[PC] NOBDYH GVIE S A SHIT ABOUT DIABLO IIII

I'd say 2010 seems reasonable for a new game from Blizzard. Though I still wouldn't get my hopes up of it coming out too soon.

Has anyone played Mythos or have comments on it? I heard a bunch of former D2 people are working on it (and hopefully it'll turn out better than GW and Hellgate).

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I remember making a Bowadin ages ago and it was on of the most fun characters I ever had.

I found most of the fun I had was looking at all the mediocre items I had collected and deciding what sort of interesting class I could build out of it. I remember I had a staff with something like +8 to that skill that boosted mana recharge. I build a fire mage out of it, and since firewall is gay, I used Meteor and had a lot of fun mixing it with Blizzard to slow enemies down.

You guys are making me want to start experimenting again.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

For anyone not keeping tabs on Mythos (pretty much everyone but me), the latest game being developed by the guys that made D2 and Hellgate: London, here's some updates.

A few weeks ago, this was the top news story on their website, "Flagship Studios is Still Operating - 07/16/08" and it consisted of a body text of, "Flagship Studios has announced today that despite rumors to the contrary, the company is still operating." You know that's a bad sign.

A few days ago, they posted the following story.

Spoiler:

Going on Hiatus - 07/18/08
We regretfully announce that on Friday, July 18, 2008 at 11:59 CST the world of Uld known as Mythos will be going on hiatus. On behalf of all of the Devs and Community team we want to thank you to everyone for their support and assistance with Mythos Alpha and Beta testing and we hope to see you soon.

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

Anyone still have a demo code? Two of my coworkers keep telling me I need to get the game, but I'm worried I've burned myself out on the point & click games with how much time I spent on Diablo 2 to really enjoy 3.

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

I got D3 a little late (a day after Daravon gave me the demo key), but I'm pretty much going into it with the attitude it's a game to have fun with for a while, and to probably play each class to get a feel of what it's like. As of now I have absolutely no interest in getting through Inferno, especially since I can't think of one grindfest game I've ever actually enjoyed playing.





Another reason why games like L4D are so great. The only reason to play is to have fun. There's no perks to unlock, no levels to gain, and no stupid hats to find.

Why charge gold when there's real money to be made!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

They're patching this morning. When I first tried to get on it said they had maintenance scheduled from 5-8 PDT, but then when I just tried logging on at 8:15 it said it's scheduled to be back up at 11 PDT.

I was all hoping to finally start Nightmare since I just got there the other day.

Bleh, didn't know they had the servers down every Tuesday. That's just a little annoying since Tuesday morning is one of the main times I can play. =\

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

I really hope they flesh out the auction search better. Is there any reason I can't sort by ending time for an auction? Why can't I search for a list of mods or say I want something without a specific mod? I'd also be pretty down with having a Watching list or something of that sort so I can go through a whole bunch of pages and then have a chance to compare apples to apples and see what I'm getting. How about the ability to "try on" equipment before buying it?

Am I the only person that thinks these are pretty easy additions to make to the system that would make it considerably more user-friendly?

(And, while we're at it, why can't I access the auction house from in-game. )

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I had found this guy on my first character while going through Normal. Looked at what similar things were going for on the AH, and it was more than I've made through the entire game so far. Here's hoping putting that emerald will make it show up in more searches and I'll have :10bux: by the time I play again on Monday.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm still getting some sort of weird, "Digital purchasers must wait 3 days before accessing the RHAH." Is this because I don't have one of those location verifier things, and they don't have a good error message? I was hoping to at least be able to look at the auction house to see what it was even like.

How ya doing, buddy?

I'm a little bit higher than that DPS and I'm getting through Act 1 Hell (getting frustrated at the minimum level for quests since I killed the skeleton king about six times before gaining a level) without much trouble. I don't think I've spent more than $5k on any piece of equipment yet and in party games I'm doing at least my fair share of damage. I did have some issues going solo when I hit a particularly nasty mob with certain stat bonuses. Think there was one with invincible minions and arcane enchanted which I couldn't slip by that made me bail on the game. Currently I'm sitting around $250k in stash after buying all the pages of the stash and upgrading the blacksmith/jeweler like an idiot.

