Am I the only one who sees the irony in recruiting from the D2 mod community when PoE is unmoddable?

Just my 2 cents He's incredibly bitter about D3 for some reason. He was also incapable of accepting constructive criticism of his mod and was throwing hissy fits when people didn't like some of the changes in 004 version. Like, for instance, monsters that had ability to chain-shield themselves for 12 seconds straight, if there were 12 of them. People complained, and I complained as well - what's the fun in stopping for quite a long time, jumping around monsters, because you can't hit them at all? Or when he decided it was a good idea to lower the experience gained from last 5 levels, so people would have to spend hours upon hours of grinding to get from 115 to 120. Even with experience orbs it took a long time. He's a good modder and he has good ideas, but his ego has really inflated over the years.

Great D3 bashing. They love D3-bashing on Incgamers, hehe. It's a great idea to have him working on uniques. D3 is a great reference to how it shouldn't be done. I don't think anybody had any interest in how items worked before D3 was released. " Abedeus wrote: " Progammer wrote: About the interview, personally I think it is quite bad.

I can definitely relate, if he is making mods just for the fun of it, and people complains. I don't think PR is that relevant when you're a single person modding, hehe.

Great interview! I just hope someone is spell-checking Brother Laz' item names.

Interview is okay, but I disagree on a few things, for example: Diablo 3 is not dead. It surely isn't as populated as it should/could be but saying D3 is dead is just flat out wrong. I truly believe that BrotherLaz is a competent designer but let's just wait for some more of his unique items... I'm a mathematician - I like proofs. ;)	Posted by Asphael#3027 on Nov 2, 2012, 9:31:25 AM Quote this Post
