yeah, I also just stop moving when you hear that horn.. fuck that guy
I had no idea there was a horn sound warning that a nemesis was incoming. I need to play with my sound higher.
I do apologize, yes that does also matter for the individual cache. The higher the level that the cache was farmed on, the higher chance for legendaries in the cache.

Yeah - comes through the DS4 pad too I think.
I quickly retreat to an area I've previously cleared when I hear it.

The controller also vibrates from low to stronger and stronger before he pops out.
Just wanted to say thank you to who ever mentioned in this thread that if you hit right on the d-pad you can warp back to town without losing any sort of progress. I had no idea. That makes things so much easier for me. I'm loving this game very much! Level 30 wizard, been playing every evening since it launched on ps4.
Is Diablo 3 worth the money? I mean it's almost $100 here in the UK. I know of the possibility to buy from the US store, but doesn't that limit me to play on US servers?
Also I'm on a tight budget gaming wise, and I was thinking that I could get TLOU:R and Metro Redux for £50 while Diablo 3 would cost me £50 alone.
I need help GAF!! Give me thy wisdom!

If you're looking for a game that gives you bang for you buck you can't go wrong with Diablo 3.
You will play through the story, then farm adventure mode for countless hours. And that's if you just make 1 character.
Also there's loads of gaffers playing if you add your name to the friend list doc from the other thread.
Just buy it.
Thanks, that's good to know, makes farming the Grandeur ring easier for me.
PS: I have a + Strength Royal Ring of Grandeur, I'm looking to trade for one with Intellect. anyone? I can't enchant it to Intellect on mine because I've already enchanted another attribute.

Love the TP function
Makes getting rid of junk so easy
Do I need to have the Followers actually following me to
do their quests
The game is tons of fun and has a lot of replayability. It's worth every penny in my opinion. I bought the first one on PS3, bought it on PC and now on PS4 and don't regret it. If you buy it on the US store you can still choose which region to play multiplayer on, so that's not an issue.
The loot is random. Sometimes you won't get any legendaries for hours, and sometimes it will rain legendaries left and right.

Not true, there's a fail safe system where you're absolutely going to get at least one legendary an hour. At least on PC.
I don't know exactly what you're asking, but I think no? I ran with the Templar the entire game and still do to this day.
I've gone 3 hours without a legendary on PC. Pretty sure the fail-safe is like 3.5 - 4 hours, unless they changed it recently.
I haven't seen any confirmations of that. That seems more like a myth than fact. I played for over two hours the other day and didn't get a single legendary, so even if that was the case on PC, it's not the same on console based on my experience.

ive heard the complete opposite on this. Ive heard it doesnt matter for the cache which is why everyone farms bounties on normal, then moves to T1/T2 for rifts to get legendaries...

I'm streaming levelling my hardcore Crusader if anyone wants to watch. Playing on hard almost lvl 30 NaughtyPrawn
I feel I could up the difficulty by one cause I'm tearing through white mobs but I've had a few really tough run ins with elite mobs.

Nah it's pretty much developer-confirmed if I'm not mistaken.
It's still rather a question of how quickly you can do Torment runs in comparison to normal ones.
I might bite, I've calculated that if I get it on the US store and get Metro Redux I'm still in my targeted budget.
You mentioned there's a friend list doc? Would like to join that as I have no friends on PSN (Eastern Europe syndrome) lol.

so if im farming to get that Ring in Act 1, should i be doing it on Normal, or T1 (which im currently playing it) - the ring you get from the horadric caches or whatever. Which will give me the better chance of getting the legendary (which to my understanding, doesnt drop within the Game, but only from the cache itself)

This.
Yesterday i played many hours and found 2 legendaries. Today i played two hours and got 6.
It's arguable. Quality vs quantity really, you can spend more time farming a better quality cache with a higher chance or you can get more opportunities by opening more lower chance caches. I'd say solo I'd run higher torments personally.
Edit: that being said, I have opened around 10 torment 2 caches and havnt gotten a ring.

