That sucks man. I'm pretty much fresh out of gems so no more vitality rolls for me!
Dashing Strike? Dodge to get out of it.

I encounter a bug sometimes when playing with others where it won't let me warp to them when they're in a normal rift. I figured out all I have to do is step in the rift portal, exit it, then click on the player's banner I want to port to.
This occurs pretty often for me as I'll get invitations from other gaffers while they're doing rift runs.

Had a scare last night while playing. The internet at our apartment started crapping out while my friend was sending me a few Ramaladni Gifts. After awhile the internet finally came back and I got the mail notification. I ran over to the mailbox to collect the items, and it looked like they were going to my inventory. When I checked my inventory, the gifts were nowhere to be found...but I realized the mail icon was still up. So I went to the mailbox again to retrieve them thinking I might have cancelled instead of confirming previously. Same thing happen.
Then again.
Then I was like...screw it. I started to go back to playing and the game paused with a message "cannot connect to the mail server" (or something like that). It said all you had to do was press X to continue. Instead, I had to close my game through the PS menu because that error message wouldn't go away and I couldn't continue my game.
Then I got really worried I somehow lost those gifts.
Luckily they were still in there

Yes, yes it does.
At least you have gotten The Vault, and the Leg Gem it gives out... I have not.
That adds yet another layer on top of everything else you need to be doing in order to keep a Monk alive.
Which is hard enough, as is.
In the heat of the moment, who is going to use the otherwise ineffectual roll?
Proper gear and it's hard to die. That said I'm speaking from an end game perspective where T6 is a joke blindfolded here.Yes, yes it does.

Hey I already gave you 2!!!!! Don't be THAT jealous
Anyways, is anyone else using a barb for higher grifts? 32 is my max with a group of 4. I don't see him being viable after that. There just isn't enough red bar to keep me alive.

Would you post your gear and stats?
Or e-mail them?
I'd love to see.
I'm running Sunwuko (full set bonus), Auglid (full set bonus), Peshkov, Depthdiggers, RoRG, and a Socket Lit SoJ, with a Flying Dragon.

Just dropped in to say I tried Torchlight but got bored of the samey dungeons and my index knuckle got tired of clicking.
Will I like Diablo 3 instead?

The vault looks awesome. Only found it once. That gem is great but I'm not going to upgrade it. I have other prioritied and that is to get a socket on my damn amulet and ring!Yes, yes it does.

I think the second one was supposed to drop for you, but since you weren't online...
The action is MUCH more visceral in D3.
So I think so, yes.
Also: the loot is nowhere nearly as homogenized as Torchlight 2's.
But that's the point!!!
Upgrade the gem, get more $$$, have more chances to reroll those ammys and rings.
Of course if the problem is gems... yeah. That DOES suck on console. Sorry about that.

Yeah, never understood the problem with gold, I'll probably run out of gems long before I'll run out of gold. Just today doing a few t6 rifts and bounties, I've gotten something like 10 million gold, already had 80 before.
If you mean the original Torchlight... Maybe? The combat while still "clicking" in a sense is like way more involved because most of the time the focus is less on one ability spam and more about using your skills in a smart way. Even builds that only use one attack still use other skills for stuff like resource management or crowd control both of which are a huge part of the game. Each class has its own unique resource system and despite all of them being "fill up the bar then dump it" they feel pretty different. And like I said, crowd control is really important at the endgame, keeping enemies from killing you through stuns/knockbacks/taunts etc. is almost as important as actually killing them. Especially because the two have a rather symbiotic relationship as a lot of crowd control in the game offers you increased damage for a short duration.
As for the dungeons the main story isn't really like the original TL where you are just going down floor after floor that all look the same for 10 or so floors until you finally get a tileset change. There are 5 acts and each of them look significantly different from one another. If you've played Torchlight 2 it is fairly similar to that imo except D3 is more varied. I'd say the one catch is the endgame for D3 has you doing random dungeons that takes every map from the game and when possible randomizes the pieces to create a unique dungeon with random enemy spawns from every single act in it. In that sense you will see every location over and over again, but, there are random elements to it and that is outside the main story.

yup. map layout and monster density are the two biggest factors in finishing or not finishing a rift for me.
i also wish trials were more consistent in how they place you in grifts. sometimes i'll finish 12 rounds thinking i'll be placed really high only to see the game give me a g29 key. wtf? demon hunters place higher even if they do less rounds. just going 7 rounds will net me 35-37 keys.
i'm slowly upgrading my crusader stat by stat. i dropped a killer HF ammy to get a third socket. hopefully that'll get me over the g38-39 hump. but then i lost some CC. what're the recommended gems for a stampede crusader? bane of the trapped and pain enhancer are givens. the third slot seems to be more flexible but my choices are gogok, mirinae, or bane of the powerful (maybe even zei's). i'm at 47%CDR but i have no problems staying alive; it takes awhile to kill things, but maybe that's because enemies have a shit-ton of HP at higher grifts.

