To each his own... Personally, I do not consider it legit and would rather play with others of a similar mindset.

 

[spatenfloot]

I don't see any problem with multiboxing. I refuse to play with the people using the hacked items though.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

Gotta dual socketed pox faulds with +15% corpse spider dmg (Witch doctor) to give away as well if anyone wants.

damn. why not dex? i'm using a melee demon hunter and the pox faulds are great for it. mine has garbage rolls tho. i'll take 'em regardless.

The quest for the mask of Jeram continues. I had a nice rift run where I had two legendary drops and some set boots (the jade ones). One of the legendaries was a 2h mace that I just binned, the other was a voodoo mask that got me all excited. It turned out to be the carnevil mask, sadly. As I only have one piece of the zuni set I tucked it away into the stash for later.

I'm rolling with the fetish sycophants build just now, with the tall man's finger for the big dog. I have a homonculus and was using that up until recently, then I swapped it out for a Thing of the deep. I never realised how strong that was paired with the grave injustice passive. I use the wave of mutilation instead of piranahdo. I find it more satisfying throwing this massive wave of fish, and with half the cooldown it's up nearly all the time with grave injustice.

Mowing down the legions of hell with fish, angry knee stabbing furbies and toads. That's how I roll.

Ok now i'm gonna pass out

In adventure mode I notice on the map there are some places with no bounty but do have bosses. Is there any benefit to doing these in addition to the bounties?

Sorry man. Helm's already taken unfortunately
Will def pass the next one to ya (if I get another that is.)
Got a spare akkan pauldrons though if you want.

Gladly. When my internet connection goes up (it's down again for no reason, seriously), I'll send you Rift Keys. Those things could be sent through mail, right?

Also, what's your PSN ID?

So started a barb up on Hardcore yesterday, playing on Hard, finished Act I at level 27. I'm wondering if the extra XP is worth the risk of playing on Hard, I mean it's not -that- hard, only ever got one or two "close calls" when I was under 1/3:rd of my health. IIRC, you don't ever get elite packs with multiple effects at the lower levels right? So I won't be getting Waller/Arcane or something that can result on near insta-deaths on T1 when leveling on normal-mode.

I'm mostly afraid of sudden jumps in difficulty, or if my gear hasn't followed the rest of the progression, are there any spreadsheets that explain difficulty jumps between acts and levels etc?

But my biggest fear is Malathel, was the hardest fight I had playing my DH on normal-mode (Master though)

 

[thetrin]

Yeah, I've played both the PC and console vanilla versions:

Console RoS >>>>> console vanilla >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> PC vanilla

And PC RoS should be a good bit better than console too. Might pick it up when I get a new iMac.

Does PC RoS have Nemesis? Because man, that system is super cool.

 

[FreeMufasa]

Just finished the demo on the 360 and enjoyed it. But is the full game as easy?

 

[madmackem]

When will they patch this to fuck off the hacked items, its broke the game and its been broke for weeks now.

I have a level 19 HC Monk, let's co-op.

When I play public games, I tend to stay away from T6 deliberately. T5 mostly have 0 hacked items in my own experience, but T6 is shock full of them.

 

[Number45]

Don't think so, no.

It is, on the easier difficulties. When you play through it the first time set it as high as you can go (expert to the end of act 4, then master for act 5). Once you've beaten the game once you're in total control of the difficulty level.

When will they patch this to fuck off the hacked items, its broke the game and its been broke for weeks now.

I don't think this is possible, sadly. I hope they consider something like seasons for console so that they can address this. I don't actually want seasons (unless I can level in adventure mode each time), but I would be more than happy for a full reset if it meant online only with no hacked items.

Adventure mode is unlocked right from the start in seasons, got out ahead of a potential problem with the fact people don't want to play through the story every time a new season starts.

I have 3 and will gladly trade for a T&T, the hunt for those gloves is killing me. Got a near perfect magefist in the process though. I play on PS4, HC (psn: strakkejakke).

Yes, lets! Not sure if levelscaling works in HC though, but 8 levels should be catchable easily right? The rift and infernal machine runs we did a few weeks ago were a blast, so this should be fun

I'm online most nights, so if you see me playing something else, just send an invite and I'll hop on over. Even if I'm not online on PS4 I'm probably on the PC, so send a message anyway, and I'll jump over to the PS4.

