.....but yes I have wow annual pass.
Good excuse you found yourself there Grax, right :P
For me D3 is a good excuse to get away with buying a new laptop.
-

-
2 days before end of exams, fuck yes.
-
Hells yes I am!
-
If the Iron Edge group that is playing it remains awesome, hell yes!
-
Probably not.
-
The person who tries to stop me playing this beast is getting a Spirit Bomb upside their head.
Swordbaba here I come !!!!!!!
-
Unless they change or give me the option to change the witchdoctor voice i will probably end up with a wizard.
-

-
So what class is everyone going to play? myself i will be playing a Demon Hunter and just take as many evasive skills as possible and rockets.... lots of rockets
-
Hells yes!
Not quite sure what I will start playing, either Wizard or Barb most likely. Wish I had a Beta key to test them out before hand :(
-
Decided. After watching each hour long vid made by Emrys for all 5 classes , I will be a Witch doctor!
It seems to be the nearest thing to a necro so despite how amazing wizards are , i will be
playing this instead.

Here is sum witch doctor gameplay on the beta. If you are gonna look at the other gameplays i reccomend going for the ones Emrys posted.

-
STRUNG BAREZ... ERRR, I MEENZ BARBRAIN SMASH AN KEEL DEMANZ!!11
-
I'll be playing monk :D
-
Fuck yes i'll be playing it for sure since i also have an annual pass. Not sure on the class yet.
-
Finished the beta on all chars, only take about 2.5 hrs. I'll definitely not play a Witch Doctor.
-
Seem rubbish or just not your cup of tea?
-
Could be either, but it took me about 2-2.5 to clear with all classes except the WD which took me 3.5hrs. It's slow and boring in my eyes
-
Perhaps they start to shine late game, though no idea what lvl you can get to on the beta.
-
Beta is only to lvl 13 or so.
-
How the hell did you get hold on a beta key then Yoica?
I'll probably be playing pewpew lazors.
-
the luckers wife got picked for the beta :)
need to make a battle.net account for my wife!
-
The reason on I logged onto my wife's account was to cancel her wow sub and then I noticed it!
If you want pewpew lasers you should play a demon hunter! They have a stormtrooper full automatic laser ability.
-
yes.
Good god yes.
Monk, then witch doctor, then sorc, then demon hunter. Fuck barbs. (Fuck you Ben! ;D)
-
yes.

Sint found the forums?
Yoica is so jammy.
Its all about the funky monk.

Hey now! I've replied to the dota threads as well.
241 posts!! zomg!
-
werent half of those posts in a mafia thread?
-
quiet you
-
quiet you
No, you!
-
How the fuck does sint have so few posts -.-
-
I'm not quiet sure which order I'll level, but the 1st 3 will DH<>monk<>Wiz then Barb then WD. My first char will probably be decided on what the others in the midnight release level group will be.
-
Baba.... Allllllll day long!!!!
-
Read Yoica's post, checked battle.net account....sad panda :(
I refuse to play a hunter. It's going to be either a mage or WD then i guess.

It's only the 1st Act you can play. Think of it as only playing a starting area :P

If you wanna play and you somehow dodged my stalkiness: Andersbbrandt@gmail.com or Skymunken#2325

We played through it last night -- Sint, Tyler, Palmar, and me. Lots of fun! Bit easy -- but am sure it scales.
Also maybe a bit simplistic? Though there seemed like some cool combos we could do, if we tried -- frost nova, snare, ranged DPS, etc.
-
I tried to get on it last night, gave up about 11pm.
Will do some tonight.
Quick question, this "battle tag" thing, is that a seperate entity to my battlenet/wow/sc2 account? Or already have one due to wow account?

If you go to b.net you can set battletag on the left hand side there right above authenticator options, udnno what the tag is tho :P

Don't forget at the start of D2 was really easy. It didn't get challenging till mid Nightmare.

Indeed, and we don't even know how many acts there will be in D3. Other than that, one should remember that there are not only the three difficulties from D2, normal/nightmare/hell, but here they also have inferno afterwards which is supposedly really cruel. I read in a blizz interview that in the later difficulties, when you team up with four people total in a game, if a single person gets caught alone, he can basically expect to die in seconds. I think blizzard mean it when they say that inferno is grueling.
-
Feels like it could be a short game unless the other 4 acts get substantially meatier. Should be fun, but I have the suspicion that somehow it will not maybe be the life consuming beast that D2 was for many.

Uh, do you know what these four other acts are?
-
Act 2, act 3, act 4 and act 5
-
Act 2, act 3, act 4 and act 5
Content-wise :)
Edit: Had a look around and it seems D3 has four acts, not five. The beta is apparently only the first third of act 1, not all of act 1 as I first thought. No one seems to have a clue what act 3 and 4 contain. However, they have stated (source (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naNJJSjiWb4)) that it will be a bit shorter than the other acts, though not as short as in D2.

lol, had no commitment this weekend then :D
who did you like the most?
-
I completed with wizard, demon hunter and witch doctor so far.
I preferred wizard although demon hunter seem like it could be interested when you get some more skills unlocked.
Witch doctor is a bit weird, very much like the old necromancer.
-
Love your names, Dev..
I'll probably get this game, beta was fun! Completed as Wizard, monk and Brutebarian. All really fun.
-
I liked them all in different ways actually.
But to be true to my nature, I'm gonna go with a melee class, barbarian most likely.
-
like what i've seen so far :)
completed monk, tried out a couple other classes (demon hunter, barbarian) but got the most fun out of monk ^^
-
Also maybe a bit simplistic? Though there seemed like some cool combos we could do, if we tried -- frost nova, snare, ranged DPS, etc.
Yeah, thou the beta was also prob way too easy, even more when I played it in coop. I didn't see a way to raise the difficulty by hand.
Witch doctor is a bit weird, very much like the old necromancer.
I also thought witch doctor had a strange mix of skills, like swapping demon dogs for fear. And how much dmg those spiders did, where did they hide the detailed spell descriptions a la "does X points of dmg"?
-
detailed descriptions in tooltips when you either press ctrl or have the checkbox in options for detailed stuff checked.
* with witch doctor at first I thought similar with dogs vs fear, but then read that spell slot's title, defensive, which makes more sense.
-
Ah nice, yeah I didn't spend much time in the options, silly me. That'd have helped.
Regarding the dogs, I didn't saw them as very "defensive", but then again, due to the low difficulty of the beta, it may not have shown.
Anyway, I'll prob get the game for at least a playthru, and amazon.co.uk has it for 34 Euro which is quite nifty.
-
I had the pleasure of trying out all classes but the Demon Hunter at Sint's place yesterday. The Witch Doctor feels like a really odd class, but with a ton of funny spells (Nach should totally play a spider-based WD :P) and does a ton of damage when he gets the AoE drain spell. Wizard was cool enough with interesting animations, though I didn't think it was that special.
As for the melee classes, the Monk has a mixture of cool and really odd spells. Wave of Light in particular stands out (giant f-ing tower bell from the sky? what the shit?). Barbarian was super brutal and SMASH SMASH SMASH all through out, which was exactly what I was hoping for. I am now 100% sure that I will be playing one.
A thing I noticed which isn't related to the classes was the really good sounds that are in this game. Whenever you smash something, release a chandelier to drop on some zombies, collapse a wall, teleport or whatever, the sounds are just so well made and help hugely in creating a fantastic playing atmosphere. The game itself is also really pretty and it feels really epic once you get a good 30 mobs gathered and three people let all of their AoE rip through it all.
-
Yeh Starbrow, i was absolutly loving the baba!!!
(knew i would)
Tryed the Wizard, seemed really weak by comparison, I think they need to mix up his early ability's to make them more interesting. No need for diamond skin so early on in the game ;/
Did anyone get very far with blacksmithing? does it have a cap on beta?
-
blacksmithing on beta seemed a bit useless, since after doing the first upgrade, the weapons I could make required lvl 15-16.
-
yeh true, im up for seeing it more maxed out .. got it to level 3, would be cool to see what weapons are at lvl 10 or what ever
-
Max blacksmithing you can reach on beta is up to the last step before hitting lvl 5. Pretty pointless since you can make stuff for lvl 27+ at that point.
Blacksmithing is only useful for the shoulders on beta.
-
I talked to Sint about the blacksmithing as well, and it seems that you will be levelling it up as you go along, and won't get it to level 4 (max in beta) when you are level 13, but a lot later as it does require a lot of gold. I assume it will follow your level progress more smoothly in the full game.
Also, I found this really nice post about customization in D3: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/3811455085?page=1

