Diablo 3 players on Xbox 360 and PS3 have noticed their fellow adventurers are duplicating items or modifying them with outrageous stats. Blizzard doesn't seem worried about this and, frankly, they shouldn't be.
Who says a dud game can't have a video game comeback?
Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky have to be up there. We're lucky and cursed, equally, to have games that can be updated now. For folks old enough to remember the Sega/SNES into PS1 and even 2 eras, if a game came out that was half baked (*cough*Angel of Darkness*cough*) that was it, no redemption. At the same time, having the option for updates shouldn't be an excuse for half assing games.
I remember when the Nintendo Seal of Approval meant something.
All those games had to release without bugs.
Diablo III still works on modern PlayStation and Xbox consoles, and remains hugely playable a decade after initial release.
Diablo III: Season 28 brings with it the Altar of Rites, an altar full of unlockable bonuses and potions that will require the gathering of tons of resources. One of things needed is the Staff of Herding, which also unlocks the famous Cow Level known as Whimsyshire. Here's how to craft that staff, for those that either have forgotten, or have never completed it.
I care a lot,see whats the point of playing a game if your going to be some one who breezes through the game with no chance of getting killed.Why not just put the game on easy and walk through it that way.I hope this sort of thing gets nipped in the bud next gen as it has destroyed online gaming on this one.
Duping is not even necessary... Now if it was Borderlands 2 and their TERRIBLE drop rates....
Never really understood the cheating that goes on if it is duping or the need to be top of a leaderboard by some exploit.
Doesnt it feel hollow. Like not really your victory??
the duping of items is the little detail, that ruined the whole game for me, the whole. On PC they fight botters, on console they gift you with ways, to simply dupe everything. D3 is an online game and should be treated as one, even if you play local coop. Blizzard should imagine how much money they lose, just because of this little detail. They said they have learned, but they somehow always manage to implement something, that destroys the whole experience and this time, it is duping your character with an USB Stick and being able to play those ONLINE! They should've done it like in D2 with closed battlenet and if a friend wants to bring his account to your playstation 3, then he has to log in on his account and gets access for this one time. Not that hard to think of a working solution, but Blizzard just did not give a damn about it. They ruined the console version and since the whole skillsystem was so absurdly made, so you can simply play it on a console, because you can only use 6 skills at a time for example, which is perfect for controllers, they also managed to ruin the PC version because of that. At first it was not clear, why the skillsystem was so wierd compared to Diablo before, but when they announced the console version, it became absolutely clear, so you can have an equal experience. They destroyed the best gaming franchise, because of consoles, they were so into the idea to bring it to consoles, that they just destroyed the PC version and shitted on every real Diablo Fan, who played the game countless times and is the true fan of the franchise. The console version had hope because of no auction house, but as it looks like, there is no, because it is soooo easy to dupe. I hated the AH, but I believe they didnt get rid of it, because of reasons the gamers told them, it is just to hide the fact, how easy somebody could dupe items.
The only way it would cause a problem would be if:
If there was online PVP,
If duped items bugged up other peoples saves in Co-op,
Not sure if the console versions have leaderboards, but I guess that'd be a legitimate reason to care, if that's important to you.
