[PC] NOBDYH GVIE S A SHIT ABOUT DIABLO IIII

Got the bow on the right for 20k on the Auction House:



FUCK YES AUCTION HOUSE



There's nowhere I can't reach.

Hit the Butcher on Hell last night, oof.

Holy FUCK:



This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Apparently that's buffed, unbuffed his DPS is around 100k. Still pretty crazy.

Blizzard on Patch notes for 1.03 (later this month), sounds like they are addressing a lot of the big complaints: Patch 1.0.3 Design Preview - Diablo III

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Holy goddamn fuck, I take back everything bad I've ever said about this game. Found this in Act 1 with Inferno off the elite mob that spawns in Lacoris' (sp?) mansion.



Literally God Tier for my DH, cheapest comparable on the AH right now is 20 million. Garr also got a few good drops to buff him up a bit, need to get the guy some good stuff for Inferno. I still can't do Act 2 for shit though, need way more money for gear.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yeah, so that's a weird thing that blew up overnight. As far as I can tell this is the sequence of events:

-Supposedly a Gold dupe of some kind had been known since day 1 of the game, but very few people knew about it.

-A day or two ago on the Asian servers an item dupe became known. I'm not exactly sure on the timeframes if this has already been completed or not, but they wound up hotfixing and they stated that it was specific to the Asian servers. Where it gets unclear is they also went in and deleted all of the duplicated items as well as the original used to do so. This seems fine, but then some people also reported it was a completed 24 hour rollback, but I've seen conflicting information on that.

-It became known at least a couple of days ago that the AH timer is based on Clientside time (which is fucking hilarious, really?) so people were able to advance the clock on their PC to pull down auctions prematurely basically. At this time aside from being cancel auctions early, this had no other effect.

-Last night everything blew up; supposedly a Gold dupe made the rounds having something to do with working with a friend on cancelling auctions early, and this could also cause legitimate players to somehow lose the money they had placed bids on. This was followed by a ton of screenshots/videos of people having billions of Gold, etc.

Where this becomes a gray area is that it seems like no one will outright confirm that they've done it and it works. It's apparently super easy to edit the amount of Gold it shows that you have, BUT doing that does not actually give you the gold, just a hex edit basically. It seems like some people on GAF tried it and it didn't work, and it apparently also partially blew up because on Kripp's stream (one of the biggest players who streams all the time trying to clear HC Inferno) said that they did it and it worked. Then one of the Blizzard CM people (Bashiok) posted saying that they're looking into it, but that the gold dupe doesn't work, it's just people posting photoshops and hex edit videos as mentioned above. He said that he was wactching Kripp's stream and told him to do it. Kripp backpedaled and said that he didn't actually do it, but that a friend did and it worked.

Then there's now the conspiracy theory that it DOES exist, because Bashiok also posted that there was no hotfix rolled out last night to address that or anything, but they had to have put out a hotfix last night because late last night you are now asked if you want to be dumped into General chat or not when you login. He also said that he appreciates "the belief that server lag is secret hotfixes" which has now introduced the hilarious "lagspike hotfix" terminology.

So I dunno, it seems like there maaay be something going on, but if so seems like it's not nearly as significant as it's being made out to be. As long as we don't get a rollback and I lose that helmet kinda whatever. Also supposedly the RMAH is launching today after the maintenance which is going to be hilarious.

Edit: Well they started rolling out bans and suspensions on EU, so that's a good sign.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Yeah, Tuesday is usually the maintenance day. I wouldn't expect it to be up at 11 PDT either.

Also it looks like the US server dupe thing was an epic 4chan troll whaaaaaaat: So we all just got trolled by 4chan.. - Forums - Diablo III

tl;dr version:

Quote:

- The Asian servers are getting a rollback and the dupe was real on their end.
- The dupe never made it to the American servers
- A bunch of people jumped on the opportunity and trolled two continents

We're starting to approach Eve Online levels of meta shit here.

FELIPE NO

Yup, Tuesday is my day off during the week, and I live on the East coast so I usually can't play most of the day. It sucks. I believe it's also the WoW Maintenance day as well.

How ya doing, buddy?

You haven't even been on D3 in like a week, blow me!