 

[BradleyLove]

no. you can skip them.

Thanks, man.

 

[turnbuckle]

You are welcome.


First, I stated that I do this weeks ago in this thread. Everyone who is reading this thread was able to see it directly.
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=129214346&highlight=multibox#post129214346
It wasn't a secret.

Second, when I come to a group with my other characters filling empty slots, I have absolutely no issue with keeping them out. If you send me a message to ask what's going on, I answer it, as I did with you. If you have a headset on, so do I, and you can directly ask me about it. Anyone who has played this game with me can tell you that if they ask for me to not have my side characters in the group, I keep them out without hesitation. I place the highest priority on respecting the desires of the other players of a group in this game.

Third, the last I recall reading a Blizzard employee post on the subject on PC, they actually did in fact state that multiboxing is allowed as long as all accounts aren't doing anything which is automated from what a human player does. The use of scripts and automation was banned, but multiboxing itself was not. If you want me to source this, I can see about hunting it out from their forum, but I'm quite sure I'm recalling this correctly.


I'm glad you asked.

On same screen coop in this game, if one player wanders too far away from the others, the stationary players are automatically teleported to the moving player. When I realized that, I wondered how it would work to build up side characters with maximized defense whose sole purpose would be to not die and fill empty slots in the group, so that all players could maximize all statistical and loot gain. As it turns out, it works out rather well.

I have four PS4 controllers hooked up when I play this game. I have four separate accounts, and they each have at least 180 paragon levels now. Nobody uses any kind of hacked or duplicated gear whatsoever. There is nothing extra being done with the controllers as they sit unused. There is no automation or botting of any kind. They are not bots. Everything is found and done through normal play.

Why do I do this? It makes the game more interesting to me. It turns it into something of a giant escort mission, and does help prolong the goals in playing the game and the process of accumulation. I have a "good" character of every class now, and I've done that without going through the agonizing arduous process of raising them from 1 to 70 by playing them directly. It also gives me motivation to hunt for different types of gear to use that nobody would think about using otherwise (having a Crusader using a Grandfather with 11% Life and +1000 Vit as his weapon is one such example). It also enables me to help with other players in a group, too. If I see you alone as a Barbarian, I can send in three other Barbarians and thus maximize the chance that at least one out of the four of us will get a useful drop of some kind with every rift or bounty run.

It's something that I did on PS3 vanilla (and posted about it in that OT thread here as well), it's something that I do here, and it's something that I'll always do in this game as long as I can. It is a means of maximizing the potential gain I have for the time I play the game.

You are my favorite player to play with. Was the same when we were playing back in the PC days. Very respectful and helpful with good command of each class that you play and an understanding of the statistical side of the game (i.e. certain breakpoints, builds, rotations, etc).

Sorry about my exit yesterday. The girlfriend was taking a nap while I was playing with you guys and then woke up and reminded me we had to pick up our dog from the kennel (we were away most of the weekend for a wedding and she was exhausted). I was trying to fit in some extra playing time while she was getting ready to go but then I ran out of time . The lag yesterday was something else and I had to switch to a defensive build since I was getting killed frequently and couldn't do much about it otherwise.

Also - thanks Krayzie for the loot you hooked me up with. A few of the things you dropped I set aside for ideas on different builds I want to play around with should I find drops that complement them. I'm actually interested in seeing how a thorns build would work, though I need to get quite a bit more stuff to make it happen. Does anyone know if Thorns is considered a skill? A physical one? I'm just wondering if I could have my thorns damage modified by + physical skill damage affixes.

On the topic of multiboxing, I imagine having a great thorns crusader would be fun to have follow you around.

Krazyie, you're crusader is a hell of a lot more beastly than mine. Things with Dog$ went a lot smoother with you yesterday once you joined since I wasn't doing much at all in terms of DPS. I tried using some skills to support you guys (shield glare + increase damage to blind enemies by 20%; the Law skill that increases crit damage) but I'm not certain how helpful they were. Lemme know if there are different skills you think would be helpful for me to use if we're in a similar situation where I'm finding myself good for nothing but support. One of these days...I'll join your wrecking crew and stomp all over the mobs. In the meantime, I'm appreciating all the help you two have provided

Interesting. The more I learn, the more I appreciate that I don't really have any interest in multiplayer.

Finally got the platinum. It would have happened sooner but, I took a break to play some Destiny.

