But if I’d been in the midst of a boss battle, let alone a boss battle on hardcore? Big problem. Take a look at our 3 active The Green Reaper coupons for October, 2021. Did it matter? Not really, because it wasn’t a high-stakes moment. In one particularly egregious example I swung at a barrel five times before it broke. Ninety percent of the Reaper of Souls audience will never notice or care that it’s always online, because they’re tethered to a gaming desktop or whatever, but on principle I find the practice distasteful, especially in a case like Diablo III, where it’s completely unnecessary.Īnd even on a steady connection, I still had a few instances of rubber-banding and lag as the game tried to communicate with Blizzard’s servers. As someone who’s on the road a fair amount for events, you never realize how often you’re without an Internet connection until you need one. There is literally zero apparent reason why Diablo III needs to be always-online except that Blizzard wants it to be. Before, Blizzard could feed us this line about “Well, we’re afraid people will cheat and then bring down the integrity of our sacred Auction Houses.” It was a poor excuse then, and now it’s nonsense. It’s boring to even harp on this again, but Reaper of Souls is still always-online. It’s interesting that such a small feature was enough to psychologically derail an entire game, but it goes back to the fact that players always try to be “most efficient” at a game even if they have less fun in the process. Blizzard has removed the built-in shortcut of the Auction Houses-both gold and real-money versions-making it actually worthwhile to hunt for those legendaries instead of buying your way into powerful items.

Legendary loot items are rare, but not so rare you give up and stop playing, which is a good thing since you can’t just turn to the Auction House anymore. On the other hand, those “other builds” were by-and-large useless a barbarian with high intelligence isn’t a viable class as far as Diablo III’s rules are concerned.

On one hand that removes some aspect of character customization, since there are only a few builds you’ll ever find equipment for. Item drops are more often than not tuned to your class now and will typically fall within a narrow band of skills your character might find useful, whether you’re playing as an old favorite or the new Crusader class-a heavy tank-type character who can summon a horse at will or call down the power of the heavens to smite enemies. But suffice it to say that loot is fixed, or about as fixed as it ever could be. The fact that Blizzard implemented its updated Loot 2.0 system into vanilla Diablo III a few weeks ago is an amazing gesture of goodwill, since it removes one of the $40 expansion’s greatest selling points.
