Is D3 Boring?

[Penncrow]

Please note that I played D2 for the longest time and had no issues described below. And lets be honest, D2 can be very repetitive.

I like D3, it has flaws, but I believe Blizz can/will fix this in future patches. My problem is that I sometimes find myself dosing off at my keyboard while playing. It could be late at night or early afternoon, doesn't matter. I would do the head-bob thing when playing. I have a lvl 52 barb. For basic mobs, I would leap in, ground stomp, war cry, earthquake, and start cleaving. I have them on 1, 2, 3, 4. So I just type each one as I approach a mob.

I think there could be a few reasons why I dose off playing D3,

1) Tired, working 8 hrs and playing D3 until 2-3am might not be the best idea. Although this is the sleep pattern that I have for the past 10 years. If I am not playing D3, it would be SC2, or watching a tv series, web browsing, homework, etc..

2) Playing the barb? Could the char be too simple to play? without too many viable attacks?

3) The game is too easy. As I say this, I am currently in Hell and getting my behind handed to me on a plate.

4) I hope this is not the reason, but could D3 be BORING?

Anyone else have this issue?

I played the beta and it was boring. I didn't enjoyed the game as much as I did in Diablo 2 ... so I decided to cancelled my Diablo 3 collector edition and continue to played League of Legends cause this game is just sooooooooooo fun.


I dont regret it cause a lot of people are already in Inferno and I cant imagine myself doing Magic find runs until the expansion comes out. Total waste of time ...

For me Diablo 3 is a ghost town

I don't find it boring, but it certainly doesn't make me hunger to keep playing the game like Diablo 2 does -- I've also grown up so much as a person since D2 came out that it's rare I find a game I can't put down, the last one being Resident Evil 4.

*I liked League of Legends more when it was called DOTA and required more skill

I wrote something linked to this question in this thread today, page 2 last post http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/s...s-happen/page2

Basically to summarize I complained a couple of days ago and was one of those diablo 3 haters but today I started having fun again in the game. The game do have many flaws one of them being items only being focused on rares so it don't inspire you as much to magic find since there is no clear direction and goal. You can't "hunt" certain items, like say farming mephisto because you hope to gain a shako or herald etc.

However I used to think that it felt like hitting a brickwall when fighting hell monsters, that made it boring and felt like a marathon killing stuff. BUT what changed it for me was gearing my barbarian better. When I got a good weapon I started killing things fast even with a non 2min cooldown build(no earthquake and the like). This made the game fun again at lvl58. Atm I am in inferno and actually killing champion packs. THe fights are very fun and reflex heavy. You need to run in and out and dodge lazers and frost bombs all over. However it doesnt take ages to kill like it used to for me while in low lvl50 in hell. At least not in act1 inferno. Things will perhaps change but game is fun atm at least. Though later acts will almost certainly not be possible to solo but I can't complain about the fun now. Feels just about right in difficulty in inferno first act.

At times I find it boring, but sometimes I enjoy it.

However I am yet to be amazed by it. It definitely did not have that wauw-effect.

Do people really get amazed by games anymore? The last game I was ever amazed by was Mario 64 on launch day because it was revolutionary. I've been a gamer for 25 years and nothing really amazes me anymore, it's all "Been there, done that"

As much as I have my problems with D3, combat gameplay is fun for me. Blizzard should receive credit for the AI, the smoothness and the dynamics of the gameplay.

edit: Ah a completely positive post from my side, better change that: Something which I'm not too fond of is the overdone effects, they strain my eyes if I play too long.

I'm having a lot of fun with it.

The combat has good depth and requires you to do more than actually just spam 1-2 skills. Teamwork is rewarding (snaring monsters, positioning) and solo play is challenging.

The auction house is amazing. I filter whatever item modifier I want, and get the item I want. I don't have to spam chat channels looking for a trade neither have to hope for lucky drops, I just gather gold and buy whatever I need. It is pretty addicting to keep looking for gear improvements, as it is with every Diablo game.

The graphics are gorgeous and attention to detail is great. The landscapes are really beautiful.

Of course there are things I miss from Diablo II but we must accept it is a NEW game experience, not just a Diablo 2.5.

The AH is for me at least filling the role of "mephisto runs" more then actually hunting items playing. I have often sat spamming for certain items with mods and as soon as they appear with 2d time left its a race to check the stats and asap press buyout if good. You can find alot of good deals this way but takes some time investment. The 60 weapon my barb use now for example I got for 80k this way and the pricing of it probably should have been at least 200k+.

I've played ~72 hours so far. I guess I enjoy it. Playing on hardcore keeps you awake.
