What are Bounties?
Bounties are set tasks. For example, locate and kill a Superunique or Boss monster or complete an event or clear a dungeon and be rewarded with Experience, Gold and possibly a Rift Keystone. You access a Bounty by using the Waypoint map and selecting a waypoint marked with an exclamation mark (!) or Diablo's skull icon (indicating boss or quest boss).

- There are 25 random bounties per game, 5 per act.
- Known Bounty types are "Complete an Event", "Clear a Dungeon" and "Kill monster/boss".
- You need to complete Campaign mode to access Adventure mode and Bounties.
- There is no difficulty mode such as normal, nightmare etc. The difficulty is scaled to your character level. It's unknown what happens in multiplayer games. It could take the average character level or just the level of the person who created the game.
- Rewards for completing Bounties can sometimes be a Rift Keystone which are used to open Nephalem Rifts.
- Bounties are not repeatable in the same game. You need to leave and begin a new game to refresh the bounties available.

What are Rifts?
- Nephalem Rifts (formerly known as Loot Runs) are a special type of game within Diablo 3, designed to provide an intense challenge and fast paced action over a 10-15 minute dungeon crawl. They are reminiscent of boss runs from Diablo 2, but will take place in special dungeons with fully-randomized enemies in special dungeons, and will therefore play unlike any of the normal Act game content. Even the end bosses are randomized and unpredictable.
- Nephalem Rifts are enabled by finding Nephalem Rift Keys, which are taken to a special NPC in town. Players may choose to explore multiple Nephalem Rifts in the same game, likely after getting stacked up, but will need to turn in a Loot Run Key for each one, and as with the three portals to the Realms of the Infernal Machine event, only one Loot Portal can be active at a time.

What does this mean?!
- It's simple. In Diablo III: Reaper of Souls, enemies now scale with your level. With the addition of 10 more levels (60-70), enemies are now going to be even tougher then before - but so are you! Enjoy the crazy numbers that you and your friends will be dealing, but be aware that your enemies will be hitting you for crazy as well!

I was reading that! Why would you mspaint that shit?!

[Into]

Good OT, its the one we deserve, its very "90s"

 

[th3dude]

Is there somewhere where I can read about:

- What to buy/sell/stockpile before AH goes down/RoS comes out

For example, I have 200+ Iridecent Tears and 200+ Exquisite Essence. Should I sell these on the Gold AH or RMAH or keep them? Also lots of Gems.

 

[Smooth Operator]

Best thread ever created on GAF, i love you Yoshi

 

[maniac-kun]

Well done OT.

 

[Yoshichan]

God damn it

 

[antitrop]

Well, that's an OT alright. Good job, Yoshi.

 

[Killer]

patch 2.0 is sooo gooooood!!

Quick question, if i buy the physical copy, can i download the game using the cd key? i'm on a mac and don't have a dvd drive.

 

[Wallach]

Great OP, worthy first post. We're in there.

 

[Nokterian]

Sell, sell, sell! There will be new materials for post 60 crafting, and that stuff is easy to get if you need to do some pre 60 crafting. Sell your gems too, same reason.

Sell that shit. RoS will have new tier of crafting mats and gems.

 

[ChoklitCow]

I lost my shit at "Fuck that loser."

Bought the physical edition, so I won't be joining you all until the morning

 

[th3dude]

Gold or real money? Is anyone still buying with real money or should I just stockpile gold?

You could with D3 and the last two Starcrafts once it is linked to your b.net account.

 

[Robin64]

I hear Shadow Clones are serious business. LIKE THIS OP.

Good work man!

 

[fluffydelusions]

That OT. Based yoshi

 

[Killer]

good to know. thanks.

 

[Teasing_Pink]

I tried selling my crafting stuff for cash, got no bites. I'd just do gold at this point. You'll need loads for the mystic. Unless you really need to try and get five bucks to ward off a leg breaking bookie or something.

 

[Ricerocket]

Interesting OT... LOL.

 

[Granadier]

THIS THREAD.


GLORIOUS!!

Edit: LOOK, MORE HIDDEN SHADOW CLONES

Edit2: HOLY FUCK THE CRUSADER INFO.

Day 1

 

[dragonelite]

Can't wait i will be so tired next day at internship

 

[squidyj]

I just sold a triumvirate woo, on my way to financing dat RoS

 

[Nete]

Awesome OT. Those GIFs :_)


Also, this is wrong:

You do not need to complete Campaign mode to access Adventure mode and Bounties.

You need to complete Campaign mode once to access Adventure mode and Bounties. Complete it with one char and you will have it for any other.

 

[Lashley]

Great OT.

Can I ask, what was so hated about the game originally and what is different now?

 

[Yoshichan]

Edited! Thanks!

 

[IllumiNate]

Looks like Blizzard are back in form, excited for this expac.

 

[Mrbob]

I'm so ready for this. Been playing a bunch since 2.0 hit. I bought the regular version through Blizzard but now I might have to upgrade to the Digital Deluxe after being convinced by the OP! Only one thing missing so far and that is ladder talk.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Well that's an interesting OT.

*Sets up lawn chair*

Now, where the white women at?

 

[Levyne]

I know basically nothing about this game, but that OT is amazing. NIce job!

 

[Instro]

Looking forward to adventure mode very much. Game is so much better since the 2.0 patch, I can only hope it continues to improve.

 

[TheNamelessOne]

Here we go.

 

[xero273]

come on give me that thunderfury and full inna's set before RoS!

 

[Deputy Dangle]

I am very much ready for this. After a long ass time of playing off and on, I finally got my Barb to level 60, and I'm eager to try out a new class with RoS.

 

[molnizzle]

I just wish there was controller support, I'd switch back to PC version in a heartbeat.

Damn it, Blizz.

 

[Granadier]

Well that's an interesting OT.

*Sets up lawn chair*

Now, where the white women at?

Act 2

 

[Mayyhem]

HYPE! Can't wait to hopefully put another 300 hours into D3

 

[fluffydelusions]

I just wish there was controller support, I'd switch back to PC version in a heartbeat.

Damn it, Blizz.

Won't happen. No controller support because PC version has larger mob density.

 

[Fenderputty]

New thread? New thread. Well done.

 

[kirblar]

Great OT.

Can I ask, what was so hated about the game originally and what is different now?

The Auction House literally warped every single aspect of loot design around it, causing the game to devolve into grinding gold to buy gear instead of killing monsters. Due to the presence of the AH, actual good drops were made scarce, and you'd have a ton of useless crap. Now, with the AH being removed, there's still a ton of crap but you'll also get many more drops that you can actually use. (And the crap is used for crafting.)

This is basically Yoshi's thread, so:

I like this! Any other takers on the OT name?

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Hell yeah, can't wait for my LE to arrive.