You just have to do one of the main bosses like Belial or Diablo. They almost always drop legendarys.
During the normal game it really is random and as far as I've seen there is no way to change that. Almost during the entire 3rd act I had no good drops and then within the last hour of the act I basically exchanged my whole gear.

if it helps I'm a UK gaffer who bought from the US store and is playing perfectly fine on my UK id
I read a response by I believe a dev in the official forums that said you have a much better chance at good stuff at T2+.

great drops. terrible rolls.
That was my greatest worry really. Thanks mate.
The failsafe system does not work exclusively by time spent between drops.
Can confirm though that such a system does exist which makes a legendary drop a guarantee eventually.
It takes into account different play sessions as well so it's not reset each time a new game is started.

Same. I haven't had a single Legendary drop from a cache. I do get lots during runs, tho.

hmmm Is this game worth playing solo? Just single player? (p.s.Never played a diablo game)
This game! This game just keeps on delivering. So excited... just found the most amazing Rift. Don't read if you don't want to spoil late game content but all I'm gonna say is:
UNICORNS, CUDDLY BEARS, FLOWERS & CUPCAKES
Anyone else seen this?!
I was like OMG
There is a 'staff of herding' that allows you to enter a map with all that.
My favorite, it has happened to me only once and no one believed me in game chat but i don't give a fuck, it's 100% truth:
I once entered a room in a rift with about 20 loot gobbos, i AoEd and slaughtered them all only to get no legendary, but man it was a spectacle.
I wouldn't say yes but the game play is fun enough I'd think so. The story isn't amazing or anything but group play is mostly where the fun is at. That being said I have been playing solo for I'd say 85% of my total playtime.

Had my first Nemesis encounter last night. Was caught by surprise and suffered my first death. Didn't realize there was a horn sound, I'll be paying more attention from now on.

Speaking of which they should totally let you go to the gem lady and let you socket stuff without having to go to your stash, take stuff out, then craft, then put it back etc.
Man, I keep missing the Nemesis Horn sound due to having my Effects volume turned way down, because of the absurd volume level of Character Attacks. They're a huge push over on Normal though and just fall over and die. Have only been playing on that due to starting a fresh Crusader out and wanting to just get the story my first time through on my PS4 version (I'm at Pandemonium now).
I had played through to the end of Inferno on the original PC release with a group of friends and we just blitzed through it all and I never went back and took in the story. I've been listening to all the dialog and trying to get all the journals and soak it all in this time. I've even been making sure to hear all the random little NPC conversations around the hub areas. There's really a ton of detail in it all and that adds immensely to the flavor of the game and draws you into the world.
Not sure how much I'll get into grinding since I did a ton of it on the PC way back when it first came out, but I sure am loving going through it again and taking my time on it instead of burning through it like I did. Helps that it feels like a completely different game (and really is with all the changes that have happened since I only played right at the original vanilla PC release).
And god, it's SO much more relaxing to play this game with a controller. It just feels so right.

Maybe it has something to do with the difficulties? I think I got a legendary from every yellow labeled enemy and most of the blue ones while playing on Expert. Then I hit lvl60 or something and changed to Master when it became available and absolutely no Legendary drops! When facing

Where do I find my legendary gift from Blizzard?

It appears in the Stash chest at towns. Took me 2 days after the account linking.
So I'm probably really close to the end of the game...I am still really enjoying it. The graphics, gameplay, etc, are great, but some of the dialogue is good, too. I think the main story narrated by crusader is pretty flat, but a lot of the voicework is a nice touch. I did the Covetous Shen quest after reading his story, oh man, I know that voice, I loved that quest, probably one of my favorite in the game.
I have the Enchantress as my follower. I have her geared up fairly well imo, but she has some great comments, too, my favorite of which is when she says

"I like the soldiers of this keep, even though they are not very good at fighting." and how if you leave the controller idle for a few minutes she will say something like "I've only waited 1500 years for this, should I return to my slumber" (paraphrasing that one)
So in my attempt tonight to try and further my MotE set, the game dropped all of the Raekor's set except boots. Even Kadala got in on it. It's not 2.1 turbocharged yet, but it's certainly a step up from my sad ass 2 piece MotE slop. Still hanging out in T1 while I chase RoRG, so it's more than enough to totally truck. I hit a 410-ish Massacre in the first T1 rift I tried it on because it was one of the 1-floor Southern Highlands layouts.