Are you guys as annoyed as I am with how the AH has completely made low-level gems worthless? I can buy the a perfect square gem (or whatever the one is that's sitting around 350 gold) for cheaper than I can do any sort of upgrading. Why even include the low level stuff when they're so far from even being necessary? 13 tiers of gems is a joke.

Also, totally agree with the question about set items. Is anyone using them?

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

Found my first unique today. Figures it was on my new character and a level 10 helm for witchdoctors.

Gotta say gems not putting a level requirement on equipment has made starting a new character somewhat of a joke. As soon as you get a socketable weapon just throw in a square+ ruby and one shot everything. I went from 40 dps to about 190 just by doing that, lol.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Trying to figure out if I'm having more fun playing the game or just doing auction shenanigans. Nothing like buying a bow for 2k gold and reselling it for 120k within an hour. I just wonder if people on the RMAH are this dumb.

Edit: Just logged on after not being on for a few hours and saw my 15 minutes of AH shopping, socketing with 100 gold gems and relisting got me 200k. Not bad for my max character being level 53, and being unable to farm properly. Let's see how an investment of about $20k and ten minutes turns out over the next day.

How ya doing, buddy?

Nice that they finally added respeccing in D2. I remember getting to level 30 and only spending, like, 6 skill points because I wanted to pump as many level 30 skills as possible. The skills synergy system they added was also neat, though I had burned out on the game by that point.

FELIPE NO

Wizard - Game Guide - Diablo III

I think that's the build I was using on my wizard. I really liked Impactful Wave because wizards are so darned squishy and this would let me get out of pretty much any situation where I'm surrounded when combined with Diamond Skin.

I think I got up to level 53 or so before I lost interest in the character, and I was still doing pretty decent damage. I was able to hold my own in single player with no real problem, but I just didn't feel like grinding for exp, so I started a DH.

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

Was talking to a friend and apparently his roommate had been botting the game for a few weeks now. The game was making him roughly $10 an hour on autopilot. He's made over $1600 in the RMAH.

Skill tree looks inspired by FFX.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I like how Blizzard didn't decide to notify people about the security breach via e-mail. You know, for all the people that have quit the game and might not hear about it except through way of mouth. Also kinda regretting buying the digital copy now. =\

We don’t think they fit well into the general philosophy of the game, which is more about trying to farm as efficiently as possible.

Not sure if that line from the update strikes anyone else as a weird thing for the point of a game.

I don't think there's a thread for it, but a lot of people keep mentioning Borderlands 2, so here's a coupon that seems to be a pretty good deal on the preorder.

Borderlands 2 (Steam Code) Pre-Order for $40.00 - downloads, video-games, pc-game

$40 for the preorder with steam code and extra content you get with steam prepurchase. It's making me pretty tempted, though I'm still kinda wary with how disappointed I was with the last game.

When I was first playing it the multiplayer on PC was broken, so I couldn't connect to any multi games. Also, each of the classes felt like the played practically identical, lack of real difficulty, 99.9% of the guns being shit, and the skill trees being trash. I was mostly hoping for a Diablo 2 FPS and felt it didn't really deliver that experience.

I'm probably not going to get it since looking at skill trees and whatnot I'm not seeing what the huge difference is between the first and what they're putting out now.

I was speaking idiomatically.

The one thing that would actually be nice about all these level 60s grinding away forever is you can probably get all sorts of gear for cheap on the AH. I remember when I played through, not long after the game was released, I don't think I wore one thing I found on my own for any significant amount of time. Most items of worth were for other classes, so I'd sell them for a bit of money, then buy things for myself with the leftovers.

I did like my trick of buying pretty good weapons with an empty socket, dropping in a ruby I bought to up the DPS, and then reselling it for, like, 10-20x what I paid for it. Paid the bills easily until I hit level 60 with my first character.

Edit: I wonder if they're eventually going to add in a transmute ability. Or something to let you sell/salvage stuff outside of running back to town.
