bots? are you sure?
Yes, a friend is using it right now.

Well, was a friend. He was map hacking as well a few days ago and much as i can't stand hackers that didn't bother me THAT much but fuck people who use bots and i won't risk getting my account stolen if that bot takes info like the ones in public games.

Apparently the bot has been out and a lot of people are using it.

sucks.


Also, is the AH down?
yes.
 
Diablo threads before release -> hype through the roof
Diablo threads after release -> depressed about the idea of going home and playing.

I had little to no intention to use the AH ever before, but reading this thread has solidified my position on that entirely.

AH made the game more enjoyable to me.

To each to own.
 
RE: az glitch

google it, there's tons of results that have a step-by-step guide. Basically people just keep killing norm/nightmare/hell az over and over, need minimum 2 people to do it.

Warden (Blizzard's security thing) hasn't been activated yet. I'm sure there's some other stuff as well. I read about this on the main forum for blizzard hacking (easy to find via googling). The makers of the program(s) explicitly say it's not safe and when Blizzard activates their stuff you could be in trouble. I wouldn't worry too much about it. One good thing about the RMAH is that Blizzard will do whatever they can to stop botting and duping.
 
Is blizzard even acknowledging the fact people are map hacking and using bots to farm?

How do they acknowledge it without also advertising it? Perhaps you should consider the consequences, particularly when what you want doesn't have any value in the first place.

Blizzard has this game called WoW, you might have heard of it. Games of that nature also attract bot-users. Perhaps Blizzard might have some experience with this? Perhaps instead of assuming that they're blissfully ignorant of the issue assume instead that they're working on any number of issues that they don't feel the need to keep you constantly updated about.
 
I cant do inferno with my monk. Blue mobs are more manageable. Rares with those burning invulnerable minions though I just cant handle.

So I gotta question. Does hell have a cap on how good rare/legendary items can be? can you get lvl 60 items or does Inferno keep all that?
 
Brick wall at the Act 2 boss on Inferno. Fortunately I'm almost at the point where I can farm the first boss in Act 2 with 5 Valor stacks, so that should slowly help.

I really like how much my build has changed over the difficulties. Normal is a bit lame, of course, but Nightmare is a little challenging while forcing you to work with a limited skill selection, and Inferno feels very different from Hell because I'm using completely different skills.

I dunno this whole week I've been calmy sitting at work internally yelling at everything "I DONT CARE STFU...$*#^^$ I JUST WANT TO PLAY DIABLO!"

No games made me feel this way in awhile...

Anyone else?
 
my 58 wizard cant even do hell act 2 ( my gear is to crap) and I don't have the money to buy any useful items (since useful items dont drop). So now I am farming act 1 hell to get gold to buy items to do act 2 hell. :/

Any 60 wizards, what build are you using? I am using arcane hydra and disintegrate but maybe there is a better way.

Take your hostile shit else where and take some xanax.

Considering people are getting hacked just by being in a game with bots i would like to know that the product i paid for is being protected.

one of the biggest problem with the game i that you almost never get same-level loot during your play-sessions (especially noticeable with weapons, even cheap AH weapons can easily double your dps). So the guys in inferno are selling the decent hell items (for sometimes rather ridicules prices) and so on
 
Hello gentlemen, can any of you explain me why this wepon stats are not being correctly added to my stats sheet ?
Is there anything that I'm missing ? =(

P.S. "Probabilidad de golpe crítico" means "chance to critically hit".
 
Can anyone give me tips on Act 2 Inferno as a barb?

Act 1 was a breeze - I knew it gets tough from 2, but those initial monsters still scared me bad.
I know that I lack resists, health, and damage. I'm going to try to get a hold of a String of Ears.
I'm just wondering if there's any good tips for it. Thanks.

Ground Stomp, Ignore Pain and War Cry (with resist rune) are your best friends.

I do agree. Granted, I'm still doing act 4 in normal difficulty, so I'm not rushing especially. I'm flat out having more than 30,000g max at any one time, let alone figuring out the AH on the level of million gold items...

They likely won't acknowledge it until they have a plug for it, then they'll fix it and drop a ban wave.

Hopefully it's soon and they fix the whole public hacking fiasco.

Has to be the worst launch week in the history of video game launches, the downtime didn't bother me as much as the fact i can get hacked simply by playing a public game. (unless they fixed it sometime today which according to the forums they haven't.)

That response wasn't very hostile at all. In fact, it was down right calm and pragmatic.

I've heard a lot of people say this, but I haven't heard anything beyond that. Maybe I just haven't been paying close enough attention, but is there anything to back this up beyond conjecture?