Are you running Temporal Flux? It's pretty cool, especially if you have a Bane of the Trapped.
Sorry Raptor, I logged on and all my legendary gems were gone and the 3 in my gear are all reset back to rank 0.
Also a helmet is equipped but not actually shown on my character.
Anyone know wtf just happened?
Edit: More users with the same problem. Apparently there was a hotfix? Gems are in the items section lol. I didn't stay too long in game and redownloaded my save just to be sure.

Is there a list of PS4 players somewhere? I just got the game today, downloading it right now. I've heard this game is a lot of to play solo, but I'd also like to have some folks to play with too.
Had a lvl 61 ex arias sword that put me over 100k in attack last night. Logged in today and was at 74k. Sword shows no damage only stats. U equipped it and it wouldn't let me re equip it but it let me equip it in my off hand. I am now duel wielding for 224k atk. I think something got screwed up.

Okay just got my first ramaladnis gift, this is the item that puts a socket on your weapon right?

So there was an update? Are they at 1.05 now? I may have launched my game before it went live.
Seems to be a console "hotfix", you still have to download something and then possibly remain online for it to continue to be active. Though I'm not sure if I would update... alarming number of people talking about these disappearing numbers on the forums. It sounds like something broke.
My gems were back yo 0 lol had to download a save from da clouds only bad thing is i lost like 5 hours of progress

damn thanks for the heads up, backing up to the cloud before i play next
Not for me. Loaded it up 3 times. 2nd time was after closing application, 3rd time was after PS4 reset.
Made sure to send a nice gift I got from a friend to the same friend to hold it for me since my save is from last night haha. Hoping this seems like a bigger deal than it actually is but I don't know much about this stuff.
Whoa, thanks for the warning fellas! I have been playing D3 non stop for the last three days, but today I spent it with one of my daughters and just popped into this thread before firing the game up. I won't do a thing until I see all is clear.
Consider doing what I did to improve my socketless RoRG. Instead of waiting for the cheating random rolls to grace me with one, I instead just kept farming T6 Act I Bounties.
I was playing the game while trying to get a better one with this method, so it wasn't too bad. Sure enough (after eight hours over three days, lol), I rolled a RoRG last night with a Socket, 496 Strength and 96 All Resistance. I enchanted the Attack Speed into 8% Cool Down Reduction, so I'm good to go with that piece for now.

At your CDR I would run gogok no question. Once you get your CDR up run mirinae stampede procs it solidly. It really helps against elites and RG. Unless you are running low grifts under 32 or so powerful just is not very good. The buff just does not last long enough when killing takes much longer. Zei's just is worthless in to many situations were you need to get up closer to deal with environment or wallers. Other choice in a group is the poison gem since it buffs the whole group. But only 1 person can really run it.

Hopefully with the new hotfix it wont be so bad?

Okay fellas, I'm baffled and I figured I would have to fall back to this thread to get some answers, since a few quick searches on Google has revealed next-to-nothing on this subject:
When I open my game to the public, approximately 1 in every 10 people I come across is cheating/hacking/exploiting the game. How in the hell do they do this on a console version of this game?
They come in and lay waste to EVERYTHING with one or two hits, rendering the game broken for anyone who wants to have fun actually playing the damn thing. Looking at their gear, everything they have is triple socketed (and it's clear that's an exploit because the gems are so big they block the picture of the item itself, taking up the entire frame), and the weapon they have is usually the Russian-something-or-other with an insane base damage of like, 500k.
What. The. Fuck?
I love opening my game up to randoms because I can sort of control the ebb and flow of the game, but there's no option to kick these fools.
My friends and I are against cheating, but we're also baffled as to how someone goes about doing this. How are they exploiting the console version??

That's just about my gear there. Heavy on dmg reductions. My sunwuko rolls suck tho. I'll take some pics later.
Dp ( on mobile).
They're using hex edited items imported via saves from the PS3/ 360 versions.
Does that include the 360/PS3 versions of UEE? I've been kinda curious about all that since I've seen screenshots of hacked Reaper of Soul only items like Thunderfury and it's made me curious as to where those came from.
