The reward? I play this video game in my spare time because I enjoy it and it's fun. That's my reward. Your opinions are null and void. This is another example of your argument, "I see others getting good grades in school, I want good grades too! But, I don't wanna put the work in cause I'm lazy. I wanna reap the benefits, without work!" Can't have it both ways.Originally Posted by James
Lol.. the reward in upgrading a character. If you find this fun good for you, this is my opinion loll. It was fun playing, maybe if you read.. i've said this will help other players not just me. But yeah I guess you're right, but not maybe all these players have as much time as you.
1) And there's the snobbish attitude again about lecturing me about teamwork as if I haven't tried that already. I have (typically with the veteran players, go figure) before, and now since around the time of the patch there have been a lot less people doing dreamland or crucible runs at least not right now. A clan I joined recently wants to do just that though, but the band is rarely on at the same times. It's pretty much me and Donte most of the times so far as the clan goes. So far as playing in general goes, it's usually myself qtp, his brother, Boozy for the time being, acculla on and off, most of the times. Everyone else is either doing rushes, normal cows, torches, trading, going afk, and occasionally doing inferno cows.
2) Why would I have to talk to Blizzard about anything? What's your point? It's a completely different ball park if you want to compare this server and game to what it was in the past.
3) Since the patch, dreamland boss drops aren't really even worth it any more especially since there's a good chance you can get some of the items they drop from the cache of Azathoth. The only thing worth getting now from them are probably the mark of the dragon slayer, the eyeball charm and the set items.
4) Noob friendly would be if zods dropped normally in regular cows, and I never asked for that. How about you and all the other people here actually read what I posted before making such a comment. I only asked that the difficulty curve felt more rewarding and less of a grind so that newcomers actually would like to stay and maybe play as different characters and builds, but if you prefer to keep this server an all exclusive club, then by all means keep things as difficult as they are now or worse if you want to go with Lampo's suggestion about either making regular cows harder or removing spectating. The rest of us though would actually like to have fun.
5) I have no idea exactly how bosses or drops were prior to the reset, so a comparison of the bosses now to then is meaningless. I have no idea if the bosses before 1) had the same HP, 2) the same defense, 3) do the same damage (which from what I understand supposedly Azathoth is weaker than he was before and yet I still see him constantly one shot even veteran players so...I don't know how exactly he is weaker), 4) have the same resistances, and 5) have the same drop rates which I know that isn't true anymore. I'll admit from what I've heard before even starting this thread and experiencing the patch, things ought to have been easier than they were before, but my experience and what I've heard from others who weren't around before have not shown this. You would have to provide me with more information to believe things are just as doable now as they were before AND the drop rates were as good (good luck trying to prove the latter).

Consider that person extraordinarily lucky then. If everything happened to fall from the sky for me a week or two ago maybe we wouldn't have had this thread.

Pretty much sums up what goes on for pretty much every new player's experience and those of us who may have been here for about a month or less.

I've been trying that recently, and I believe I have more mf than that guy and so far no luck. I will try a few more times, and I better see some results.
Funny because that's how much time I've been putting for a few weeks now. Why else do you think I'm frustrated. And yet all I hear from the older players is to play harder, trade, team up, read the wikis, etc. as if I haven't done all those already. Yes, I've made progress since last I started this thread, but it's still a snail's pace and with the same characters/builds and players if I'm lucky to play with someone not afk.

How? Tell me how many more people are preferring to play as the elemental or shapeshifting druid, the frenzy barbarian, the poison amazon, the foh paladin, the "hammerdin", and the martial arts assassin compared to the other builds. I'm sure things are better than once the server began, but it's still pretty much the same 3 to 4 builds for everyone (i.e. bowzon, zeal or smite paladin, poison or golem necromancer, and a barbarian usually for support mostly).

And most of that stuff Boozy got was from older players wanting to help him because he's a newcomer. I would know because I've done just that and seen it in person (that is him getting stuff from others). That and he's been pretty lucky. Seriously any time he's around me good stuff does tend to drop, in fact I think on one of the first regular cow runs we did a tor rune dropped andthen the next game a zod. He's a lucky sob, and I do mean that respectfully. A similar thing happened to me around the 1st week (minus finding all those stuff), and it was thanks overwhelmingly to the older players which only goes back to my point that they pretty much are the ones carrying everyone else at this rate.

You've been playing less than a month lol. I was referring to item builds but if you want to talk about class specs we can do that too. Before 3.2 sorceresses were non existent, summon necros were unthinkable to kill things, and summon druids? Don't even think about it. All elemental builds are much more potent now with the new piercing mechanic. You do realize I am literally a 1 man team with a toddler and another full time job? I think it is already extraordinary how much I was able to get into patch 3.2 by myself. I already said I will be working on making more class specs viable in the upcoming patches. You're being very rude and unreasonable.
