I think the point he makes is fair (there's less value in having a perfect build), but I don't have time to be so hardcore about it so d3's system fits me better personally.

We're only a few days away until the real unveiling of the
Secret Pony Level
Well, monsters don't respawn so you're eventually forced to leave the game :x I think it's also a timed buff anyway.
I assume you haven't played Diablo 2? "In-game" is more like creating a room that people can join. It's not like an MMO with a persistent world kind of thing.

It's also a timed buff (I think they said 15 minutes), so leaving your PC on wouldn't help much.

Undercore as fuuuuck.
Post the list up! I'm hoping I'm off the wall now.
Haha, oh man. You're #3.
FML...
I am glad I am not on the list. Trying to keep my crazy undercore until launch day.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!

Hardground was here, undercore is bitch status.
I have the F5 disease on my amazon orders page. Need to see that glorious "Shipping Soon" order status.
Runes are skill modifiers. Let's say you unlock a skill at level 8, at 14 or so you may get the skills first (of 5) runes, changing it to, for instance, add fire damage that burns for a few seconds. At 22 you may get that same skill's second rune, which leeches life every time you use it. Now at level 22 you have that same skill in 3 different flavors, which you can change as you like. Later on you'll get a few more runes and thus more options for how you want that skill to act. This applies to all active skills in the game, so there's tons of options and variety, even within simply deciding which rune/version of a skill you like.
Just another warning/reminder.
You should really have a blizzard authenticator for this game. Either an IOS/Android version, or the actual physical generator. There's going to be *alot* of hacked accounts, and you don't want to be one of them. Your password, no matter how complex it is, isn't safe.

The girth of his epeen is massive. It can blot out the sun.
Yet oddly he is missing and usually says when he will scoot off to sleep.
YOSHI ARE YOU OKAY!? Please post if you are okay!

You probably can, as the point is to get people to play through the entirety of Acts rather than just boss runs. It didn't take long to come across an elite in part 1 of Act 1 in the beta on Normal.
I could only imagine how crazy this thread will get when the game launches, especially if the servers won't work on launch. Oh the rage that we'll see in this thread..
After having my WoW account hacked, I invested in an Authenticator...best idea ever.
I bet the Blizzard forums will start to get real salty.
Based on what the devs have said, the buff will have a timer on it (refreshes at a new stack gain, I'd guess). They said that the idea with it is "go stack the buff to max stacks by killing stuff and then go kill an unique boss". They also said you'd maybe go do a couple of bosses without the buff dropping if you'd plan properly.
I fear I am dropping of the wall of shame, I must bring more shame to my undercore name!!!
If you love him...set him free
to sleep for the two or three hours he seems to get a day.
Yoshi's post count will go from 10% total to 50% total as he will take on multiple personas to bicker with himself and selves over the servers being down.

With the buff for MF it makes you wonder if it is viable to have any mf gear or just play inferno/hell with the most powerful gear so you can get the buff stacked faster
Incidentally, I just noticed I said six runes per skill. It's five. I can't count.
Let me give you a more tangible example. Fist of Thunder is the first of four "Primary" Skills that a Monk gets. It's Level 1 so you start the game with it. There are five runes:
Thunderclap - Teleport to the target and release a small shockwave that deals 35% Weapon Damage as Lightning Elemental to everything within 6 yards.
Req Level: 6
Lightning Flash - +16% to your chance to Dodge for 2 seconds.
Req Level: 14
Static Charge - The first target will take 37% Weapon Damage as Lightning Elemental when you hit other enemies with Fist of Thunder.
Req Level: 30
Quickening - Critical Hits give you +15 Spirit.
Req Level: 42
Bounding Light - Every third hit releases a Chain Lightning instead of causing Knockback. The lightning deals 73% Weapon Damage.
Req Level: 52
So your Fist of Thunder Skill can use any of those that you've unlocked (but just one at a time). The same applies to the other 3 Primary Skills which all have five different Runes with their own level unlock requirements. And all Monks will have those no matter what. There's a total of 21 skills and each with 5 Runes to choose from for your 6 skill slots.

Runes customize your skill. There are 5 per skill. They unlock one by one as you level up to 60. However, just because a rune unlocks at level 40, doesn't mean its better than a rune that unlocks at level 20. Your skill, rune, and gear choices will all be interrelated. You might want a rune that adds knockback and stun to a skill, while another person just wants to reduce its cost.
Why do you say this? Because of the RMAH?
Your in the top 5 your good.
I got a just got my new mouse from Amazon. I looked at the package twice to see if I ordered a laptop mouse on accident. Feels like a golf ball in my hand. :/
Guess I will use this as a portable on and get a big kid size mouse as well.
Yeah, thats a laptop mouse, I have the exact same one for my laptop.
I actually expect server crashes and i will be raging right here, with other sleep deprived Gaffers.
That's basically the idea, actually. They want you to run through the entire game (or an entire Act) with it to get better drops instead of "enter game, kill Mephisto, leave game, enter game, kill Mephisto, leave game, etc."

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
Less is more, zlatko...
Nice, must bring more shame upon my name. Then commit seppuku in the final Act if inferno to restore my honor.

Thanks for that Ferrio. I've been meaning to do that for a while but forgot. Just added to my account.
Massively popular game = douchebags trying to hack your account info. Even more important for those using the RMAH.
I didn't say it, but I know the answer:
The authenticator makes your account far more secure. It's only a couple seconds of inconvenience for much better security.
This is what happens when I'm at work while this thread travels at the speed of light.
Feel better Yoshi.

My girlfriend uses the same mouse for her desktop and it's baffling. Even more so because her hands are roughly the same size as mine (she is quite tall)
It would be rampant even with out it... with it... ya there's going to be lot of sad people.
Get the authenticator man, this is a huge target and leaving yourself unprotected is really dangerous with this game.
Use the free ios/android app if you can. It does the same thing for $0.

Speaking of the RMAH, you can also sign up for SMS alerts that let you know if something sketchy is happening on your account involving the RMAH.
Dial in one is free if you are broke like myself.
Think of the authenticator folks as just a flu shot. Small little prick/inconvienece that leads to protection from assholes.
Unless they've changed it, having to use one every single time you login becomes a huge pain very quickly.
Wait, so assuming this third party group has reversed engineered the code generation, and now you authenticator seed is available on your computer. This sounds like an awful way to secure your account. No thanks...
