Keep in mind that when the console version launched, it was the better version. People were pissed that the PC version was essentially a beta test for the console version.

That's a testament to how broken the PC was in vanilla.

Was that East 51st?

Cause pets are ******* awesome.

Sorry to hear he's gone, sounds like he was an awesome pet.

He can die all he wants, nothing lost.

I know that. But, to be brunt, no one should compliment crap for being slightly less crappy than it was before. The changes I see in 2.0 sound good. And there's a reason everyone is talking about D3 like it's a whole new game.

Thing is, the absolute groundwork of loot 2.0 is what is required for the game to exist without a AH feature, purely because of their limitations around building.

Those limitations were always something I disliked about D3; they were a significant departure from the build freedom of previous games.

In those games, the loot system matched the build system, because the loot system provided you with items you could use, always, because you could CHOOSE to be speccing that way.

Whether or not that system was better isn't really my point. Maybe people like having classes linked to item types and stats. That's fine. But the loot system needs to match it.

Loot 2.0 does that, and that's why it's great. Loot 2.0 gets the fact that there is nothing fun about looting an awesome axe as a Demon Hunter when your weapon is 5 levels behind and white quality.

This console crap doesn't.

And that makes this remain a bad game to me. You can't have a loot-centric dungeon delving game with a loot system at odds with the progression system. That just doesn't make sense. It's really, really bad design.

I'm so torn right now about whether or not I want to keep playing. I really don't want to have wasted the cash. But if I continue to have such bad luck with drops, getting upgrades isn't even going to be fun.

I mean, getting an upgrade should be a "YAY" moment, not a ************* FINALLY" one.

Are you still playing a version back at the point when they expected you trade stuff on the auction house?

Because that's the only way I ever remember upgrading anything way back when...

Edit: I mean I hope not and all, because that would suck at this point.

So wait, just because I'm curious (and wouldn't mind hitting 10k before I have to leave for the weekend) how did we end up with the PS3 version and not the computery version again?

So we put this in the same trashbin as his bathroom encounter then eh?

That really is a pity. It wasn't so bad with the AH, at least at the point you're likely at. There was a ton of people playing at the time, and many things were at least remotely useful for someone, so you'd just throw it up and use the money to buy something you cared about. It wasn't that bad unless you were going after some time of magic find or gold find kind of thing, plenty of stuff worthwhile for having fun on your first couple of passes through the game.

Just got my first legendary!

SpoilerIt's for a monk.

That's ENTIRELY too much effort for how limited my free time is.

What the hell?!
