Hope they turn that auto join into general chat off. I see that in the patch notes. General chat is just like Wow's.

And past that becomes absurdly expensive very fast due to the exponential growth in prices, but sadly the only way to get anything past flawless square.

False. For instance, if you're at inferno and you can't find what you need on the AH for a reasonable price, and you have a +6 magic props recipe, crafting is worth it.
I was having difficulty finding wizard belts (while gloves were in oversupply) so crafted a bunch, made a pretty penny and a usable belt.

I made 2 million on 3 bracer crafts. Every single one rolled +50 or more All Resist with other non-terrible stats. And this was only with the 4 affix recipe.
Wait seriously? Oh thank god! Finally all those essence I build up through all my play through's will finally pay off!
I always knew investing in the blacksmith was a smart idea
Especially since you can craft legendary's with him!
Yeah there was no way they were just going to leave him to suck. Him and the jewel man are going to only get better as time goes on.
I'm almost to level 8 on mine.

It's good to work again
I don't mind the AH, it's just that the economy that took form around it had items priced really, really low which made buying things from it just better alternatives than ... well, everything else in the game for equipment. It's a little different at 60 but not much.
As for Gems, they've been removed for the time being.

Yep, jewelcrafting will be better in 1.0.3, too. 2 gems to upgrade to the next level instead of 3, and I think the gold cost is being reduced as well.
Yeah, I feel like I should clarify: The items I sold were from the 4 affix recipe so it was only ~43k a pop. If I need to replace a slot, have the mats, and feel like risking it, it's not a terrible option. Especially when my upgrades are those 1M+ costing AH items anyway.

Only up to Flawless Square, which for those you can just find them on the ground in Inferno. They're not changing anything post Flawless Square, which is where it's the most expensive.

My launcher is screwed.
I plan to dump about 500k in 6 attribute BS makes once the freaking commodities AH goes back up and I can buy a 6 recipe plan for him.
Im just going to gamble and see how I do.
Is this true? Ive been holding gems waiting on the change, but if it wont effect high level gems then...

NA game is down anyway
For me he wasn't. Blew 800k-1 mill + mats on him trying to get a better shield than my current one (bought for super cheap) and didn't get shit. I did get a couple of good bracer rolls 60+ resist all + main stat that sold for 600k each so YMMV. In the end even with that couple of items I'm still behind on money spent vs gained. Might be worth it once you have like 20 million and some good plans like set items or good legendaries to sell around.

Well, that's disappointing. Ah well, thanks for the info.
Should I hold my Exalted Grand Crag Hammer plans and sell them after Blacksmithing is patched to be more lucrative?
This is a horrible idea.
Gonna buy up all the mats on the AH before the patch
This is a horrible idea.

Mr. Community
That's sort of gimping yourself tho. With 5 souls + gruesome feast passive my DPS doubles.
We're talking double damage here - you can run without it if you chose but the cost is massive

Bloodborne is shit
Somewhere in this thread I was reading that the built in FXAA this game provides is shit and is causing the blurred look. They mentioned turning that off and somehow forcing AAX8 or whatever you want.
Checked out the nvidia control panel and set AAX8 as a global setting but it doesn't work.
Any tips?

Here's the precise quote from the blog post:

High level recipes aren't getting any cheaper. See the above quoted passage.Shouta said:
And its not even a good one. What the hell is that, a name and his birth year? REALLY? And no Authenticator?
This can't be life.
Iskatu? That seems like a rather difficult and not very rewarding boss to farm...

Please make me some! (I'll have the mats lol)
I hope you're NA.
Where can I see the full video haha
How much were the Infernal Crafting Ingredients going for when the Commodities market worked? I have been smelting down all my Level 60 Blues for the last few days and have a decentish amount.
Oh, minor tip, while for most equipment only Level 60 items will give Infernal Ingredients, Level 59 Rings and Amulets will also do it.
Edit: Max Auction House time has been reduced to 36 hours. Thats something.

Depends on your class. For Barbarians it's trivial to solo.
I don't think they are lowering the costs. The price isn't bad, per se, it's that the AH is so cheap compared to that cost. Kind of seems like Blizzard had this planned that the gamble cost of blacksmithing would determine market price but that didn't happen. Or maybe it still will just ... eventually.
I need to double check that all the Blacksmithing recipes are least the best base item tiers.
In turn, that's mostly a function of npc's offering you little more than a kick in the balls for loot. I know that's always been the Diablo way, but people are going to dump good loot on the AH for just a couple thousand more than vendor and think 'Yes, I got a couple thousand for it' rather than 'I just got ridiculously lowballed for the stats on that'.
Hopefully the value inherent in the stat bonuses will start to be realised and stabilise (how much is an extra 50 dex worth, for example?) but it'll take a while.
On the lower difficulties its not hard at all. I did it on my DH in NM I think a few times to finish off levels. But there have been much better methods and places to farm for a long time now.
With a password like that I wonder how he didn't his shit stolen sooner, lol.
It's like they didn't anticipate that millions of people would drop hundreds of millions of items with much better rolls than what the blacksmith would ever produce for a single person. Sometimes you wonder what the fuck were they thinking (other than predicting how much money they would make of the RMAH).
Lol this girl on the stream is hilarious, shes rubbing it in so bad. I do feel bad for him though.

The other thing to consider is that there's not as much gold in circulation. As the game lasts longer and longer, there will just be more gold all around, for everyone, while the blacksmith and jeweler costs remain the same. Sure, rich people will have 200m instead of 20m like they do now, but either way, the Blacksmithing costs won't look so bad anymore.
Shes trolling hard.

Update:
Blizzard said:
I think a nice fix for the blacksmith would be if they allowed you to include gems or other lower tier pieces of equipment with mats required for the recipe to help dictate the stats on the new gear.
OR when you broke down a piece of gear the materials it created randomly kept some portion of the stats the equipment had... so you break down your chest piece with 100 int, 50 vitality, and a socket and the essence you get has chance of being like +10 int essence or +5 vit essence, and the gold horn or tooth or eye or whatever has a chance to retain the "has socket" suffix. Then when you go to craft something if you include like 15 +10 int essence your new item has +150 int on it... and then they can cap it or randomize it or whatever else they want to do to make sure it's balanced...
Of course they'll never do that because it would require like a rework of the whole system and make the AH relatively useless

Ya BS isn't bad at end game at all. Like I said 100k gamble on a 450 base dps two handed sword isn't bad. You get a good roll and you'll come out making good money.
Also the mats to make it take a bit to accumulate, so isn't like I'm throwing 100k x 10 down in a couple mins.
Nice.