As you said further up: Amazon here we come!

Amazon has by now raised the price to 32 pound, which (if you need shipping to abroad) is ~ the US bnet price.
-
I just got the year-long WoW sub, which came with a free D3 key -- I would've thought more people would do that :P
-
...my WoW is prepaid til next year, I doubt I'll still be playing it in 2014...
-
So, like Devlin I went for the betamax achievment. I did all the achis, levelled up all the classes to 13, then it got to 11pm and all i needed to do was resurect 4 of the 5 classes to complete everything AND THE FUCKING BETA WENT DOWN. SO ANGRY!
First impressions were good tho imo. Obviously they'd disabled a hell of a lot, blues were the only colour of items that could drop other than the 2 yellows you would always get when you killed leoric for the first time with any character. So items were very limited. You could only get rings and shoulders by crafting/buying.
The jeweller wasnt in, the totems(?) (new version of charms) weren't in at all, neither was the container for them, hopefully they aren't gone completely. Gems werent in the game but you could search for them on the auction house, so i don't think they're gone completely. Slotted items were disabled as well. Also, I'm very confused as to what gems are going to do in slotted items cos with most chars you didnt seem to hit with ur weapons, only ur abilities. I had a poison bow on my DH but only procced it when i was firing raw arrows (when i'd run out of rage or whatever it was called). I'm not entirely sure this was the case tho.
I noticed that resistances (which I imagine are still going to be important in the later difficulties) are now just reduced to how much Int you have, 1 int was 0.1 resistance, to ALL schools of magic. I wonder if we'll see all classes stacking int, they seemed to want to avoid this from what we've been told. Maybe items will have more than just the 1 or 2 stats on them, like in d2.
I thought the skill system was a bit funny, you get every skill and every rune by leveling up so the only choice you'll be making about skills is with your gear. Ie. what skill set u want to use most and gearing around it, this does seem much broader than in d2 tho obviously - 1 maybe 2 main skills per char. I'd say set items will cater to a wide range of abilities etc.
By the end I had spent a shit load of money on crafting but still had 41k gold left. Getting the dude to level 4 cost ~100k and he didnt get xp from crafting stuff, only by paying for skill levels. They'd also removed the recipe scrolls that we'd seen in earlier iterations of the beta, not sure if they're gone completely.
Witch doctor is both hilarious and OP. The steal int spell + bats was by FAR the most damaging thing in the beta. Also frogs, awesome.
Baba was far more fun than I thought it was going to be. Especially loved the pudge hook. Rend + frenzy was op as hell as well.
Sorc was cool, most of her dps came from the lightning corpse explosion skill, which was annoying in parties cos u often wouldnt get the finishing blow, still massive damage tho. Her AOE was by far the most potent (frost nova + force blast + the galaxy looking spell). I did the 20 hits with one blow achi with that in the jar of souls quest. Was pretty funny.
Monk - I'll be playing this class first. Massively mobile with various teleport abilities, had a lot of fun pinging around with this. Aoe was pretty good too. Giant bell though.. wtf was that all about..
Demon hunter was the class I enjoyed least. Rapid fire and piercing shot were more viable than the other skills in the beta, but were really boring.. I got bola shot at lvl 13 but didnt use it cos the beta ended 5 minutes later >.< She looks the most awesome tho imo, I had 2 yellow 1 handed cross bows by the end, very badass.
I'm curious as to how hard inferno will be, judging by the level gain of the beta I think we'll be hitting level cap while playing through hell, maybe even nightmare. Once you got to a certain level of gear d2 became a breeze, even in hell. It did take quite a while to get there though. The pandemonium levels were the only truly hard part of that game that actually required crazy gear so hopefully inferno will be on par with them.
And there are achievements in the game. Oh god...
23 days to go!!

...my WoW is prepaid til next year, I doubt I'll still be playing it in 2014...
I think you can still do it Goza, it just take your credit card number.
You basically sign a contract that you will subscribe from "this" day untill next year, doesent matter if you already payed for 1 year in advance.
-
Uh... I assumed I'd commit to another 12 months added to my (whenever-ending) WoW-plan. But
"I have an active subscription already. What happens to the time I already paid for?
Any qualifying subscription time remaining on the account at the time of accepting the Annual Pass offer may be applied toward the 12 month subscription commitment. For example, if you had started a 6 month subscription two months prior to accepting the Annual Pass offer, four months of your remaining subscription time would be applied toward your 12 month subscription commitment."
...so, I'd actually get it for free then....? Wtf, gotta try later.
-
That is correct her Goza, emagine if you did it 6 months ago :)
-
why oh why didnt you do it earlier :P
You only need to continue subscribing for a year from when you sign on.
-
Lol... me so stupid. Thanks for the hint Pluug!
Think my WoW-sub runs till July 2013, so its still enough time.
-
I was busy this weekend, and only managed to play a bit of Monk, getting to level 9
I would be interested in hearing from you guys, on what each class brings, to a party. I.E. Monk brings some party healing and auras, etc.
-
Well there are no defined roles, just like in d2.
So you wont have designated tanks or healers and so on. Obviously sorcs will be squishier than barbs, but the focus is definitely on each class being as good at dealing damage as any other.
The heal from the monk is a bit poo, it does less than a potion and it has a mega long cool down, it's more of a hardcore mode save i think. Monks are in your face dpsers but lack the protection of barbs.
Each class seems to have different control abilities tho. DH has an aoe snare, barb has an aoe stun, sorc has aoe freeze, witch doctor has aoe slow, monk has aoe blind.
Like in d2 most classes will prolly have a helpful aura. I think barbs have shouts as well.
-
really hard to compare a heal in beta compared to a pot since skills unlike in D2 actually scale with weapon damage and primary stat
-
aye good point, you know with awesome gear and the supposed difficulty of inferno it could prove quite useful methinks.
Ghost said it earlier, but blizz said that if ur in a team of 4 in inferno and one person gets split from the group, they can expect to be dead within a few seconds O.o
-

