[PC] NOBDYH GVIE S A SHIT ABOUT DIABLO IIII

I'm ecstatic about Diablo III. I was kinda stunned that they were announcing this, considering their splash a few days ago looked like the eyes of the Lich King. GOT ME AGAIN, BLIZZARD.

Can't wait to see the Sorc in action.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The third class, the Wwwyzzerdd, has been revealed. Looks like Sorceress 2.0.

Also, a world map. No word yet on whether hippogriffs or wyverns will be the main method of travel.

How ya doing, buddy?

I can't believe this thread is three-and-a-half years old.

Anyway, I played through the first Beta quest and was pleased with it. In case it wasn't clear to anyone initially, Health orbs do drop but so do Health potions, and you can use Health potions on the fly, but there's a cooldown on them. This was important when I was approaching the Beta boss and I got swarmed. I was a bit alarmed to have to flee and wait for the cooldown to lapse, but it was a good learning experience and it's something to get used to, instead of just spamming potions like in Diablo II.

Otherwise, gameplay was great fun, brilliant atmosphere, played a lot like a merger of Diablo II and Torchlight. Anyone else play it?

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

I'll take a guest code if someone has one to spare

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

No thanks, Iwata hooked me up.

I was speaking idiomatically.

WoW was all about gear dependency at the highest levels, too.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

And here I was a few days ago thinking to myself, "Man, I'm glad I didn't climb aboard that boat."

I mean, I'm still kinda glad about it, but if they can keep the game fresh long-term...we'll see, I guess.

Most amazing jew boots

So I bought this game (and preordered the expansion). Have I missed the boat completely or does anyone (besides Mo0, apparently?) still play this game?

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

With the 2.0.1 patch, this game went from being slightly tedious to HOLY SHIT I HAVE TO STOP AND KILL EVERYTHING BECAUSE I NEED TO UPGRADE MY SHIT. The difficulty scale (which felt appropriate before) is now tied to a much better loot drop rate, and I've seen a dozen or so legendaries in maybe ten hours of play. At level 57 though, it seems the upgrades aren't dropping as often, and now I find myself generally stopping only for elites and champions. I had the difficulty up to expert, but it was slowing me down and I wasn't seeing the kinds of drops I would've expected for that level, despite the increased difficulty, so I have it back to hard again. I may increase it again as I get into the 60s.

For me, it was both. I was pleased with all the loot I was getting until I got to level 70, then the good drops stopped dropping. The loot really starts coming on higher Torment difficulties, but since I haven't been able to bring my Wizard up to a decent enough DPS to go past Torment I by myself, I tried starting a Monk to spice things up. Nope. I haven't played in two weeks, and once Watch Dogs comes out it'll be a while before I get back into it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I will agree that the experience between vanilla D3 and post-RoS is night and day. They've trimmed 90% of the bullshit out of the game, and it's more worth the purchase now than it was three-plus months ago.
