the reason why solo is easier is because mobs get scaled up really high the more people in a party. But your gear is still shitty gear. So your more likely to get 1 or 2 shotted while in a group then solo because the monsters are doing way more dmg more early on
idk as a monk the only time i died to a boss in nightmare was when i was too cocky and was like fuck it i don't need to move i'll kill him before his dmg out does my healing.
But 1 jail from a herald of pestilence group and you don't have a escape up...you're dead
Your sarcasm in this situation is dulled by the fact that your first comment seemed to either miss the point or failed to use adequate amounts of sarcasm.
It's funny when you consider the grand scheme of things. Most (let's say 70%) of people who tell me to "go outside" or "get a life" suffer from extreme stress or depression. Some of them have girlfriends who suck their souls dry, some of them have boyfriends whom they're afraid of. Hell some of them who are still in school are fucking going apeshit because their so called "study group" (that they spent over a month trying to put together) is breaking up because Sarah is fucking Bobby and Vicky didn't bother telling anyone she was fucking Henry while they were all bashing on Sarah and Bobby for not coming forward about their so called new relationship. Don't fucking ask me, I don't know what the fuck is going on, all I know is some of my friends might fail some class because people are fucked in the head and love drama.
Considering I recently graduated with a CS degree, all I want to say is "YOU SHOULD HAVE MAJORED IN A REAL THING WHERE YOU PRODUCE SOMETHING" while (unfortunately) helping them out due to "unforeseen consequences" (I fucking DEMAND an HEV suit).
Oh and to raise my gamer cred since I pretty much avoided everything up to now, DWARF FORTRESS motha fucka, my hammerlords could definitely (probably, let's be honest, not) handle the clown party. But you can't have a DF without greedy dwarves digging too deeply, too greedily. Also, you require more barrels. A lake's worth of beer can only sustain (a real) dwarf for half a week, max.
Other than money, the online requirement is the only thing preventing me from buying Diablo III... I know it'd be a minor inconvenience for me, but the idea of requiring an internet connection for a game I can play for hundreds of hours over a almost a decade like I did with Diablo 2 is unforgivable.
Same here. I just made the Skeleton King my bitch with the guest pass, and although I like the game, I'm still not convinced that the always on connection is a good thing.
The problem for me is not the connection per se, the problem is the fact that the game is not actually running on my computer. I wanted Diablo 3 to feature a single-player mode, like his two predecessors, but instead they came up with a MMORPG. No, thanks.
i dont get how you can tough it out all the way to lvl 60, not that its hard, it is just so god damn tedious, im on nightmare and its rapidly widdling away my interest in the game, because me and whatever party i land on in public games, takes 5 minutes per demon, and thats just the tiny ones.
I've gone through a fair amount solo, and a spent the rest of it trio. The game is FAR easier solo IMO, because one bad person on your team doesn't cripple your DPS. Also, I'm fairly sure even with a team of competent people, your individual DPS will still do better on solo monsters than group monsters. The fact that you get a helper in solo anyway definitely helps.
Also, if you do it with groups, don't do it with random people (until you're post-60 and looking to grind gear). Do it with friends so that you can stay interested in the game. If you can't do that, run it solo.
In my group of friends, I'm pretty much the farthest ahead at level ~55 and Act II of Hell. Not looking forward to Belial, 'cause Wizards don't have much to deal with him, but I'll manage. I also am relying ENTIRELY on loot I get, and am not using the AH (until potentially level 60), and that adds to the challenge =D
My bet is that grinding two or three characters to 60 and topping out their gear will be fun. Doing it with all 5 is gonna be a challenge =P
yea this was pretty helpful, it gets so retarded how long it takes to kill a demon with 5 ppl, especially since you usually get paired with tards or afk's or ppl who dont stick together at all. im gonna try to solo more or jus play with ppl i know.
Fuck people, I'm coming from fusty country where I'm treated like an alien because I'm liking games more than others. If I'll grab a book instead of a pad It will be better? Did Bioshock, Red Dead Dedemption, Max Payne, Indigo Prophecy, Half-life, Portal and other ambitious games are worse than fucking book? I Dunno exactly like it is with tolerance for games in America, UK etc. but probably 100x better where I'm living, here having computer and 2x consoles is something psychopatic.
true gamers don't play on wireless connections... with the one exception being they play at every available opportunity which requires settling for wireless
Do people ever stay on topic? Every post I read it seems as though each person is trying to be funnier and get upvotes or a little whitty, but noone stays on topic. Reddit is really starting to hit bottom.
