Sounds like you need a Vita.I think you're gonna like that full set. It's so killer.
So mad at my Girlfriend for watching TV (we only have one) right now, UUUGGH! TV is so fucking boring.
Honestly I'm not a fan of the Nemesis system. It needs work. You don't really get any legendaries from them either (at least I haven't, and I've killed quite a few), but you always get a gift for the person it killed first, which is honestly bullshit. Maybe I'm being selfish here but I think the rewards should be higher for killing a Nemesis. As of right now it's really just a nuisance.

Only thing I hate about the nemesis system is 99% of the time the drops are shit.
That's what I'm saying. If we got better drops from them, I'd be more than happy to have them interrupt my game haha.

So I beat the game with my monk and he's level 70 + 12. Gear isn't great though and Torment 1 is arduous. Should I be doing something specific on Master or just doubling down on Torment? The grind for gear doesnt' seem to be working very well for me (Haven't upgraded in ages). Should I just be playing new characters or is there something Im missing?

You can restore hardcore characters from a backup save
Consoles aren't that hardcore
Wish this were true. The last time my PS4 uploaded save data into the online storage was 2.5 weeks ago. I suppose if I had immediately thought to check my local save, then that might have worked, though.
I'm still really salty about breezing my way through the game and then getting killed because I got up to answer the phone during a cutscene in Act IV.
I've had one drop in when there were no enemies around, just friendly NPCs (around the end of Act IV, I think?). I was surprised that it was even possible for one to show up then.

Doesn't the person whose nemesis you kill get an automatic legendary? Killing the Nemesis is for your friend's benefit not yours.
You get a gift drop and some other junk on top of that.
I love Nemesis. It's the only real tension in softcore mode as you're frantically trying to kill off what you're fighting to get ready.
Even if I destroy elites and champs the Nemesis is usually much tougher, which is a welcome change when you're mindlessly farming.
Suddenly your have to go all out and pay attention.
Could be your luck. I've had Nemesis show up during times of chaos and times with nothing on screen. When it's chaotic I try to run to an area where I've already killed the mobs when I hear the first horn. Sometimes all the current mobs don't follow you. Yesterday I was cleaning out a timed "cursed chest" with 5 waves of purple named mobs. Wave 1 is decimated and the horn billows. I was forced to break off the engagement and ran somewhere with no mobs to deal with the Nemesis. Of course I wasn't able to finish the timed bonus, which sucked.
Also was in a dungeon yesterday where there was nothing alive in the area and the horn billowed. It was the big squarish dungeon that looks like a maze, with jail cells, if you fill the whole thing out. Killied that Nemys ass too.
As for drops, I've gotten nothing while a legendary gift was dropped and a yellow item when a legendary gift was dropped.
@ Haines
Do you mean it doesn't drop or it should drop more than it does? I have two of them. Found one also yesterday. Just don't remember where. You do mean Gibbering Gemstone?
FML well thanks. Any alternative way to collecting the gibbering stone?

I really don't like the fact that the game can be so easily exploited for gear. Maybe always online would have been better, or more frequent auto saving.
Eh. You're still going up against the RNG and can still take you forever(sup Lut Socks) to get the thing that you want if you quit from the OS, let alone a decent roll on the stats from the item. It's not doing anything but cutting out the middle portion(blood shards/ caches) which are easy enough to farm up and its not like you're guaranteed something like legendaries on the first kill of the Act boss.
I dunno, that sounds like cutting out a large part of the game to me. Killing dudes in rifts/bounties over and over and getting upgrades at a steady pace is a part of the game. It's not like there is an "endgame" that you need that gear for. The game is all about building up gear over time and naturally progressing through the difficulties. Even once you reach T6 and have the "best" gear you have room for improvement. I've changed my entire set at least 3 times now just getting better versions of that gear. It paid off well for me too since I was able to reach Greater Rift 32 on my first day of trying which is well past Torment 6 in terms of difficulty.

