You don't happen to have any 1000+ DPS Bows/Crossbows do you? ;P
Act 1 really isn't, aside from champs. Act 2 is a bitch.
Our power-up is sharpshooter + a crossbow with +crit damage. Until they nerf it anyway.

No wonder I've been getting more rares from clouds than I am from mobs.

Not sure if sarcasm....
Act 1 isn't a big indicator on how hard it is.

Wish I had the money for a sweet hook-up. Just started Act 1 of Nightmare and still feel like I'm under-powered and not making as much money compared to most people.
Check Act 2 or 3.
Is there any list of Gaffers on Inferno? I would like to do some runs in party, and most of my friends arent in Inferno yet or stopped playing.

I'm no where near as far along as most of you folks. I've just started Act 1 inferno farming. However the vast majority of my friends are far more casual than even I.
Would help dealing with D3 being down so often.
well the zombies hit me for 5k and i have 27k hp and they also have 27k+ HP. i think i'll go back to act 3 NM and make some gold, lol

It is getting a little beyond the pale with log in issues.
I can be as understanding as the next one when it comes to release window hiccups, but this is just taking the piss...

I am one of the few that disagrees that the AH is ruining the game.
It adds a whole new layer to the game. People who think farming is fun are nuts. Farming is annoying and farm bots can completely demotivate you. Once I found in D2 that half my party in most games were lvl 99 Paladin farm bots I stop playing altogether.
One thing I do agree on is the legendary equipment seems to be useless so far. It really needs to be higher pedigree. I think the drop rate is good. I think you should only get legendary items in inferno otherwise the end game becomes quite dull.
The other problems I do see are training the blacksmith and jeweler. Because you can find jewels and equipment while just playing their cost of the AH plummets and training these guys becomes useless as it is cheaper to just buy items.
Solutions:
- Upgrade Legendary items
- Don't have gems drop up to a certain type
- Make magic/rare items built by the blacksmith just a little bit better than items dropped for their level that is.
- Blizzard should periodically buy good gems, Lengendary and rare items from the AH when they become too available and remove them from the game.
- Avg prices of items sold should have a sweet spot which Blizzard can control by doing the above.

Another day of looking forward to playing only to come home and find I can't. At this point I'm more surprised when the game is actually working.
You know what I like most? They ARE NOT EVEN SORRY! At least in the german PR departement. All they hand out is basic information: "Servers not working. We are trying to fix it. Stay tuned." Something like "we are super sorry that our game doesn't work now for more than a day" would be the least thing I'D expect...arrogant fools. Wittnessing all this shit, this company is definitly too rich. Those things always happen when the success is too big.
I guess i'm just bitter to see americans having a ball on their rock-steady servers and we euros struggle to get in for days on end.

NA servers rock-steady? Ha!

They gave euro servers to the koreans.
I can't agree with Blizzard buying stuff from the AH as I don't think they should interfere with the ecosystem at all.
I rather make them remove the option of removing gems from the gear so when you use it, you use it. And add some gem types.

this. exactly what I thought when I came home...
On one had the AH is really killing how exiting loot drops used to be.. but on the other hand I love the meta-game in terms of trading. See what items sell for what. Buying low and selling high, it is pretty addicting. Sometimes i just log in check out my AH and see what sold and how my auctions are holding up for the day.
I just hate the item limit and the 2 day auction minimum without an opporunity to cancel it.

Anyone know how much an Exalted Grand Crag Hammer Plan should sell for? I can't find any sales that have occurred, and without the AH, there is no frame of reference. I know that "exalted grand" is as high as it goes, so I'm hoping it's worth something at least.
Oh and...NA going down in 10 minutes, WTF now?
Edit: I can't create a game in NA now. Server is going down in ten. Can this game go a day without incident?

There's not much need to remove Gems from the market, there's a greater need for an incentive to actually start converting them up. Right now, it costs way too much for the effect (+34 -> +56 is 15M Gold).
I really think they should have given us only 5 slots. Force things to be priced better. Two days is an eternity in a loot grinding game!
Though, I say that now that I've gotten my Auctions cleared off and have all 10 slots for the first time since day 1.

The NA servers are getting a service update, whatever help that will do. Wonder how long it'll be down for this time.

I'm not outraged because I have other shit to do and other games to play.
This just means more time for Dota2, which is worthy of the attention!
I'm not down with THIS THREAD being a trading thread. Hell, the other thread can even be an appraisal thread. Just not this one.

They're probably nerfing all the farm spots, and closing the Inferno hole. =/
Why not use it yourself? Is that the 6 attributes one? If so you could make some good money crafting.

Are they kidding with this Error 37 shit? How is this still happening? I'm frustrated, but there's no use I guess. I want someone to write a rant for me.

Someone with some organizational skills should setup a post in the gaming community thread, maybe have some sort of google docs where people can post their name and the items they are selling.
