whats elective mode

Lets you put any skill in any slot rather than having to use one Primary, Secondary, Defensive, etc. that the game defaults to.

I wonder if beating Normal with Elective Mode off at least tells you about switching Elective Mode on...
 
/vote

I couldn't agree more. Another lesson for WoW players is this isn't a WoW style AH. Once that item is in the AH it is gonna be there for 2 frikin days. I sold 2 items and the rest I priced way to high. another 18 hours to go

/sigh
 
This game really comes to life when you've got a 4-player team with everyone chatting over Skype, getting excited over new skills, trading drops with each other... SO GOOD.
 
It was always there, its much smaller now with v-sync then it was earlier.

BTW my Monk gameplay from act 2

Yep, I dont care about story or music in this game ;P

I dunno what to say then. I was playing the beta since early December, this 60fps shown, but microstuttering never happened till the last couple of patches. The asset loading stutter and the overall walking around and occasional stutter was always there.
 
Just stop trying to sell every garbage rare. Demand isn't that high.

Yeah, and stop trying to sell them for 20,000 gold. Man do people really think someone will buy this stuff?

If people listed low level rares in the 500 - 2500 gp range I might be interested. But the prices that are up there are pretty dumb.
 
Hah, seriously and oh my god why do I have so many posts

9 hour work days in front of a computer. Same reason I do too. I'll drop off entirely come Friday to Tuesday. Wednesday next week I'll be at work grinding again, but the rest of that time I'm on vacation and will be not posting at all.
 
Almost through Act III on my Monk. Fun class, but really easy to die with the slightest misstep after Act II...don't think I'll playing this one in Hardcore without figuring out a ranged build.
 
So I played a little bit of single player last night before I went to bed. About 20 min worth. Pretty good. I had no connection or queue issues.

I hope to come back from my vacation (of playing Diablo III) and being low on the list.

But I probably won't be so lucky :|


:( I hope he at least got to play last night despite being sick/mostly dead. That and the server issues and all.
 
Elective mode is cool but some spells really aren't a good fit for left click

Like Scy said, without this, I couldn't use two of a left click ability. You'd be stuck with just one of the ones that you can assign to left click. This way I can not be so selective and really customize myself better. My plan is to do teleport punch now for left click spam, and my right click hold down will be hundred fists.
 
and nobody forget this!!! Some of us have hardly gotten a chance to play.

Exactly. I've gotten about 5 hours in because I work a lot of hours. It's nice to hang out in here and curb the craving a little, but if somebody spoils something I'm going to be really upset.
 
Well holy hell, when you play with terrible people, this game gets really bad
 
Mine has no max set but seems to top out at 60. Even with v-sync off.

I'm running my game in windowed mode, but I can max it way past 60. I have mine set at 150 right now. Also I can set the max fps when I alt tab out of the game, which I think I set to 20.

So stop playing with yourself and co-op up with someone.

I support this title since I've been doing it wrong until now.

So in theory, you could arrange yourself with 4 primary skills? or 4 secondary skills if you wanted to?

Yup! There's even a Passive Skill, as a Monk, for doing just that.

Incidentally, that Monk Passive is bullshit. It says there's six styles and there's only four Spirit Generating attacks :(
 
Making me sad that I can't play this game still, thought it was just the same problems everyone else was having yesterday but i'm still getting error after error while trying to log in :(
 
Even with elective mode though, you still have to unlock the additional skill slots right? You can't assign anything to "2" until you've unlocked whatever skill is supposed to be there.
 
I have elective mode off as this is new for me and I don't want to have to worry about those things.

I may turn it on in my next playthrough.

I really think they should at least point out Elective Mode at some point. Maybe when you beat Normal? Or after Level 20 and have all six skill slots? I don't know. Just based off the Passives and other things, it basically seems like Blizzard expects Elective Mode to eventually be turned on and utilized so I'd imagine there's SOMETHING in game that points it out eventually.

Yeah, you still can't use a skill slot you haven't gotten a skill for the default category so it's not _too_ useful until probably Level 15+ at least.

Are you connected to the internet?

j/k - that sucks I would submit a ticket to blizzard right away.

I would have no idea about it if it wasn't for this thread.

I'm really surprised someone would want to leave it on... it hadn't even crossed my mind that it would be a good idea for some people to do that. You will need it on if you play higher difficulties I'm sure.
This route blows my mind. There's just so much nothing in Canada (no offense).

Not sure where mine shipped from but if it is the same then I'm surprised mine took even as long as it did.