Must be a mistranslation. That stat is actually critical hit damage. I've never seen anything over like 7-8% critical hit chance.


game is so good but blizzard is so dumb.

useless legendary items.
nerfing skills without even trying to balance them

That's what nerfing a skill is by definition. It's an attempt to balance it.

Any 60 wizards, what build are you using? I am using arcane hydra and disintegrate but maybe there is a better way.

I used Archon through most of Hell. But if you're undergeared I suppose an Inferno build wouldn't be a bad idea. The main idea is that you want to spend as little time standing around as possible, and having slows/escapes is great.

Lots of people like Mirror Image for this reason, or Teleport with the rune that makes mirror images. Venom Hydra is really popular (the acid pools stack so it's deceptively powerful). Blizzard is great for slowing things down. Arcane Orb is probably more useful than Disintegrate; the problem with Disintegrate is that you have to stand in one place to use it.

Then you have some defensive abilities. I think everyone takes Diamond Skin. Most people in Inferno go with Energy Armor, but in Hell Act 2 Ice Armor can be pretty useful.

I'd also typically take Magic Weapon with everything for the damage boost.
 
Really? I got two on normal and both were trash, and for a different class.
yep, none for me. and it for damn sure isn't for lack of looking.

Yeah, the azmodan glitch is not patched and it's silly. 1.6million exp in 5 minutes.
now that's just sad.

Familiar --> Spark Flint (which gives 12% extra damage)
Magic Weapon --> Force Weapon (15% additional damage)
Arcane Orb --> Celestial Orb (dumb AOE damage, fire and forget)
Shock Pulse --> Piercing Orb (great damage, AOE)
Diamond Skin --> Enduring Skin
Hydras --> Arcane/Fire Hydra (Arcane until I get to the boss. Fire does a little more damage because of a weapon bonus. Arcane shoots faster, so it's preferred everywhere else.)

I'd use Archon...if there was an enemy or boss that could actually give me trouble.

and why don't you have any money? what are you spending it on? blacksmith upgrades? By Hell act 2, I would have expected you to have round 500k in the bank.
 
Are there any forums that are good for mechanics/gameplay discussion? All these complaints repeated over and over is making my head spinnn.
 
Just got my legendary items that double my armor and my dex compared to my previous items (playing monk) with two sockets, for two +22 dex added.

That with a two handed hast weapon I bought for 3000 gold for the AH, I went from 800 to 1250 dps with two items + gems. Level 40. Feels good.

All the % increases seem to increase your base stats, not add onto them statically.

I would guess.

Yea from the start I was upgrading blacksmith (probably a bad idea looking back on it) I also crafted items since I had 0 drops that were useful. I will try your build tomorrow though thanks.

WOW i just realized I could put something else in the mastery slot instead of archon. I thought we were limited to whatever was in the set. (archon, explosion, mirror image)
 
Question for fellow Demon Hunters:

Is Sharpshooter any good? I've never used it.

I've never sat down to do any solid math on it. My gut feeling is that it's probably weaker than both Steady Aim and Cull the Weak unless you were doing some vicious crit damage stacking.

Edit - Besides the Rapid Fire bug, which imo isn't worth actually running Rapid Fire to accumulate NV.

It also bugs on dropping a Sentry turret, will cause the turret to crit 100% of its duration. Me and another DH 2 manned Inferno
Butcher
and we used them. Dropped them right in the center of the area just as the fight started. I like SS with stacked critical damage increases.
 
Love the game, but it has so many issue it feels like a beta.
I can't imagine the rmah launching on the 29th, it'll probably get delayed.
Hopefully blizzard can fix most of these issues soons.
 
Anyone know if they are separating people in shards somehow. When I look at public games I see that only 22,000 are in a public game. Seems low. Maybe everyone is just soloing right now.

I posted the above a few days ago. Today, Bashiok had something to say about this (amongst other things). The thread on the official forums is here (I did not create the thread):

Only 19K in Public Games?

On 19K Players in Public Games

That's weird, I wonder if it's based on ... yeah I have no idea. It could be correct as while people play multiplayer games with their friends (and by the current stats about 1/5 are in multiplayer games) not too many open up their games to public. The rumors of public game hacking could also be scaring people away from it (which is nonsense, FYI). Anyway, hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people are currently playing on the Americas server alone, and we're not fully into peak hours. On a Wednesday.

On public games seeming to max out at 2 players.

Bashiok said:
Yeah that's something we're aware of. It's actually the matchmaker preferring to distribute players out over the game servers for performance reasons, rather than make full games. Until we nail down more performance issues, it's on the to-do list.

On developing class patches rather than platform stability.

Bashiok said:
I'm sure if the game designers had any ability to assist with platform stability, they'd be putting their works hours into it.

Thought his last post was pretty funny.