I hope not. I hope they made inferno a bit more like wow, in the sense that you would need class synergies to have a chance.
-
Barbarian has the possibility to provide some buffing through shouts, though the party buffing has been reduced drastically through the beta. As such, the barbarian can now buff party armor by 20% (40% or 20% + 50% resistances from runes)and reduce mob damage by 20% through shouts. Furthermore, there is a shout that only benefits the barbarian himself (+15% damage, 30% runed).
I plan to build a survival/buffing barb centred on shouts, AoE stuns and as much lifesteal and tanking as can be gotten from the remaining skills/passives and see how it does for team playing. Hopefully I'll be able to find a build that makes him more or less unkillable, while still dishing out a fair amount of damage :P
-
I love the fact that you dont have to build your character from the start, but that you are able to decide your build based on who you are playing with :)
-
I love the fact that you dont have to build your character from the start, but that you are able to decide your build based on who you are playing with :)
Indeed, it is a massive plus. Also the fact that you can just change a rune/skill depending on what the coming boss is like. For King Leoric, who's a single dude most of the time, you could just switch Frenzy for Bash, throw on the stun rune, and boom, he's stunned for half the fight. Fighting another boss that has tons of small mobs? Switch to cleave with corpse explosion and rend with damage rune and do huge AoE damage! The list is endless and you can just play around with it as you go and as the situation warrants.
Edit: I do wonder if we will get a hot-swap button for skills/runes though. I think I might end up with three/four "go to" builds tailored for specific situations that I'd like to be able to switch between relatively quickly.
-
I hope not. I hope they made inferno a bit more like wow, in the sense that you would need class synergies to have a chance.
Well the game is also designed for single player as well remember, plus you can only ever have 4 of the 5 classes in any game.
Btw star, one stupid thing that we didnt realise. There are 6 skill slots available to you on the UI, 2 were locked.
In actuality, if we had turned on 'elective mode' in the gameplay options we could have used whatever skills we wanted in any of the 6 slots. So we could have had frenzy+rend AND cleave+corpse explosion. zomg!
I wonder if we could have used the unruned and the runed zombie dogs and had 6...
-
Did you guys try the skill calculator?
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/wizard#aiXROm!YXV!ZYcbZa
Sooo many choices..
-
Consider this build for a "healing monk "
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#WcXdfQ!fcb!ZcZccb
You can almost get a healing effect or damage reduction effect with every skill and if not you can atleast get a stun.
-
I wonder if we could have used the unruned and the runed zombie dogs and had 6...
You can only have 1 instance of the skill bound. And yeah you can use more than 1 skill per category (primary/secondary/defensive..).

Here (http://www.diablofans.com/blizz-tracker/topic/219779-is-anyone-happy-about-runes-on-rails/) Bashiok states that he thinks it will take the player base several weeks after launch to even beat Act 2 of Inferno. I really doubt it will be anything but severely punishing to play this game mode.

Wow, didn't realise this. I agree that it would have been nice to know this for the first ten levels of playing, but I think they all auto-unlock when you get one of each "type" of skills (level 19). I will not be using one of each type in my build I think, so enabling elective mode is something that will happen early for me I think.
For Graxlos, I don't see why you'd take the extra 100 spirit passive, since you'll be spending your spirit continuously and the only benefit from 200 spirit is that you can channel for longer, but even with that, you need to spend longer to fully generate that much spirit. For prolonged combat it doesn't help you in any way? Damage reduction, self-healing, cooldown reduction or damage boosts from spirit generators might be better?

Will there be guild tags and stuff in Diablo 3 ?
Or will we have to create characters like IE-Abyiss .. like in D2?
-
I seem to remember them mentioning something about having guilds in the game..
It'd make sense to, my guess is t
here will be.
-
No guilds.
-
Wow, no guilds??
I guess they're just relying on the friends list then. S'not like there are raids or anything anyway. Still tho, guilds would be nice.
-
So i guess we should agree on a guild tag for names ? :)
-
and a guild banner?
Is there any point to using a guild tag? we all kno who we are anyway right?
-
Guild tags reppin' IE dawg
-
Well there are some of the newer guys who I don't exactly know that well, so going for an IE prefix or something would be good as far as I'm concerned.
-
People are free to choose not to represent IE :)
I guess i will be [IE]Graxlos or should it be Graxlos[IE]?
-
I vote for [IE]Name, tag before name is just more hip.
-
Graxlos[IE] looks better.
-
doubt your beable to use []
might just be IE-
-
oh yeah the names in beta didnt allow special characters -.-
We will have to see.
-
Where exactly are we representing? Is there any "open/gathering area" where one is able to see & meet all the other players on the server? Are there even specific servers?
-
Well there are regions and then I think when you join a game it hosts it on a server in that region.
In the beta at least, for public games, there was a lobby screen where you could browse through the various games that people had made public and join them like that. I think there's a chat function, much like in warcraft 3, dota 2, diablo 2 etc. where you'd be in rooms like Europe-3 or England-7 etc.
-
It will be similar to D2. You'll have regions (US, EU etc) and as long as you are in the same region you can group through your friends list.
From what I remember in D2 clans then clan name goes before the character name. similar to Starcraft. So it would be IE_Yoica
EDIT: Bah just tried it in Beta, unlike D2 you can't use _ :(
-
you can use - though IE-Abyiss
-
Would you not go IE-Abyss instead and actually spell your name correctly? :p
-
Then we wouldn't recognize the dyslectic bastard :)
-
I suggest guyIE, cus otherwise I would have to read IE every time before I get to read a name, which would be kind of annoying. :D
-
Well i had to be called Abyiss - as Wow would not let me call my character Abyss, so im just stuck with it now :P
-
Not if your the first to grab Abyss!
-
dunno..just looks weird with out the "i" now :D
-
you can use - though IE-Abyiss
I haven't found any non-letter symbol or space you can use. If it remains the same you'd have to be IEAbyiss.
Initially I thought we should put IE 1st, but now that I've found out there in no way to seperate clan/char name :( I think YoicaIE is better than IEYoica
-
I'd rather go without if u couldn't separate them tbh
-
Im just gona stick to a name with no tags , since i will play with u guys , ivan , the africans , alex and slashcry guys xDDD

