Crafting mats change at level 61 so it doesn't matter before then. But yeah at 61+ you will want to salvage EVERYTHING you are not using. All the crafting mats are really valuable and they are easy to burn through when you start rerolling gear or try to craft weapon/armor with the exact stats you want.

Still at work and itching to go home and play XD
Anyone who bought from US store and playing in UK/EU, did you still get the preorder items?

Yes. I'm only referring to items by color.
Whites become (Very common)
Blues (Least common)
Yellows (Common but unlike the other 2 you only get one per each item the others you get random amounts)
Legendaries (Salvage whatever is not useful for you or friends you need them to enchant items and myriam is not generous person.)
If you want to know how to attain some quickly just respond in here or send a pm.
I downloaded the small one, and the entire game is in russian or polish. What the fuck!

do you carry your craft items around with you permanently? i find they take a LOT of space. Or do you just leave them in your inventory.

Lol. Seriously, this is confusing, I guess I'll go for the 40GB one.

Stash 'em
If it works like the PC version (which I don't see why it wouldn't) jumping into another player's game will let you skip through parts of the campaign, but, when you check out quest selection anything you personally haven't done won't show up (so if you jump from Act 1 to Act 3 Act 2 won't show up, just 1 and 3). By default when you jump back into the game it will put you in the last spot you were at regardless of single/multiplayer I believe... But it's been a while since I have messed with story mode so I might be forgetting something.

Just got off work. Looking forward to starting this up when I get home. Still undecided on a class. Probably DH or WD considering I really only played a Wizard on PC.
So I have to say that I thought I bit off more than I could chew starting off fresh and blind on Expert in this. Enemies were taking a long time for me to kill as a Wizard and I was doing a ton of kiting.
My feelings started to turn for the better when I ended up in an encounter with some sort of boss/elite mob near, well I forget the name of the place, but it was one crypt of three I had to explore to find a crown for the main quest.
I had to kite this fucking digging/scavenging guy and his ghost buddies for what must have been a good 8 minutes or so before they finally dropped dead, and I got a weapon drop I had to survey. 'Lo and behold, it ended up being a Legendary 1H sword called Wildwood that was a HUGE damage increase for me.
I proceeded to complete my quest objective and got a great off hand drop (it's a book that levitates in my hand), a new chest piece, pauldrons, and ring.
At this point I got prompted to teleport to town but I wanted to explore the remaining crypt I hadn't set foot in yet, and shit was just dieing left and right. I was performing so much better, a tooltip popped up explaining how to change the difficulty of the game, even though I'm at the max difficulty I can be right now lol.
TLDR: Rocky start on Expert, but after getting some great drops the game got more fun.
Gonna go to bed now and just indulge myself in this game over the next 2 days, totally glad I picked this up.

Good thing I added a bunch of GAF'ers here @_@
No I tend to put my items back in the inventory when I'm done doing a specific task I had in mind. During most of my runs I quick salvage, which is much better on the console, and then go back to my task. You should have 5 or 4 tabs depending on how up to date blizzard is keeping the game and it's plenty of room, this picture should help you out.
Here's my current wiz profile. I do mix it up quite a bit, but it's geared for T6 uber runs which which me and the main clan leader can do quite fast or carry our friends through. I use a cold elemental setup and my magic missile and cold hydra can deal out quite a bit. If you want advice on cold setups as you level let me know.
Abuse the blackhole with the damage increase of 3% per hit vs the bigger mobs you will get a big damage that bonus that no passive Nail a mob of any decent like the icon shows and laugh. That's ten seconds of that bonus damage next to a power pylon, conduit, or harringtons belt not that easy to get such a bonus.
Have fun with whatever machinations come to mind and when you can use mirror image with that frost nova 30% you mentioned it has nice results especially in groups.
Those I qualify as legendaries since they become brimstones or forgotten souls.

Yeh that's pretty much how it's gonna be when you start the game on a somewhat hard difficulty. A single good weapon drop makes a huge difference and is usually what you're looking forward at that point. I really like that as it may take a while but when you finally do get that good drop and feel how much it improves everything it's quite rewarding.

people need reminding you send the items to people manually. through the new treasure tab in inventory. (lower right-at top of menu)
I'm new friends with ~30 of you and haven't gotten a thing. lol.

