Damn you Blizzard! I thought we saw the last of error 37 after the initial launch.

lolnope

 

[NullPointer]

they arent going to spend a shitload of money on extra hardware just to make sure everything is smooth at launch when that hardware wont be necessary after a few weeks. especially on a game that isnt subscription based.

Why not? Like they wouldn't have a use for that hardware after the Diablo III population started to drop?

I'd love to be a fly on the wall at Blizzard right now.

 

[KarmaCow]

I don't do this ever, but could anyone help me realize what this might be worth?

yellow ring: lvl 50 required
63 dext
49 life after kill
28 regen per sec
health globes grant 1101
1 socket space

Seems good for monks with all their health regen needs that I was reading about? I dunno, don't play monk.

Monks want Life per Spirit spent so they can use their spirit heavy skills as heals. Life on hit would also be good if they attack fast too I guess.

Generally, good items have high increased attack speed %, resists and high VIT + primary stat.

 

[TUSR]

500k tops I'd say, so put it for 3 times that and some poor soul will bite.

19 life per fury spent at level 60...



lol!

 

[HenryHSH]

Barbs, what do you think of

Decent. 10k.

Spoiler

joke, but my blue is better.

 

[x3r0123]

well look what i found in one run today. Not sure if they are worth anything

i'm still grinding the butcher

 

[Zeliard]

I got in, somehow. Dunno if that means it's up yet or I just got lucky. NA peeps, give it a shot.

Cool thanks

 

[Macattk15]

FUCK. I died at 1% on Inferno Belial. Felt my heart racing from the joy of finally killing him and then I fucking got hit by a melee smash I had been dodging the whole night.

FUCKKKKKKKKKK. Really ruining my fun with this game this guy is.

 

[Z3M0G]

Error 37 for me... I'd keep trying except the error is immediate..

lol!

Yeah, life per fury spent is a joke. I bet you can put a chipped amethyst gem on any item and it'd be better than that.

Edit: Ugh, I really need some movement speed boots. Those fucking t̶r̶o̶l̶l̶s̶ goblins are the bane of my existence.

This kind of rational thinking grounded in reality has no place in this thread full of adolescent rage and people wishing they could 'sex' the enchantress.

What?

Speaking of....
Regarding the comments that she may be a lesbian. Completely unfounded. She's mad flirting with my male Wizard. Perhaps she could go both ways.

Ring is the best of the bunch. Shoulders aren't bad for starting out on Inferno but low vitality sucks as is relatively low dex.

 

[Wallach]

Kind of concerned that the AH actually ate an item this time. All of my auctions came back from last night as ended or sold, except for an amulet that was quite expensive. It's not in my log or in my auction list now, even though it went up with the others.

She says the exact same thing to the barbarian.

 

[jsrv]

Is anyone else not able to put up anything in the AH or are my items bugging out again?

 

[Unicorn]

She says the exact same thing to the barbarian.

But my dick is MAGIC

 

[Trickster]

Ring is the best of the bunch. Shoulders aren't bad for starting out on Inferno but low vitality sucks as is relatively low dex.

Lack of ias on the ring reduces it's value immensely though.

 

[eek5]

Barbs, what do you think of

I guess you could use it with sprint and heal while you're running away but 1900 hp isn't a lot lol

You could do a high crit WW build too but I think you'd be better off with a crit chance/crit dmg/socket weapon

 

[shrapnelmagnet]

Is it worth trying to maintain 50-60% magic find as I level up (currently 35 Witch Doctor in mid-late A1 NM) or should I just give it up and go for more powerful gear?

I only ask because I had to drop it from 88~% to gain enough power to reasonably continue... But I wonder if I should try to keep it somewhere above 0.

 

[JustProgress]

Anyone want to buy this from me or give me a good buyout for AH? Lol, 600dps 2hander at level 42

 

[TheDancingWatermelon]

Ugh just saw a decently itemized Stormshield for 2.5 million, but the AH wouldn't let me send gold to my stash and it was gobbled up. Feels bad.

 

[shintoki]

So, since we're discussing Blizzard being bad, I'd say that I don't personally feel that any of Blizzard's missteps with Diablo 3 are major. Annoying, but mostly fleeting problems. Instead, here are the major mistakes I feel Blizzard has made in the past 5 years:

1) Not properly supporting esports for Starcraft 2. The lack of LAN is obvious, but more generally their almost complete inability to create a firm, refined infrastructure for Starcraft 2 competitions has allowed competitors to come out of nowhere and catch them, such as Riot Games. Blizzard had this market in the palm of their hands if they'd simply approached it the right way, but they're gradually letting it slip away. As it stands, esports remains essentially a fractured mess, with lots of different leagues, lots of different tournaments, teams loosely supported by PC peripheral makers, and not much else. It's growing despite this, but it could have done much better if someone had come in and said, "This is the way it's going to be, this is how the league works, we will create the infrastructure," and taken some share of the profits in the process. This would essentially have been an additional revenue stream not unlike the RMAH is for Diablo: not a huge moneymaker, but a consistent one that both adds some additional revenue and also increases the longevity of the game.

