I might play HC when I have complete control of everything - Torchlight II.

I get too attached to my characters.. Maybe sometime when I have 5x level 60s

I didn't play heaps this weekend (Saturday morning, Sunday morning/night) but I didn't have 1 login error, got in each time perfectly. Strange...

Anyways, have now begun Hell difficulty.. WOW, this is where its at. Absolute MONSTROUS difficulty curve on champion packs. Last night, while in an Act I "dungeon", we came across a Vampiric|Shielding|Molten pack of scavengers. After 30 minutes of trying different tactics / specs / kite paths / gear loadouts, we got them! Naturally, the drops were not special, but this is the exact reason why I love this game. Some challenges are absolutely near impossible, but once you get em done...

I'm really enjoying Hell difficulty. The champion packs have managed to wipe us few times, but its so satisfying finding a viable strategy while constantly communicating with the team to take them down.

I can only imagine that that will get tiring very quickly. Massive exertion for no reward other than the good feeling of being able to down the pack.

The actual feeling or emotion of overcoming a challenge while gaming surpasses any combination of pixels for me.

Yeah for how long?

So something has happened which I could never have imagined, I'm bored of Diablo 3 two weeks after its release.

Sure I still eek out some fun when I play it with my mates, but I would have fun playing with them regardless of the game.

This is coming from someone who nearly lost his shit when he refreshed the Blizzcon splash page in 2008 to find the image of Diablo 3 starring at his face.

Yep, sadly you aren't the only one. Several people are already selling accounts and I am seeing my colleagues also getting bored / tiring.

I think that's the problem with good story lines. They are awesome the first time but later on you just don't care.

The AH is really hurting the important part of the game IMO. Why would you try to grind and grind and grind for that improvement if you can just buy it on the AH? The post from Bashiok also comes to mind when he said the ingame loot was adjusted because the AH exists and they have to assume that you will be using the AH.

All of the launch issues, login errors and the always-online stuff will also just be a growing snowball.

I am in the same boat I just get so bored playing it single player 4 player hell is dam fun but it took 2 play troughs to get there and now we getting drops 10 levels lower than we are only now and again we get anything even close to our level 54 it makes the game so boring.
We all now waiting for Torclight 2 to come out and play that.

Yeah the errors just really takes your will to play out of you. Also true about the AH seeing as most of the time you can get something way way better than what you already have. And they should let you be able to play nightmare and skip normal when you beat the game on the first go. Normal is just Shit.
