They are not shared and will never be, according to Blizzard. I.e. you'd start from scratch on PS4. Too bad as I'd double-dip if I could share my account characters on both platforms.
YEP! HYYYYYPEEEE!
I hate you Europe.

Hey, feel free to use Europe to get an early glimpse at Crusader. I'll be using Asia for that very reason.
Awww man. And still not release date until PAX (Maybe?)
Oh well. Back to the waiting game

The gif that keeps on gifing.
Yeah, it sucks to be honest. Would love to be able to couch game D3 with my current characters. :/
There's no difference in functionality anymore. Originally, you had to have the appropriate version for a difficulty to enter Whimsyshire. To enter in Hell, you needed a Hellish or Infernal staff. To upgrade your staff, you had to be in Act IV on the appropriate difficulty to buy the new plan.
Now there's just the normal plan and all versions work all the time due to the dynamic difficulty feature. So, the other versions are kind of collectible.
With the old difficulty system you needed a different staff for each difficulty. Now you can just use any so there is no difference besides the name of it.Seems many professors/teachers are also craving act 5 goodness tomorrow!
What are the difference between the staff and why is one preferred to the other? I never bothered with those before.
Honestly is just never going to happen. Platform holders don't like that kind of thing. There is also the issue of the balance differences between pc and console versions which could lead to items having stats built for one version of the game but not the other.
Playing the game.

Level 1 characters makes a T6 game, friend comes in and flattens all.
It will be interesting to see how the difficulty of the new act scales up. Because I know starting off, if its like it is now, anything below t4 is going to be way too easy. Curious to see how long that lasts before I start bumping it way down.
Whats everyone plan to start on difficulty wise?

So I'm guessing we probably shouldn't kill Diablo on Torment+ tonight, seeing how mobs will get so much more powerful at 61+.
I'll probably move it down to Master to start with. I can comfortably do Torment, but I'm expecting that gear upgrades won't come as fast as monster power increases as levels are gained.
You can drop the difficulty in game if you need to.
Run through on T1 to get a feel for the areas and mobs, then take it up a level or two to farm EXP until I hit 70, and then probably back down to T1 for farming legendaries (I'll farm paragon EXP later once I've got decent 70 gear)
That being said taking the game on any torment level all the way through to 70 is going to be very reliant on gear drops.
I was going to say, you can't take Torment down to Master. But I just checked and you're right. Well then, no point in not going Torment!

yeah other than me moving my computer a few inches or so its not moved an inch, but I did change all cables and had two in my router I didn't use soo... I will look into getting an wifi adapter, this computer is pushing 5 years, the card also lol. it was like 1700 and now I can get a $1000 and its like 5 times better lol.
I hope torment will be available, I want SOME chance at dying through Act 5.
It can't, for the people who stick with vanilla.
If the servers work tomorrow, I am totally skipping basketball. Or I'm going into work early so that I can get a few hours of CRUSADIN' beforehand.
The latter is the far more likely scenario.
Yup, which is why my DH is starting to struggle as I'm at the end of act II in master difficulty. I still have a level 25 quiver and didn't have any luck in upgrading it lol.
The bump in monster power at level 50 is too much for my mediocre gear. I'm guessing the same will happen in torment difficulty, although with strong gear I'm sure it's possible to keep leveling in torment I or II.KINGofCRA5H

I reset quest the other day and am still in act 2. I hope it wont be a problem getting into act 5 because I wont have time to make it all the way to diablo to kill him.
It probably will stop you from going to act 5 right away. If it doesn't let you skip to act 3, why would it let you skip to act 5?
Probably. I don't want anyone skipping my cut scenes by accident/on purpose.

That doesn't sound good.
So 9PM Cali time? Do we start waiting outside diablos fight at around 8:45 and then enter at 9?
Are you guys doing act V solo?

You'll need to either get to Diablo and kill him, or join someone else who is going into Act V. You won't be able to do it alone unless you play through Acts II, III and IV.
Pop it on normal and skip dialog and cutscenes. Should take around 2-3 hours to finish.

It's in the Social part of the Options. Just a tick box.

Been getting back into the game recently because I wanted to see how it's changed. I'm reasonably excited but some of the changes just piss me off.
Removing life steal? Arg. That's a fun stat to have.
Reducing arcane on crit? WTF. I think they just want to slow the game down and make it more boring. I don't get it.

You rock, thanks!
They already explained why they're reducing arcane on crit. It makes arcane power not matter much as a resource.

I'm going to rock this extension with my monk then I'll level my wiz from 60 to 70 and then try out crusader. Eventually I will level my wd too.
I won't bother to touch my barb and dh for now. I just can't play these class. Maybe some of the new legendaries and build will make me change my mind but dh alway felt too much I a glass canon and I never had fun playing barb at level 60.

Pretty much, or with a good friend of mine. I want to take my time with it and soak it all in because I'll probably only do it once.
I'd be worried people would skip stuff if I opened to public

as long as I haven't reset quests and I can still start Prime Evil I should be able to jump into Act V right? or will I need to just start on the last checkpoint and go from there?

You'll be good to go. Act V will appear when the RoS notice is broadcast.
Though Blizz are suggesting that the best way to do it is to plan it so you are killing Diablo just after the RoS launch hits. Then you'll transition into Act V naturally.

I will for the first time at least. Just so I don't miss anything and can take my time.
I'm excited just to have a new act to play in. I don't like 2 or 4 so I usually avoid playing them.
Should work out nicely. I started a new playthrough on Torment 3 and just started Act 4 last night. Should finish it up just in time for RoS.

alright thanks for the info!
I'll be home around 4pm EST (EDT) if you want to go through it. I have plenty of time to spend helping.
If you're on the AMER servers of course.- Status