The 500 bounties was kind of a pain for me since I prefer to only use bounties as a way to acquire rift tokens. Now I have a ton of tokens though, so I'm good for the foreseeable future. Time to get more rifting done.

 

[stn]

What's the fastest way to level from 1-70? I'm lvl 68 on my first character and am dreading doing it 5 more times. Though I guess it'll come naturally since I have to do 500 bounties, anyway (currently at 50-ish).

I levelled all five other characters using the cheesy Misers Will method. Depending on luck it was pretty quick, but also very dull. Easiest and by far quickest is to roll with someone playing T6 at level 70 if you can.

If you don't want to cheese it, play as many rifts as possible.

Leveling is really quick with bounties and rifts, specially since you can trick out your new toons with awesome gear right off the bat and level at around T1-T2, depending on the rolls you get on the gear you craft as you level up.

I had to dial down to Master when I hit around 62 on my second and third characters, since I couldn't quite get the gear needed for T1.

Instead of using shield glare, try out judgement + resolved (I find the increased chance to crit to be more crucial).
I use fist of the heavens + fissure as my 2nd secondary skill (dont use primary skills at all anymore), if you could use the same secondary skill set, we could chain em together and unleash a fury of lightning chains. (That is if two saders lightning fissure can indeed chain).

As for the thorns, I'm not sure how useful it is frankly (I dont use it at all), though if you ever want to experiment with it, I think i've got a shield which doubles thorn damage upon using provoke.

Easiest way if you're soloing - use your high level character for awhile to get some high level gems and crafting materials. Find lower-level requirement gear or enchant gear to get lower level requirement affixes. Do bounties on the highest difficulty you can.

See if anyone has a hellfire ring they can hook you up with. I got one from another gaffer recently, though I accidentally lost it while shutting off the game lol...

 

[Smidget]

As a D3 newbie can anyone explain what hacked items are and how I can avoid them? Rather play legit and almost done with the regular game so gonna start rifts/adventure mode/bounties/etc. probably soon.

Would it be possible for you to post your gear/build on here sometime?

I don't have the items to be able to drop my primary attacks yet. You were trying to give me a legendary belt that has thunder stuff on it yesterday, but I actually have a slightly better one in my stash. Maybe I should try out some kind of build that focuses on thunder/lightning damage? I'll have to look through my stash and see what I have. In the interim I'll try out that judgment skill

Easiest way to avoid it is to not play open to public. I think I switched my settings to public last week when nobody from gaf was on and I did a few rifts with that group - nothing hacked as far as I could tell. But yesterday I was playing with a few gaffers and a random joined us who definitely hacked their stuff.

Give aways are affixes on items that shouldn't exist. i.e. 3 sockets on a weapon. If you see a player with DPS that's in the hundreds of millions...well...they're probably using hacked stuff.

[BigDug13]

The quest for the mask of Jeram continues. I had a nice rift run where I had two legendary drops and some set boots (the jade ones). One of the legendaries was a 2h mace that I just binned, the other was a voodoo mask that got me all excited. It turned out to be the carnevil mask, sadly. As I only have one piece of the zuni set I tucked it away into the stash for later.

I'm rolling with the fetish sycophants build just now, with the tall man's finger for the big dog. I have a homonculus and was using that up until recently, then I swapped it out for a Thing of the deep. I never realised how strong that was paired with the grave injustice passive. I use the wave of mutilation instead of piranahdo. I find it more satisfying throwing this massive wave of fish, and with half the cooldown it's up nearly all the time with grave injustice.

Mowing down the legions of hell with fish, angry knee stabbing furbies and toads. That's how I roll.

Do you use a free dog or do you actually summon one? If you use circle of life passive to get a dog then swap out to a different passive, the dog remains, so you get a free dog while being able to get another action skill to replace zombie dogs.

After a few hours you'll be level 70 and you'll want to get level 70 weapons. Don't worry too much about it until then. Some great weapons to look out for are Starmetal Kukri, Rhen'ho Flayer, Sun Keeper which all have great affixes for WD builds.

So, I'm almost at 70 with my crusader. Where do I go from there? What loot am I supposed to get? What skills am I supposed to use? Currently I'm on expert and its usually pretty simple. There are rare occasions where I come close to dying but generally I dominate. Should I hit 70 and then switch to master?
