So I've had pretty much constant latency issues with this game. ~300ms pings from day one even though I get good pings in most everything else. It's not just me, right?

No, my ping has been all over the place too. One minute its fine, next minute there's a huge spike. Been getting them since tues.
 
Blah blah

What if Blizzard decided to do something out of left field and surprise players? The one thing you inconsiderate twits don't realize about so-called 'harmless' spoilers is that some players get a thrill out of seeing whether their expectations and seemingly-predictable elements of stories actually come true or are circumvented. There's a rush in that. There's fun in being 99.9% sure of something, and letting yourself wonder, before it happens, if things might go that 0.1% way, and wind up differently.

Does that mean I want to see what he says? No. And I didn't play D1 and D2, and shit MAYBE they were going to go a different route with it here in D3. Who knows? I can assume, great, but I want to find out on my own.

This. D2/LoD's campaign didn't ultimately end with Diablo at all, from what I've read. It wasn't 100% in the bag.

When in doubt, just be considerate and tag it up...at least for the first WEEK a game's out. Come on.

300ms or worse, East Coast here. Odds are they don't have servers on the east coast...
 
But vault + runes is really good. Just throwing this out there: Do you have invincibility while in the vault animation?

No. Doesn't matter how good the runes are. If when I hit the button to escape getting smashed to bits.. and it doesn't come out.. it's useless.
 
The game is called Diablo 3. The last boss of Diablo 1 was Diablo. The last boss of Diablo 2 was Diablo. If people can't draw the connection, their brains aren't working properly.

Still, maybe you want at least have the feeling that their might be a surprise? And also this games setp is a bit different so there could've been a different ending. It's a fucking spoiler, a pretty big one and it's the second time you are posting it. WHY? You already ruined the ending for me, stop doing it for other people as well.
 
Do Wizards seem underpowered in NM? I have 3 defensive spells on my bar, and I continuously am killed in 2 shots, even with 5k health. What am i doing wrong? I feel like we need some serious buffs.
 
I can't tell if I'm undergeared or if Hell is just that difficult. Has anybody played it or been watching streams? I've got a Wizard in Act 2 with 2800 DPS, 1500 armor, and 78 resists, and I'm still dropping like a fly and barely tickling the Elite groups. I don't think my gear is /terrible/. I can't imagine how Inferno's going to be.
How much health do you have?

Blizzard doing something new and different? Are we talking about the same company?

Does that mean I want to see what he says? No. And I didn't play D1 and D2, and shit MAYBE they were going to go a different route with it here in D3. Who knows? I can assume, great, but I want to find out on my own.


I haven't played much of D1 or D2 either and even I know that in the game diablo 1 and 2 you kill diablo. What would make that different for Diablo 3?
 
That's another issue. I'll push it... and since it has that huge lag I'll think the click didn't go through. I'll click again... and out comes the double vault.

I just find smoke screen so much better.

Once you get tumble for vault, plus tactical advantage, it makes running through areas so much better.
 
So I just crafted a kick ass chest with a socket... I don't have access to the jeweler yet and the only gems I picked up are crappy ones (stats a barb don't care about)...

Is it me or the AH UI is terrible for finding gems? I can search for gems but there's not tooltip when I mouse over the results... Are they uncut or something?

That gives asshats the right to lay down spoilers, just because they meet up with highly probable predictions?

Do you realize how inconsiderate that is man?

Get lost.

This proves to me that you have no idea what we're talking about here. The 'not knowing' for 100% sure is the thrill when you're going through a story for the first time. And no one knows with 100% certainty that a story will end one way or another.

We're on two different pages on this. Done here!

There is no results. Gems in the AH are handled differently. It always defaults to the cheapest gems available. So you'll only see one entry each time you search for gems.
 
They're freaking out about CHAT TEXT... about the last boss in the game Diablo 3?

Jesus tapdancing christ.

Yeah, man. People are just fucking insane and like to get worked up about any asinine thing they can.

