Legendary items will be tweaked for the better, not retroactively.

Just finisher my normal playthrough. Enjoyable is what I can say for it. Problem is that my friends kinda played about 20 hours/day the first week so I have to get to 60 to have any hope of joining them.
I really don't know if I will make it. I never was a huge Diablo fan. At least I got the game for almost half price from amazon.co.uk so I am ok with my investment even if never get to play with them

They don't reroll ?
My friends are level 60 too. But they only have one character.
I have three. It's way more fun. I can join them, do some other stuff, level with friends begining...

Farm Act I. And yea, the AH is pretty much your only hope. Or other trading forums.
yea. Won't affect Legendaries that have already been found, though. Just new ones.
That seems ridiculously high, my unbuffed damage was about 400 for nightmare skeleton king and I didn't have any problems. WD using harvest, haunt, splinters and dire bats with a gargantuan. I'm trying to avoid the AH until at least Hell though.
To the guy who originally asked the question - your vit does seem low, mine is 450 in Act I nightmare. It's more or less balanced with my int.

Ran into my first pack of invuln mobs on Hell. What? Who thought that was a good idea?

Yeah, they rerolled, but they are 50 with their alts by now...
I really need to present them to some girls

Anyone watching Kungens hardcore stream? They're farming some room in Act 1 which seems to have a treasure goblin >50% of the time

What do you want for it? I don't know what I can offer apart from a bunch of rare stuff that is no use to me.

Some combos are just ridiculous. I ran into fast invulnerable lacuni stalkers once. Not even a sliver of hope in that situation. - GG *leave game*
It sounds like Diablo might not be for you. This is akin to complaining that Mario is too linear, or that Elder Scrolls is too open; these are deliberate, fundamental design decisions, and drawbacks are inherent to any decision.
In this case, Diablo is very random, by design. Apparently that randomness bothers you, at least in some cases; I personally like it. Perhaps a less random game might be better for you. I do not mean this in a snide manner; I mean this in the same way I would recommend a more linear RPG to someone complaining about Elder Scrolls being too open with too disjointed a story.
When you say "way cheaper than AH", how much are you talking?
Man that sucks....it's almost like Blizz designed the game so that people have to use the AH. Really takes the fun out of it.

Just making sure you know that you can't get any gold this way.
What are you talking about? I trade people gold this way all the time.

Bliz going to be bringing in the money once RMAH goes live lol.

I mean, any Diablo game is designed around a trading end game. We're you expecting to do no trades end game? You can get through normal and nightmare and, depending on luck, hell as well without trading, but Inferno is another matter.Man that sucks....it's almost like Blizz designed the game so that people have to use the AH. Really takes the fun out of it.
Lol, is this honestly true?
To be perfectly honest, I just assumed it could be done, I've never actually traded anything in game, I normally just drop shit on the ground for friends. Unless your just fucking around.

?! how?

quick question: should I keep playing with my Witch Doctor (NM) or restart with a Monk?
FieryBalrog

You don't have to drop the items on the ground, lol
It's right at the top of the trade window. The box with the gold icon next to it. Put a number there.
FieryBalrog
Member
Only if you don't like your Witch Doctor, why?
Maybe the patch will give people +100 to intelligence and idiots will stop trying to sell shitty items for 90 million gold.
Open an actual trade window with the person you're trading with. There's a place to put a gold amount in. You can't trade by throwing it on the ground, as with equipment.

There is a trade window? haha, wow. I feel really dumb now.
but doesn't that mean people can circumvent the RMAH?

Confirmed: people do wild shit for set bonuses. lol

Sure, people could circumvent the RMAH. But you'll be dealing with the shadiest of the shady if it isn't someone you know, and Blizzard won't give a fuck if you get ripped off. Anything that passes through trade windows is donezo as far as they're concerned.

I dunno, I struggle too much with him... I can't find a build that pleases me yet. Monk on the other hand its just click and win, and he has a lot of very useful skills.
But reading some WD builds, apparently he gets much stronger later...
Sites are already doing that by selling gold/items.
Oddly enough i would trust some of those sites over random people in-game, i know many people who still buy gold for WOW off those sites.
I'm awfully glad for it, for two reasons.
One is that there is eleventymillion fucking things on there already. If people could list more than 10 things each on there at a time now, it would be an even bigger disaster than it is already. This problem (if it even is one), would be mitigated by a better filtering system, but alas, in it's current state I'm glad for this listing limit.
Two, it means players are forced to make some choices about what they're selling, thereby adding an element of meta gaming to each individuals stash and bag. The player is made to ask themselves, "Is it worth hoarding these things that might sell for <$50k, or should I just vendor/salvage them"? As a result, we see high level players forced to set an arbitrary cut off, whereby they only try to AH items that have realistic chances of selling for $100k (or whatever) plus.

Finished act 3 killing the last 2 bosses with 5 stacks, woo. Got pretty lucky with not encountering an invulnerable set of mobs or Soul Ripper packs from Tower of the Damned level 2 through the end. No drops for me, but a few decent rares that will hopefully sell.
Iskatu was.. interesting. Looked completely ridiculous at first, but switching to Custom Engineering and sticking myself in a corner with Caltrops and Valley of Death kept the minions at bay. Then just melted Iskatu when he showed up.
Rakanoth was a really short fight, but amusingly, the attempt I killed him anything that could go wrong did, I just managed to hit some miraculous RNG and dodge everything. Shitty loot though, with only 3 stacks.
Breached Keep, though, has definitely been the most amazingly painful experience on Inferno so far.

Well, random people in-game you obviously would only trade with gold so they can't really rip you off. He's talking about real money transactions, and none of those sites are safe.

I can't fucking stand how rare mobs get all their life back after like 10 secs.
But their fixes are designed to make inferno harder, not easier. They aren't trying to bring everyone up to DH or Wizard level, but rather bring everyone done to melee level.