hmmm .. changed to 09:01 CEST ....does that mean no evening D3 fest ;( and have to wait to the morning :(
-
not July but Diablo morning :D lol
-
ah its back to 11.01pm Uk time :)
-
Yeah it's midnight CET
-
20 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
i feel like this !!!
-
I will play D3. We will see for how long!
-
DAER GOD
Someone kill me and revive me in 2 weeks, I can't take it anymore!
-
Alo Devlin where are you picko?
-
DAER GOD
Someone kill me and revive me in 2 weeks, I can't take it anymore!
Quit my education and took 2 weeks of from work for this! AWW YEAH
-
You've got 2 weeks?! I'm taking 2 days!
I hate you.
-
i've got loads on at the moment, can only really get away with the tuesday off XD..plus every lunch time .... gunna be so unproductive ...
-
I'm wondering if skipping wednesday might be more worth it for me, since day one might see battle.net struggling significantly more than when they've had 24 hours or more to stabilise the whole thing... (And also give the internet-cafe where I'll be playing more time to actually install the game)
-
You asked them already if they're going to on the day?
-
Nope, but might throw them an email about it... Also need to order the game from amazon and have it arrive so I can put it on my account.
-
I'll laugh if it comes out and they refuse to install it.
-
I'll laugh if it comes out and they refuse to install it.
And I will cry much :'(

ATI Drivers Reminder
If you're using ATI's Catalyst 12.4 release, you need to revert to an earlier version. 12.4 isn't going to be supported for use in Diablo III. (source (http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/4835923564#2))

Everyone knows that internet is more expensive than cardboard, duh

It's quite simple and very common. Basically boxed copy retailers demand that a company can only sell their own digital download for retail price on their site otherwise the retailers won't sell the boxed version of the game. So Blizzard is forced to sell at their own advised retail price.

OhHHHhHH gunna make loot runs much more fun :D

my friend will send d3 as gift from istanbul city ^^ so i am going to play it too. Cya at there

Given that isn't the case with every other vidya under the sun that is sold digitally as well, I'm going to go instead with they charge that much online because:
They know people will pay for that convenience.

I envy those kids whose first gaming experience will be Diablo3. I wish it was me. :D /jealous

Wrath is so horrible ;/
I may be an animation snob... but it looks like it was made in the 90s , there are kids cartoons with better animation and more interesting styles
This looks more like a student or fan made piece then an official release.
-
Wrath is mean to be for this: as a tribute ahead of the build up to May 15th. It is the final reward by Blizzard to the community members who joined the effort made on the official battle.net Diablo site the past 2 weeks.

yeh, i just expected better from Blizzard and Peter Chung.

Very eager to start playing d3!! Gonna go Monk first.
Monstar and I were expecting our physical copies to come today but sadly they have not. I was wondering if anyone has one of those trial card thingies, that I could use until my copy comes tomorrow. If you could PM me that would be awesoommmmmeee!

Your region is probably set to US, go set it to Europe (I had the same)

worked fine last night for us. from about 1am. You just had to spam copy paste you password and try. it only took a few attempts even after dcing once.
remember NOT to copy the password from the password window in game, since it just copies stars.

Anyone playing that is gonna stream?
-

True, needs to make sure the region is set correctly from the Options bar at the login screen.

Got booted out of my game, then it wouldnt let me reconnect, then booted me out to the login screen, now can't log in, fu :(

after 1h30min of spamming the login, I have given up

The game was below my expectations. In both ways, the gameplay and support!
-
Loving the gameplay, shame about the server issues but they've been minimal for me at least, managed to play loads.
-
In what ways do you dislike the gameplay?????
-
Only thing surprising me so far is that D3 seems more and more like a Diablo reboot.
I mean reusing both the skeleton king, the butcher and garbad as bosses seem slightly lazy :)
-
They are just keeping it original grax, if you think about starcraftbw and starcraft2, starcraft2 would also seem as a reboot of starcraftbw, they kept the general features, kept some original content, added some new features, that's what they do..
-
Where have we seen that before, using old content again... hmm
-
Where have we seen that before, using old content again... hmm
can't say, maybe that's why I like blizzard, despite the fact they slack like hell, they are traditional
-
Well one thing is being traditional. But I dont recall killing the same guys in sc2 that I already killed in sc.
Garbad the weak is ok since its his ghost in this game and we killed his physical form in diablo. But using the skeleton king and the butcher in act one seems a bit strange. Perhaps its like a cameo for people who played diablo 20 years ago :P
-
.... Perhaps its like a cameo for people who played diablo 20 years ago :P
yup, I also think so :)
-
Well, the butcher was in Diablo 1 and 2.
I dont remmeber the Skeliton king being in any other diablo games.
Im lvl 37 in Nightmare now, and having a blast!
Special mobs kick ya assssssssssss!!!!
-

He is in Diablo 1
-
I'd more call it a cameo than reusing old bosses. Thought it was fun to see another butcher, and don't remember fighting the skeleton king before. Shit's been 12 / 14 years ago. But I only finished act1 yet.
Best thing about the game is the sound. That really got a punch.
-
the cinimatics are gorgeous !!!
and that first time you go to act 2.. and look at the city below the ledge in the town.... the graphics are really stunning at times.
-
skeleton king is one of thefirst bosses in D1
http://diablo.wikia.com/wiki/Skeleton_King_(monster)
-
I dont remmeber the Skeliton king being in any other diablo games.
He was in diablo1, "the wound of life has entered my tomb" he said
In this part we are the wound of warmth lol.
-
To be honest....nothing ...NOTHING has been copied in term of mechanics .. art... voice over...looot or what ever from these bosses...
So if anything it a nostalgic nod to thier fans... like the loot droping sound being the same...or the barbs voice being the same.
-
I got a pair of Frostburns last night, I went all nostalgic
-
Hearing "stay awhile and listen" as one of the first sounds when installing D3 made made my day. Nostalgia FTW!! :)
And no i don't mis to have to dail in with my modem to be able to play Diablo :P
-
well d1 and d2 you could play without a modem too :)
-
THE TEXT FONT IS THE SAME WEEEEE
-
True, but the net was needed to get your buddy's corpse when the idiot died and wasn't able to retrieve his corpes at 3 AM and decided to wake u up to ask to get his corpse :P
Ahh the memories ;D
-
In what ways do you dislike the gameplay?????
sorry for the late response AByiss. It's not like me believing there is a flaw in the game. Everything looks/works fine but it has been 12 years and i was expecting a bit more then fine.
However that was my 1st day impression and I must admit the more i play, it becomes better.
-
Biggest flaw imo is the total lack of proper chat/community/clan/guild functionality.
Let us make a channel where we can discuss grouping up etc. This shit with only being able to pm your friends or having to be in the same game to chat is stupid.
-
True Grax, if they're going to make it all online and have real-id there showing all of their bnet friends then they might as well add a decent method of communication.
-
Diablo is making my eyes and finger ache >.<
-
So, Im on Inferno with my Demon Hunter now, anyone up for some fun times sometime?
-
i'll be up with you soon Sky , few lvls to go .. might be worth farming act 4 hell.
Now you have the nephlam buff.
-
Im almost there too, lvl 30 is so close. DAMN FARMERS!
-
you could allways play with me and dell grax... that is if delling ever stops bieng a casual
-
i'll be up with you soon Sky , few lvls to go .. might be worth farming act 4 hell.

