywhere between 3-5 stacks here. I typically find 4.
- TP and WP to Leoric's Manor and go outside. You may find a pack inside, but there will be a guaranteed stack outside the front entrance
- If Watchtower was there, TPnWP back to Northern Highlands and clear the tower level
- TP and WP to Agony 2 and clear out any packs on the way to Cursed Hold
- Release prisoners and kill packs (guaranteed 2-3) and then go to middle to kill Warden
- Run through Agony 3 and clear any Elites or rares in the way
- Kill Butcher and save Tyreal's chump behind for easy 810 gold

Yes I realize that I could explore Field of Misery, Cathedral, and rest of Highlands but they are much bigger and takes longer if you are just item farming.

Me too, maybe I enjoy the social aspect of it more than the game play...

The game when released was ok. Not great, but not bad either. Patch 1.0.3 came along and broke many things. Now the game often just feels tedious to me. It is fun with friends, but when I am alone, it is more like WTH am I doing?!?

I just got to act 4 in NM, will probably finish it up tonight. Is anyone still playing that is just starting Hell and would like to group up some?

like other people said, playing with friends is my main motivation. i havent had a chance to play with OCN people yet though. if anyone is interested doing group warden/butcher runs, add me Daemon#1611 i have a semi-decent tank barb

for wizards, what is the average decent dps that a wiz should have? i have 33k dps/30k hp/no resist at the moment.

It just feels like an endless grind of nothing tbh.. Like I don't even know. In D2 I loved making new chars and trying new builds, in D3 it just doesn't work like that.

I dunno, I still love the game, but finding items like that legendary I linked a few pages back just diminishes my will to play. I've logged over 150 hours on my barb, about 80+ have been inferno farming and the most I've gotten from an item I've found was a blue bow at 1100 dps with some dex for 1 mil. Meanwhile my friend made around 30 mil from early act4 farming with his DH before it was nerfed.

I personally think the game would be so much more without the AH. It's not exciting to buy an upgrade from the AH. It is exciting to find one off a boss. (don't throw the whole "no ones forcing you to use it" argument.)

People did that in D2 all the time on d2jsp and ebay... the only difference now is that Blizz is the middle man.

I did see a funny ticket where a guy had sold a bow for $99 and blizz hadn't sent him the money or the bow in over 5 days. He had like 3 different GMs respond to him and they all thought that he was the one that bought the bow and were trying to dance around the issue.
