Loot lovers, I'm contemplating picking this up for PS3 instead of waiting for the 8/19 xpack bundle. Would I be missing anything besides the new act and class? Did the original version get the loot 2.0 patch and all the other non-content additions that will come with the RoS release on PS3?

Better off waiting for the PS3 RoS release since it also inludes Diablo 3 and is only 40 bucks.

Yeah the game does seem pretty dead at the moment. I uninstalled because I've hit a wall that I don't care to pass at the moment (on 3 characters I want between 1 and 3 specific items). Plus there isn't the same amount of activity to keep it exciting.
I've had my fill. Gonna wait for tiered rifts and apparently a lot of items are getting effects in 2.1 plus the injection of seasonal items, should make things a bit more interesting. The lack of anything to do or anything to look for outside of a couple of items is exhausting. There isn't the sensation of just stumbling across something that didn't cross your mind that's awesome once you get to a certain gear tier. Nothing to loot in a loot game is a damn shame.

Toasty pls.. who will I play with now??
I played for the last week up until yesterday and didn't see you once!
Yeah but playing the game is way more fun.
Take a step back and think about what you're doing when you have your cursor hovered over chat trying to request invites for 3 hours straight to pull the lever on some shitty slot machine over and over.

Yeah ... Running is where it's at.
I've got my HC WD up to about 7.5 million toughness. I'm thinking T2 is totally doable, but my damage is kinda meh.
What's so special about a Skycutter? I blow those things up all the time.
It rolls %Holy damage
^^^
I guess I could craft a Hallowed weapon while I wait for a Skycutter to drop. I want that angel proc.
Oh, ok. I must be thinking of something else then.. Sky Splitter? The axe that shoots out Smite. That thing seems useless.

That sounds awful. I was waiting for, "Don't worry, we're significantly improving the hatred gained by generators/innate regen." Should have started off with something nice at least to disarm people. wtf blizz lol

With the right gear and cycling you can shoot 30+ Cluster Arrows. I saw a video of a dude doing it non-stop for a couple minutes, can't seem to remember what was called though.

bitch I'm taking calls.
Does no one play new heroes on this game anymore? I re-installed Diablo 3 for the first time since beating it when it first came out with a level 35 Demon Hunter. So it's been 2 years. I've been playing a new wizard the last couple of nights.
Every time I play the server ends up creating a game for me and no one ever joins and I see maybe 1 message every few hours in the general chat. Is the population of people playing that low, or am I being locked out of playing with other people because I haven't bought Reaper of Souls?

That is a pretty big nerf to non-maurader 6 piece DHs. Terrible change really. Discipline has largely been useless as a defensive spender.
Kind of annoying that they simply nerf the most popular build rather than buffing the other spenders to be more viable.

Not stoked with that change. I didn't use it as often with sentries, but it's pretty crucial at times. Who knows though...
I'm thinking that's kind of a warning shot IMO. Sounds like they're going to blow up a lot of current builds.

Dex gives armor and STI will be redesigned. Cool. Maybe that'll free up a passive slot.

It says rifts are gonna be reduced to one fragment to open but everyone entering has to pay up. Pretty good change
These are also interesting
I hope LOH becomes a secondary then. There's pretty much no wiggle room anywhere at the moment

After all this time de-prioritizing LoH and health regen (for good reason.. 1k life per hit when you have 300k hp? pretty useless) on all our end game gear, now they're reworking it - not just buffing LoH but NERFING life globes.
Why couldn't they leave life globes alone and then at least the current gear would still be effective for most content? I guess too much healing. Still. Big kick in the pants. Going to have to re-evaluate and replace a lot of our existing gear to survive, probably at a detriment to our other stats if it isn't made a secondary like you're suggesting (which I think is a great idea).

This is huge and frees up a passive.
The LoH crap could be good or just more meh. It might require more re-gearing and the loss of a damage slot on a piece, but on the flip side it could be not useless ... Finally
Agreed. What primary slot am I going to give up for LoH? CC? CHD? Primary stat? Elemental bonus?
If it's sufficiently buffed yet still primary, I might give up one or maybe two slots for it. I can't see going over that.
I'm glad I farmed up a ton of keys during the double key buff.
They've done this before. It's standard procedure. Now you have incentive to grind out gear again, and to get addicted again.
I really don't think it's a big deal. It's a good change. Plus if you're playing ladder then you don't have to worry about "regearing".

So far I like the greater rifts and legendary gem upgrades through them. Leaderboards or Conquest (seasonal achievements) I just don't care about.
I like that dying will REALLY set you back on time since you have to run back. Very risky for jade WD, very safe for pet WD with rhenho and addling frogs.
Yeah, the leaderboards and "Conquest" junk is poopsock bait, 24 hour pass-off account all day all play never not playing stuff, especially as Conquests are limited to only the first 1000 players to achieve them. Anyone with even half a life should not care about the leaderboards.
Would like to hear more about legendary gems. What kinds of stats. What kind of unique skills/abilities.

I'm curious how greater rifts will work in HC. Just simply avoid?
Things that interest me:
- Greater rifts
- Legendary gems
- Dex to armor change
- Friend/clan leaderboards (general public leaderboards who cares imo..)
- New items once seasons are done
Things that annoy me:
- DH prep/punishment change
- life on hit change (unless it becomes a secondary)
- New items are tied to seasons
Things I don't care about:
- Seasons
- General public ladders/leaderboards
- Conquests
All in all, sounds like a good content patch. Might have some more hooks to keep playing. I really wish they'd introduce new items outside of seasons though.

I'm excited. My DH is my "main" alt and I actually like the sounds of the punishment change.
Unless you're a bad enough dude.
Works for me.
Sorry, didn't see your post.
It's probably because you don't have RoS. The expansion is really good, so most people picked it up.
To put that in perspective, five items with 150-160 of a different resist would yield 330-352 AR off the secondary slot vs 450-500 AR off the primary slot. And, well, pre-patch would have been 750 - 800 AR. On the bright side, baseline gaining 5000-6000 Armor over current STI use.
To be fair, 2.1.0 has been in the works forever so it's a more interesting subject.
Besides that, there's practically nobody in the low levels so that's part of it. Is your game locked to invite only? Could be why nobody randomly joins. Or, again, very few people actually do anything at the low levels since it's easier to just get powerleveled through or to do it via Adventure Mode (which you don't have access to, I believe).
Technically speaking, it just means you're back to gearing All Resist :x Unless gearing Armor / Life Regen / Life on Hit + different secondary resists + Harmony ends up being better, I guess.