Act 4 hell drops shit compared to act 1 inferno :P It's really easy to farm as DH, kite kite kite kite kite kite, skip combos that are hard
-
you could allways play with me and dell grax... that is if delling ever stops bieng a casual
sure grish I intend to sttart act 4 at around 7 tonight if you guys arent far ahead by then
-
Me and Grish are about 70% through Act 2, on Nightmare.
And yeah, I agree, in-game comms/tools SUCK. Like, the only way to find out if someone has a toon around your level is to ask them... and for that they have to be online...
I guess we'll all soon be 60 and it won't matter quite so much -- we can all just hang on TS, and then split up into groups.

Played for 18hours straight launch night/day ...
You Mad Rage bro?

poor Francis, I hope he's just acting.

Ah Francis, you get me every single time ;D
-
-
anyone playing hardcore mode? i am level 18 at the moment in act2. its my first time playing the game so I am planning to take my time on normal. however in nightmare i'll probably want to start teaming up, if I get there on first attempt :)
playing witch doctor, Treachery#2292
-
I think you really need to play through normal a few times before attempting hardcore. You really need to know what you are walking in to.
-
With current state of servers I doubt there will be a lot of serious hardcore attempts.
-
Man, I wouldn't even dream of hardcore right now. After normal... Your be looking at dieing... Alot... Lazer-freeze-invincible mobs ..... Good one.
-
I met one elite that was shielded 9s/10s and only took dmg from one spell once in 10s and he had vampiric aswell, took me 20 mins to kill. Normaly the shielded fucks drop the shield for at least 5s but this one wasn't.
Can't immagine elites with 4 abilities in inferno, like jailer arcane frost mortar would be fun
-
Its my first time through on Normal, and I swear, I have seen 4 separate named yellow elites called "Grax".
Grax, father of the spawn of hell.
-
ive been lucky with the servers but i havent played alot. but the lag i hear about can of course be a big problem. i hope they fix it soon.
i just dont like softcore. on my way to level 10 (to activate hardcore) i actually died twice. because i didnt care. now i use a different playstyle and its alot more exciting. i only played diablo 2 on hardcore as well, its the way i want to play the game.
but i am not fooling myself. the question is not if i will die, its when.
-
I lost 1 treasure imp because of lag :(
-
I'd be very impressed if you got to 30.
There is no quick quit like in diablo 2.
-
I haven't had lag deaths so far and only had lag problems yesterday after the servers came back online.
-
I have had a few lag related deaths. Feel like a complete noob every time it happened. Turns out my ISP is dog balls shit after 12pm.
-
how far are ppl? I'm at the end of act 1, inferno. Maybe some ppl I could team up with? :)
-
I'm act 3 hell, lvl 57atm
-
act 2 inferno on my main (wiz), just got a baba through normal as well.
-

They are oh so much fun :(

Just starting Inferno.

Round 2, Act 2
-
If sum of you are having issues with getting gear for act 2 , this is for you! This is in my humble opinion the best farming plan for getting into the next act without ripping out your hair in frustration.
You start by selecting the quest The Cursed Hold. Upon entering the game you go to Cemetary of the Forsaken. There are 3 crypts there , each with low lvl elites(Or the possibility of them) and a chance on an elite mob outside. This equated to a quick 2-4 stacks of Nephilem buff. As soon as you kill an elite pack TP and go to next crypt. Do not explore the rest of the crypt.
After finishing the Cemetary then TP to Halls of Agony level 2. Do not explore all , kill shit in your way ofc but if you find the way down RIGHT infront of you then you take it. When you get out there is a chance of finding a quest giver , if he is there then take the quest. It will tell you to kill a quy at teh end of the walkway. If you are ranged you can take advantage to get another stack(Not sure meelee can do this) When you engage in meelee he is a scripted event BUT if you shoot him from a distance he charges you instead of running away , making his elite buddies at the back become considered as a seperate pack to the event. They wont drop you loot , but they will give you a stack if you havent got 5 yet.
Then come the jails. The Jails have between 1-3 Special packs in them and the Jailer of King Leoric. He is a scripted event boss that will normally drop 3-5 Yellows. Very good. Now head down into the Level 3 and make your way to the butcher. As with the Halls of Agony do not clear all , just find the way down and take it(clear shit in your way ofc). Finish on butcher 3-5 Yellows. GG!!!
In The halls of agony and lvl 3 try to head north or in a northern direction , the way out of HoA and Level 3 are all in a northern direction. They cannot spawn in a southern direction. This part might confuse sum of you but i cba to draw a sketch of how it looks!
Gl hf grinding gears.
Edit: Forgot to mention. In the Cemetary of the Forsaken ,one of the tombs have a chance to spawn "Development Hell" , a tomb filled with the Diablo 3 Dovelopers and Jay Wilson as a scripted Boss mob. If you want you can clear it to him for the funs but it is a waste of time imo since it is only Jay Wilson in there and he doesn't give a nephalim buff.
-
Right, so I finally got my casual ass through normal with my barbarian! As for the difficulty of it all, that isn't terribly relevant since normal isn't supposed to be super challenging. While I died only once (double champion pack in act III, freeze/vortex) and one-shotted all the bosses, making it feel a bit trivial at times, the experience looks to be quite different when you haven't played a ton of D2 + end-game WoW since my girlfriend dies a LOT more often :P Being used to not standing in the fire and guessing that black/green/blinking/glowing stuff on the ground is going to mean bad news probably helps immensely.
As for the storyline:
[spoiler]I recall others talking a bit about it on TS, but the writing in this game was a bit disappointing. It was cool to have Tyrael be part of the story in such a huge way, but act III and IV had some pretty unsurprising plots.
I'm thinking of the constant "Oh you raised your catapults! That will make no difference to my invasion of your keep!" (the attacks are held at bay) - "You destroying our siege engines will not slow us down!" (keep is now no longer under siege) "Destroying the Sin Hearts won't make a difference!" (suddenly we can get to Azmodan and kill him) and so on. Repeat all of the above in act IV, only faster and with Hell Rifts instead of siege engines. The last act also felt waaaaay short and felt like a place they could have done a LOT more with. I mean, it's the high heavens for gods sake (no pun intended). Fighting Imperius instead of him just getting owned by the Crystal Arch could have been really cool.
Act II had a bit more cool twists and turns along the way, although I guess most people would have guessed that the child emperor was Belial himself.
In general I liked acts I/II a lot more than III/IV.[/spoiler]
In general, I loved the story-tomes that dropped throughout the game that told you more about the lore behind various things while you could keep smashing demons. The monster lore is also a cool addition.
About mobs and bosses:
[spoiler]Something that I'm surprised that no one is talking more about is how this game is basically a complete reuse of D2. Goat-men, Fallen, Quill Beasts, Diablos abilities, killing the siege engines outside Bastion Keep, the Demonesses that shoot red shit, faffing about in the sewers of the desert city etc. I can't decide whether I think it was a good thing or not, but it did make me smile in recognition several times, so I guess that was good :D[/spoiler]
From trawling the AH a bit for upgrades, it seems that the crafting is utterly trivial at lower levels since everything is super cheap on the AH, and guarantees you upgrades rather than have you roll shit. Does this change when you get to 60? Right now, it feels as if I might as well save the gold I could pump into my blacksmith, and just buy new upgrades for 200g each every few levels.
-
While I died only once [...] the experience looks to be quite different when you haven't played a ton of D2 + end-game WoW
I've prob died ~5 times, and usually it was some random *splash* within a second, and I didn't even notice where it came from. Maybe lag, or a lucky mob crit (if that exists), I don't know. Anyway very random and wtf.
From trawling the AH a bit for upgrades, it seems that the crafting is utterly trivial at lower levels since everything is super cheap on the AH, and guarantees you upgrades rather than have you roll shit.
I'm quite disappointed with the item system. The game throws loot at you like there is no tomorrow. OK, so apparently the game is all about loot, but it's annoying that every 30 minutes my inventory is refilled with blues and yellows, and due to the strange random itemization where apparently blues can be better than legendaries (a legendary dropped yesterday for my WH, and it's quite "meh"), I have to manually check every item whether it's awesome or crap ~ twice an hour.
Due to the flood of loot I also see no point in using the AH system. I'm curious as how the real money AH will work out for Blizz, as I can't see a huge demand for its usage.
-
i agree with most of your points and I did mention the D2 reuse thing.
I must say as wizard I died on most bosses before I cjanged to bosskill spec.
-
if you want gold for training bs and jc, you get much more gold from ah than from loot vendoring and quests.
-

