[PC] NOBDYH GVIE S A SHIT ABOUT DIABLO IIII

The gameplay footage looks really good. I hope they bring back the assassin class, or at least something similar to it. I can't wait to play this in 2016.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The whole battle.net/grinding/farming culture with the game is pretty silly. Once you figure out that the game is really about building and experimenting with the various character classes and skill trees, it becomes a lot more fun. For example, would you have more fun rushing a character just to get a high enough level to boss farm, or starting a dagger barbarian and fighting your way up to hell difficulty. And yes, I have a dagger barb in single player who is in the high 70s - low 80s. I've had a necromancer {and sorceress for that matter} who used a Stormshield and had 75% block. Hell, my favorite build is a skeleton necromancer. His primary skills are maxed by the time you hit level 50 and he is one of the least equipment dependent builds available.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well, I wasn't that far off.

How ya doing, buddy?

Already loving the fact that I have to sign in just to play by myself. I just want to play a little solo, but due to excellent design, I am unable to do so because of overloaded servers. Awesome. Maybe once the game lets me play, I will enjoy it. Next week.

How ya doing, buddy?

So you guys have figured out that a DPS Demon Hunter with Bola Shot+Volatile Explosives turns normal acts 3 and 4 is joke mode right? I'm starting Nightmare tonight and am interested to see if it is still going to be useful.

The Wizard started getting useful for me once I unlocked Electrocute. Shortly after that, it began inheriting decent equipment from my other characters, so there was a pretty significant jump in killing power and survival in the span of just a few levels.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

If you had played Diablo II online, you would understand that this is common.

That's generally what I do. I check every few levels to see if I can improve my weapon and various armor pieces significantly, set my search parameters (usually experience per kill+, vit+, and sockets where applicable), and 15000 buyout. I have a lot of luck with that, which I imagine is me buying hand-me-downs from higher level guys who just upgraded and want a quick turnaround on their auctions.

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

I figured they would just charge you two bucks to unlock a tab and 50 a row from there.

That doesn't seem like a low DPS to me, considering that most times that I look, there are only half a page or so 1000+ DPS weapons (in the categories I look for).

There's nowhere I can't reach.

What were the approximate stats and item type of that item you sold for nearly $4? Just to give me an idea of which items I should be throwing stuff up on the RMAH instead of the gold one and expect to actually sell.

Most amazing jew boots

That's exactly what seems to happen to me on the gold auction house. Third highest DPS wand for that level currently on the auction house for a reasonable price? Doesn't sell. Some middling rare bracer with one good (but not great) stat offered for about double what it should be worth? Sold within minutes of going up.

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

Dagget, I wouldn't mind doing some Hell with you. I've got a 58 Demon Hunter in Act 3, but wouldn't mind at all dropping down to an earlier act. I'll be on in a few hours probably and will send you a friend req.

I wouldn't mind joining in on some of the Inferno action either, with my 60 wizard. I'm probably only a liability above act 1 at this point though.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

The auction house can be hilarious sometimes, and it is all about timing. I bought a blue hand crossbow with 876 dps, +117 dex, +40 vit for 50k. A couple of hours later, I am able to buy a yellow hand crossbow with 869 dps, +170 dex, and a little hatred regen for 50k (time remaining on this auction was 1d 12h, great timing). Since this one does more effective damage due to the bump in dex, the previous crossbow is now obsolete. I manage to sell it for 300k.

FELIPE NO

One thing he doesn't do is exit the southeast side of Leoric's Manor, which I think always has an elite (and sometimes a champion pack).

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

What is your pre-Sharpshooter DPS with that crossbow?

Also, is it wrong that I want to get the Natalya chest piece just because it looks so good on the character, not being its stats are good?

I read that they made the changes today. It is going to be interesting and I imagine suppress item values (read: auction house prices) significantly. I don't know if that is a good thing or bad thing, the way the game works.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

One could argue that the biggest mistake they made was in drastically altering player progression from the way it worked in Diablo 2. In D2, you farmed to get good items to equip your next character with. In other words, you would have your magic find sorceress accumulating gear while actually playing the game with <insert character>. You would start a fresh assassin, or barb, or whatever, and make yourself a shopping list of gear that you want to equip the character with. "Well, I'm doing a dual claw, tiger strike assassin, so I'm going to need a Vamp Gaze, Shaftstop, and a couple of Bartucs to get me through nightmare for sure. Time to go shopping."

This time around, what reason would a person have to start a new character of a class they've already sent to 60? It isn't like you could change your attribute allocation this time around, and being able to change your skills on the fly has the same effect.

I guess farming to find stuff to sell on the RMAH would be reason to keep playing, but if the player base vanishes, what few people who are left will quickly outfit their five characters with the best gear, and that market will crater.

How ya doing, buddy?

Don't worry, I'm sure all of it was witch doctor gear.

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

Just finished act 1 Inferno with my barb, with minimal problems while playing solo. A couple of champion packs in the areas ahead of the Butcher were problematic, but otherwise I was good. Beat the Butcher on my first attempt.

Started act 2 and proceeded to get rolled by wasps.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I've taken a monk, wizard, demon hunter, and barb to 60, and taken the barb and monk to act 2 inferno. Here is my problem with the game. My barb and monk absolutely roll through act 1 solo. They can barely survive in act 2. I understand that inferno is supposed to be difficult, but come on, if I can dominate act 1, I should be able to at least compete in act 2.

To you guys who are quitting, I suggest selling everything you have on RMAH while you still can get some value out of it. If you decide in X months that you want to pick it back up, I can bet that you can re-outfit for a tenth of current prices.

How ya doing, buddy?

Got my monk to Act 3. I basically face tanked Kulle and Belial, then got brutalized by the first elite pack in act 3. I can't handle 47 simultaneous arcane sentries. Sadly, the only way I can upgrade my gear is by spending hundreds of millions of gold that I simply don't have, and I am not sure I am willing to run the same stretch of act 1 all day every day just to afford a good weapon.

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

Sweet, just sold my wizard's off hand source for $25, netting me $20. That ups my total RMAH proceeds to $65.
