Blizzard has fallen to greed (Kainzo, you'll LOVE this....lol)

[DagothAgahnim]

Just.....read the link. I'm morbidly depressed about these decisions and Diablo 3 is now off my to-buy list permanently, I'll just get Torchlight 2 next month and be happy. I am done with Blizzard, I've lost my faith in them.

Microtransactions have taken over Diablo 3, and chinese gold/item farmers now have the green-ligjt from Blizzard while modders get a big 'fuck you'

 

[Kainzo]

They uh... have been trying this for 3+ years hah

Let's just play TL2

 

[DagothAgahnim]

but not so thoroughly

yeah the ingame pets and such in WoW were a start, but they didn't effect gameplay.

Blizzard has been an abomonation for quite some time... I don't fully blame Blizzard... I blame the greediest man alive... you guessed it, Activision's own Robert Cotick, C.E.O.!! There's a special level in hell reserved solely for him...

Thanks for playing. Fuck you, Kotick.

 

[DagothAgahnim]

Kotick needs to be shot, plain and simple, for Blizzard to ever recover their dignity again.

 

[Apherdite]

It won't happen. He's infected them.

 

[DagothAgahnim]

unfortunately that seems all too true. I finally left WoW after 7 years of loving the game because they ruined it with Cataclysm, but I was still loyal to Blizzard for Diablo and Starcraft. Now I've lost all faith in them and will not purchase D3 unless they AT LEAST allow offline gaming with it. I don't give TWO SHITS if I can't take my offline chars online, it worked just fine in D2.

 

[Seratt]

Fuck blizzard. Him and smedley can both eat a dick.

 

[Apherdite]

I'm soooo glad someone shares my intense loathing of Kotick.

 

[iReggressionZx]

Diablo 3 was planned to come out like 40 years ago.. now this -___-
Thanks for posting, not buying that anymore!

This is what happens when you sell your soul to the devil (AKA Knobby Kodick).

Also, search for "Knobby Kodick" on Google. It knows exactly who you're referring to. ^_^

Activision ruined Guitar Hero. I refuse to move to rock band because its expert guitar mode is too easy.

Also, for every 1000 WoW subscriptions Activision funds yet another cod game T__T

Wait. What? Im stuck on Medium!

 

[Dielan9999]

Wait. What? Im stuck on Medium!

I can beat Through the Fire and Flames by D.Force on expert on GH3, and on Greatest hits(slightly easier)

I also beat Stach Boogie, Fury of the Storm, Raining Blood(with 5 stars), Cliffs of Dover(97%), Bulls on Parade(with my back turned to the TV), and all kinds of other fun shit. It's fun

It's even easier when I have Ironee backing me up on expert bass

 

[Brutalacerate]

Ummmmmmmm like Diablo 2 wasn't full of D2jsp (Real Life Cash) items anyway. Haha. This is just providing a LEGIT/SAFE way of doing so, but I am against it, and D2jsp.

 

[Dielan9999]

So in a big FU to blizzard, on D3's release date (or before that if you're interested) we should all download and play MedianXL mod!

If you don't know what this is. It's an overhaul of D2. Much like Heroes is to Minecraft, it uses all in game content to produce new skills (such as the dropping book of identify because inventory is full animation, a hundred times over, for a new hurricane-book hurling spell for sorceresses) change the classes, and add a whole new expierience. New doungeons were added, you need to be lvl 10 to beat the den of evil in act 1, and the level cap is like 150

 

[Demonxman]

lols. I've had D2 for YEARS.... never got into it because the game was only full of twinked out pally smiters with a fuck ton of full rejuvs..... or maybe that's just me?

 

[Ribido]

I think it's a good idea, at least if you decide you want to buy something it will be safe and built into the game.

 

[Apherdite]

I only play on Hardcore

Haha, I'm so on with you for this one. Kotick was pretty much responsible for the dissolve of Infinity Ward, one of the best game dev team responsible for the "better" part of the CoD franchise. And I wouldn't be surprise if he was behind the whole thing about the pay for map unlock crap that they were doing for MW2 and BlackOps, MW3 might as well be a subscription based FPS. And he fucked up big on Guitar Hero with DJ hero and all that shit.

TL;DR, Bobby Kotick is a greedy bitch and should die in a fire. Also, Blizzard is a sell out.
