Bump - looks like they are handing out beta keys. If anyone lands an extra, pump me full of a PM with it and I will promise not to blaspheme your good name (or lack thereof).

I consider it more horror than anything else. A) Haunted house B) Evil house C) Malevolent house spirits So, yeah. However - there is a deep psychological element to it that almost makes you feel as though you are writing it.

What a psychological mind-fuck. If any of you are into horror, this one is disturbing(ly great). House of Leaves: Mark Z. Danielewski: 9780375703768: Amazon.com: Books

Started off as a short story about growing up in a trailer, my life on the farm. Aaaaaand completely morphed into a horror show about a kid who keeps a journal, with all of the entries building towards his descent into hell. You know, light comedy. Anyways, it's free on Prime. Or, if...

They are tossing around the idea of +unique drops from bosses right now. It's on the forums.

Haven't found an upgrade to DPS. Every great new item I find with big primary stats, comes at an even bigger cost to my DPS (no crit+, no cd+). Hang on to your old gear for a while. Oh yeah, almost forgot - <3 D3.

Is it fun, though?

Honestly, I never thought I would read that sentence.

This, so much. It would be cool if they found a way to bridge the temporary economy with long-term character planning, aside from being sent down to the default leagues after.

All the cool loot! Exclamation point!

Can't even read, but totally disagree.

Maybe I am just a dude from yesteryear. I probably can't avoid that. I don't know if I fit in with flashy pink butterfly's and Diablo-Has-Tits-Now crowd that totally accepts the bullshit being fed to them. Take the blue pill, forget about yesterday. Go figure.

I think you should examine why people care so much about the failure of D3. I can tell you that your assumptions are incorrect and that some people might add weight to this franchise that other franchises simply don't have.

Attach rate? I consider it a separate product. The feature set hasn't changed that much, but they have made some progress towards the "hook", though I think it's too little too late. I predict 2.5-3.0M digital, max. This could vary, but I think their marketing has taken a big hit from corp...

See, this is the mindset that allows Blizzard to perpetually destroy the Diablo secret sauce. They sold that many Diablo 3 copies based purely off of Diablo 2, clever marketing cross-franchise (Buy WoW for a year, get D3 free!), and other shit that had nothing to do with the actual game itself.