2) Missing DotA. Huge, and obvious. Does not require a paragraph of explanation like the one above this.

3) Awkwardly transitioning to f2p for MMOs. Obviously WoW has so much cache that it does not require f2p, but my guess is the complete lack of information on Titan is a direct consequence of the rise of f2p and how difficult it would be to launch a brand new MMO as a subscription game in 2012, and expect that game to do anywhere near as well as WoW did.

I think all three of these go together. They responded far more similar to how you'd expect EA to respond, rather than a company who for years you'd figure to be more on the intelligent/innovative side of business decisions.

 

[x3r0123]

Lack of ias on the ring reduces it's value immensely though.

yeah, i thought as much

 

[Shouta]

Eh, but, still worth at least 300k if not more IMO. Life on Hit and a Life% is pretty sexy and it has all but INT on it so.

 

[BigDug13]

Do valor buffs stay on if you leave the game and come back?

 

[Themacabre]

Is it worth trying to maintain 50-60% magic find as I level up (currently 35 Witch Doctor in mid-late A1 NM) or should I just give it up and go for more powerful gear?

Absolutely not. You are just going to outlevel the gear anyway and you get WAY more money in inferno.

 

[shrapnelmagnet]

Cool, so just focus on damage output and, if I want, build Magic Find gear at Inferno?

Thanks

Absolutely not. Gold find is significantly better all the way to 60, and probably all the way until you happen to be on the cutting edge of content farming.

Until then, you're putting sacrificing stats to increase your chance of finding an item you can AH for maybe 10k.

 

[FieryBalrog]

Have you guys seen the lag get better? I was gettin 95ms at prime time today whereas before the patch I would always get 250ms minimum. Is it something they fixed or just a one-off?

 

[VertPin]

Sooooo, a bunch of people are chatting my my General chat. This has never happened before. My game is not public. Only one friend is online. wtf? /is new to chat option in games.

No.

Just encountered an elite frog, with shielding, and fast, with invulnerable minions.

I just logged out and reset, fuck that

It's a feature.

auto join general chat...ya that was a terrible idea

 

[Drkirby]

Did they already patch out that Treasure Goblin you could farm? Doing it for about 10 minutes on Hell before work, I was able to actually get a minor upgrade to my shoulders on. I was just about to sell everything too, glad I checked.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Speaking of....
Regarding the comments that she may be a lesbian. Completely unfounded. She's mad flirting with my male Wizard. Perhaps she could go both ways.

that's really part of the point. she's set up like that to appeal to some lame-ass nerdy gamer demographic that would think some corny contrived "I wanna bang Leah...and maybe you too..." personality is "hawt". It rubs me the wrong way. "OMG dah videogame character wants a 3-some! derp derp."

 

[shrapnelmagnet]

auto join general chat...ya that was a terrible idea

NOW it's a Diablo game

Absolutely not. Gold find is significantly better all the way to 60, and probably all the way until you happen to be on the cutting edge of content farming.

Thanks! I'll try to prioritize damage/stats and then gold find.

 

[Unicorn]

It's to raise the difficulty. How can you focus when you're constantly on the verge of RAGING because you see the idiots talking. I almost died a few times while replying to nerfherders. (which is my own damn fault in the first place)

 

[Shouta]

Man, I finally get the money to upgrade to a new weapon and no 1-handers I want are on the AH. Blah.

 

[mysocksarepink]

what u think gaf

price check

 

[BigDug13]

No.

So I don't get how you farm a boss. In order to "go back" to a previous quest, you need to leave the game, right? People talking about taking 5 valor buffs and doing butcher over and over. How do they do that?

They sponsored their own tournament with GSL and now WCS is a great and welcome update on the dead WSG tournaments.

Their biggest misstep with esports in SC2 is not promoting it via the actual game client. It's mind blowingly dumb. Link to championships and streams in the launcher. Have an Esports or Tournaments tab on the Multiplayer section of the game. Let people open pro matches to spectating like DotA 2 if they want to. The weird thing is, the actual game itself was designed with esports in mind from the ground up. That's the whole reason they made it and took so long to balance it and design it, adding things like the macro mechanics and so on. Then once they put all this effort into the game as an esport, they just shove it out there after launch and put it on the backburner. It's weird.

Another huge misstep was taking 2 years to resolve the KESPA/GOM dispute.

what u think gaf

price check

good for gold find people, otherwise, useless

 

[Jetku]

Dear Blizzard,

When it takes 10 attempts to log in, you make me hate the authenticator. Yet I am forced to use it due to the threat of account/item thieves.

Fuck you,
Jetku

 

[LiK]

so glad Butcher on Hell wasn't that hard solo as a Wizard. Heard Act 2 is nuts tho.
