Just finished act II and I'm really enjoying it. This being my first Diablo game I'm really taking my time and exploring every nook and cranny and listening to every piece of lore. I'm not sure why there is so much hate for it but I find the story quiet interesting. And damn that CG. Blizzard make a CG movie already.

Looks way better imo but to each his own I guess. Sharpening alone makes a world difference. I just hope that they never ban that mod...or my account.
The story was the most interesting of the four (not saying much, but I enjoyed it). The act had more of a feeling of adventure than the other 4 (with 1 being close behind). The environments and variety within were amazing looking. It also has my favorite town. Act's 3 and 4 sucked.
The first half of Act 3 is the worst looking part of the game. The second half is great with nice looking environments and a ton of action.
Wtf is wrong with your settings? They both look terrible... Did you turn off the lights or something?
I don't know what you mean? Everything is on max and the gamma is turned down a bit. it's how the game looks.
Ah must be the gamma. The game look way too dark.... anyway
Not really, it depends on the daytime though. If I set it up like the gamma screen wants me to it's the right setting for the night without lights in the room. My monitor is calibrated.

Oh, and I dislike Act 2 too! it reminds me of D2 A2 haha...
After playing through each of the acts three times, my ranking goes like this: 3 > 1 > 2 > 4.
Finished up nightmare today, starting hell tomorrow. Final boss of act 4 got our 4-man party in a bit of trouble as we wiped four times. General impressions of nightmare is that bosses are really easy and that packs with 3-4 champions and a yellow-named sometimes feel close to impossible. Don't even want to think about what hell will bring. Finished nightmare at level 48 as the highest level in my party, so we'll have to do some runs of act 4 to level up, which kind of sucks.

It looks incredibly washed out and murky compared to my game.
I'll have to look when i get on and yeah after dropping a ton of gold on the AH i rock NM.
As for the Wizard build
Left Click - I change between Electrocute w/ Forked rune (in NM i have been using MM w/ Split more so but in Normal i was rocking mostly Elec.
Left Click - Disintegrate w/ Chaos rune
1 - Diamond Skin w/ Prism Rune ( i went back and forth on Frost Nova and this but i prefer Diamond Skin because kiting isn't a problem for me and if i get stuck in a sticky situation i can just throw it on and burn them or flip the Archon switch.. maybe when better runes come up i will switch it out
2 - Hydra w/ Lightning Rune because it does 6% more damage and i go back and forth between that and Blizzard but i keep coming back to Hydra because i like the support
3 - Familiar w/ Spark rune because it gives me a 12% damage increase and IMO that is better than horrible magic weapon and the armor spells
4 - Archon (Archon is actually on hotkey 3 but so it won't confuse people who don't use elective mode it's "mastery" which is 4)
Passive Skills
I can't say 100% without looking but i believe it's Astral, Glass and Blur.
I just wish they added more options with the runes because only 1, maybe 2 runes on each skill are worth using and the rest are complete garbage.
1 > 4 > 3 > 2
Funny, i can't stand Act 2.
For some reason Act 1 is my favorite, i could play it over and over without getting bored and i just don't know why.. Same with Act 4, i would say 1/4 are tie.
They made it so that anyone wanting to public co-op the boss has to start hours back from the actual boss as well.
Anyone in NA up for a

Witch Doctors represent.
I'm unorthodox so far, posted my build earlier... I'm all about the AoE DoT (Spider Queen, Eels, Acid Cloud and Locusts). I'm sure I'll probably have to cookie cutter when I get to the higher difficulties.

Hulk Garg is the best. We're being overwhelmed. What do we do? Call in the Hulk.
Makes no sense, with gamma turned down it should look darker if anything. Please post a screenshot. I don't see a difference between how my game looks and screens and videos I see on the web.

So glad they included vanishing dye. You want my wizard to wear a fez as he slays hordes of demons? Come on now.

But yeah, I cannot get over the cutscenes in this game, makes me want a diablo movie all over again

Yeah I don't know why it's almost always 2 people...must be how the matchmaking works or something. As soon as 1 drops, another joins...it almost always seems to settle at 2 :\
Ah cool, you use pretty much the same set up as me. Only difference is I use Blizzard and Lightning Hydra and just ditched the Familiar. Dropping down a Hydra, Blizzard and then spamming Electrocute seems to destroy most things.
I've just been trying and failing to kill

I'm jealous of the life steal on that quiver.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
FUCK YEAH :3Just beat the game on normal. Good stuff yo!
Finished normal..lvl 31. I don't think the final boss was even on my screen the majority of the time.
I really need to read a faq or something. My character was only 400dps lvl 31 DH when I beat the game.

Which Doctor is the last class I'll play :3 I'm close to 60 on my monk right now... I'm going for wizard after this.

bitch I'm taking calls.
It's pretty fucking lame how if you get disconnected you lose everything you gained past the last checkpoint.
I thought I would just have lost progress on my quest or map discovery but the items, gold and crafting materials I found and had equipped past the checkpoint were all rolled back to right before hand. What the hell man? Are the servers that janky they can't even remember the items you pick up past a checkpoint? D2 never did that kind of shit to you.
What happens when I find a legendary item and then the game disconnects and rolls back my inventory to the checkpoint?
Absolute bullshit.

My entire friends list is full of DHs :/
edit: 160% mf runs man... I'm telling you guys, this is fucking ridiculous!
Shielding mobs make me angry ><
Thats not normal. Stuff is synced like on a second by second basis. If i were to disconnect i would have the latest thing i picked up. Losing checkpoint progress is normal.
Sounds like the disconnect you encountered really bugged out bad.

This is my Barbarian currentlyyyy... level 28. Haven't finished the game yet, but will soon.

;_;
I play while listening to podcasts. I miss the audio queues of stuff coming, but it's worth it.
Oh, there are actual invincible mobs? Invincible to one specific thing anyway (physical, arcane, etc?)
In Inferno I take it? That's going to suck. By suck, I mean I'm going to have to just Shadow Power right past.
Jackben
bitch I'm taking calls.
Really? Ok that does make me feel a bit better. I don't mind much losing checkpoint progress but I was going to be extremely pissed if you lost all your new inventory and character exp every time you disconnect.
Hopefully just a fluke bug that won't happen again.