I don't know, I have a very hard time selling good items on the AH. I'm already dumping them (prices 300g for good blues up to 1000g for good rares), but I sell ~1 item per day.
-
Normal wasn't very difficult, but I'd probably say it is harder than D2 normal. Nightmare is were it starts for the more experienced players and Hell was pretty hard. Considerably harder than D2 hell.
I've been selling stuff since mid-nightmare on AH for 10-40k. Generally selling 2-3 items a day. If you aren't going to using the AH it's best to just vendor the blue+ items instead of d/eing them.
As for the re-use of mobs I think that is a good thing and it makes sense since you're still fighting in the same areas.
-
Not sure why you are moaning about re-using mobs. They were in both D1 and D2, and do fit with the context, its not like they are being lazy, they just rein-visioned the mobs for D3.
Also, just finished normal, and working my way through Nightmare. I really love the odd and dangerous combinations that elites can get, jailer/mortar, shielding/fast bloody wasp things from act 2, which occasionally throw a curveball in the mix.
Monks are the business, and the fact that the dodge so much, (and seems to me, to be able to dodge special boss attacks)makes bosses pretty easy, even for normal. The fact that I can go and stand in a patch of fire, and dodge half of the hits it does me, is pretty funny. The dodging special attacks seems a little strong, maybe broken for pvp.
-
Aye you can dodge pretty much anything as a monk, its nice indeed.
You cant dodge fire/desecrate/plague tho, if u turn on ur health numbers u'll see that fire doesnt actually tick, it drains, u just get notified by damage numbers as a tick so ur not spammed with little numbers.
Just to warn you, late game monk you have to go tank, no two ways about it. I do soggy noodle dps as a result and just tank stuff, s'not very fun :<
-
Also, who cares if its broken for pvp? :p
-

managing to hold my own a bit better now... but walling, invicible, arcane, molten chains are still kicking my ass XDDD
-
You are a Barb right Abyiss? You should have a look at what Noxiouz is doing. Holy fuck it stomps.
-
it does, but he has to wait for his 2 min cooldown b4 he can attack anything, and then if it runs out b4 they die he gets squashed.
He really does kill the shit out of stuff tho, s'impressive.
-
Since i cant get on the IRC at work, ill post what I have been working on here. Its a spreadsheet for damage but unlike the other ones i have seen you can check the difference a new weapon or piece of gear would make to your dps. The only stat I have no idea if it works how I have set it up is bonus damage % which for example Demon hunters get from having a bow equipped with the correct talent. If anyone feels like they can add something to it, ill happily give edit permissions.

Yeh i saw a barb with over 100,000 dps.. basicly just poped Wrath and earthquake to dps shit fast.
But obviesly died all the time if the mobs didnt die in time ;)
was farming inferno act4.

Si can you not use the irc link at the top of the page to join?
i couldn't in my last job, but it would let me if i used https:// rather than http:// at the start of the URL

@ Kage's post about how to farm for act2
While this does work, the best places to gather neph in my opinion are the cave in the fields of misery and the cave in the highland pathway. Both caves have 2 or 3 elite mobs in and they both end in a resplendant chest. Then ofc jailor + butcher.
-
re: glass cannon barb smash build: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/barbarian#WZRkTP!YZV!cZZcbZ
Endless fun. Highly recommended. Usually you have two minutes between every elite pack, so it works out fine. If not, they wait time is only a minute. Enjoy playing this over sword n' board any day.
Need to get my resists to 800 so I can do act 3-4 without pack skipping :(
-
Won't nerves of steel give you more armour than tough as nails? Other than that yeah, provided you have the gear much more fun to actually be able to kill things quickly instead of waiting to grow old
-
what passives and runes nox?
-
It's all there Abyiss, Nox just sucks at linking (The ! breaks the link apparently)
-
Now we just need a monk build that can do the same >.<
We dont have any kind of huge regen ability or long duration immune tho :<
-
kawe: it doesn not, due to me not having that high vitality, so 25% of my armor from items outweighs 100% of my vitality which is around the 1k mark, where as my standard armor is around 5200 which gives me 1300 and more damage with thorns.

wish you could save pre-set specs on you character to swap to.