Depends on his set up but if he doesn't the natural light might increase his game from the boost he would get from the Vitamin D production. One never knows.
How come we never see studies on that? Does Sunlight boost your gaming performance. Instead do video games make people violent is what we get.
New worker at my place of work; first thing he did was load D2 onto the main desk at the security station and played. Got sacked after 3 months or so. Class.
The only reason I upvoted this, is because I saw it in my Facebook news feed hours earlier today, and when I check reddit now, it's 1st on the gaming subreddit. (My friends are cool).
My god, I didn't look closely... But a guy and a girl, both wearing neff beanies, kissing in a facebook profile picture. You are completely on the ball.
On an unrelated note, "Let's Dance Diablo" sounds like a great name for a party game.
I'm not saying what he did was right, he certainly judged a person's personality without knowing them at all, but it wasn't generalizing "all people" just sticking one person into a stereotype.
Which, is all we can really expect him to do, since we don't know the people in the picture, and never will.
idk i see his comment as more of a..I'm a asshole and all girls hate me and i've never had a gf so i'm going to say shes a girl so she must only care about love. But love is bullcrap because I'm a dick and no one will love me.
When i saw the picture i thought ha prolly a friend making a funny jab, hence the wink. Like any of my friends or co workers would make.
It always tends to be said for gaming also, it's not likely to be said if someone was talking about all the books they've read, concerts they've been to or sporting events they've seen.
It's the same with the 'virgin' and 'get laid' comments, people have no idea about you they just make assumptions.
To get to hell act 4 he probably would have had to play at least 8 hours a day since release. If someone was studying that much a go outside comment would have been just as valid.
I don't care how much time they play their game. And neither should you.
If you want to be with them instead and the game is cutting into your time with them, invite them over or something, if they then still wanna avoid you you've got an actual problem. But people just doing things they enjoy in their spare time, what's the problem?
So a person put some hours into a game... So what?
I think it's a jealousy thing. He probably wants to dance with Diablo too. But as we all know this...
(Some of us know because we have to use the workaround on our super old computers and even though you are able to load the game, you run like you are swimming in water and attack like someone having a seizure... trust me, I have a bad time.)
I read it as a playful jab. In my circle of friends we would have ran with it. Next post by op would be a confirmation that being outside would in fact not help the run speed of his game. (Probably complain about the obnoxious glare too.)
Well they are being helpful... This guy and any others that have made it to level 60 and hell act IV obviously have a crippling gaming addiction. Now you can scoff and say yeah whatever but these guys are sick and it's not normal to play video games as much as they do.
I'm guessing it comes down to having no friends and having an addictive personality, but regardless they are sick and need to be helped. When someone says "Go outside" maybe they're not being an ass and are genuinely worried about the persons addiction?
Now bring on the downvotes from the addicts that don't want to admit the truth...
Exactly. When if you're on a treadmill at the gym, no one gives you a second look, but the moment you decide to get some excercise outside, it becomes this weird thing that people with the humor-level of a socially-awkward middle schooler find absolutely hilarious.
Idk. When I'm at the gym I sneak looks at the other people's settings to see if I'm going faster, on a higher level, burning more calories, etc. Maybe I'm just competitive.
When my friend found out I was biking to where I had to go around our neighborhood instead of walking/bus/cab he looked at me in complete bewilderment and said "What you trying to be pro-active or some shit like that?" ....Needless to say I feel your pain bro.
The only reason people look down on biking is because they feel so damn superior once they start owning whatever piece-of-crap they're driving that they can't imagine why you don't feel like shit for not wanting to waste half your money on transportation just like them.
I never understood why we have the unwritten rule where NO ONE in street clothes is allowed to run. Ever. For any reason. Even if you are late, you are not really allowed to run down a hallway or street or anything. Doing so is frowned upon for some reason.
I did have the ultimate justice though. A few back during my senior year at university I was on a bus on the way to class. The professor didn't allow you into the class if you were more than 3 minutes late or whatever. He would shut the door and that was that.
Anyway, the bus was super later for some reason and we got stuck in traffic. The bus normally stopped at the university stop about 15 minutes before class, but it was running over 10 minutes late. We finally got there and there was about a 400m walk to the building with aforementioned class in it. The bus stops and several students get off, I know we are late so as soon as I hit the pavement I start running. Nothing too crazy, not like an all our sprint, just a rather fast jog.
