The other annoying thing is that the numbskulls at Blizzard HQ nerfed Barbs based on what level 25 twinks were doing, and now every other class can kill Uber Lilith 5x faster than Barbs. Well done, dipshits. Do these idiots just sit in their fancy HQ eating paste all day, or what?

Another gripe I have with the game - they confirmed that the ultra fancy rare uniques are in the game, they're just very very rare. To the point of winning the lottery rare. So they may as well not be in the game at all. How do such gigantic imbeciles work their way to the top of gigantic companies, and into important positions in big games? Do they think we'll all enjoy living vicariously through the three people in the galaxy that ever get to see a Shako? Fucking hell. Three-month seasons, and even the insane 16 hour-a-day streamers are never going to see a good drop. Meanwhile, the uniques we do see are mostly the kind that make you cackle at how fucking awful they are before you instantly vendor them. The gear situation is pretty bad.

Nearly 86 on my Barb now. I think I'm just going to grind out Nightmare Dungeons for the rest of the way, as that seems to give the best experience. Keeping the mobs a couple of levels above you is the best balance, apparently. The butcher was foolish enough to get in my way a couple of times again today, and actually dropped a horsey trophy- The Butcher's Cleaver! I was chuffed when it dropped, but it seems he must have only taken his travel cleaver with him today - the thing is tiny on my horse. (It is cool that there are still quite a few drops you kind find though, despite the temptation there must have been to put everything in the real money shop.)

It's kind of fun actually. you unlock words every so often if you murder a bunch of skeletons, and you can change things around. It's worth having a quick look. You can be a tough guy with a fancy name, or you can be silly with a weirdo name (which I'd highly recommend.)

With D3 I think it was the opposite - almost no bugs, but server issues galore. There's always something.

Ha, yeah, I have a couple fo caches saved that required level 80. All garbage, too. From 60 onwards everything has felt very safe, but this one dungeon I just met an elite with bad affixes before my buffs were up. I really wouldn't fancy playing hardcore in this game. And that's even before you consider the bugs and the lag and whathaveyou. The game is a complete shitshow from a technical standpoint, still. Pretty piss-poor from Blizzard that so many things still haven't been fixed. Like, the fucking quests.

Oh, here's something actually. What does everyone have as their title? I'm a 'Titan Coordinator'.

Not sure how much value PvP will ever be. i think they've said that it won't ever be balanced properly, so really it's just going to be a case of running away from HOTA Barbs and hoping for the best, until the next dominant meta, and so on.

I barely die at all these days, but I got completely splatted at the start of a Nightmare dungeon yesterday. Ran in, and the first guy I find is an Elite. Just, pop. I'm invincible when I get going, but catch me cold and you can fuck me up really easily. it's a shame they haven't managed to move away from that style of gameplay.

Italian players have historically had a mixed time in the PL though. Will Tonali be a Zola, or will he be an Aquilani?

The way I see it, the release and pre-season 1 is just for us to get to know the game, its systems and efficient (or enjoyable) ways of achieving things. I haven't levelled a second guy for now, but I imagine I'll be much better at it next time around. Not sure what I'm going to play in S1 though. Might stay Barb, but I'm definitely going to play Sorc, Rogue and Druid at some point too. The only class that leaves me cold is Necro. 82 on my Barb for now, and not minding the grind while I'm being distracted by levelling up glyphs. I'm really not keen on the way gear works, with how rare upgrades are, but the paragon system is great. I upgraded my Marshall glyph to 15 the other day, and the increased radius meant I could remove 5 points from the area and use them elsewhere. That felt really good. It's just a shame gear is boring and Blizzard is so scared of powerful builds that most uniques do nothing more than give your bank account a nice bump when you vendor them.

I like Mount as a player, but Chelsea's alternative is keeping him and letting him ride the bench for another season before losing him on a free, so United probably could have gotten a better deal there.

I'm sure he'd go to City if that was the only option, even if he'd prefer to stay in London. Arsenal will have to stop messing around and put a serious bid in.

I'm 81 and a bit at the moment. Mostly grinding Nightmare dungeons to level up my glyphs to level 15 for the radius increase. They go pretty quickly, and the experience is nice enough, but a lot of running to random places as the Gods of RNG aren't keen on giving me repeat keys to the same places.

So is this the start of Newcastle's early City era equivalent? I wonder who their Danny Mills will be? Sitting in his pants, not even going into the same room as a football, and getting paid obscene weekly wages for an eternity for it.