@ Kage's post about how to farm for act2
While this does work, the best places to gather neph in my opinion are the cave in the fields of misery and the cave in the highland pathway. Both caves have 2 or 3 elite mobs in and they both end in a resplendant chest. Then ofc jailor + butcher.
The reason why this is less effective , is cause you are looking for gaurantees and speed. Going to the fields means you need to search for your Elites not to mention search for the cave. Also the elites you fight there are more dangerous and you stand to die more often(Bad for clearing fast ofc). The crypts are gauranteed and fast kills and you dont need to search for them.
-
Nice farming guide Kage, I just saw it, thanks!
-
diablo down on normal hardcore. first playthrough so it was pretty intense. boss fights are alot cooler than D2. normal was still pretty easy though as expected.
i want to start teaming up for nightmare. i am also up for creating a new char (its best to start having a back-up now..) if anyone want to play hc. i play hardcore casually :)
treasury#2292
-
Hardcore casual, I like it! Don't think I possess the nerve to play hardcore..
-
I now has D3 too, starting my little Demon Hunter, you can find me as Shiftey#2122

There is a thread for that :P
-
LOLOLOLOLOLOL!
-
Yeah saw that, makes me wonder what thorns does exaclty. He had around 5k thorn dmg so there is no way Butcher should one-shot himself.
-
it was normal... so i'd say its real :)
-
are monks rly in that bad shape as they say on forums? I have a level 60 and I am in act 3 hell its not so bad as for now and I am well aware that I need upgrades for inferno.....question is: are they in so bad shape that I should save the trouble from "to much farming" to changing character?
-
I would actually say yes, u should change chars.
In inferno we have no choice but to tank and there isnt much good gear currently available on the AH to do so. I couldnt find a single item upgrade on the AH last night and my gear isnt anything spectacular.
We're also forced into using the few tank abilities we have and nothing else.
Going glass cannon as a monk is pretty much impossible considering we dont have any kind of cooldown that allows us to burst stuff down. We have serenity, but thats 2 seconds on a 30 second cd.. Also we can't kite because melee lol.
Atm i'm not having a lot of fun with my monk. I loved the skills while levelling, had loads of fun. Dissapointed that i cant use them for end game yet.
-
yea thats my problem to, I love levelling him, steamrolled thru anything in my way :)
-
When blizzard is done nerfing wizards they will probably start buffing monks :P
-
I am levelling a Wizard and a DH on the side anyway so shouldnt be to long to get 1 up, I guess for now I cant let my monk just go, as I have had to much fun with him, and will try and see how it goes on inferno :)
-
When blizzard is done nerfing wizards
sigh
-
they had another nerf today/yesterday btw,
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/5235398345
Critical mass nerfed so that its proc chance is now 0%, the ability has been effectively removed.
-
heh, so lame.
-
Edit:Wrong topic ffs...
-
Levelling with Monstar when this occurred.
-
There is actually 1 spot better for gaining a Nep Valor stack. Inbetween the place where you get templar quest and Jondar is a garanteed rare mob. It's a really small area to cover in order to find him.
-
Don't you mean JON DAAAAAAAAAAR
-
BETRAYAL CAN NEVER BE FORGIVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
-
Gimme exuisite essenceeeeeeeeees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I'm looking for decent +run speed stuff since it seems the AH movement speed search option doesn't actually find anything...
Preferably with Int with vit or all res.
-
yoica, don't put in any number next to the movespeed dropdown, or it will never find anything
-
Mmm i dont think u can get much run speed stuff, I know it can be affixed to boots.
Not sure what other items u can get it on...
-
yoica, don't put in any number next to the movespeed dropdown, or it will never find anything
ah will try that, I always put 1 there.
Mmm i dont think u can get much run speed stuff, I know it can be affixed to boots.

Boots + 1-2 others slots.
-
some of the set / legendary stuff has it on random pieces like chest weapon etc.
-
Try these legendaries; Unity(Ring), Lacuni Prowlers(Bracers), Boj Anglers(Boots) and Tyrael's Might(Chest). The first 3 are cheap but the chest is expensive and both the boots and bracers have attack speed on them.
-
Doing some streaming act 3 farming if anyone wanna see
www.twitch.tv/devlinate
-
When ya gonna come hang out with us on TS, Devlin?
Also, I thought you'd given up hardcore gaming :P
-
-
A nice tip for people who still hasnt fully understood the AH and is still in the process of leveling.
"level requirement reduced" is a SICK stat.
If you go on ah and search for items 5-10 levels above your own level and search for the stat "level requirement reduced" you will find cheap weapons with sick dps compared to weapons your own level. I more than doubled my dps at lvl 49 for 10k gold (Bought a 330dps onehand weapon).
At lvl 50 you can get lvl 60 weapons at 5-600 dps for less than 100k.
-
Yup indeed, two-shotting complete screens of mobs at lvl 44 now. Thx for the hint!
-
There is a 1hander with 1000 dps for lvl 49 on AH if only I had several millions :P
This old gear vs skill discussion is quite relevant in D3 :P
There is a 700 dps wand for lvl 43 on AH with 450k buyout, it will really be easy leveling up new chars when you first have some gold.
-
Farming gold is very easy if you have some time to spend in a boring place! That way you can get your weapon easily :)
-
That kinda ruins the point... Spending time farming gold to buy a weapon to make you level faster and get to inferno faster.
-
Well it is indeed. but still in 2-3 hours time I've spent, had 500k golds and now am able to upgrade my wizard's offhand :)..So now I have much better dps that helps me do act 3 inferno.
-
So in the total waiting time to get through the authentication so far, i could have atleast earned myself 2 nice 1500k weapons :P
@Blizz. After a real rough day at work i needed my shot of hack and slash, but so far all you gave me is error 37 and retrieving hero list.... :'(
-
Rucious Im playing in nightmare, the cash flow is not quite the same as in inferno apparently.
-
You have a point there.
-
Ruci , get me a friekin good bracers :P
-
I'm also looking for a legendary one! gief!
-
never spend over 150k on an item while under 60.
having more money when you hit 60 is a LOT better
-
Has anyone completed inferno yet?
Should we organize some groups for it when 1.03 is out, it seems like a pretty big buff to grouping :)
-
The damage scaling within a party has been hotfixed. Damage does NOT scale anymore in groups. The only IE-er I know has killed diablo is Ghost, but I'm guessing that means at least sint and nox have as well?
-
Nox and Kage have I believe.
-

Game is too hard.

P3 looks intense :)
How can you get 0 yellows from diablo inferno ...

