I'd like to open a business account <a href="

We're approaching the prlebom from fundamentally different points of view Yes, I'd like to see more made of the crafting system at all levels of the game. I think there'd be only a very small subset of players who'd argue against that!And another good point you make is this; yes you should be abl

They are buffing items in 1.0.3.

Shouldn't need to nerf of buff AT ALL. reason should be obvious.

@Jack Desert Post-release nerfing that quick stinks of bad design. Basically, catching something, but not spending enough to fix it initially. [url=#user_comment_140579] @Seirei[/url] It's interesting to see how SC2 & D3 can both be good games, but they can fall flat due to Bnet .2.0. [url=#user_comment_140495] @Pong[/url] D2 only had 2-shots at worst.

Some people seem to be enjoying this Inferno, just saying.
60 hours and I still haven't made it there.

to those that says "Make up your mind on nerfing or not nerfing" to Jo: The need to nerf should be addressed in playtesting, not right after release. Yes soemtimes you don't catch the need to nerf or buff but usually games should be left alone for the launch month before 'balancing'

Tbh its blizzards own fault for making it out to be more of a multiplayer game than an actual singleplayer game (which its supposed to be). Or maybe they just got some residue energy left from Wow they had to burn off, so the "balance" characters in D3 instead.

Just so you know, even an authenticator is useless when you join a public game and someone takes over your session.
This seems to be the most common method in hacking Diablo 3 accounts and no security mesure can help you so far, except for not joining a public game.

Shame that Diablo will take the same way as WoW.

[url=#user_comment_140381]@Abedeus[/url]: The enemies who one shot you unless you spend hours grinding older acts or chipping away at their health as you die over and over, and then them getting rid of the ability to even do that. That's not fun or a challenge, that's forcing a time sink that good games don't need.

So what happens if you load a screen with a naughty picture of Princess Sally?

The balance in this game is totally fucked up and I'm glad they're fixing it. Sometimes you have really shitty opinions.

In Blizzard balance is very important.
More important than anything else.

[url=#user_comment_140503]@ThatGuy[/url] There's nothing wrong with making a hard game. It's just that Blizzard seem to equate difficulty with gear checks. This video does a good job of explaining just what went wrong http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=u8CBbeSAjVo

WoW at everyone dissing the crap out of D3 because Blizzard is actually trying to make a hard game, not one that can just be exploited.
You have already defeated Diablo 3 times, so now your aiming to be the best. Real winners don't complain when there broken mechanics are fixed, they just move on.

They nerfed exploits like making a group of 4 monks literally invincible at all times and the wizard surviving any direct hit no matter what and only taking 35% of their health as damage no matter what it was.

If these are things you wanted to stay in the game, then why have gear at all?

Guys, Jo complained about a nerf all the way back in July 2008.

This is hardly the first time irony happened.

At this rate Diablo 3 is turning into the new TORtanic.
I knew I wasn't going to regret not buying this in the long run.

Meh. I'll just stay put till The Secret World finally launches. And, knowing funcom, till they fix everything they couldn't fix up till the launch. Apart from that, it should be an awesome mystery-horror mmo, I personally am sick and tired of fantasy mmos.

Luckily for me Blizzard already made my "don't buy games from this company" list when WoW cataclysm came out. I knew some stupid nerf shiz was going to happen. They ruin every game they have. They ruined WoW, will ruin Diablo and will ruin Titan too.

That's all they ever wear, so it doesn't count.

[url=#user_comment_140413]@Unrelated[/url]: Isn't it fanservice if they only wear shoes and gloves ? ._.

As a 60 wizard, I have to say that both super force armor and the infinite diamond skin/frost nova spam was friggin ridiculous.

Super force armor, however, was less stupid than infinite diamond skin/nova.

Either way, enjoying my wiping in act 2.

Maybe you should rename the comic "Nerf NO!!!" then? ;-)

lol the white on Knuckles chest is wrong it's suppose to be flipped.

[url=#user_comment_140413]@Unrelated[/url]: This comic was only up about 13 hours ago. That's not a fair comparsion at all. Stop trying to cause shit to get a point across.

Please, do some comic about the fall of 38studio i loved so much kingdoms of amalur... =/

You haven't tried Firefall yet?

@Namie: Clearly your not one of the active beta testers, otherwise you would know that a major overhaul will be coming to totally change the gameplay.

Damn this is a weird Sonic joke.

This comic: 37 comments, 12 notes, involves Sonic.

Last comic: 158 comments, 34 notes, involves a naked Engie.

Eight comics ago: 200 comments arguing about whether or not fanservice attracts or repels people.

Creator of a comic named Nerf NOW!! complains that nerfs are happening too fast

IRONY!??!??!?

You jump on the TV that shows Sonic Face to get a life.
He got all the seven chaos emeralds in the screen and then jumped on it, receiving them.

I play Diablo 3 and I played Sonic, and I don't get this comic at all. What exactly is the joke?

