Yes, a lot happened with what I thought was a year.
It turned out it was two
years away from Diablo 3. If you don't remember or I need to catch you up I am
down to do so.
Basically, in a very
easy nut shell what happened was my Diablo 3 account got hacked and my WOW
account also suffered the same fate. A fate that would not destroy my want and
need to play both games.
Well last year when this
happened I got an authenticator for safety measures. With the authenticator
attached I felt just that more goddamn safe. Therefore, I thought all was
well and Blizzard would take the measures to make my account really bad ass
again from the evil hackers. Normally, I don't promote hacking but I find it
highly intriguing. With this in mind I was super goddamn pissed when my account
got hacked to pieces.
Would you not be? I mean
sure Diablo 3 had a shaky-ass release.
1) Constantly Online
2) The bull-shit DRM
3) The drops were utter
shit.
What happened with this
tale?
Well, I'll tell ya. I
had a support ticket either for years or not. Basically, I had no idea but two
years had gone by. Still I longed for the reach of Diablo 3. I would say touch
but that sounds like some horrible harlequin romance novel. Anyway, I wanted
and yearned to play Diablo 3. My friends kept saying that it had gotten better.
That loot 2.0 was in bound and would change Diablo 3 for the better. Also, what
was happening now was Reaper of Souls was on the horizon.
Would it be a good
horizon for Blizzard. After horribly mucking up Diablo 3 at release. Sure it is
way old news but the story grows on and gets better.
Blizzard yesterday
unfroze my account. Sure they needed my driver's license. But they unfroze my
WoW account which got hacked God knows how long. For Fuck's sake this almost
seemed worse than Duke Nukem Forever and the legend attached to it. That DNF
would be vapor ware with the thirteen year ear mark. So now that WOW account
was unfrozen and Diablo 3 was finally playable. Thank you Jeebus!
Goddamn, two years when
I think about it, nay, ponder it was to goddamn long to not have Diablo 3. Like
I said Reaper of Souls is actually releasing in March sometime. Therefore,
Blizzard must have figured out the community was getting very angry. Again, the
launch was piss poor. I blame some of that on Activision. I don't like those
guys. Blizzard seemed to rectify a dissmal drop system and try to make all the
gingerbread diabloites and gingerbread diabloiettes happy.
Loot 2.0 would be that
small hope or prayer.
What I noticed when
playing Diablo 3 the improved version :
1) Loots are tailored to
the class. I play a bitching hunter she is capped lvl 60 and has 18 or 19
paragon points.
2) Paragon points were
added to get ready for Reaper of Souls.
Paragon points dictate stats like base stats and are a reward
for capping. There's no way to get above 60 aside from buying Reaper of Souls.
So they are nice addition.
3) Cain's book was added
and portals and scrolls were taking out. Though, now you just have to hit T to
open the portal to town.
4) The drops were so
good. I had lost two orange items when the account was hacked. A beautiful mask
and I believe bracers. Fuck! Well with just 10 minutes of playing I was able to
re-gear. I now hit for 80 K in expert.
5) Inferno was no longer
a difficulty. The new difficulties are normal, hard ,expert, master and
torment.
6) 50% experience points for the release of Reaper of Souls.
Goddamn, if I am not relieved about having both accounts
unfrozen. Sure there was weight on my shoulders from it. Atlas I am not your
friend as I have flung off that big-gigantic globe on my back and launched it
in the sea.
Fuck you globe!
I am so friggin happy I can play once again. Yes, as I mentioned
I am a hunter lvl 60 capped and am enjoying life. She is beautiful she adorns a
gold breastplate. She has pink angel wings. Her feet resemble chicken feet but
are emblazoned in gold. She has a bow that deals punishing damage of 1208 per
hit. And her mask makes her look like an aggressive warthog. Her name is the
Blue Dahlia and I love her so.
I am happy Blue is back.
Now it's time to fuck up demons and kill Diablo again and again.
My fervor for Diablo 3 has returned. My vivacity for the whole game is with me.
