There are no 'normal' card parks. Normal cards are all the base unlockable cards that cannot be obtained in packs.
Expert packs contain 'expert' cards, which are 'Common' rarity and higher, that cannot be unlocked in game.

I have no problems with the BoA system, but I'm also not someone who is going to go around trading now that AH is gone.
Totally agree. I think the game is great where it is right now and I'd much prefer they kept trading out of it. Giving people "outs" to get a piece of gear takes the adventure out of the game imo. It's what ruined D3 1.0. Now that items are 'mostly' for your class there's really no excuse to dick with the system.
Fuuuu
Yeah for 3 expert packs. Maybe they'll have a good resell value since they're codes
Holy shit those set piece bonus'. I wonder if the 4 piece stacks with the 3 wolf cloak...

Can someone link the listed set/legendaries for RoS? Sorry, too lazy to skim the thread!

I tend to agree. And the clan feed of legs being found serve as quite the carrot on a stick.
Alex has looted: [Diabo]
Clan: LOLOLOL sorry bro
JoeSchmo has looted: [Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker]
Clan: Oh shit son, congrats
"Maybe today will be the day I find a Thunderfury..."

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?
YES!!!!

Blizzzzzzz come onnnnn i need my RoSDrugs right nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
I know that feel. Still waiting for my Krindershot to drop. I've gotten a windforce, a hellrack and some other 2h legendary xbow but no kridershot
I hope Blizzard has some surprises in store.

I have to agree 2.0 indeed does feel like a relaunch. The fun is back, and I can enjoy playing without feeling like Blizzard is trying to extract money and time from rather than I choosing to do so. I'm glad the AH is gone and the loot design philosophy changed, the game is already better for it IMO.

one day we too will have our time in the sun. and the clan chat will make us feel all good inside.
Which would give us: Loot Buyers Club.
I have to admit there's a part of me that wants some form of trading besides what we have now, but it does seem that just about every idea could be exploited by bots/farmers. But as someone that was playing a lot both before and after patch 2.0 dropped, I can say this; there's one FUCKING AMAZING (undocumented, not really talked about much) new hidden feature of the patch.... and it's this: Suddenly, as of the day the patch dropped, I immediately stopped getting fucking bombarded with 20+ friend requests from "pvpbank#xxxx" every goddamn time I log on. And so for that, I am totally fine with BOA.
I was never a huge fan of D2's trading to be honest, because SOJs became sort of the defacto currency, and even when you started non-stop running for loot they could be extremely hard to find. I probably played over 1000 hours of D2, and granted I wasn't loot running most of that time, but in all that, I think I got 1 or maybe 2 legit SOJ drops and none ever from Gheed. RNG gonna RNG. I'm satisfied with the D3 Loot 2.0 drop rate, I have a ton of fun with the game, and if they can keep the third party resellers out, I'm fine with it.

Looks like the packs cost about $1.50 each if purchased. People can only redeem 5 codes on one account, so that limits the potential for buying them en masse.
Here's that blue post: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/12031313390?page=3#47
Relevant bit: "We plan on moving the Bonus Legendary to Malthael for players level 61+ when the expansion arrives. Additionally, Diablo will no longer drop a Bonus Legendary for players level 61+"
Go and buy a new computer too.

This is some 1%er shit right here. You already have a Kridershot, and you're pretending to be one of the many who don't.
Boo.this.man.

Been desperately wanting a Thunderfury for my wiz. Last night I see a leg 1H sword drop and got so excited. Turned out to be a Fulminator. Still a nice DPS boost and happy to have it.
Loot 2.0 problems.

The digital deluxe has all the same in-game stuff. CE is only worthwhile if the physical goods are worth it for you.
I'm trying to justify the digital deluxe to myself but I don't play WoW (anymore) or SC. So it seems like all I get is a minion, extra slots (which is nice), and some Hearthstone packs.
Decisions.....
Want to talk about mad?
How about being stuck living in a trailer with no hot water for 2 weeks as we're between house moves, chasing down dogs through 4 feet of snow for 2 hours at midnight because they've escaped from their kennel, then trying to drive to work at 5 the next morning and not being able to go any faster than about 10 km/h due to whiteout blizzard conditions, while trying to avoid semi's who insist on driving right down the middle of the center line and absolutely refuse to move over to their own side of the highway...
[/endrant]
You asked us to decide how to spend your money. Just thought I'd have you buy a new pc to enjoy as well. Cheers.
Well I got an INT roll on mine and I'm a Monk
How did that happen AND a Fulinator that rolled Strength? I got super trolled. By the looks of it I will be rolling a Wiz for ROS and using it him too. It's still an upgrade for me until I get the right one..Found a Thunderfury and Valthek's Rebuke last night on my wiz but I'm looking for Frostburn Gauntlets and Winter Flurry.
Getting specific legendaries is going to be tough with no trading so hopefully I'll have fun in
the loot hunt until then.

This would be abused a ton. They would have to add more caveats like "must have been on friend's list for at least 30 days" and "can only give X number of legendaries per X period of time", etc. It would just become silly.
On another note...

RE: BOA - it stinks. I've probably played more than anyone here and more than anyone I know and I have found exactly 1 "game changing" legendary...and its not that good. Its the amulet that gives you immunity to arcane damage. Sounds good in theory...but the reality is that the elites will CC you off any arcane beams or whatever half the time so you can't really take full advantage.
With BOA, there is always someone who is going to get screwed. That someone is usually me.

As excited as I already am about RoS I still don't quite get the appeal of Adventure Mode. Once you've already cleared the main story, how is it any different from hopping around the acts and running into elites and doing chest events that you can do now? I know about the bounties and bounty-specific loot but is there more to the mode than that?

You think that's bad? I had this ridiculous thing drop:
Infinite Shield throwing? Cray-Cray
You don't have to start separate games to do it for one.

If you've only found one and have played a lot like you said you have crappy luck. I've found 4 or 5 build-defining/changing legendaries. Not just little gimmicky changes, but huge mods that you create your entire build around.
Holy mackerel I didn't know Crusader legs were dropping already

I'm not surprised. Everyone I know has found good stuff. I've gone from paragon 189 to 382 since the patch and that's the only item I found that I would classify as build-defining/game changing. Everything else I've found are glorified rares. I know these items exist in the game, but I'm not getting them.

Dang that's crazy, I've only went from like paragon 85 to 120 so you've played a lot more.
Nephalim Rifts are where it's at for me. I'm so excited about that. Probably my favorite part of the expansion.

It's a bit embarassing on Blizzard's side that 2H legendaries are going to be useless until RoS comes out, especially since they seem to be 50% of the drops I'm getting. A lot of the other legendaries just seem to be rares with a different colour and slightly higher stats, not very impressed.
I'm okay with BOA, but I'd like to see more legendaries drop. I like playing D3, but so far the required time investment for getting cool gear seems a bit on the high side.

If it's as I've read:
You don't have to listen to fucking Azmodan or Diablo tell you how they don't even need what you just destroyed. ARROGANT NEPHALEM
You don't have to constantly restart games.
I don't have to hear about how Jondar was a templar once.
It promotes going to areas you normally wouldn't do
I don't have to raise the catapults
The rifts provide new enemy combinations
I don't have to find Kulle's elbow bone again
I don't have to keep skipping cutscenes
The best way to play the game won't be some CoTA/Royal Audience level of bullshit, and be actually just choosing what act I like best and doing a bunch of bounties all over.
