Blizzard forced to offer Diablo 3 refunds in S. Korea
by John Keefer, Jun 21, 2012 7:30am PDTServer and connection problems with Diablo III in South Korea have forced Blizzard to go against its previous policy and offer refunds to dissatisfied gamers after prodding from a Korean consumer protection agency.
Blizzard announced through is Korean Diablo III site that it would start offering refunds to players lower than level 40 beginning on June 25, according to the Wall Street Journal. Disgruntled players can apply for the refunds through July 3. Blizzard also said that, from now on, it would accept returns of the game within 14 days of purchase from any player under level 20.
The move comes almost a month after Korea's Fair Trade Commission began investigating complaints that gamers unhappy with their Diablo III experience could not get refunds because of Blizzard's no-return policy. In early June, Blizzard added more servers to ease the load of an unexpectedly high number of players joining the game, apologizing in the process for the inconvenience and poor planning.

Inversely, what demon hunter uses Nether Tentacles, Entangling Shot, Grenades, Spider Companion, Boar Companion, Preparation with Invigoration or Focused Mind, Vault with Action Shot, Marked For Death with Death Toll, Sentry with Chain of Torment or Spitfire Turret, Evasive Fire, Fan of Knives with Retaliate, or Strafe. I may be wrong on some of these, but it seems like 90% of the hunter's skills are useless.