Honestly, if you're afraid of learning that
Diablo
is the boss of
Diablo
don't haunt a forum talking about
Diablo
.

Yeah ok but it still doesn't tell me what the gem does lol. I search the Ruby one since I imagine they are the strenght one but I still can't find any details.

Edit: NVM I'm dumb, turns out I had the Jeweler, I just found him on my map lol.
 
Oh god Suppression for Multi-shot is amazing. 1 discipline for every enemy HIT?!! That in tandem with Preparation with Punishment rune makes it ridiculous.
 
Sent you PM Yoshi I need some barbarian dual wield frenzy survival tips man.

A certain boss is giving me a hell of a hard time!
 
The people who think it's A-OK to post up unmarked spoilers on the final boss of a game, in that game's OT, less than a week after launch, when there's a perfectly serviceable spoiler thread, are thoughtlessly inconsiderate of the enjoyment of others, and apparently cannot grasp what other people might be expecting from a thread like this on NeoGAF.

Your own personal view of the ending is OF NO CONSEQUENCE in this consideration. It's a dickish thing to do.

Fuckin this. I had heard nothing about the end of the game until reading the last two pages. Thanks.
 
Every single Blizzard game has been more of the same, updated with better mechanics and implementations than the last. Evidence is pretty much every game they've released.

Maybe they could have updated the story to have a different last boss? It's not an unreasonable thought.
 
Meh, achievements stopped popping again, guess thats mye cue for a break... :\

How long is chapter 4 compared to the other ones?
I'm on my way to close the second hell rift
and I don't know if i should gun through the rest of the game now or wait until i have more time tomorrow.
 
Ugh...I really don't like the UI... The fact that you have to get out of the game, open the AH, go through the terrible menus to find what you want, then you need to manually go to the completed tab to click on "Send to stash" and then you have to resume your game...ugh
 
Started nightmare with my wizard a while ago. Normal was extremely easy. Played alone through the whole thing.

I really like the game, but doesn't feel as special as D2 did. There's something unsatisfying about the itemization I can't quite put my finger on.

Will have to give co-op a try with friends at some point.

Super short compared.

The whole chapter is really short, much shorter than the previous ones

The whole AH system is definitely remarkably unpolished and cumbersome. Seeing all the UI improvements and changes over the years in WoW gives me hope that everything will be far more streamlined and pretty in the revamps to come here.
 
Does anyone have a link to a breakdown or calculator for bow Demon Hunters?

Like 2x 1hander vs 1x 2hander...and then there's the quiver. Like for attacks that base it off of weapon damage, does it average your weapons if you're dual wielding?
 
Not a spoiler:

Guys, don't waste your time on the Sirocco Caverns in Act II, useless dungeon that has absolutely nothing of value in it.
 
The skill system is starting to click and I must say, I like it. Level 7 Wizard still farting around in Act I.

Soooo nice to have new Diablo. The skills are more fun than ever and I like how adding runes changes the visual effects of each skill.
 
So in terms of 2 1h xbows vs. 2h bow + quiver, does it come down to more than just what your dps number ends up being?

Are there passive bonuses you gain from using one over the other?
 
Is the offhand voodo doll for the WD extremely weak because 3-5 extra damage doesn't seem like much, I must be understanding it incorrectly or something.
 
Alright... Since I'm stuck at work and can't stop clicking the refresh button on this thread, I might as well just ask.

I'm playing through on normal mode by myself. I want to finish it on my own (this weekend) before delving into grouping, but I'm not sure that I understand how it works.

Let's say I start Nightmare with Friend A. We finish Act 1 together and go to bed. He has a family emergency and can't play for a week. I play through Act 2 by myself. Friend B appears to be on Act IV. Can I join his party and go through Act 4 with him having only finished Act 3 on normal?

Basically - Can I jump around through chapters? I just don't get how multiplayer works, really. Sorry!