Additional Spam:
RMAH is up, prices are hilariously all over the place as expected, but there is STUPID shit selling for $200-250 (cap is $250). High roll Stormshields are going for that which is expected, but sorry-ass stuff is going for way too much money, even middling shit is randomly going for $20-30. Good times. I did just score the bow below on the right for 100k; had 1 day 12 hours left to go, I'm assuming he left a zero off:



That's a pretty big upgrade for me, that damage increase there is without Sharpshooter, so my base damage without Sharpshooter is up to 36k now.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That was a cool thing to happen while you were helping me get through act 1. Glad that you came away with something awesome.

Technically, I didn't get a fucking thing worth keeping, aside from that two-handed legendary axe. All the upgrades I got were things you found. If that's how Act 1 Inferno is going to roll with the drops (for me, anyway), Act 2 isn't going to happen for a very, VERY long time. Nothing quite like handling the Butcher and then getting fucking steamrolled by the very first wasp you see.

Thanks again for the gear and the help with Act 1.

Yeah, that'll happen. MF/GF are averaged out across all players so me finding your upgrades is same difference, no worries. Even with your shit being low it was still way easier running through that with you than the AI or something.

Did everyone post their battletags in here? I combed through the thread the other day adding folks but there are some of you that I appear to have missed.

Unless, you know, you don't want to be my D3 e-buddy

Oh yeah, mine's MrDaravon#1289. Honestly when I'm on half the time I'm away frequently and/or listening to or watching something else, so just don't be offended if I don't respond or I decline to play On the bow itself I think you may be at a higher end than I am where that DPS seems low, but not only was that a decent upgrade, but everything in the AH even comparable to those stats was liked at over a million (which is why I think they left off a zero, I caught it at 1d12h left).

There's nowhere I can't reach.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Sure, but I don't think you realize how much 292 Dexterity raises my damage as a DH. I just took a look as well and there's stuff in the price range you mentioned, but almost all blues and none of them had Dex at all. Doing the math I could buy a blue for a 100k that has a base 1000 DPS but with jack shit all worth mentioning on it. Equipping that and giving up my 292 Dex would actually drop my overall unbuffed damage by about 2500, and that's not also accounting for the 160 Str and 96 Int boost on mine. Those aren't critical for my class, but armor/resist doesn't hurt and none of the stuff in the 100k range had bonuses approaching anything like that. At level 60 people will pay in the millions for a 2-3k DPS boost, and most of the weapons with stats similar to the one I got go for 1-1.5 million. So even though it's only a difference of going from about 34k DPS to 36500 DPS at this point it's worth dropping a million for that boost. I've been searching for 2H crossbows in that overall damage range multiple times per day for a while now, you're going to have to trust me on this

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I honestly have no idea, 8 of the 10 things I put up in that range were middling at best. ironically the two actually good items I put up didn't sell. It seems to be all over the place in terms of what is actually selling for people (random shit sells, awesome shit sometimes not).

I was speaking idiomatically.

Welcome to the Diablo 3 auction house!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

That seems pretty good, but honestly it's been a long time since I was 24 so I'm not sure. There does seem to be a market for mid-level on items the RMAH, but it is much smaller. I still haven't successfully sold anything else on the RMAH, despite listing decent items cheaper than anyone else, but then I see people selling middling items for $150 so I have no fucking clue. I honestly think part of it is stupid people not knowing how to properly search the AH or navigate through pages of items. I'll probably try to keep with it and keep listing items that I think should be selling along with maybe some random shit just to see if it works. If I can make literally just a couple of bucks here and there and get the game to pay for itself in a couple months or something I'll take it.

FELIPE NO

Fuck, was about to post that lol.

It's hard to say how much that will matter because if they do nerf/smooth out the difficulty in Inferno the AS% nerf may be fine.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Good shit tonight Garr and Term. Term found a Dead Man's Legacy, luckily for me it doesn't have the highly desired stats on it so I'm not too jealous. Also upgraded Garr's gear some so that was rad.

