Skill build is working OK now. I'm not a fan of my first passive there (the one that reduces discepline costs by 10%). I need to figure out a new one. For bosses, Mark of Death is amazing, but I don't want to keep it on for farming...But I know once I hit 60, I'll lose my MF buff by switching things around. Not sure what I'll do yet...

Nice Green Goblin outfit lol
 
That item drop is one of my biggest gripes with the game. There are not enough super rare items in this game, and even then the drops are ridiculously low. PLUS you might get a super rare item with shitty random stats.

Everything in this game screams basically "USE THE AH", to make money for Blizzard with the money AH.
 
Inferno mode unlocked! Last boss was fun on Hell mode. First real challenging boss fight I think. Kinda bored of the game now though. Needs new content badly.
 
So after a week of work and day tied up with other arrangements yesterday, I was looking forward to getting a good session of Diablo 3 in and really get into it! Lol, NOPE! I'm one of the lucky europeans who haven't been able to log in all day. Nice one. I can't believe this is happening SUNDAY of all days, Jesus Christ. Really couldn't have picked a worse day. Just shows that games are not yet ready to go totally server-side. What a mess, it's one thing after another. Simply a disgrace to be honest.

No Europeans can get in at the moment, it's not your bad luck.
 
How do I start up the Nephalem Valor thing?

Get to lvl 60 and kill a champion or elite pack for 15 percent additional mf and gold find. stacks 5 times and resets if you change your skill build or fail to kill another pack in 30 mins. Keep finding and killing the groups and you can keep it indefinitely in a game.
 
I've been working the whole week; now that I've FINALLY found some free time to play D3, the Europe servers are down.


DAMN YOU BLIZZARD

Ah cool thanks. Can I change equip during that time?

Also disappears if you change Acts without leaving the game.

Yes
 
The people defending Blizzard kinda make me sick. An entire continent can't play their new singleplayer game (with optional co-op) at all on a sunday, and it should be expected and accepted??

Would you expect ANY other product to have issues like this? A TV? A car? A phone? But since it's a game it's all fine.

I wish developers/publishers were actually held liable for shit like this. Bethesda should be out of business after the whole Skyrim PS3 debacle.


It's shouldn't be expected no, but shit can happen, technology ain't perfect.

And yes, I would expect things like a tv, car, phone or any kind of technology to not be perfect and always work properly. Nothing is perfect after all.

The rage that some are expressing in here is quite funny, it's like they think that blizzard decided to purposfully annoy all of europe for shits and giggles.

do I make you sick? please say yess


Wait what ? I thought it's unique (as in diablo 2) and sold it terrible stats...

Are every "legendary" item have same magic abilities as other magic and rare items ? :>

Legendaries and Set items in Diablo 3 are horribly itemized, they don't have any special stats on them unlike in diablo 2. They have a few specific stats, and also some stats that are completely random. Bassically, they suck. Buy magic and rare items that are way better.

Yup, what's even the point of crafting, you can find a rare with the perfect stats on the AH, which probably will cost you a lot less than trying to roll that with crafting.

So...

why?
 
Whaaaat ???
Really ? Even set items are random crap stats ?
Jesus :/ ... I thought they were very rare because they're awesome not just because they have flavor text...
 
Is this actually a real Europe-specific technical problem (i.e. due to a different configuration/specs of the European servers), or did they just try to save some money there at our cost ?
Come on, conspiracy theories?
 
eurgh so pissed off about EU Battle net, what a joke, where's the redundancy? Yes I could play on the americas server but I don't want to waste time on characters on a server I wont normally use.

I can accept downtime is a fact of online life, I can even accept that D3 is online only (didn't really have to be but I bought it knowing this could happen) what really gets to me is how poorly prepared Blizzard are for inevitable server problems, they haven't got server status shown anywhere in game, there's one section for notices hidden off on the right hand side of the screen that provides no details at all.

I think people saying there was nothing Blizzard could have done to prevent this are a bit off, they could have prevented all of it, they made a cost-value judgement on their server situation (fair enough they are a company out to make money), and they made things worse with a piss poor set of systems to handle errors on the client side (this is what they really deserve shit for).
 
I would advise anyone asking me not to use the AH. It defeats the purpose of this game if you just buy your way to leetness, and any loot you gain through killing mobs will not even come close to what you just twinked out. You'll plod through the game destroying everything with no challenge.

I've thought about doing it at 60, but only to complete set items.

Of course, its your game and not up to me to tell you how to play it. Just consider it carefully before you do it.
 
going by how good this game sold do you reckon activision will push for a diablo 4 fairly quickly ?

From what I gathered they are class specific though, right? Wich means all stats on the items are relevant to the class.

Anyway, I bet this maintenance is to combat some kind of botting/duping or whatever. Or at least I hope it is since they are so tight-lipped about it.
 
I'm thinking about restarting my normal run. I'm a barb now, but I keep hearing they suck ass in the harder difficulty levels. I only just got through act 1, so it will be no big loss.

It's probably a case of them cheaping out on their servers.

By the way. How do you guys check your ping in Diablo 3.
 
Grenadier DH with stun grenade and cluster arrow is rather awesome in co-op. Especially in nightmare+, so many stuns give so much help.

Once I hit 56 i'll have to try out a rocketman build.
 
What a bitter surprise come back home after an evening spent tasting italian wines and want to play all drunk... servers are offline? I usually don't like memes but... FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

there's a little colored bar at the left bottom of the mana sphere, if you rollover with the curson ping popout

Apply this argument to any Blizzard game and then consider the answer. It's been nearly 2 years since the launch of Starcraft 2 and Heart of the Swarm still isn't out, for reference.
 
activision cant push anything, thats not the way they merged. Its mostly the name, blizzard has full right to do anything (and thus delay anything) they want.
Blizzard is a subsidiary of Acitivision Blizzard, a company headed by Bobby Kotick. They can mandate anything they want.

I don't think you would make it through nightmare/hell without using the AH, certainly not in coop. At least not for weapons, you need that dps boost or you will get owned by elites.

I agree with this for new players.

The AH takes all the fun out of the random loot drops, something I really did not expect in a game like this.
Even killing hard bosses on nightmare is boring because it'll just drop stuff that goes straight to a vendor. The thrill is gone.

I'd like to hear from some Diablo vets about this.
 
Any of the Monks out there think that Exploding Palm needs the de-buff icon on enemies changed a bit? Would be nice to have a more noticeable marker above their heads. I find the current light blue one gets lots pretty easily.

Also they should make all Skill Runes have sockets in them so you can get them to change their element types to more diverse things.

I kinda miss the Rune system they first showed off, since it gave players something else to hunt for but I do hope they add more socketable objects later down the line.

Really fun build. I really started enjoying the class once I went full demolitions, crazy explosions shit.

Haven't used any of the archery skills for more than 2 minutes.
