inferno was fixed like over a year ago

If by 'fixed' you mean 'nerfed' I agree. But nerfing Inferno to make it easier to complete and not fixing/ignoring the problems with the end game was a complete waste of time imo. We'll see if these changes bring D3 to what it should have been in May 2012, AKA a sequel to D2.

inferno is only easy 2 complete if you set it 2 a monster power level that's low. You choose how hard it is.... obviously though the harder you go the better the drops.


might check it out on console... everything I'm reading online basically says the console version shit kicks the PC version.

Console version is definitely better at the moment but it's because the console version basically already includes Loot 2.0, giving a reason to pursue end game. Various other balance mechanisms were put in place as well. It's crazy how effectively they mapped the controls to a controller, the UI is very, very well done. I was reading an article that was saying the loot system is broken, and that's OK! He found a 1,200 DPS staff at level fifty five on his Monk in the console version (my paragon seventeen wiz's weap is only 1187 but it's a 1h). LOL He was basically one shotting bosses. Side note, I don't believe there's any MP in the console version but I'd have to check to verify. Here's the article if you're interested.

I was getting ready to pick up the console version before they announced these potential fixes to the PC version. Now I'm waiting until March 18th. I'm really confident after everything I've seen and read they're taking this very seriously and know exactly where they fucked up and how to fix it. Can't wait to log in and see no AH.

Nice! I'll be interested to hear your impressions after you put in some time. I'm curious as to what features made it into the console release and which were axed (and vice versa).

[maynard]

well I haven't played the PC version in about 8 months... so not 100% sure which features were swapped or moved around etc....

all I know is I'm enjoying playing it on the console more than I ever did on PC.... it actually feels like diablo on console... and the controls are fucking amazing.... they did such a good job at re doing the controls for a controller... blown away.... oh, and loot 2.0 beyond kicks ass.