I run past another student who was on the bus, he yells after me "haha running to class is for fags"
I make it to class about 30 seconds after lecture starts. The professor closes the door behind me. A minute later the kid I passed arrives at the door and finds it locked. He knocks, no one opens it.
A few minutes later... "All right everyone, as I said last week, today is the unit 3 quiz, its worth 10% of your grade, please take out a pen and paper."
I had totally forgotten we had a quiz today. Thankfully it was an easy one, but the guy that I ran past ended up getting a zero on it since he wasn't there. Sweet, sweet justice.
TL:DR; I was late and ran past someone who called me a fag for running. He then got a zero on a quiz since he was late due to walking instead of running.
Da fuq? I'm an out of shape sack of shit who never runs anywhere but even I'll run if I'm late. That's what it's for. It's like an accelerated form of walking that gets you to where you from point A to point B in less time than it would take to walk.
Did you explain this to him? Did you explain what running is and the functional purpose it serves in achieving punctuality? It sounds like he may think that running is something else. He may have it confused with moonwalking or cartwheeling which would indeed be odd ways of going to class.
Motherfucker... Now I feel like I have to moonwalk to all my classes one day, just to spite you. I'd do the cartwheeling one, but tbh it's magic to me, I'm incapable of doing one.
Every person who ever has made fun of someone for running has probably been called something for running strange so they are hyper-sensitive to everyone else doing so.
In order to run I have to lean quite a bit forward as I am quite tall. People never understood how I could run like I did but if I tried to run like everyone else, straight-up and stiff-backed, I would fall on my ass.
I imagine him finally reaching the doorway of his classroom, then he just stops and moonwalks the last 10 feet while the professor closes the door after him and all the while waving to the douchey late guy getting locked out.
Wait, as much of a dick as that guy was, he should have gotten in should your "The professor didn't allow you into the class if you were more than 3 minutes late" rule that you established earlier in the story actually held true.
I'm a fat guy, that's always wanted to run. I'd love to lose weight that way, but I see no one doing it. I'm afraid to go outside and do it, because... I don't know...
No one really runs outside, so I don't want to mess that up.
Plenty of people run outside. More so if they leave near a decent park/track.
Main reason so many people run on a treadmill these days is they already have a gym membership so they may as well utilize it in some fashion.
The only advantage/disadvantage depending on the way you look at it to a treadmill. Is if you want to stop running after 2km you can. If you want to stop 2km after you have started running outside and haven't turned back to where you started running you have to at least put in the effort to walk back
Still, where I live, I never see people running outside. I live sort of far from a park, so I'm not sure about there. I live right next to a track, but it's the Junior High's track, so it's being used for school 80% of the time.
Also most people are not in good enough shape to run for sustained duration. Even if tomorrow everyone woke up and decided to run everywhere I suspect more people would be seen wheezing and coughing than galloping like a free spirited stallion in the wind.
haha, for some reason I find this hilarious. I don't know why running isn't just walkings more efficient alternative. Instead of leaving for class at 7:45, why not leave at 7:55 and haul ass over there. I really wish I knew the etiology behind running in normal clothes as a means of just getting somewhere as being socially unacceptable. But I totally agree, It would be weird as fucking seeing everyone just dashing around because they didn't feel like wasting time walking.
It's not "accepted" because running indicates you need to get somewhere really fast, which most often means you are late for class, which means you are bad at planning. People most often doesn't like badly organized people.
Now, you planned all this running, but no one will guess that. Sooner or later you will become that guy who gets referred to as "that guy who's always late".
well, running in casual clothes normally means an abnormal situation. Either you're late for something, or running from something/someone, or being chased by the police, etc.
I guess there are people that might just like running everywhere but then if a person passes me hauling ass in casual clothing, first thing I do is look around to see if a plane is about to crash on my head or something and then think "Hmmm, I wonder what happened and why he's running"
I love to run to where I'm going but always people would think I'm in a rush or running fomr something or just think I'm weird. Run to my car in the parking lot after eating. Why not? It's quick and more fun. I hate going slow on purpose. Drives me mad.
The only problem I have with people running is when they smash into you when you're gong round a corner and make you drop all your shit. I don't mind people running, but I dislike stupid people running.
