I honestly couldn't give less fucks about seasons, I played S2 and having to restart every time is such a chore, esp the level 1 -> T6 grind

While I agree, seasons splinters off enough players that it becomes worth it for me. S1 and S2 I had virtually nobody to play with online. S3 I played with my friends again.

Perma CC is maybe stupid, but so is gameplay where you have to kite packs around the map while slowly chipping their HP down because if even one of them hit you it means your corpse is next thing flying in the air. If they have found good balance between the two extremes cool, but if they have overdone CC nerfs then T6+ will be utter pain to do with some classes.

Have you even played on the PTR? Every single class can trivialize T10, and only when pushing greater rifts higher than 65 do things become a pain, but that would happen with or without the CC nerfs (which were necessary).

You also know that PTR usually has insanely increased drop rates and such to get characters decked out fast? Your power progression curve won't be as steep in Live and CC nerfs may actually affect your experience <=T10 negatively.

Also if you read my earlier comments you would know I didn't play PTR or really follow it, just read and heard some impressions from people.

That doesn't matter in the slightest. T10 is the equivalent of a GR45 which was easy for every class even in Season 3. Add in the cube and the enemy damage nerfs and it won't take anywhere near top end equipment to be able to do T10 even with some CC nerfs. I have no doubt that I will be T10 capable within a week of Season 4 starting.

Pretty much lol, been saying this for a while but I guess some people need to see it with their own eyes first. T10 was already easily doable for every class in S3 and they are nerfing so many damage related things that it should just make it that much easier to dive into. The biggest thing is probably them "significantly" nerfing mob damage in GRs 25+ but there is a lot of other minor things that will help like jailer nerfs + bosses no longer being able to shoot spread projectiles on melee with little warning.

T6 is a joke these days. T10 will probably be a joke to people who can't even crack GR35 in S3. T10 with my imported wizard which I had since vanilla and has done GR45+ can handle T10 with some care, but is still fairly straightfoward. I mean I set it to T9 just to make farming even faster.

It's really annoying having to put all the crafting mats into the cube, are there any tips to speed up Legendary power extraction? I vaguely recall reading someone mentioning a tip about this on r/diablo during the PTR.

You don't have to use the precise number. Just keep your six mats in a block in your inventory, then right click them all and your item into the cube. It'll only consume the required amount.

At one point, it would leave the mats in the cube afterward (saved a bunch of clicking), but they removed that for some reason.

Wait, my existing (greater) keystones will be converted to, what, exactly?

Generic GR keystones which you can use to open any level GR.
 
They really need to give a chest per character in the next "big" patch and one shared chest...
It's hell if you like playing more than two classes
 
i havent gotten an update yet

is EU behind as usual?

yeah fuck europe as always

Could any mod in the D3 community help me out?

I play with a group of 3 other people and 3 of us are in the clan, our 4th guy has applied to Gaf and not been activated on here yet. His Gaf name is Vanzir, do you think if a mod reads this today they could activate him so that we can get him in the clan while there is an opening?

I'll add his bnet battle tag when I get home, I don't have it with me at the moment.

wow man i am sad... its almost too much hassle to get those mats.. :*(

WHY blizzard why are you gonna make me play act 4 again.... their should have been something like trade in 3 of say act 1 for act 4... I usually only ever did act 1 and 2 caches... this way people could farm their fav acts and not make them play others...

Only had enough time during my lunch break to clear out the new area, grab the cube, and try out a couple of recipes. Pretty cool addition. Looking forward to doing the bounties again to get some crafting recipes and cool shit to put in the cube.

Well this is unfortunate, thought I had a spare Calamity sitting in inventory.

Is there a list of the best legs to extract? Calamity, Furnace, what else?
 
The worst part about that gap in between one season ending and one starting is trying to get your stash in order.

I spent over an hour doing just this last night. 5 tabs is not enough unless you play two character types. If you toy around with 4 or more you're going to have cramped space.

When Opiate played a ton I asked him to approve Raticus. Any mods still play this?

Junior, was Vanzir the guy who was denied? I got one of your friends expedited, but I believe Vanzir needed to sign up with a different email.
 
I usually played the new seasons and quite intensely so. Not this time around. If Blizzard made a lot of quality of life changes concerning stash, collection and use of legendary gems and so on and so forth, sure. But I just cannot be bothered to go through this initial phase again of collection a quadrillion legendary gems, leveling a bunch of them up to something useful etc. Don't wanna invest as much time anyways, so I'll just try to give this HotA Barb build a try since I've got a quite well rolled ancient weapon for it and try to see how far I get in GRs. Same with DH.

Oh since I'm also mostly a solo player I'm also just too annoyed at the ridiculously large experience bonus for group playing. That and more stash space is so indefensibly stupid on Blizzard's side :/

Yes he ended up signing up with a different email which was approved, he's just waiting for activation.

His battle tag is Vanz#1302

Can someone add me to the Main NeoGAF clan? I'm guessing there is more room in main one now and the spill over clan is pretty much dead. My Battle.net ID is KarmaCow#1953

I also thought the king was supposed to do something, but I think it's just there as a cool little set piece. Possibly for a bounty also? No idea.

Those portals can spawn from any goblin kill you do in the world, but are quite rare occurance. With that new Cube you apparently can open portal into that realm if you use Puzzle Ring with that cube.
