Now go buy the game!

It's very tempting but I was planning on getting Metro Redux next week. I have to think about it some more.

 

[dragonflys545]

I don't seem to be getting any paragon points as I level up. Is this normal or am I missing something??

Co-oping with gf and it is great. Can people join us as well??
Thanks for the answers

You start getting paragon levels/points once you reached level 70.

It really depends on your genre preference, but I'd say Diablo 3 will have you put a lot more time on than Metro: Redux.

I'm having some friends over tonight for local co-op. I'm a few hours into the game already so can someone explain to me how multiplayer in this works?

1. How does scaling work? If I'm a few hours in and level 15 and my friends make characters to play with me, will they be useless in helping me fight monsters or will the game power them accordingly?
2. One of my friends already has a Battle.net account and is planning on picking up the game this weekend, if he signs in with his account on my PS4 when using one of my controllers, can he export his character that he makes today to use once he buys the game?
3. How does co-op work in general? Like lets say I'm playing with 4 friends and we're all at different points in the story - if they join my game and do quests with me, are those quests completed in their game as well or do they need to re-do it?

1. I think everyone scales up to the highest level character playing. So if you are 15 and everyone else is 1, then your friends get powered up in stats to level 15(but still maintain level 1 skills and abilities until they rightfully level). Basically no real fear about the game being imbalanced for anyone, though crappy gear can still make a big level gap difficult to overcome for lesser players.

2. Only characters from PS3/360 can transfer to PS4/Xbone. No PC transfers. Edit: Got confused, not sure how the PS4 version handles couch co-op for different accounts. Someone else can chime in. Not sure if the game can auto-pull characters when logging in through PSN, or if a USB stick is needed to upload a save.

3. Quests are completed out of order for friends. So yes, it is possible to beat the endgame without having touched Act 1. The game tracks your progress through the entire campaign so it's not hard to see which sections you still haven't played at the main menu and can easily start the game from one of those sections without hassle.

Thanks mate..

Now for second question could a friend or two friends join me and my gf when we are playing?

 

[UnholySpectacle]

Only if both of your profiles are online(XBL Gold or PS+).

You know what? Screw it! I still have XBL credit and I need a new co-op game. After I finish off the Skeleton King I'll get buy it.

 

[Leyasu]

Thanks. Well my gf is using her account, but on the xbone, you only need one gold account for all the other accounts. I can play bf or titanfall on-line with my gfs account no problem.

 

[The_Reckoning]

Can anyone recommend a good Crusader Rift build?

 

[Killer]

So i'm playing Hardcore right now and i heard you can back up your save in the cloud or using external harddrive. How does that work? I'm play on Xbone btw. Too bad it only accepts USB 3 HDD :/.

 

[Mutagenic]

Doing some rift stuff on twitch name timberjoey if anyone is bored.

Lol yeah, people complained that Diablo 3 didn't live up to expectations because it only gave hundreds rather than thousands of hours of play time .

 

[Respect]

Sorry if asked before and a search on google didn't help, but what does and enchanters focus do? Doesn't appear to be equipable, level requirement is met, not sure what to do with it...thanks in advance!

 

[kittens]

I'm just plowing through this game on Expert. I wish I didn't have to wait till I beat Act IV to bump it up, fuck. I'm skipping all the side dungeons now just so I can have less good gear and reach Act IV faster.

Awesome, thank you so much!

I found a gift for someone with the PSN name of Nirran! I sent it to, tell me what it is!

Rush through story asap for adventure mode !

It's for a companion that you might not have met yet.

 

[Etnos]

Played 400 hours on PC, now playing on my xbox one having lot of fun. It is a fun console port.

The level of detail in this game never fail to amuse me, wondering how many animations they have, environment and object animation from bookshelfs being destroyed to little detail in the context when you walk by.

 

[kittens]

I'm confused about how to find weapons for my companions. I'm rolling with an Enchantress right now, and she has a super basic, weak staff. I bought another staff from the Blacksmith and she can't use it. It's level 27 and she's 34... So what's the deal?

Rush through story asap for adventure mode !

Yup, that's what I'm doing. I'm still having fun, but I'd like more of a challenge.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

It blows me away that they added a walk animation.

 

[super-famicom]

Well, I started playing yesterday and today I finished the story mode on expert with Ms. Marvel, my Wizard. By the end, I was Level 57 with 22k DPS. I found Blizzard + Hydra + Disintegrate to be a powerful combo, though I am gonna tweak my build for adventure mode.