About 3 hours after the game released. 30 isn't much considering there's like 300+ in that thread on PSN alone. Most of us are asleep, at work, or don't yet have the game. The digital version wasn't all that appealing with its broken download size.

Would you recommend I dive right in on expert?
I haven't played in a few years but this type of game is my exact cup of tea
Still waiting for the post man :-(

Do you choose to send legendaries to friends? Or are they randomly sent?

man your character is a fair bit beyond mine. Im like 111K damage - you seemed to be like 850K DPS or something. Im nowhere near that - nice looking build. I guess my build wouldnt be suitable for the level you play at.
Yeah i guess i just need to keep my stuff in inventory then try and make things as and when i need it. Grab it from my inventory and either craft something or enchant something.
I wish they gave us more than 60 slots TBH.

Hmmm, my mom and I are playing from 2 ps4's in the same house. If she joins my game, she gets booted out within 2 seconds with no message pop up; but I can join her game and play no problem. That makes no sense at all lol
The current WD T6 builds are Pets and Jade Harvester. If you read through those links you can get a pretty good idea of them. The pet build is fairly flexible in a few ways but Jade is pretty locked down.
General idea behind pets is to get a Mask of Jeram (increases pet damage by 75-100%) and a Tall man's finger (combines all zombie dogs into 1 huge dog with massive HP and he hits like a truck) and then use a high proc attack like rain of toads to constantly spawn fetishes. This is probably the easiest T6 build in the game to gear for because the gear requirements are so low.
As for Jade you need the entire Jade set and the Queztzalcoatl helmet. Playstyle is pretty straight forward, hit enemies with haunt and locust swarm and then use soul harvest to consume the entire duration (up to 30 seconds iirc) and deal the DoT damage instantly. This build takes a lot of gear but it's arguably the strongest in the game because you pretty consistently 1 shot elite packs, even in groups.
Don't worry too much about it until max level, but really it depends on the gear slots. In general CDR is your best stat because over half of crusader's abilities are on a cooldown, but, you still want to follow the typical gearing guidelines: Crit chance and CHD everywhere you can get it, Strength on nearly every piece (ideally every single piece), and elemental damage where you can get it. Since most stats can only roll on specific pieces it makes your goal pretty manageable.

its a strength based class. Look for items which have a main in Strength rather than intelligence or Dex.
Vitality is important across all classes. (how much life you have)
The dps doesn't matter your skills and combat are more important and that's decent philosophy. I play at all levels, dead serious I still play on normal at least a few times during my runs on some days as it's easiest way to farm rift fragments. Lower torments are good for cache runs and getting certain items out of them.
that's my build without considering buffs or bonuses. On that build when I hit certain combos or play with certain friends it goes to about 2.4 mil max and that is that build not my vyrs which can hit inbetween 7-9 mil on the sheet dps. I play hardcore so I still have to build up character constantly and since I play on different accounts for friends always trying to see what others wizards are doing for damage or support.
When it comes to your inventory think of it as short term way to hold on to things. Rather I tend to stash a lot of things for late builds or say I switch up my builds and they give you plenty of space. You can also create characters and use the inventory to mule them between other characters which gives you even more space. I have the same wish as well 60 slots is small especially when you consider certain items eat 2 spots each.

Do it.
It'll start off rough, but once you start getting good drops and a decent build for your class you'll start breezing through mobs.

what did you put your paragon points into? what would you recommend for a wizard?
i had 2 points only and i put them into attack speed - then i read somewhere your should do that as it has no effect. I couldnt decipher why i always thought increased attack speed made more DPS.
Strength and Vitality are the ones you'll focus on early; as you level you'll want to start favoring shields with block chance as well as any item that contributes attack speed, critical hit damage, critical hit chance, and all resistance. There are some Crusader end-game builds that focus heavily on cooldown reduction so keep an eye out for that when you get to 70.