Also it's been confirmed that the patch IS hitting tomorrow, with a ridiculous 10-hour maintenance from 3am-1am Pacific, once again completely ruining my day off. We still don't know specifics outside of the general guidelines they posted on their blog a while back. We know IAS% is getting nerfed by 40-60% as posted above, but supposedly they are smoothing out Inferno difficulty, so hopefully that will balance that out. Assuming the leaked IAS values are true I'm going to drop from 43697 unbuffed damage to 37170 which isn't the end of the world, and anything they do to make Act 2-onwards not a kick in the balls will mitigate that. Luckily my weapon didn't have attack speed on it, and I already replaced my amulet with a high enough Dex where it more than made up for the loss. Both of my rings have 14% IAS as well as Dex though, getting enough Dex to completely make up for that is insanely expensive on rings so I'll just have to take the hit on that. Only other thing I have with IAS (aside from Quivers, which are not changing) is my Legendary helmet, but everything else on that is still so good that it's worth it.

Also I'm very excited that even though it's only a 2% change on average, we'll now have the ability to get level 63 items on Act 1. We did a bunch of butcher runs tonight, would have been great to potentially get better stuff ISN'T THAT RIGHT TERM

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That's weird. I don't THINK you have to have an authenticator to access the RMAH auction house for purchases, but I'm not sure.

Jessy: aside from people being stupid, I'm sure that some people buy stuff with the intention of using it to farm more effectively to get better stuff to sell themselves.

Full patch notes! http://www.diablofans.com/news/1253-...l-patch-notes/

Nether Tentacle nerf suuuuuuuuucks for Demon Hunters pretty bad, especially coupled with the IAS nerf. Back to Lightning Ball I guess? Also I don't know much about Monks, but I've seen some people say that gaining the ability to equip the other 2-handed weapons is a big deal? Also MF not affecting what pops in chests is weird.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I still think the far better way for them to handle the IAS issue was to just put a cap on it, which would have worked and not completely devalued existing items (as well as items people spent real money on).

But yeah the Nether Tentacle nerf fucking suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks hard for DH. Like, really, really bad. Wound up spending 2 million on this, only dropped my unbuffed damage by like 400 but upped my HP about 5500, hopefully this helps



Also the new repair costs are obscene.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I am finding a SHITLOAD more rares though. I found a pretty goddamn good 1-handed Barb weapon I just gave to Garr in the 20 or so minutes I played of Act 3. Also I spent maybe 2 or so hours fully clearly Act 1 from about start to finish using a set of mf/gf gear (about 120 on each without NV, ~200 with 5x NV) that nerfed me pretty bad but I still only died maybe like twice on two different hardcore mobs and once on the boss. But in that 2 hours I cleared somewhere between 300k and 400k in straight Gold, and probably around 500-800k in actually sellable AH stuff. Also on top of that I found a pretty good helmet with high All Resist that I actually put up on the RMAH for like $18 or so (looked like it would have gone for around 1-1.5 million on the Gold AH). Also every time I went back to town my inventory was usually 60+% Rares and not blues. So at least in the loot regard I'm pretty happy, already back up to like 1.2 million after blowing almost everything on that armor not a few hours ago.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Awww yeah, my biggest sell so far!





I was speaking idiomatically.

This is a pretty damn good guide for how to do a fairly quick runthrough of Act 1 for maximum Elite kills, etc. I just ran it and it took me about maybe 75-80 minutes using my non-MF/GF gear (which kinda sucks), and I cleared about 150k in gold/vendor trash, and it looks like maybe another 200-300k in realistically sellable items on the AH. Also on this run I found what appears to be a pretty fucking insane amulet, but to figure out a market price on it since there's nothing up quite like it, but it'll probably be in the millions. I don't want to post it here because it will make any 60 Barbarians very, very sad.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

That's pretty rad; I haven't looked into it in detail or the rolls, but I know that the Stormshield is pretty much the shield to get, at least for some rolls on it.

We should totally rock that Act 1 runthrough I linked above, I've done it twice now and it's been fairly successful.

FELIPE NO

Oh sorry about that, here's the link: Konvict's Guide to Act 1 Inferno Farming - Forums - Diablo III

I make one or two small variations but overall it's pretty solid. you're basically replaying most of Act 1 starting from the end, but you're skipping most chunks that have little to no elites, especially in hindsight.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

You son of a bitch. Why do you keep finding the uber DH gear that I need? Enjoy your tens of millions
