Paragon System Update from Blizzard

[konfeta]

Ugh. Well, that's one side of ARPGs I never wanted to come back to Diablo 3. QUICK, LET'S DISTRACT PEOPLE FROM THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO END-GAME BY ARBITRARILY GIVING THEM A NEW GOAL TO GRIND TO! AND TO MAKE SURE YOU CAN'T IGNORE PUT, PUT A SUBSTANTIAL POWER INCREASE TO IT!

That said, I like what comes packaged with it - MF/GF system as items being phased out, drop rate increases that should actually result in more legendarily dropping over time for people who suck at gearing MF + Killing (like meee).

Meh this is bad - makes the itemization even more linear.. What to buy now? always and everytime the same item will be best; there's hardly any tradeoff between speed & MF in the future. .And you'll just look into speeding up farming. Really a cap of 300% is way to low, it's already achievable now, better would be a cap of 400 or 500..

Also, this. The Legendary buff was a step in the right direction, but items still need expansion with core affixes that introduce more alternatives to the existing stat arrays.

P.S. Going to lvl 100 Paragon on Hardcore, donations and drinks on me when I make it.

so, 7 hour speed HC paragoning challenge?

edit: i guess a star ruby just got useful again.

It's an interesting addition to the game. A side bar leveling system. My first question was why didn't they just increase the level cap? But this is better since it adds new ways to MF, even for non-MF type of characters/builds. I like it. We'll have to wait and see how it plays out.

**** these loser changes.

**** these loser changes.

LOL....and double it!

All they did was extend the treadmill. You're still gonna do VOTA/Core runs until the end of time.

[Dreamcrusha]

Hell YES.

Here's my message to all the haters/whiners who keep coming back to flame Blizzard on any decision they make, right or wrong: ---- you, losers. Oh, and get a life. OK, I'll probably get banned for this. I don't care, I'm so happy right now.

Blizzard owns. Seriously, nothing else to be said. Still #1, anything else, even if good, pales in comparison.

you should stream it so we can all watch oh and i live in canada also so gimme your address and ima bring the 6 packs.

[Apendecto]

LOL....and double it!

This was my first thought. Gaining core stats "like a level gain"...why not call it lvl 62, 63, 64 etc?

Also, what is the harm in NV stacks for sub lvl 60 characters?

[konfeta]

The real question, what happened to them saying they will bring back first boss kill reward after normal?

[ShadoutMapes]

Oh well.

I argued for not having a MF gear stat before release, so I guess I should be happy about this. Even so, its a bit silly to see how much they can flip flop on their game design. Is Mitt Romney behind the development of D3 or something?

This is making Inferno even easier though. Which is sad.

I was always fine with the lvl 60 cap, so I'm a bit indifferent about 100 new grindy paragon levels. On the other hand, watching an XP bar grow up is part of the experience. It cant exactly make the game worse to have those paragon levels, though probably not better either.

In any case, DISAPPOINTED that the 500 kills = legendary item idea isn't true.
