Q u o t e:
So why would you want to? If you want something different to be required, play something different. Having to assemble Khalim's Will or kill Nihlathak with every character gets old two characters in, that is why nobody does it any more. Making it a required part of the game ruins build variety, makes new characters that much harder to level, and worst of all means that you have to do it all 3 TIMES to hi Guardian/Matriarch/Patriarch.

Don't restrict the play of other simply because you are too lazy to require something of yourself.


You are misunderstanding me. I want to be competitive and have fun at the same time. Just like most people. I also enjoy playing with other people rather than by myself. Since most people rush and do baal runs for the same reason I do, it makes playing the game the right way more difficult. Ask a person doing baal runs over and over again (not using a bot) and see if they are having fun. Then ask someone playing through the game getting quests done in a large party on their new, unconventional character. I bet the second person is having much more fun.


Q u o t e:
I did get your point, but you missed mine. If all the skills killed equally fast, everyone would use Thunderstorm or Holy Fire aura. If you nerfed those, they would use Frozen Orb and Strafe. Nerf those and they would use the next-easiest spammable setup with top-tier damage.

Sure they could buff existing skills, but as long as they give us more than one way to deal damage players will see one as optimal.


Yes you have a point and maybe certain skills shouldn't be as powerful but should be vialbe builds. But Holy Fire wouldn't be the best skill in pvp or pvb (player vs. boss). I will repeat, my main point here is to balance the skills. Whatever brainstorming that requires.


Q u o t e:
Did you read what the other posters said? CAPTCHA can be programmed to be beaten, so the only people who will continue to suffer in the long term are legit players.


So can any other anti-hacking measure, that doesn't mean you don't try.


Q u o t e:
Hey man, they don't come to the place you work and slap the Big Mac out of your hand.


I would expect them to If I had my worst worker make it for them, take an hour to make it, spit in it, and tell them in was delicious.

I do very much like Blizzard and I appreciate them still trying to improve a game so old, I was just trying to make a point that just because they said it can't be done, they mean they can't do it.


Q u o t e:
How can you say you've played this game for years while thinking that maphack is any kind of necessity? Human players can run the more popular maps without it just as well as the cheaters. The random-gen map is one of the great things that keeps this game from getting old. If you want to see your map, play single player.


lol I'd take maphack in any bet. I'm not worried about it, it just seemed like something to make the game slightly more enjoyable for legit players.


Q u o t e:
They still do. Seeing as how it pops for every game on that server though I don't see how changing it should be a top priority.


Ya I don't care enough about it to worry about coming up with a better way, just think there could be a better way.