It's not glitched. I played with a GAFer who had it drop for him and he took me to Whimsyshire.
Oh oksy so I guess its extremely rare ? Thanks I'll keep grinding it on normal

The GAFfer I played with thought it was glitched as well, since he was farming it for a while. But he ended up getting it just a couple of hours ago. Good luck getting it to drop!
I've played this game to around Paragon 50 on PC and now I'm around Paragon 15 on PS4, but I'm still confused by how some of the systems work. Can someone give me a simple explanation on how dps is calculated, for example? It seems to me that changing skills doesn't affect dps, even if it clearly should (e.g. swapping a healing sigil with a damaging one). So is it only the primary attack that is being considered for dps?
If that is the case, then how are dps figures actually relevant and comparable between different setups (let alone different classes)?

Your listed DPS is the DPS of your weapon damage, attack speed, crit chance, Str bonus, etc.
When a skill says it does "205% of weapon damage," then "weapon damage" refers to the listed sheet DPS.
Edit: So the DPS listed on your sheet isn't the result of your skills, but rather the basis of your skills.
What a streak of Good rng.
Played some morning rifts with fellows gaffers and got Blade of Prophecy (!), really nice rare necklace with 14% fire dmg, now rolling total of 84% increased fire damage and Fire Walkers on top of all that. What a run!
Funny thing that set gloves dropped, could it be Akkhan? Nope, almost perfectly rolled Marauder gloves. My DH will be pleased. Although, I'd really love some Akkhan drops.

I've had decent luck with the Nemesis system. On one occasion, it dropped a piece I needed from the Tal Rasha set with a nice roll.
I think it's fun that it tends to phase in when you're neck deep, and when you hear that horn and the controller starts vibrating, it's cool as hell.

So Kadala drops legendaries? I've probably spend 1500 shards and haven't seen one...

Yes, set pieces as well.
Yup, spent about that much last night and got only yellows and blues until the last 20 or so when I got 2 of the same green, and one crap legendary... Too bad I was looking for lut socks
I got a uhkapian serpent from her after less than 60 shards I'd say. Got really lucky. Now helms on the other hand D:
To be fair someone did the numbers it's about 1 legendary to about 2000 shards. Only when you get lucky does this work in your favor. Just remember blood shards are easy to earn and literally costs you nothing.
I spent months feeding kadala shards for tasker and theo didn't happen until a week ago now I've rolled 3 from her since.
Just for the record RNG is gonna RNG. Abuse it and the glory will be yours not just the loot.
People in your party do add to stats so filling up to max granted you can keep your clearing rate up is to your benefit.

why do you not want to up the difficulty? i played through ACT I-IV on expert then did ACT V on master. It was actually quite easy and I'm the kind of person who just plays games on normal settings. I've even done some of ACT V on Torment. I just killed Matheal this morning and I'm level 68.
So I beat the game on normal and now I'm in adventure mode on hard to get better gear. Should I stop and finish the game on the other difficulty levels too or can I just stick with adventure mode until I get good enough gear to eventually make my way to Torment?

I don't think you need to complete the campaign on a particular setting. Just play adventure mode until you feel ready to up the difficulty. What level are you? I think you need to be level 60 to unlock Torment levels.
The game really is about taking things at a pace you prefer or desire.
I barely use campaign mode unless it's for specific runs I loop. Adventure mode is where I stay at considering you can earn more gold and xp than just running through things. The gear you get is not exactly specific to either mode but for your difficulty it is. I run normal bounties to build up a ton of rift shards then go in to my highest acceptable difficult for my loot.
You got the right idea, but if you're level 40+ just up the difficulty to the point you can clear fast when you stop clearing fast don't go up.

Doesn't the game run at 30FPS on remote play?
It's like 1% glitches drop rate
It does but getting to play while i'm work is worth it.

How exactly do you trade in this game? I actually have a spare Ring of Royal Grandeur and I'm willing to exchange for a set piece.
