exploding toads is way better. still kinda annoying on the range

Its great in combination with that soul shot thing that has long range and is fast, so you've essentially got good melee and good ranged combo. It's what I'm using right now at the start of Act 2

 

[zlatko]

This gave me a good chuckle.

Diablo III is the first time I've ever wanted to play a game and not play a game at the same time. I hope by the time I purchase it the server issues are fixed

 

[pxleyes]

Well if your blacksmith one disappears it is impossible to get it back (since you can only do it once per account)

Ah. In fact I just looked and I lost that one as well. Can someone hand me a pitchfork?

[Curufinwe]

FUCK!!!

I was playing and my power went out

I hope to god my loot is safe..

Don't think it's safe to play D3 in a thunderstorm though...

I recommend this:

I haven't had any issues today at all.

 

[Dog Problems]

So for the achievement bugs, would it be possible to put out a patch so that the game can "see" things you've accomplished but don't have the achievement for (such as unlocking the blacksmith) and automatically get the achievement?

I am sure stuff like the blacksmith is easy to check for Blizzard. we will see though.

 

[Jasoneyu]

I seem to be having the same issue. It's not even a low framerate, exactly; it's more of a stuttering that comes and goes. If I turn on the framerate display while this is occuring, it will rapidly fluctuate between ~30 and ~200. I can't find any graphics settings which help; with everything set to lowest settings, this happens just as often and just as severely as with everything set to highest settings.

(Running a 5770.)

I tend to notice that even if a tiniest bit of flog where to show on my screen the frame rate drops a bit. It doesnt affect my gameplay but it is fairly annoying. The worse though is the lag spikes. I can be killing some dude fine one minute and instantly die the next.

Yes. Shouldn't even take a patch. They'll just need to search the database for certain keys.

They may not be able to get the dates right, though. And things that don't directly impact the game state (Kill X number of Y in one hit) may not be recoverable.

 

[Yoshichan]

Anyone know a good spot to farm loot in hell?

 

[MajorPain]

hahaha didn't even get the lvl 60 achievement

good job Blizzard

keep making games

What do you expect from the best game ever?

In my experience over the last two days, they pretty much are already.

Granted there are still periods of hiccups here and there for maybe an hour or so (usually less) but I played a whole lot last night and all day today and only had one period where I couldn't log in yesterday and it only lasted about 20 minutes.

 

[Inanna]

I keep getting bloody disconnected and I have been fighting the same enemies over and over... And when you disconnect the entire frickin map resets!! I'm so in RAGE mode right now! I HATE ONLINE DRM!! My internet connection is fine I dunno why this is happening to me. Found an awesome really rare weapon and lo and behold, got disconnected a minute later and lost it.

 

[Kiraly]

How do I make my wizard completely broken?

 

[Zeliard]

Feels like a missed opportunity not tying certain achievements to experience bonuses. I may have actually cared for them!

At least they affect something in-game with the banners, which is more than can be said for your typical achievements.

 

[marjo]

If I upgrade the blacksmith to produce gear appropriate for a high level character, what happens when I create a new low level character? Is the blacksmith useless?

 

[echoshifting]

Agreed. Every time I hit a new record I expect to see a cheevo and nada

 

[Zeliard]

No your blacksmith upgrades are permanent throughout all chars on your account. Gold also transfers, as well as your stash.

Edit: oh nm, misread

It's weird.

I have played all day today literally. I left it running in the background while I went to get lunch even. In fact, it is still running in the background right now. I have been connected for six hours so far and I have not been disconnected once.

he can still make apprentice gear

 

[Raptomex]

Can you delete a hero? I didn't get very far but all this elective stuff makes me think I should have turned it on.

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

pretty good day farmed the gem stone and blacksmith recipe and made the whimsyland staff cleared the hiden level a couple times and then cleared act 1 on nightmare with a friend but now is time for sleep

 

[TheFatOne]

Is there a limit to teleport using the wormhole rune? I have been thinking about using teleport to speed through nightmare.

