OK, the title is a bit misleading since I don't hate Blizzard. There are things I hate about Blizzard but I don't hate Blizzard. But now that I got your attention, we might want to share information and hopefully compile an article-worthy list. There was another Diablo related thread going in this direction, but it was getting beyond the original intended subject.

So in this thread please post about something you don't like about Blizzard. Do not answer another member's post to contest it or add to it. Just post your reason for hating something. If you agree with what someone else posted, show your agreement by "liking" the post. After a few posts we should have a list of teh most annoying Blizzard things and we can sort it by general consensus.

So here are a few "rules", just to keep some order in this thread:

  1. Only post a specific grievance. If you have more than one, then make a new post for each one.
  2. Do not repeat what has already been posted
  3. Do not post to counter any other member's arguments. Just let the "like" votes determine who is making the most convincing arguments.

 

P.S. This is an experimental type of thread. We can improve on it in future similar threads.

Blizzard are not very imaginative when it comes to names. For example, the word "Horadrim" is very similar to "Haradrim" from Tolkien's The Lord of The Rings. Also, the demon name "Azmodan" is very similar to "Kazmodan" which is a place in the Warcraft universe.

And it's not just names. The creatures surrounding this elf (and teh way they move) are strikingly simsilar to Kikyo's (Inusyasha anime) soul carrying spectres.

Character design is impractical/implausible even for a fantasy setting. Why would a demon hunter (that is supposed to make acrobatic vaulting) wear high heels?

Any why would the queen of blades be morphed into a creature with inegrated high heels?

And why would a demon hunter, that relies a lot on exploting his surroundings, have a vision-impairing-blind-spot-generating-oversized shoulder guard?

And I have not yet started about wearing armour everywhere except where needed the most.

Yes, I know Soul Calibur tops the list for character design that sacrifices plausibility for teenage audience titilation, but I would expect better from Blizzard.

Its a girl .. girls wear high heels, this also applies for the queen of blades

joking aside , the only thing i dont like is that i need to be able to connect online to play single player in diablo 3 , but saying that its also an imporvment from diablo 2 since i remember getting stuck in single player and couldnt get any help , with how diablo 3 is set up i can open the game for multiplayer if i need help. so i gues it has both is disadvatage as well as its advatage on single player.
