Yeah, the best thing you can do is tag yourself as busy.

Shit, shit, shit. RIP Act 3 DH. Fucking molten beasts!
HC?
You can however set it to "away" or "busy".
Woah that Blizzard Downloader is really annoying. I've been trying to download the game since yesterday. I started it before going to work and when I came home the downloader was closed, it just closed itself after a 2gb. Started it this morning again with the same results. I'm now sitting at 4gb. FML.
Too early to say right now but if this keeps up for me, it just might.
I don't get addicted like this to games that much anymore.

I'm pretty sure I hit a checkpoint when I entered the crypt, though not after I exited. Still, the entire forest area before the cemetery is blacked out again, as well as the crypt I cleared. I guess it's because nothing actually happened in all that time that carried the game forward. But it still ought to save my progress through the map. Now the OCD in me is going to force me to go through all that territory again.
Try equipping all of your healing/defence skills as Belial is immune to most effects. You just have to get the timing down to dodge the landmine things, they don't damage you until a few seconds after they appear. when he spams them, don't attack him and focus on healing and staying out of the way.

Shit, shit, shit. RIP Act 3 DH

Whats the point of items you have to identify? You just right click to see what they are... why are they even in the game if there is no reason to have scrolls or to go somewhere to get them identified?
Can you sell unidentified items on the AH? That may be why as well. Mystery adds value!
I crafted one of the 17 dps journeyman wands, and it came out with a ton of int on it and yet its dps number didn't change from the base 17 number. My damage stat with it was significantly higher than my 20+ dps weapons. So that doesn't seem to be the case currently.
Yeah I've noticed that as well. I don't think it updates the DPS stat on the weapon itself, but it should be updating it properly on your character screen.
Amazing advice!
You bought the game? I thought the beta turned you off from it. :O
this is correct. from what I've seen, only straight DPS (enh dmg, bonus damage, etc) is included in the DPS number. the stat bonus is not included in it. unfortunately it makes it impossible to derive actual DPS on stat bonus weapons without some quick math.
what would be nice is for blizz to update the item stat boxes where it shows the bonus damage on the side of the primary stat.. I would think they can then update the DPS accordingly.
correct. DPS on your profile is exact including bonuses. it just sucks that an item with 17.5dps and an item with 15dps and 10int becomes a math exercise.
In the Options > Social I think it is, a box to turn off Quick Join.
At least that way you can't be surprised by somebody invading your game. You may still get requests, but you'd have to confirm allowing somebody into your solo session. And turning your status to Busy can't hurt either.
I do wish they would save the map visibility state when you log off... that seems like a minor concession to user friendliness.

My Lord, you are in Hell and I'm not even out of Act I normal yet!!!!!!!
Looking forward to you telling us how Inferno is later today!!!
It's just any +Damage or Attack Speed on the weapon itself that is used to calculate the tooltip DPS. +Stats don't change Weapon Damage directly but act as a damage multiplier later on. Which makes for weird damage scenarios I guess where enough +Stats makes for a better weapon despite a lower tooltip DPS.

The stat boosts aren't going to be reflected in the weapon DPS because it can't, really--the stat boost is applied to your overall DPS. It wouldn't have anything to base the calculation on by itself.
One of the things that first confused me on weapons and equipping better ones is for my Monk with having a 2 handed staff, but then having two 1 handed weapons that had less DPS on them, but better stats otherwise. When you try to compare the 2 hander to two individual weapons, it will say it is better, because it only compares to one at a time, instead of taking into account both of what you have.
This means I have to always do manual equip/unequip and watch my characters stat screen for changes in DPS to make sure I'm making the right choice.

Str, Int and Dex stats don't actually show up on the weapon DPS number because different type of classes have different main stats. Because you are playing an Int based class, it'll increase your overall dps but that won't be the case if say you played a barb instead
It's randomized.....

I've noticed that as well. Maybe all but the Dex/Int/Str modifiers.

he had a change of heart after learning about elective mode. Still makes no sense to me that it is turned off by default...
Yeah, I guess. That doesn't change the fact that your friends can still see you online. And that means, spamming you, calling you up on skype, receiving tons of annoying sms asking to let them in your game, shit like that ruins the experience for me when I want to play completely alone.

I have 2 one handed crossbow things for demon hunter at over 20 DPS. And I'm only level 16. I think that is successful right?

Checkpoints aren't saved, those are just for when you die. The only things that are saved when you quit a game are items, experience, gold, waypoints, and objective completions.
The map is always randomly generated every time you start a game. That's pretty fundamental to Diablo. You think you heard a shitstorm when stat and skill points were removed, that would be nothing compared to static maps.
What they could do is show a summary of how the weapon you have equipped and the weapon you're considering buying impact the DPS of each of your currently bound skills. That would be nice, and clear up a lot of confusion for the classes that rarely actually swing their weapons (WD, Wiz).
Closing in Act I with my 17lvl DH.
It sure is a bummer that the achievements didn't track at all, but as I'll be playing this game on and on, I don't think it'll be such a problem.
Seems that I'm one of the slowest players on my friends list, but I just want to take the game slowly. Exploring every hill possible and quest!

Further, +Dexterity has no effect on the "Protection" change that an item provides, so keep an eye out for that if you're swapping out something with lots of dex for something with a bit of armor.
But +Int (and I assume the others) do impact the "Damage" stat that you see if you hover over an item while already having one equipped. That's giving you the difference in total DPS that you get after all bonuses.
Yeah. I had no clue about that until today. Can't wait to get home and change it to being able to teleport fist into enemies as Monk, and then unleash hundred fists as I drop a bell on their candy ass without having to waste spirit on the other teleport move.

got to say though this morning died twice from lag being soo bad... not sure how some of you would consider Hardcore right now.... but played 5 hours 10 hours total so far on my monk.... shame to say I bought a legendary.. I know. need to say away from the auction House. this game is amazing!!!!

just click Advanced details or whatever and it brings up way more info about your character. Swap between two sets of weapons and look at the differences between them as far as dmg, crit, atk speed etc...
the weapon's DPS isn't affected by how much agi is on it. You can have a dagger that's 1.0 dps with a billion agility and the weapon itself would only do 1.0 damage, but you would obviously be doing a lot more damage from the agility bonus (or whatever stat is your primary)

If they didn't bother with an invisible mode for WoW or Starcraft, I doubt we'll see one here.

I'd buy if I had the $ lol. I'm always down to 500 gold tops after I get back to Tristram since I'm leveling the blacksmith non stop.
Because dumb people wouldn't read what are the resource generating attacks, slot only resource consuming attacks and die every 5 minutes because they can't use abilities. Or at least I guess that's it because it makes no fucking sense.
The only damage bonus you get from Dual Wielding is the increased Attack Speed which is factored in the stat screen display; +Damage and such on your Off-Hand doesn't do anything to your Main Hand.
Generally speaking, a 20 DPS Two Hander is better than Dual Wielding two 17 DPS One Handers. This changes as you have more +Damage on your Armor/Rings/Amulet so it's kind of a mess :/
