Are you fucking kidding? You've struck gold if you fucking get vamp and plauged. That shit is easy.
Talk to me when you have invincible fear + arcane minions.
Or Jailer + Desecrator that insta gibs you.

Let alone any pack on Inferno that has any ranged or bullshit move.

I've only gotten to Act 2 nightmare (I've slowed down after completing normal), but I think the worst was an Illusionist/Frozen pack early in Act 1. Fucking Frost Novas everywhere. Champions past normal are definitely what's going to keep the game interesting while replaying.

Well in D2, people would just give away super good weapons because they were only interested in farming uniques or particular items.

Now, they sell them or put them into a gold sink instead.

The result for lowbies is the same. You have a choice: make the game easier by using the AH, or nerf yourself by refusing it.

This is true but the ah has also killed bartering which was one of the best things about d2.

But I think the real money ah is gonna improve the regular one. Once people start buying gold the prices are gonna skyrocket. You'll have to auction items wisely to be able to afford anything.
 
I'm not sure why people knowing it'll break their game are using the AH and then turning around and almost complaining about their decision. (Not pointed at anyone in general, just saying.)

If I were those people I'd take a loss and drop it on the ground.

I won't touch the AH unless I get really, really stuck much deeper in the game.

yeah to me it really sounds like a "win" button right now hmm
 
Beat the game a couple of hours ago with my two brothers (our team was WD, Brb, Monk) , I had a lot of fun, but I think bosses on normal are broken. They are just too easy, I was expecting fights a little longer, or at least the boss should have a chance to move.

Now, nightmare is looking really promising.

Just finished the game on nightmare. Definitely much harder than normal mode but not impossible. I expect Hell to be even more difficult.

I've found a pretty good monk build now, much better than what I was doing before where I basically had no damage and was just tanking for my buddies, as that build doesn't work well at all for solo'ing (couldn't kill anything). Now I really blow through stuff.

What do you guys think of my stats for this level?
 
Yea I used AH to see how easily I could pick up some cheap rares and I regret it. I doubt I'll see a bow to beat my current one for a bit. I'm only in Act 1 on Normal but feel like I defeated the loot drive portion until I get towards the mid 20's. We'll see. I'm glad that this seems to have a huge motivation for playing on harder difficulty. I never did on D2. If it means more interesting drops, I'm in.

I'm not impressed with DH some far. None of the skills so far seem very "fun" or different. The chain arrow is slightly cool but I don't see much of the point when I can just trap things and arrow spam them to death anyway.
 
I love the AH. The game gave me fuck all for my monk and I didn't get one wounding piece until I started nightmare.

I've sold lot of shit to people who actually need the junk that I keep finding. I consider using that money to get decent equipment a trade.

Shield + Vamp is such bullshit though.

Trading is semi required if you want to advance at all on Hell or higher. Be it via the AH or bartering on a forum or in the game.
Sure you can try to gamble on crafting or farm loot. But it's so much more efficient trading off the items you don't use and getting useable stuff in return.
 
Good morning D3 GAF ♥ !

U see, I gonna play this barb for a while probably, it's just normal and there are still better weapons out there. I just wanted to see if I can break the game with just 20k - and yeah, it's possible by a WIDE amount. I think that's a pity. I don't know yet how it'll turn out when everyone is playing on inferno. However, I think there is a good chance that the AH takes the longetivity and the fun out of the game...kinda taking the very definition of Diablo and destroying it. We'll see.
 
Seriously though the gear that you get on normal doesnt really matter anyway. It's the first 25% of the game. Its easy with or without ah gear.
 
Man i really want to try out this game, but im not so sure yet and pretty low on cash atm. Though i think i'll end up taking the plunge, Blizzard has not dissapointed me yet.

I dont know what the rules are for asking for a guest pass here, but if anybody has one left that he/she doesnt need :p
 
LOL I wake up and the first thing I notice is that they've hotfixed and nerfed the Ransacked Cellar-chest. It's no longer a big chest... damn, Blizzard is really fixing the problems they shouldn't fix. They should be fixing the issues that are real issues in this game, there are tons of those.

servers full? what the fuck

est time: 2 seconds......been minutes now

they are shutting down. planned maintenance. It seems like they do it at 5 or 6 PDT every day.

Really having fun with my sword and board lvl 19 barb now. Although, it feels a bit pigeon holed into certain skills
 
The game is so much more fun on nightmare! I'm feeling a little exposed in the armour department though, might have to hit up the AH.

I've been playing other characters besides my Demon Hunter! I rolled a Wizard to 16 and beat Act 1 with here, but I decided I'm going to delete her and reroll, as I came up with a better name for her. So that's ~4 hours down the drain. Will probably keep as a mule for the time being though.

I'll probably clear Nightmare at least by Sunday, but after that I'm not sure on progress. I've got some things to do this coming week that may prevent me from playing as much.

has anyone even played as much as you yet?

what type of latency are you guys getting? are yawl hovering in the green the whole time?
Click to expand...

Lowest I've had is tonight, when it was sitting around 300. It seems to hover around 700 randomly though, gameplay gets pretty horrible when that happens of course.

Yeah, start by implementing better character models. :/
 
Okay GAF, I want to make a meleeish wizard. The blade skill primary seems easy enough, with diamond skin as I assume your primary defensive skill. After that what have people liked? Turning Arcane Orb into the spinning shield type thing maybe makes sense. Then later on taking Energy Armor and sacrificing the AP for raw armor. Seems like it could be a ton of fun!
 
Hell is a little depressing for a solo wizard. I went through the first two difficulties spamming laser beams. Now I stutter step in circles chucking balls of light in fear of getting breathed on.

So on the Asia server, they do maintenance during prime time play hours?

Doesn't matter, I haven't been able to get on the Asia server for several hours so I was playing my America server monk. Maybe I should just reroll my Witch Doctor on America. Asia server seems to fill really fast.
 
So... what's this AH you're all talking about?

Just beat act 1 boss on Nightmare. Ridicously easy with kamikaze dogs + respawn chance ability, I just kept making them explode and most of them came back to life just to make boom again :D

Act 2 boss on the other hand...
 
FUCK BLIZZARD, how much did they hotfix while I was sleeping?!
 
mortar, teleporting and walling are the worst things for a demon hunter, my god, lol. damage reflect is also really bad for me because I have zero lifesteal.
 
Queues eh? I was hoping early morning would give me a chance to experience a low latency game but this isn't promising. I guess only being able to play at prime time eastern and weekends means it'll be awhile until I get to play an optimal game.

None of the bosses are much (if any) harder on NM. None of them change significantly other than being less forgiving of mistakes. Pretty much every single rare pack from Act 3 onward caused more of my deaths than all the bosses combined.
