Blizzard basically screwed their ownselves over with greed. It was great, except you can't get the gear without going to the auction house. I cleared inferno pre nerf with Barb, pretty much the worst class. I loved it back then, the game was very challenging even with the right gear. You are right that D3 was challenging when inferno existed. It is still a challenging task for players to aim for, and claiming that D3 is piss easy because gr70 is easy is equivalent to saying act 2 of PoE is easy, PoE has no challenge.

It is perfectly acceptable and understandable. Not everyone will enjoy pushing greater rifts. Of course, this activity provided by D3 is not for everyone. You think GR70 is anywhere near remotely challenging? What? 2.6.1 is designed for you to beat gr70 with even a rock.

What is a challenge in D3? Pushing GR100+ solo. But if you're okay playing whatever difficulty (GR rank) your character can handle, there are so many fun builds out there using skills that are ranked C, D, or F, on the tier lists.Last updated at 14:00:17 UTC Weekly Help Desk RAGE Loot Thread Trade Thread There are really only a dozen builds worth playing if you want to maximize your xp/items. If you're not interesting in getting good, and just want to have fun with it as a solo game there are a bazillion fun builds to do. New D3 you keep reopening rifts.īut, BUT, here's where it gets interesting. Original D3 you had to keep recreating games. New D3 you need well suited party for the high GRs, but speeds can be done solo. Original D3 you needed a well suited party to handle the tough content. New D3 you easily find the gear you need through crafting/cubing. Original D3 you easily found the gear you needed on the auction house. New D3 you grind extremely easy content (Speed GRs) for items and xp, then extremely hard content for gem upgrades (High GRs) Original D3 you had to grind extremely difficult (Inferno) content for great drops to exchange on the auction house for what you need. It is true that it is much more balanced and bug/exploit free. (I exclude at launch because of the technical issues they had) If you didn't like D3 a month in, you probably won't like D3 now. I love D3, but I have to play a little Devil's Advocate.
