Good Idea - Bad Idea: 1:10

Post by Deadalready »

Here's a little game I think would be some what fun to play, I imagine most of you guys have played the newest 1:10 patch for Diablo? Well if you haven't decided whether you want it or not this thread might be interesting to you.


Anyways, the idea is that you post one thing you like about the newest patch and then something you don't like. A pro and a rebutteral if you want, it'd be interesting to hear what people think.

Good Idea
Synergies are nice ways to increase damage and skills effectively

Bad Idea
BLIZZARD STOP "REBALANCING" THE SKILL TREES

Pro
No more whites, hexes, occy rings or any of that other bull excrement.

Con
No more whites, hexes, occy rings or any of that other good stuff.

damned if you do, and damned if you don't. the hacks where nice for getting a good solid gear base going so you could actually build a character based on your end goal as opposed to having to think only 1 or 2 acts ahead at a time. on the other hand, nothing is more annoying than a drive by PK by a lvl 99 with 40 hexes, whites, bugged shakos etc...

Good - The synergies open up a new style of play, as do the other tweaks.

Bad - Makes certain types/styles of characters very hard to play

Good Idea
Transmute your runes to even higher ones!


Bad Idea
Why can't I find any!?!

Seriously though, I started a new set of characters for 1:10 and my highest current character is a 71 Bowazon, even though she's in ACT V of Nightmare she hasn't even found a single Amn run yet or even a Tal rune WTF???

Pro - prolongs the game life as you have to keep playing to get the really cool items for your char

Con - Exactly the same as above!

Pro: Monsters are faster and have more HP:s

Cons: All the overpowered runewords like BoTD and Enigma that makes the game so easy so my grandmother could play it blindfolded.

Pro - hidden bonuses and graphics for some of the newer sets (Trang Oul's set).
Con - melee characters have few viable options unless one decides to use the runewords built from heavily duped runes.

pro: synergies, lower level skills are more usable now.
con: the game needs better comp. I'm not sure if this is just my imagination, but after installing 1.10 patch the games has lagged hell more than before the patch. But, as I said, this also may just be my imagination

Pro: Synergies make skills powerful

Con: To compensate they make the monsters so hard so that unless you have the best gear on ie. BoTD Enigma etc. you will die.

Good Idea
Many bot hacks are now redundant for certain treasure runs.

Bad Idea
Killing your favourite monsters and doing your favourite loot areas are on diminishing returns. What is the point of bosses and monsters respawning after a save and exit?

I think you exaggrate a bit here, I had no problems beating the game with several different classes without "godly" items. Obviously you cannot solo in 8 player games at Hell difficulty unless you have very good equipment, but playing together with 1 or more people, or soloing in a 1-player game is not difficult, it just requires that you have a built which works with all the immunities (ie not a single elementalist sorc).
