Diablo 3 Wizard Disclosure: I purchased the CE
-Updated Disclosure: I purchased the CE
from Amazon but they botched the delivery so I had to source it from my
local Gamestop instead.
The Original Release of Diablo 3 in 2012 was Blizzard's first major blunder in a history of sterling game releases.
While
the gameplay was fun and exciting and the game looked great and had a
great story, the driving factor behind these games is a sense of
progression and continually being rewarded for playing on harder
difficulties. The introduction of the Auction House ensured that you
would always find better items on the auction house than you could in
game. In game loot that dropped had a very small chance of even having
stats useful for your character and an even smaller chance to be better
than what you already possessed.
I spent hours continually
clicking the refresh button on the auction house listings, looking for
an under-priced item that I could resell at a profit so I could buy an
item I could use, instead of actually playing the game. After a few
weeks of "playing" the auction house I pretty much had the best items in
the game with the nearly best stats possible making the actual exorcise
of playing the game pointless.
Fast-Forward to 2014 and Loot "2.0" and Reaper of Souls.
Blizzard
Has taken Everything that was good about Diablo 3 and discarded the
rest. Items now drop with a much higher chance of being useful to the
character you're playing than before and there are much better chances
to get one of the improved legendary items.
