I wanted to get some tips on Rogue and hopefully some build ideas, and holy Tyrael, is that place a cesspool of toxicity. If you havent played the game, from the opinions of the locals you’d had thought this game is the worst thing since WW2, every class is basically unplayable and unless you can steamroll bosses 20+ higher than you in nightmare dungeons, your opinion is basically worthless. Any interesting discussion gets swamped by trolls and unconstructive spiteful comments. I had to stop going there because I felt it actually impacted my enjoyment of the game.
Anyone else had the same experience with the official forums?
Yeah, I thought the two subreddits were pretty bad… and then I visited the Battle.net forums. Holy crap.
Battle.Net forums, regardless of the game, have always been a miserable experience. You have severely pedantic developers and admins. Then you have some of the most neckbearded min/max players on the internet. They will get into squealing arguments over 5pts of DPS on a WOW character build. It is truly an awful place to hang out.
There was that one guy on the Rogue sub-forums spamming and demanding they unnerf his Twisted Blades build. He even had a catchphrase, like “reFun or reFund”. Unintentionally hilarious.