 

[Snapshot King]

All the craft NPCs and your stash, as well as your gold is account wide. It's awesome.

go into options -> turn it on. No hero deleting necessary

 

[echoshifting]

How far did you get? You can always turn it on now, and it isn't a very meaningful option until the teens anyway.

edit: man, you can tell the servers are working better today, I can post in this thread without having 30 new posts to read through by the time I'm done

 

[Raptomex]

Well that's significant, thanks.

Edit: Not very far. I've been playing MP3. I only downloaded D3 and began playing the other day before bed to make sure it works okay. 3 checkpoints.

 

[dinosaur_hunter2]

1. Open skill menu
2. Click on whichever hotkey you want to set
3. Use the arrows to switch between categories until you find the skill you want
4. Left-click it and hit accept

Thank you. Didn't know I had to click on the hotkey first.

 

[T.O.P]

Decided to wait for the weekend to start the game but i couldn't resist


4 hour in and i'm in love with my Demon Hunter, game itself is amazing <3


Luckely the servers are now stable, no disconnection or problems of any sort for now

 

[Snapshot King]

Anybody have a list of the VAs for each gender? I'm really happy with my male witch doctor and female wizard (Whoo Azula) but I'm just wondering about the others. I'm guessing Steve Blum is one of them.

 

[Gotchaye]

In general I think the tooltips are pretty good, but a few (wizard) spells have this kind of text:
"[x]s have a chance to cause [y]"

How much of a chance? I'd really like to know exactly what the Critical Mass passive does.

 

[FrontalMonk]

For the guy asking about how stats affect you and can't see it with Enhanced tooltips, here's the skinny:

Strength is 1:1 for Armor
Dexterity is 1:0.1% for Dodge Chance
Intelligence is 1:0.1% for Resistances
Vitality is 1:10 for Hit Points

You're welcome.

 

[marjo]

Great, thanks.

[Rawket Lawnchair]

The guest pass was really worth it. Big duration and gave me a solid idea of what the game looks like. Will be buying in the future.

Turn your enhanced tooltips on.

 

[KPunk]

this game is seriously unbelievable. the only game that i can think of within the past 3+ years to have my full attention. I believe i just finished Act 1.

 

[ElectricBlue187]

Turn your enhanced tooltips on.

As soon as I installed this game I opened the options and turned everything on. I thought everyone does this with new games? but I guess not...

 

[oneils]

Wish they would have made Gems a different colour than white, wonder how many I've missed just assuming they were trash.

Oh wow I just started act 2. Did not realize gems were white. Thanks for the tip. It will come in handy.

 

[Gotchaye]

Turn your enhanced tooltips on.

Doesn't work for that one.

 

[Jasoneyu]

this game is seriously unbelievable. the only game that i can think of within the past 3+ years to have my full attention.

Yeah im thinking the same too. After playing the closed beta for a while I was dismissing this game completely.... but now it's got its loot/character build hooks in me and I can't stop thinking about this game. I was gonna get dragon's dogma next week but I think I am just going to play d3 for the long weekend.

 

[Sothpaw]

this game is seriously unbelievable. the only game that i can think of within the past 3+ years to have my full attention.

Agreed. I can't think of a game that has held my attention like this since WOW did back in 2004. Blizzard really outdid themselves here.

 

[kameha5th]

Haven't had this type of game addiction since I played Ragnarok Online (Which I played for 8 years straight, non-stop. From school -> RO -> Sleep -> School -> RO- Sleep, rinse and repeat).

This game is holy shit good.

 

[LowParry]

archon

Seriously.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I JUST started act 3, I think I'm level 26, playing on normal, how am I doing?

 

[Xater]

As soon as I installed this game I opened the options and turned everything on. I thought everyone does this with new games? but I guess not...

It's pretty dumb that Blizzard is hiding that stuff in the first place.

 

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

I really wish your game states were saved. In all other Diablo games I explore absolutely every nook and cranny of the stages and picked up every piece of loot. Now when I come back to a game and it's not explored it drives me crazy.

 

[MrPing1000]

finished normal tonight with a gaffer, who's name suddenly escapes me.

Diablo is a tough cookie.

Onto nightmare!

Still haven't played co-op with 4 people yet, really want to do that.
