Diablo 3 is fundamentally broken

[Lissa]

Back to the original topic. What is it that you and Lissa didn't think I knew about Inferno? It's a couple of weeks later, and I have had a taste of Inferno. So far, I haven't seen anything that I wasn't expecting -- mobs with higher health, speed, and damage and elite mobs with one extra modifier. I haven't seen Deathwing or any Pac-man levels, yet. I don't think that what I supposedly didn't know was an intellectual thing. Instead, I think it was an emotional thing. "If you'd been beating your head against the wall of Act 2 Inferno, you wouldn't be saying such nice things about Blizzard." Or, "If you'd been beating your head against the wall, you'd also be making irrational statements about Blizzard's QA being better in the past."

I'll answer this one, you didn't see Inferno before it was nerfed. It's that simple. If you had, you wouldn't be making these inane comments about what you "think" inferno was/is like, you'd know. What Inferno is like now is nothing like it was. Imagine walking into Act 1 after getting through Act 4 Hell without much difficulty and the first white mob comes up and hands you your ass. Now lets throw in that you have to be in better gear to handle said white mob, this means either a) running Act 3 and Act 4 Hell over and over again to have a chance of making progression, b) going to the AH, be it GAH or RMAH and buying gear to handle the situation, or c) both. Now, lets say you play through Act 1 Inferno a bit more, get some money, get some good drops, finally kill the Butcher and say, "hey, let's try Act 2," and the first white mob you run into, again, hands your ass to you even though you can handle the Butcher fairly easily. Now, let's say you do what you did before running through options a, b, and c, but this time replacing running Act 3 and 4 of Hell over and over with instead now running Act 1 Inferno over and over. Then you get through Act 2 and walk into Act 3 and boom, same thing you saw before, first white mob you run into hands you your ass. You never saw this because you never reached there before the nerfs. On top of it, without ever seeing it or experiencing it, you proceed to arm chair general the situation and tell people that know what it is like and have dealt with it that they have no idea about the situation and you, being a master of the game, think you know better of what you speak when you haven't seen it nor experienced it. And you wonder why Bolty leveled the troll charge at you (which he was very right to do). I don't sit here and tell you people playing HC how HC is run and I don't pretend to know that much about it cause I don't feel the need to try it, but if you're going to tell people what you think something is like without knowing what it is like, be prepared to be called a troll.

The entire time you have been playing Diablo III, you've been in easy mode, where the game is balanced with a steady progression of difficulty and gear rewards to match it. That progression ends in Inferno difficulty. But you'll never see it now.

This comment of yours was made in the light of the 1.0.3 patch, which didn't bring about significant mechanics changes or player skill changes. But, it did significantly change the health and damage of mobs in Inferno and the availability of gear to handle them. So, by saying that the 1.0.3 patch fixed the most significant problems with Inferno, what you are saying is, "Mongo, you were right."

Here we go again, you again don't get it. While they lowered the damage numbers and health, there are still problems. "You just can't walk into Mordor," you'll still get your ass handed to you, just more slowly than before. Instead of being one shot or two shot, you now take two to four shots to die. That's not that significant a difference. In essence, just because a mob goes from doing 130% of your life in one hit down to 75% of you life in one hit doesn't mean that the situation is "better". So no, Mongo, you're still wrong.