You dont get rare items from bosses unless you got Nephalem(or what ever its called) stack(i think).
-
You can get rares regardless of neph stacks, its just... well, rarer :D
-
-
Killed Diablo inferno today and (s)he was suprising easy, as a wizard, compared to Belial/Azmo and I'm not even going to mention the rare packs in act 4 /shudder. It just takes soooooo long to kill that it won't be worth farming.
-
Anyone up for some group play tonight?
-
memememememe
-
I recommend you guys doing Cow Level, its insanely difficult (act 3-4 mobs), and the drop rates are very good.
-
Well we get completely owned in act 3 :/ depresses me my only oprion is gold farm :(
-
I would like join the next one, once i get my Monk to 60.
-
Completed act 1 inferno with my barbarian earlier this night with a little speed-up from Yoica. It was very encouraging to witness him die to several champion packs that I had no issues with, since it means teamwork makes sense! (Sorry Yoica :P)
-
:(
;) Annoying Act1 mob don't hit me for more than 15% of my HP so my teleport doesn't reset when I get cornered :-\
I recommend you guys doing Cow Level, its insanely difficult (act 3-4 mobs), and the drop rates are very good.
I'd say Pony level is equal to act 3 mobs and definitely easier than act 4.
-
I solo-ed up to the Skeleton King on Inferno, but random elites are just too annoying. Graveyard zerging them is not really fun. I have ~ 25k DPS on my WD, dunno about health, but it's basically dont-get-hit-at-all-or-die.
Then I did a PUG with some monk who basically soloed our 4-man group (think one of us was a bot due to silly movement and doing nothing) into act2 inferno. Like wtf, he didn't take damage at all. Doesn't really make me wanna play this game any longer, especially as I only get useless shitty crap drop after crap drop. Its mindless farming with too much rng.
-
I know that feel bro.
Gold farm untill you can buy upgrades :P
-
Thats incredible boring thou. There's also no "reward" in it. Farm gold so I can buy gear that allows me to farm gold for the next act's gear?
Oh, fun.
-
If you can do act 2 (as ranged at least) you'll most like be able to do act 3 and 4 within a reasonable time. The jump from act 1 to act 2 is by far the biggest one in game.
-
:(

I agree with those Act 1 mobs, annoying idd. :)
About pony level tho, its rather mixed instead of saying its just Act 3, thats because the item drops are both mixture of act 3 and 4 :)
-
Made it to inferno on Hardcore with my first char. When is the nerf coming :S
-
...almost made it, gotta kill diablo!
couldnt find any edit button
-
now i've made it :)
-
Just died in Act II inferno. I was kiting nasty elites and they enraged! New mechanic to me, really. I got a debuff that drained my life quite fast.
You learn something every day. And yes I think this mechanic is pretty stupid :)
Oh well, got quite far for first character I think!

New patch tomorrow - Level cap raised to 160 ! :P
http://www.diablofans.com/news/1321-official-104-patch-notes-and-patch-104-confirmed-for-tomorrow/
Looks like they've tried to address lots of issues :)
-
Yeah they have removed annoying stuff like invulnerable minions and the paragon system looks like a nice way to give people a small feeling of progression while mindlessly farming gear.
-
Yeh and the skill buff are going to make my barb feel like a barb again! Lol at seeing a lvl 160 in pvp though :s
New legendarys look awesome too.
-
Cool, maybe my Witch Doctor will be playable in Inferno now.
Then again, why play more D3...
-
Yeah who cares about D3 when we get MOP prepatch next week :P
-
Probably wont end up playing the Mop patch till the week before release.. i still really like diablo :P
Just need more hours in the day .. stupid work :P
-
I am really happy about this paragon system. Also , having buffed sum legendarys to 63 ilvl is fantastic. Yes , one still needs to get lucky to have one drop but the fact that they are there now is what makes me happy. This patch restores a bit of my lost faith in blizzard.
-
Diablo 2 was far from perfect when it launched - glad they are even addressing the issues - they already have our money - there is no financial gain for them - its all just fan service and keeping up there reputation in tact.
Thx blizz :)
-
How you mean no financial gain with this, if you have low reputation noone will buy your game.
Money makes the world go round!
-
Dont underestimate the income from the expansion packs. they will sell a lot better if people are satisfied with the first game.
-
Exactly, maybe they didnt profit from this patch but on the long run...
-
I also think a ton of people here bought D3 due to the very good reputation of Blizzard and the Diablo series as a whole. Image is definitely very very important for them.
Reading through the patch notes does look pretty good, and it really sounds like this will make a big difference to the feeling of progression in gameplay in the endgame.
-
Yeh nothing is worse then griding for gear for hours .. only to end up with nothing for your invested time - at least this way you can count of gaining a level.
-
Now you can mindlessly grind all 100 of the paragon levels!!! YES! :'(
But the patch looks nice.
Hopefull this makes it slightly easier for me to finally kill diablo on inferno dif so i can uninstall D3 and install Gw2 :P
-
time to try and clear act 3 with my new wd!
-
meh gw2 so close dont think i will try it personally
-
and just as I feel strong enough to go for an A3 clear and try to finish the game I die to a game crash :)
oh well, i'll give it one more shot (and probably more)
-
Game over on 4th Witch Doctor :)
-
How many chars did you go through? Was it just the 4 WD's??
-
yes i died three times, one was a game crash.
-
according to
http://www.diabloprogress.com/hero/treachery-2292/TreacheryIV/19622508
i am 27th WD in europe to finish all quests in inferno on Hardcore and 205 among all classes :)
Dont know how reliable that data is though.
-
gz man, good job :P
-
So who is still playing this game!?
I'm paragon lvl 100 looking for some ppl for high monster power farming and ubers!
Inqontrol#2537
http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Inqontrol-2537/hero/241334
(playing hardcore aswell)
-
I've slowly started to play again, but only paragon lvl 3 or 4 :P. What MP lvl are you running? You need 4/5 for the ubers right?
-
Usually doing ubers MP7+
-
Arent yellow rings better than Ubers inqontrol? I was under the impression that Uber rings are limited in possible affixes as compared to the potential ammount of affixes on yellow rings.
-
Yea, I just dont have a better rare ring than my hellfire ring atm. Wanna upgrade some other items first but shit is expensive :P
-
GROW UP, BAD GAME IS BAD!
-
...
-
i have a paragon lvl 30 WD on hardcore but on a break at the moment. havent played in a few weeks and dont know if I will be back.
-
lvl 5 paragon :P
not played in like 3 months tho :P
-
Fun game, but only for first 20 days :P
-
Wut Mr. pluug said
-
So the new expansion patch came out today 2.0.1.
Changed a lot of how the game work. In particular loot.
Me and yoica had been playing for about an hour and both had 3 legendarys and set items drop.
And regular drops where muuuuuuuuch better.
Definitely worth a look !
-
Yeah i played today aswell and i definately like the rework of the loot system and the game got alot harder so props to them :D i cant farm max lvl now so time to grind again!
-
2.0.1 is a massive improvement from 1.0.8, can't wait for the expansion to hit. already preordered it. I love the clan and community features as well, it is an amazing addition on its own.
-
I also preordered the expansion, really liking the patch so far.
Is there a IE clan in D3 btw?
-
Someone hurry up and claim the name
-
Someone already got Iron edge, so we are "Iron edge eu"
-
Anyone Fancy starting a Season Ladder hardcore character Friday night??

I think the most important thing was; 10 minutes before that, i had just beaten sidesteps best time on GR55. And yes, I'm basicly ready for level 50 rifts again. just need 1 more helltooth piece. ironicly, i salvaged about 10 when trying to get 1 ancient.
