Should I enable or disable P2P w/e in the installer? Will it make it go any faster if I change it to one or the other?
 
Just lost my first HC character. It was a barb. I lost it to a pack of champions that had a vortex ability. That was one annoying ability.
 
Ugh, I don't want to complain...but this lag and these server issues are REALLY pissing me off. I seldom complain about a game, and even less often use the excuse, "I paid money for a game I should be able to play!" But this is getting to be a bit much. C'mon Bizzard...
 
I absolutely love exploring. my friend and I have called our session... it began at 12 last night :) We're ~24 and haven't gotten through Act II (however, we're a quest or two away)


we take our time all throughout the zones.. I love it. I love hunting down the dungeons... we go to the top left, top right, and then fill in the spots :)

I love the feeling of finding a random dungeon... waiting to be plundered and have it's booty stolen! :)

It makes me cringe knowing that many people run past that dungeon because there is no quest that says to go there...


I have a friend who has been messaging me begging for help because he doesn't understand where to pick up quests... (ie: WHERE ARE ALL THE QUEST GIVERS Y ISNT THIS LIKE WOW?)

blows my mind


I fucking love this game

wish i had a friend like that to play iwth
 
Is such a thing even possible? Arcane Orb with the first rune pretty much shits on everything. :p

I found the wizard to be incredibly weak in the beta, especially if I used a fast weapon. There is a particularly nasty combination of mechanics that works against the wizard, and that is arcane power mixed with cast speed that is dictated by weapon speed. If you use a really fast weapon, your casts are weak and you blow through your AP very fast. A slow weapon nets the same DPS as a fast one, but consumes your AP far slower, giving you much more sustainability and burst. The fact that AP regeneration does not depend on weapon speed makes fast weapons beyond godawful for wizards.

Will be rocking Wiz and Barb

just started, would be great to have some gaffers to play with.
 
Wanted to identify some items I had gotten in a previous run and I can't log in anymore. A bit embarassing for a game you should be able to play solo.
 
Two out of the four people in my group got kicked with same error. How does this work in hardcore? Cause we're all just racing to 10 so we can stard a hardcore game.

Now it won't let us back in because of error 75.

In reality I don't have much of aproblem with the always on drm, but if you are going to put always on drm in a game that has historically not had it, I think you had better make sure it functions flawlessly.
 
btw: what classes use shields or have shield skills?

None of the classes seem to fit the paladin/tank field.

It's the barb... but other than when I started the game I never used the shield afterward lol... I remember the Blizzard guy saying that a shield build can be useful in Inferno since you need all the defense you can get.... but I'm not there yet so this one is going to the AH! lol
 
Come ON man! This is my time to play after waiting patiently all fuckin day and the servers are down? AGAIN?

This is some bullshit. I just don't get why you need to be online even to play by yourself. Its stupid.
 
Wizard is so weak in co-op. I'm struggling to kill one enemy with him :\

I played with some friends in a 4-person session last night and was also pretty unimpressed with the damage. I WILL say that Frost Nova is damn amazing though. Skirt the edge of battle or run up on a group, Frost Nova, and then back off and let your friends finish them off while you hit with Magic Missile or Shock.

Arcane Orb does decent damage, but will quickly deplete your Arcane Energy. I swapped it out for Frost Ray. I'd quickly ping each enemy with the ray to add the snare / slow debuff, then start hitting them with MM. Things get even better when you get Force.

I guess I found it more useful to just stick to Crowd Control in the beginning. I think the damage output will come later.
 
Just got back from my mother in laws retirement party. Oh to be a good husband...sigh. Time for round two and my CE was on my doorstep when I got in. I guess round two will be with wings and dyed gear!
 
Thread is moving fast...so will ask again...

Can someone explain the two FPS sliders in the options. Not sure exactly what they do. I have a very high end rig, monitor refresh rate is at 60fps...so what should it be set at?

Thanks!
 
Torchlight 2 doesn't have this bullshit DRM does it? It'll be nice to have that to play while I am waiting for the Blizzard servers to un-shit themselves.

I've actually had a 1h sword and shield do more dps than a 2h or DW. It really just depends on the gear that you have. If you have an amazing 1h weapon, but nothing else to match it, go with a shield and you will do more dps.

disable them both. i was getting crap performance till i turned them off
 
Well, they do.

This is tr StarCraft 2 argument all over again.
Except most people arguing about always online has NOTHING to do with the requirement of an internet connection. It has everything to do with the servers required for the game not being up to snuff. Guess what? It never is.

It wasnt for AC2, it sure as hell wasnt for this.
