Wtf, had to kite them all the way because they were fast and lightning enchanted -_-.
 
Guys, can I use weapons I pick up as the Witch Doctor? Im only able to shoot darts.

The new skill system is fucking with me. Can't get my head around it
 
If you guys have questions about where an npc is, you should probably ask it in the spoilers thread.

Edit: I'm guilty of this myself.
 
I can't play longer than 15 minutes without getting disconnected with error code 3007,soooo frustrating!

I'm having the same problem. If anyone else is having this problem, I'll say that I've found the problem happens much more often in town than when out and about. Could be coincidence I know, but test it for yourself.
 
Is the vsync weird or does it not play nice with adaptive vysnc? I can't play in full screen mode, and am not sure the best way to set everything for this game to get a perfect 60. Maybe it has to do with playing on a plasma via hdmi? GTX 580/2600k.

FRAPS gives different readings, and the in game counter is at sixty, then flashes to 30. Game is still great, but I feel like something is off and it could be smoother.

Yeah, the DPS of the weapon will affect the other abilities so equip the best you can get (taking other attributes into consideration obviously).

If you mean hitting with your weapon, you can't unless you remove one of the skills form your mouse so it defaults to using your equipped weapon. All skills use your weapon damage for their own damage however so it's always better to just spam skills. Be sure to enable Advanced Tooltips soyoubcan see how much damage your skills do.
 
I loved Diablo but kind of hated Diablo 2.

I was really worried that I wouldn't like this game, but the sirlin.net breakdown of how it did everything pretty much the opposite of D2 sold me on it.

I'm glad it did because the game is excellent. Only played a Demon Hunter to level 15 but man, this is fun.
 
Is it possible to access the Auction House from inside the game or can you only do it from the character screen prior to logging in?

Are you talking about this?

Ambient Occlusion

Found it while googling.

Yep. AO is pretty much always a very nice visual addition but it has a particularly great effect in this game since the darker, fuller shadowing adds a lot to the atmosphere on top of being much better-looking.

I loved the shit out of Diablo II but this is a much better game, IMO. The amount of clean up and polish on convoluted, archaic crap alone would make it hard to ever want to touch II ever again for me.
 
Barbarian's Cleave is just devastating early on in the game. There are many instances where you can leap in, stun, and wipe out a massive number of enemies in a chain explosion.
 
I know purists will hate me for asking, but is this playable on a trackpad? MacBook Pro user here and would like to try Diablo a bit...
 
Got a bit of an OCD question:

Can you change the order of your listed characters int he character select screen?

I find it a little annoying that they are hard locked in the order you created them in with your first main character at the bottom.

It would be nice if they sorted them by last played character at the top or the most played character at the top.
 
Awww ur kidding me. Another rollback?

And there's net lag in a single player game?

Most of the code runs from Blizzards side. I think the client mostly has digital assets.

I got my WD to 11. seems really strong. I tried frogs and had the same feeling as stress test beta in that they don't seem all that great unless you are willing to stand in near melee range. Even then they are slightly frustrating. That said, it's amazing how much getting the different runes changes the abilities so I'm sure it'll get better.

I've played Torchlight on my humble white MacBook and I don't recommend it... Double clicking is hell itself and besides, you can get a cheap mouse for like 10€ anyway.
 
You guys think the game is worth the $60 if I never plan to use the multiplayer?

Also, after really enjoying the guest pass for this, how does Torchlight stand up against it? Any other games your would recommend (on a mac)?
 
I was 90% through a very long dungeon when the servers crashed last night. Now it's dumped me at the beginning...

More checkpoints please ;_;
 
Question about Wizards, what is offhand they should go after? Like mine has a shield, lol. I don't think I should be equipping these?
 
Thanks Derder and kyubajin; I'm skipping the trackpad idea and considering picking up a mouse ... or just avoiding growing my backlog :)

Certainly. It'll be a nice ~60 hours to get a single character to max level.
And since your characters are multi by default, nothing's stopping you from taking your char for a whirl with gaffers.

Whatever has the stats you want, really. Gotta weight the pros and cons between things and 2H/1H+OH, etc.

Shields are probably not a great idea though, unless its for something specific later in the game, maybe?

What do they offhand? I am using a wand in the main hand. I have yet to see an offhand for them other than shields.

There are specific offhand for Wizards, as with the other classes. Books, orbs and such.


Ah! Thanks! I'm still in act 1. Hell I'm still level 8. :P

Yeah, this is basically how I feel. I'm glad they didn't regard their own game as some sort of holy bible that can never be deviated from.

Someone just mentioned above, but offhands start dropping for Wizards towards the end of Act I, I think? Books and Orbs and the such.
 
Need some NM advice. Right now I have 417 dex/600 dps and 328 vit/3700 life. I have very crappy shoulders and bracers. Also I'll upgrade my gems soon(once I have the moneyz), so you can safely add ~100 dex/50 vit. Is that safe enough for Act I? Please don't forget - I'm playing HC.

And why is noone posting images like crazy? I remember the Skyrim thread ... everybody showed off his char. I'll make the start.

 
Damn, accidentally pressed escape when it prompted me to accept the follower's help before the Skeleton King since I was leaving a menu. Any way to get him back?

Guess it's better he's not around since it'll be slightly tougher without him. And by that I mean still very easy. :p Especially with Soul Harvest, jaysus.
 
Love the game!

So I started a Monk, she is level 10. But now I am wondering if I want to stay with her or try something else. I am almost thinking I should stay the course until I finish the game once, then try a new character.

He is in town. You can recruit him at any time after he offers to join you

I'm barely leveled up nothing worth showing yet. Give it time people will definitely show off the goods.
 
Could anyone tell me which is better:

1 bow with good DPS and a quiver with +7 dex and 10% faster attack or 2 bows with decent DPS?

Undecided if I should just duel wield crossbows or have 1 crossbow + quiver. Does the damage for both bows stack or just the main bow stack on the skills?

I can't seem to see a use for Soul Harvest since usually am not very close to the action. Same reason why that Zombie Dog passive doesn't do squat since it has a range of 12 yards.
