And now the game thinks I've completed all the quests before Act 2 (I can select them if I click on Change Quest), so my progression is kind of fucked.

it says your battle tag doesn't exist
I was fighting a elite (rare?) mob with invunerable minion in at a tiny corridor. =_=
Thank god the objective was to grab an item from the dungeon. I just vault my way in, trap and tp back. lol

So which one is better for gold farming: boosting Gold Find or boosting Magic Find? I can only use one gem with my helmet.
Yes.
From what people say here, gold farming.

Yeah, that's the notion. I've found it kind of fun the couple times I've run up against it.

I officially hate teams where everyone but me is idle, on Nightmare.

I've played it for about 4 hours, which is to say not a lot, but man I'm not enjoying the game so far.
Sure, I"m still playing normal, but so far all I've done is walk around and click. No threats from enemy at all, the game heals me automatically, I have no worries about mana, and it seems like the stats are not customizable. I'm not sure if the skills are customizable, but I haven't really gotten to the point I understand it.
Hope it gets better from here, but I'm worrying that this is not the game I waited 10 years for D=

Normal is pretty easy mode, the skill system also develops as you get higher and have more potential loadouts.
Nightmare and up is where the game really comes into its own, which is a bit of an annoyance.

I'm hearing from people that the chars are not customizable. As in, I can't choose what skills to boost, what stats to boost, etc.
Is that correct? :/

I think it's intended that rare and champion mobs are supposed to be harder than bosses. Some of the combinations are beastly on Hell, I don't even want to imagine inferno.

this game isn't diablo 2. Your build is very customizable, but you do not put in points into anything, things naturally unlock as you progress. The building comes from all the different combinations of skills and runes and stat boosts with weapons.
There is no boosting. They all scale with weapon damage or whatever. Just pick the ones you want to use.
Had a DH in hell act 3 while a group of 3 was clearing the first section just go "hold on a minute" and went afk for 20 mins then came back and said "gotta go, sorry" and then left the game. I whispered him and voiced my displeasure with his actions.
Do people not realize they are making it a pain in the ass for everyone else?
As i didn't reach inferno or hell i remember from D2 days mobs with normal attack and magic attack resistance. Things were fun back then...
i had this same problem with my friend
ill shoot you a pm with my email
edit: also make sure you put styles#1930 with no spaces if you didn't try that.

I'm feeling the same way about D3, I've gotten past the SK battle but it's just not doing much for me, and I was addicted to D2.
I don't know what it is, something just isn't clicking, and I keep losing interest
I can't even imagine inferno. I'm practically about to call it quits. This seriously puts a damper on the entire game. I've only had one hell party that could actually get quests done. Other than that it's been just death after death after death from terrible elites that literally can't be touched. This is such bullshit. I barely have the motivation to make another character if I know I'm just going to run into this shit again...

It's much much worse in Inferno as Elites have 6 random traits.
Mortar Immunity Molten Faster = good fucking game
I don't even know why they designed it like this. This is pretty much the worst thing I have ever seen lol
This is my feeling about the game right now.
Just beat the second mini boss on act 2 on Nightmare and I've had a total blast with my wizard and playing it with two of my mates. Brilliant fun.

MF is averaged but you'll get far more rare drops from partying as, from what people say, MF is just a matter of determining the stats rather than the drop rate. I've gotten something like 6-7 yellows in one dungeon floor in a party before. Soloing is only faster if your DPS isn't as high. You can make very quick progress in a party, even blazing through Normal and Nightmare.
Magic Find is probably better for higher levels because you'll get more worthwhile drops that you can use especially if you get lucky with legendaries. Gold Find is the choice for leveling IMO as you can use the AH to buy gear as you level if you get shitty drops.
I think that's the point of inferno though. It's supposed to be tough as diablo's balls

For starters, no game is ever balanced at the beginning. Expect changes in upcoming patches. What those changes will be nobody knows, but it's fairly certain there will be plenty of changes in the coming months, like every other game.
Secondly, on higher difficulty levels gear becomes ever so much more important. Are you just going through the game at a constant pace, relying on whatever random drops you happen to find? Start decking out your characters. You can find some really amazing stuff on the AH for cheap if you look.
Finally, yea it's inferno. It's fucking hard. Make some friends and try to group with them regularly. Don't do public games.
I'm curious to see if anyone will ever beat Inferno on Hardcore. I honestly don't think it will ever happen, given the penalty for dying means you have to go through all previous difficulty levels again from the start.

lol, this sounds horrible
I forsee a nerf coming to Inferno anyway now that it's been world firsted.
So I finally got this installed for the weekend. I played a session with Ken from GAF. It was a lot of fun. I was playing a barbarian because it seemed simplest. At first, I was thinking this game wasn't really for me, but afterwards, I kept thinking about it so I went back to play a Demon Hunter. The holding shift thing bothered me for a long time, but I think I'm used to it now. I'm having a lot of fun with the game.
I got to Act 2 today. The difficulty increased by quite a bit. Act 1 was really easy and I never dropped health really. In Act 2, I find that I'm often running around with like half health and I finally have to use potions.
My character actually looks kind of cool now too. I enjoy getting different looking equipment.
I'm pretty poor. Is it worth it to pick up white/grey equipment to sell? I feel like I'm not getting much for them and my inventory is constantly full.
Do we have some GAF list or something? I would enjoy co-op with GAF.

No, don't pick up grey equipment, or most white stuff, it's really not worth the space in your pack. Pick up gems, though.
Yep, and a lot more hp for the elites. I did tough it out and fought the spawns of hell the best that two barbs could. That same barb and I ended up rolling through the end of act 3 together and wiped about 35-40 times thanks to some *ahem challenging elite soul lickers that you literally can't get away from. My favorite was arcane, waller, desecrator on some of the narrower sections on the descent down.

I pick up greys and whites because sometimes blues and yellows will be hidden under them and you can't see it until later.
When I run out of space, i just drop all my greys and whites.
Just hit tab? i have never had a item mysteriously hide under another item.
The name will appear on your screen regardless how many items are in that spot.

No, it isn't. By Act 2 I was picking up only blues and up, and salvaging most of my blues while selling a few. You get a decent amount of gold just from the gold drops alone.

Oh god. My first gold monster that regens HP. It regens so fast I couldn't damage him enough, I had to run away, lol.
This is the wrong kind of "tough" though.
This is not good video game design. This is just laziness. Blizzard did a good job of adding difficulty to WoW raids with hardcore modes with well designed mechanics. In Diablo 3, they just thought of the most asinine, obnoxious mechanics and put them all in a hat for the game to pick which ones to use on each Elite.
Like I said, Mortar + Molten + Immunity plus the sentry lasers and freeze bombs around the area of battle just make it all a pile of bullshit.
Can't commend Blizzard on this game at all. It lacks content and an endgame worth a damn. I haven't played Diablo 2 but I'm glad I didn't wait 10 years for this. I'd be sorely disappointed.
