Might I offer you the same suggestion, Miljan? Remove the tinfoil hat, it seems to be interfering.

I know when the gate glitch bug was in game the next area was surprisingly hard for <lev 8, with moltens and wallers running around

Loved that area of the beta. The extra Champion and Elite modifiers really changed things up. YOu couldn't just blindly rush in and kill them anymore. Molten was particularly nasty for melee classes.

Can't wait till later with 4 of those modifiers on Champs and Elites. Going to be quite interesting to say the least.

Now imagine a whole pack of champions and elites, each with a ton of modifiers, on inferno difficulty.
Ohhh.. I'm going to rage so hard, so many times!

Ofcourse, a sequal will never be as popular as the original if the original was near perfect. Expecting otherwise is just plain stupidity on your part.

Ok well, you can go ahead and think with your head, and this dummy will continue to believe that one of the largest, most influential gaming companies of all time, creator of several franchises that each define their whole genre, will deliver on what they have said.

Madness, right?

Not madness, just blizzard fanboy.

Never said that sc2 was bad, but was not that good. Especially compared to sc1. For a e-sport, in korea its not that popular like sc1 is.

Again people trust too much big developers what they say.

Tagek "As I said, they have no doubt tested every stage of the game with all kinds of equipment, they know how hard it's going to be."

They cant test the game with so little testers compared to how much people will play it. Again i say, don't trust whatever they say. Try to think with your head.

the thing is, even if they gave me access to the full game and I said "yea its REALLY hard," my opinion is going to lack authority to persuade your own. There is just simply no way whatsoever to validate something like the end game difficulty of an unreleased product short of well, releasing it.

Its good to be a bit skeptical, but on the same coin, you also can't rule out that it might actually be hard!

Diablo 2 was pretty poorly rated in most gamersite previews, and the beta could be completed in 10 minutes. It ended up being so great its still played this day even with all its flaws.

Its certainly possible to make it TOO hard, the trick is getting the "right" level of difficulty so it isn't too easy, and isn't completely impossible, which with Inferno being tuned at level cap, means the balance will be found via itemization and boss mechanics, with the latter being less of a focus considering it'll be similar to the prior three difficulties in all likeliness.

Yup, trusting in one of the most consistant, most successful game companies, is being a fanboy.

I'm not saying I'm not a fanboy, I'm pretty sure I am.
But attributing trust to nothing but fanboyism is rather ignorant.

Also, I'm 100% sure you can be considered the exact opposite of a 'fanboy'.

Oh I know! Thats what's going to make Inferno so damn entertaining. The Champs and Elites are your random bosses now that can show up anywhere.

We don't even know half of the modifiers that will show up. can't wait to come across some new ones for the first time.


Molten
Vortex
Frozen
Waller
Knockback
Teleport
Vampiric


I think thats all we know so far?

^ Yeah, especially waller is going to be ridiculously strong on hell / inferno with large packs of mobs.

Well, how you see, i was right. The problem with fan boys is whatever the company does, good or bad, they will always say it's good. Hope your not that type of fanboy.

Believe me, I am not. I once loved bungie and their halo franchise. After halo reach, which I hated, that trust, in both bungie and the halo franchise, is gone.

Also, the semi-irony in your post is quite amusing.
