Sacred talk!
Starting out with a monk as my first serious character. Only played as a demon hunter and barbarian on PC.
This controls really well with a gamepad. Always figured it could from M+KB fine, but this is even better than I thought.
Also, just as I felt when this first came out, the atmosphere and presentation is top notch. I know many don't feel it looks as interesting or as dark as the first two games, but I think it's great. Music is good as well (though maybe not as consistently great as D1 and 2).

Huh? What did I say? Did I screw up again? :(
WOW! What a difference a class makes!
I picked this game up yesterday and started the Barbarian class because I remember really enjoying melee in Torchlight and I was not enjoying myself at all.
I slept on it and started demon night and I am into it deep. Fun doesn't even describe how much I like this game now and I feel so in control with ranged attacks plus I love the mechanic of dodging and weaving my way through a swarm to find the distance advantage so I can waste fools. Feels good!

Barbarians suck for the first 12-15 levels, then they become killing machines and are insanely powerfull and fun (my main's a barb)

I may try her again after I bone up using my Demon Hunter for a while. Hopefully have a better feel of the game system and it'll make the difference I need to enjoy the Barbarian.

I wouldn't want a non DEX crossbow. That's the entire point. But if a legendary crossbow drops, it's going to have INT all over it due to my class instead of DEX.
You basically read everything I wrote as the complete opposite of the meaning. I know an INT user can trade with another INT user even if it's not the same class...duh. An INT user can't trade with a non INT user in this game without boning the other class' primary stat due to how loot is completely catered to your character.
Got my third legendary (second in about fifteen minutes), found in a pile of bones in the middle of the desert. Just lying there for all these years.
So far, they've all been specifically tuned with Dex for my monk, even though the two-hander would be much better for a Barb (I like high attack speed on monk, so I always go for one-handers).

Legendary crossbows drop far rarer if you are playing Strength/Intel class. Also Witch Doctors can use some Xbows as well if they roll Intel.
To be honest I don't even think non main stats should be rolling on class exclusive gear. Like when is it ever going to be useful for a Mighty Belt to roll Dexterity? Or a Wand rolling Strength? These are just some basic flaws in the itemization of D3. At least the smart drop works very well.

Well, I just gave away a legendary quiver that had...93 INT on it. It had a higher DEX score, but still.
Yeah that's the problem... why the hell is a Quiver rolling Intel? There is no situation or build that would make use of that stat.
It's seemingly going to be extremely rare that you're going to get an legendary drop that's not for your class though, so I'm not sure if this will wind up being a practical issue. I'm about to hit Act 4 on Hell and have gotten 44 Legendaries, and only ONE was an item not for my class.

I've had nine legendary weapons drop, and only one of them was class specific. It was a Monk Daibo too...with loads of INT. Pretty much every weapon I've had drop is something all but a Demon Hunter could make great use of, but because of all of the INT on them, they are only decent for a Monk or Barbarian.
Weird, but unless that turns out to be super common I don't know if it's that big of a deal. There has to be some allowance for variance, you can't have every single legendary drop be nothing but ideal stats for your class. Now if that's happening more than say 10-15% of the time or something that's probably an issue, but I'm not sure anyone has enough time in to see how that part pans out.
I've had 13 class specific drops (playing as a DH so I've got quivers and cloaks as well as class-specific weapons) and almost none of mine had that problem. I had a few that had Int on them, but never as the primary or taking up a primary roll slot or that really hurt the weapon in any way other than costing it a "perfect" roll, but that's 1% endgame farming that I'm okay with. But again, that's assuming it actually pans out that way, probably too early to tell. I don't think the issue of getting a drop for another class and having it suck for that class because it's based on your current class' primary stat is going to wind up being much of an issue though given the (apparent) rarity of getting drops for other classes to begin with.
Edit: I see your edit, that makes a little more sense now. I don't know that I can speak to that really though since because I'm playing as a DH right now I'm getting all bow/crossbow drops which no one else can use (except WD's on the 2h ones). I double checked, I actually have gotten two non-DH drops, one was a 2H mighty weapon that had crazy Str, and the other was a shared 1h sword but I can't remember the stats on it that, so hard to say. 2 drops isn't a great sample size for me
Reaper of Souls... Believe.The only way I would ever consider coming back to this game is if I see this.

I had one of the first Hammerdins to 99 in CD2. Was my favorite build to play, and then everyone was doing it with the duped Enigma shit in LoD.
No one else have this issue? Everything seems fine now but it kind of sucks I had to re do the first 30 minutes.
I think the idea is that every class profits from every stat (int gives all resist).
The thing is that in PC diablo 3 you can roll a quiver with 200int and no dex which doesnt make sense.
In the console Version at the very least you will roll dex and only get int as a additional affix which makes more sense but is still kinda useless since the effect of int on all resist is kinda neglectable...

I played this for about 4 hours today and am really pleasantly surprised at how good the console port is. It plays VERY well, runs smoothly, looks good, loads quickly, and has a smart interface. Despite playing a ton of D1/D2 back in the day, I'm now a lazy old man who pretty much is console-only at this point so D3 was totally off my radar. I rented it from Redbox on a whim when I couldn't find Rayman Legends anywhere around me and I'm loving my monk playthrough. He's so fast and having evade on the stick feels great.
I'm not sure how much more time I'll have to put into it, but it's firmly on my radar to pick up when there's a good sale. Well done, Blizzard!

DROP HACK!
If it does im guessing it wont be out till the end of 2014.
Dat Cindercoat holy shit!
That is one of those Legendaries that you basically used to sigh every time it dropped.
You don't have lifesteal/life on hit so you probably can't do high level Inferno yet but once you have a bit more AR and a life steal weapon you will tear up all the way to Master III.

Yeah, Master I Inferno is going pretty well, Master II would probably be pretty dicey right now. I just now got a pair of Depth Diggers from a Treasure Goblin that's a dps upgrade and also has +58 fire resist and +83 all resist sooooo that's a good step in that direction lol.

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?
Oh I know. Also, Blessed Hammer is confirmed with the new class in Reaper of SoulsThe only way I would ever consider coming back to this game is if I see this.

Found my first Ledendary Item.
Leonic's Crown. Cool. ^_^

It probably rolled int/dex as one of its affixes after the main dex roll. They do restrict class items to more useful stats now I think.