One reason I really like NerfNow is that the comments are optional, so you don't have to look at pretentious bitching about fun games if you don't want to. Also, Sonic's doing it right. Get Blue Spheres is fun, but not for completion purposes.

So Jo's site should be called "Don'tNerfNow"?

[url=#user_comment_140341]@NamieMcNamison[/url]: Have you been keeping up with it all then? Because they are overhauling it. And 80% of the features aren't in the game because it's a real beta, not an advertising beta like Tera where they don't give a shit what your thoughts are on the game.

This is basically what Blizzard gets for having one of the worst betas in existence, you can't rely on QA to catch balancing problems like this, and the public in your beta could only get to level 13 by killing the first boss of the game over and over again.

Rebalancing patches for game named Diablo is to be expected.

Have you tried Torchlight? I've been loving that recently.

Who here image-searched chaos emeralds on google after this?

you should make more dota2 comics.

Poor you, losing invulnerability on Inferno that wasn't meant to be soloed within first week of release.

Who're you crying about, DH who have 40k weapon damage and two to three times more DPS while remaining nigh-invulnerable or Wizards who were literally immortal on Inferno by stacking Regen?

People often seem to worry so much about being the best in a game that they forget to have fun nowadays.

I'm having fun with Diablo 3 right now. I have more worries about coop being less fun becouse of these people, then because of some rebalancing.

The difference between them and the majority of the community that's complaining is that they spent the time to get geared up. You can't expect to succeed in inferno act 2(350+ armor) with hell act 3 gear(150 armor). It has to all be from inferno act 1.

It's also not like classes aren't soloing Inferno(and I don't mean Method's corpse hopping trick to beat bosses). There are players out there soloing through as far as act 3 in inferno right now. I know of a DH(salui), I know of a Wizard(pick any of them), and I know of even a Barb(Krip).

...and it generates almost the same effect as using the new version of smoke screen except I actually tank stuff for the group now rather than having the enemies wander off and murder them instead of me.

Ehhh, the nerfs just brought them more in line with "not absolutely required". I play a DH, I never thought of using anything but smoke screen for personal survivability. After the nerf, now I use Shadow Power(20% life steal for 3 seconds) runed with Gloom(65% damage reduction)...

Torchlight 2 and path of exile for the win.

[url=#user_comment_140361]@remeranAuthor[/url]: Why? A several small aspects are broken and ruining the balance, and you think the best plan is to change EVERYTHING ELSE? Now you have an entire game worth of content, balanced towards the previous intended power levels, that is completely ruined.

What about torchlight 2? looks very good.

They really are doing it the wrong way. MMOs, fighting games, and MOBAs are different things. In MMOs and single players, you're supposed to buff everybody BUT the overpowered class and then introduce a new dungeon that would have been too hard before the buffs.

I didn't buy Diablo 3 so i'm not disappointed.

I guess what Jo said might actually be true, Torchlight II will get some sells now.

Sorry to hear about your loss of internet, that stuff is never fun. Would have been a perfect time to play some good single player dungeon crawler maybe, I hear there was something released recently right?

Oh, can't play SP offline? Good thing every one is constantly reliably connected then...

Eh, I can't really bring myself to play Diablo III. I was addicted to the first two, but the third being always online and now having nerfs? I'll stick to Guild Wars 2 and Torchlight 2 for single-player when it comes out.
Course I never bothered with WoW, and hated TERA... so I might be strange.

Nerf now, complaining about Nerfs. WHAAAA?!

I'm glad I didn't bother with D3 the more I hear about it... They should take a cue from Guild Wars, separate skill versions for pvp and pve, means they can balance things for the former without screwing those who just want to have fun killing stuff. Diablo3 should have been SP, and MP optional...

@??????????????????:
I agree with Questionmarkquestionmarkquestionmark, you should make up your mind, Jo.
To nerf or not to nerf, that is the question.

LOL, is Diablo getting "balanced" already? For a game that took them so long, for a game that they hyped up so much ... that's just pathetic really. Shame on Blizz for that one.

I didn't buy it yet, and probably won't ever, as long as the "always online"-mode is still in place :(

Nerfing OP skills is "forcing you to have fun the right way" now?

Whine less, L2P more.

[url=#user_comment_140336]@Barzyk[/url] Have you ever played the Megadrive/Genesis games? They were great! Never really played the rest as I became a full time PC gamer after that gen.

Don't bother with Firefall.

I'm in the the beta and from a basic design perspective it's just another pointless grindy piece of shit MMO.

Unless a future patch completely overhauls the fundamental design of the game it's not worth a look.

That other day you complained about nerfs.
Then you complained that several things in games should be nerfed.
Now you complain that games should not get nerfed.
DECIDE FOR ONCE JO, DO YOU WANT NERFS OR NOT???

Ack no, Stay as normal sonic, you suck less then (No really, They really dropped a boob on Sonic generations's finale due to this)

Shame the only real good, best thing about Sonic games is the epic music.

(Maybe this'll cause a flame war... sorry.)

Well, that sucks.
