Diablo III Gets Paragon System

Image
Blizzard isn't just giving you better improvements on legendary weapon and character class with the upcoming 1.0.4 patch. They are also introducing the Paragon system, this system lets players who've reached the level cap to still earn experience in the form of paragon levels. What are Paragon levels? Well these are levels that go from 1 to 100 and will award the player character with certain stat boosts as well as a 3% to gold and magic find. With this new addition patch 1.0.4 is looking like one hell of an update. This opens a whole new way for plays to tackle gold and item find with it maxing out at 300% once you hit the paragon level cap and adds hours of playtime. Dust off those level 60 characters.  For more information check out the official Diablo III Blog .

Review Round-Up: Diablo III

Image
It's time to end the fight against evil. A few demonic lords remain and its up to you to put a stop to them and their invasion.  Words cannot express how brilliant Diablo III is, lets take a look at what the critics had to say: MetaCritic:   88/100 IGN:   9.5/10 Twelve years. Twelve long years of waiting and fans are finally playing Diablo III, and, if my recent marathon sessions are any indication, they will be for the foreseeable future. So many systems from previous Diablo titles have been improved, making for an approachable, rewarding and deeply satisfying treasure hunting game. It's addictive on a level few games can match, so much so that it's easy to largely overlook its flaws. Sure, if you want you could really nitpick Diablo III’s design, but ultimately any minor grievances seem so trivial when compared to the enjoyment I had and will continue to have with Diablo III for years to come. GameInformer:   9.0/10 Diablo III is a great game, and e...

Blizzard Issues Apology to Players

Image
The wait for Diablo III was long and grueling. Blizzard gave games a taste while they waited but that did nothing to sedate their longing. When the game was finally released they were happy, that didn't last long. Many players were struck with error messages; the most notable Error 37, which I myself had the pleasure of meeting. As a result of these errors Blizzard has taken it upon themselves to issue an apology to everyone. Diablo Players: We’d like to extend a very sincere thank you to everyone who joined the global Diablo III launch celebrations this week, as well as to everyone who was ready to jump into Sanctuary the moment the game went live. To that end, we’d also like to say that we’ve been humbled by your enthusiasm -- and we sincerely regret that your crusade to bring down the Lord of Terror was thwarted not by mobs of demons, but by mortal infrastructure. As many of you are aware, technical issues occurring within hours after the game's launch led to players...
