Each yellow repair is 9/10 deaths, so you can multiply the deaths by that amount. Still not looking forward to the hike though, I guess I'll look at farming late Hell acts.
I guess don't die as much then? As the blog post says, hardcore players know of a few ways of not dying.
My Gold Find DH runs Nightmare lol. And I die like once per run on Act 1 Inferno farms for my Wizard. I'm fine!
All this change really does is make it so I won't go back to 5 NV runs in Act 3 until my gear improves a bit. Which is as it should be, really. I shouldn't be considering an Act on farm status if I still die 10+ times per clear.
It's saying that I want to get home from work and buy the ever loving shit out of a Flavor of Time and two good INT/VIT IAS% Rings right now haha.
Did you all people complaining about repair costs also miss the parts where in the same patch they would make inferno difficulty progression much smoother, and mobs don't get damage buff in group play?
Even if you have difficulty solo'ing inferno act 1 right now, you will be able to comfortably do so with a random group after the patch.
Farming trivial content for hours?
Regarding the IAS nerf, it sounded like if they went for the first solution which is to nerf the IAS value on items it would mean that items dropped pre-nerf would still retain the original IAS values which would make them insanely valuable. Do you guys think that existing items would also get their values changed?
The prices after flawless square are fine for a gem that is the top tier tbh, compared to the price from chipped gem to radiant star. I can't imagine they wanted everyone to have them soon and for cheap prices.
The combine costs were around 560mil alone from chipped gem to make the 729 flawless squares required to make a radiant star, the update brings that down to 2 million.
I do, at least I hope they arent stupid enough to leave them in the market. Retroactively nerf them, they really need to be nerfed.

So nobody beat HC Inferno before the nerf...
Agreed, although I hope I'm loaded on gold by then because my armour is going to be a pain to repair in act 4 runs. :x
The crafting cost changes are fantastic too. I'll actually use the Jewelcrafter!
Agreed. I feel like I put myself at a disadvantage when I didn't make a DH or wizard glass cannon to farm with. Now you can still do those glass cannon builds with success, but you need to be more perfect in your execution or else the costs start outweighing the benefits.
Nerf them. Nerf them into dust. I shouldn't be running a better Wizard build than others simply by virtue of deciding on it earlier than them.
Opiate's Shadow Power build to become flavor of the month confirmed?!

Not to mention that better gear will drop from earlier acts, so you don't have to farm the difficult stuff to get the items you want

I wonder if this means people running around with no res gear and just focuses on dps will still get 1 shot

Gotta go beat Inferno before they nerf it now.
haha, same.
Same. Was going to farm a bit and relax but I'd like to finish it before 1.03 now.Gotta go beat Inferno before they nerf it now.
They still tick away. If any finish during the downtime, sorry
On the other hand, it's a great way to snipe some items.

It seems like the change about not being able to skip entire acts in multiplayer was spefically designed to prevent people from skipping forward to the Act 3 Siegebreaker waypoint for chest farming.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Hahahahaha
I found a picture of Yoshi's gaming set up for D3.

Why nerf Inferno? Such a dumb move.
So for you guys that can't get enough of spider women with tits and tons of sexual overtones... this is for you (well more for your GF)

That box art is AMAZING.
Just read the design preview for 1.03, and I think it's great. Maybe you don't all agree with some of the changes but I love how they just straight up said in plain english everything they wanted to do and why the want to do it.
I like the increased drop rates, and I like the increased gold cost for repairs... I feel like those two changes in particular work well together and will hopefully change the overall game for the better.
I don't know how I feel about the damage normalization for coop games... normal, nightmare and hell are going to be face roll easy now... and I don't understand the price adjustments for gem crafting... are radiant squares the highest grade you can find in the wild?
Just when my GF got out of roller derby...
Yeah I know right? Elites normally end up being a bigger challenge than bosses anyway but their rewards didn't match up. Now there is more incentive to hunt down elites after getting those 5 stacks.
Count me in on the people who will try to beat og inferno before the nerf. Don't think I will but now I am motivated...

They were already... now it's going to be laughable.
Hardcore is the only way left to play then.

With the drop rate and NV changes it looks like it will make good sense to just group up and play an act from beginning to end. At the very least it won't be that counterproductive to do so.

Because the claim was made that a barb could tank an infinite number of mobs. Then someone else said "Yes, but it would cost hundreds of millions of gold" to which someone else responded "No it wouldn't."
That's where we're at, and hence I appended an edit calling the argument stupid.
Well, there's still a little bit of time, hopefully... maybe... somehow they look at this again and implement their intent in a better way.
Edit: Or I guess the AH will be that much more unnecessary until inferno then. Which I'm perfectly OK with, lets bring those prices down people. (Also a reason to like the higher repair bills)
Too bad I keep getting disconnected =(

I've got to say, the changes all seem reasonable and geared toward being able to enjoy the game as a normal human with a couple friends, and not as an auction bot.

They're not nerfing it, they're smoothing it out. Right now, the ranged classes are dominating because stupid design decisions that totally keep 2 or the 5 classes from doing nearly as well. They're fixing that so the transition isn't totally abrupt and making it so that the glass cannons have to pay more for the benefit of killing stuff faster. It's an indirect nerf to the folks that can't keep themselves alive and bringing up the classes that needed a little extra help.

Provided you know when the maintenance is happening ahead of time.They still tick away. If any finish during the downtime, sorry
On the other hand, it's a great way to snipe some items.
Otherwise, your only gambit in that space is sniping auctions in the first few minutes after the servers come back up.
Yes, radiant squares are the highest you get even in Act IV inferno. This change is supposed to help crafters be actually useful from 1-59; before now, there was effectively no reason whatsoever to level your jewelcrafter until you hit 60 and had plenty of resource on stuff to spend. It's a good change, but is probably not enough on its own to make JC worthwhile pre-60.

Going to start buying great items with ignore Durability stats. Mwahahaha, oh I was supposed to keep that to myself.
Yeah, the AH should go on hold during maintenance. It's kinda bullshit.
But Inferno isn't meant for "normal people enjoying the game with a couple friends." It's meant for the hardcore, and that's why most will never see it.

I've only ever found Flawless Square in the wild, not Radiants.
I think Flawless Squares are the highest, unless something changhed?