Here's my build: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/wizard#aRlijO!YWX!ZZbbaY

I'm thinking of replacing Disintegrate but dunno if I want to use Arcane Orb. I really wish the CM/WW build didn't get nerfed; I loved it in vanillla D3 on PC. Any tips on moving forward with my build?

Are you sure that's not a Monk specific staff? The enchantress can use two handed swords and clubs as well, I have mine equipped with a Legendary 2 handed sword.

 

[Quixz]

Quick question. If you're playing over PSN/Live, are players forced to be on the same screen?

 

[Brandon F]

Transmogrify is kinda weird. Impossible to really see what you are making with that tiny avatar on screen. Wish there was a button to blow up your character model to full screen to view what each alteration looks like properly.

 

[zeox]

I just

Spoiler

killed Maghda

and I'm already 38. jesus christ you level fast when you play on expert :S

 

[catspit]

Really torn between playing a demon hunter or a witch doc. Can anyone help me out/ give some end game insight.?

 

[Matriox]

Nope, you can free roam. Only couch coop will force a same screen experience.

Its all personal preference, but mine is I hate witch doctors, love demon hunters. DH have a harder time surviving from offscreen kills from my experience with PC but that was a long time ago.

Repost:

What's the maximum stack for crafting items?

I believe its 1000?

 

[Haines]

Hey I just want confirm something I saw someone post in this thread.

Coop: loot is designated to the player who would benefit most right?

So no reason to ever look at my loot for my partners desires correct?

Well then I'll be buying my copy over the weekend if I can find one. Game UK's web store seems to be out of PS4 stock.

Bring on the bank holiday!

 

[Brandon F]

Everytime I jump online in Adventure mode on PS4, I can guarantee to see plenty of Witch Doctors, Demon Hunters, and Crusaders. Seem by far to be the most played classes in the endgame right now. Monk and Barb are almost non-existent, while Wizard appears occasionally. Lots of WD's though, very popular.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

1000

 

[Tunesmith]

Repost:

On PC it's 1000, not sure if they changed that for console.

 

[Golgo 13]

So GAF I'm thinking of picking this up. I put a fair amount of time (<100 hrs) into the PC version with the Witch Doctor and to a lesser extent, the monk. I LOVE the Witch Doctor class but suppose I should probably try something different this time around.

How's the Wizard? Worth jumping to for my first console play through?

Wizard is really great, but back in Vanilla (old Diablo before the patches) I was having a hard time in the end game with the Wizard so I restarted with WD and things were better. But since then I believe everything has been balanced out so you should be fine.

 

[kittens]

I dunno. It said it's a Daibo, so maybe that's a type of staff that enchanctresses can't use?

Repost:

What does that mean? Diablo noob here.

 

[KernelPanic]

Daibo are monk only weapons.

 

[Psychoward]

What does that mean? Diablo noob here.

Crafting items are well, er, crafting items - but the stacks refer to how many can be in one "pile" in a stash/your inventory. If the maximum stack is 1000, that means you can only have 1000 of each crafting material in one stash slot or your inventory.

 

[super-famicom]

Yeah, the Daibo is a monk only weapon. If you look at its description, it should say Monk in there somewhere.

 

[Matriox]

What does that mean? Diablo noob here.

A crafting material (Iridescent Tear for this example), can have 1000 in a stack before it starts a new stack of up to 1000.

 

[Script_Flipper]

Really loving to WD all the sudden. I had no idea I had it in me!

Ohhhh, cool. I've just been calling those ingredients, haha.

 

[Kyoufu]

So I got two Stone of Jordans today. One at level 68 and the other at 70 lol.

Got Ice Climbers at 69. Sad panda.

 

[ChuckNyce]

Murderous friggin cows....I love this game!

 

[Psychoward]

So are all of the acts as long as Act 1? Because I'm not even done yet and I'm level 26 on Hard.

How do you change passive skills in sure I could swop them earlier now it dosnt work? (Ps4)
Ignor me I was pressing the wrong button doh!

My game(PS4 version) just crashed. I was idling in town and it just happened. WTF!

 

[U2NUMB]

If I remember right most are shorter than Act 1.

 

[Persona RS]

Sort of. The character level up faster in UEE than in vanilla D3 because the modes Nightmare, Hell and Inferno were removed.

Diablo III in 3 Minutes

It's almost impressive how terrible the story manages to be.
