[PC] NOBDYH GVIE S A SHIT ABOUT DIABLO IIII

I've been in beta for a while and only recently I've had the chance to mess with it seriously. I've never really played a Diablo game until this and it was good enough to keep my interest away from Warcraft for a while.

Real Money Auction House is going to be interesting to see what's going on with that too. I don't plan on being a "Diablo 3 Billionaire" but I'm hoping to cover my WoW sub cost, maybe make a few extra bucks to get some games here and there.

I really loved playing Demon Hunter. The snares were taking a bit getting used to but once I figured everything out, I was tearing through some of the monsters. Haven't messed with Barbarian/Amazon a whole hell of a lot.

My life will become even less socialized on May 15th, as well.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It looks like some places have broke street date and have been shipping them out (it could be just a generic warehouse picture.. as indicated by the link...):

There's nowhere I can't reach.

When did you try to run the beta? Beta servers closed down on the 1st with the game coming out next week.

Kinda makes me wonder, since the game is going to be online at all times (while having an active battle.net account)... how people who pirate it will be able to play. Unless someone's crafty enough to "unlock" the game to be able to play offline? I dunno, just hope that there won't be any "cheaters" and try to flood the AH with dupe items and gold and the such.

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

Diablo III- Wrath

A little anime treat from Blizzard.

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

Back home and finally installing the game. The Limited Edition guide is pretty beefy and will give me some nice reading material while waiting on servers to pop up. Apparently they aren't doing it midnight each time zone and US will launch at 12 am PDT. Blah.

I was speaking idiomatically.

It was pretty hilarious to read all the reviews left on amazon and metacritic giving 1s because of the no offline mode as well as servers being unstable at launch. It's a Blizzard game... when are launches smooth with them? heh.

Now the most recent "bitch" is that some kid in Asia beat the normal mode in 7 hours. So therefore the game is now "too easy" and a "waste of $60". lol.

I've been having fun with it so far. I personally can't wait until Blizzard implements Battletags in place of Real ID soon... which is something they should have done in the first place instead of real first and last names, but meh.

Just beat the Skeleton King and put a Rare in my stash chest. BIG MONEY HERE I COME!!! (lewl)

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Been playing around with Demon Hunter. Level 30 now and on Act 3. Shit got brutal and fast... well fast. Haven't had much luck finding drops that I can use. Plenty of shit for witch doctors and barbarians and classes NOT ME. Nightmare mode is going to be interesting. Hopefully I can find some actual rares and legendaries that I can use. If not I suppose they'll get saved for whenever the Real Money Auction House gets up and running.. if ever.

FELIPE NO

They're probably trying to quell the "AMG I WAS HACKEDED!!11" shit first before bringing in the Real Money Auction House. Which I somehow knew that it wouldn't take long after the game launched for that to happen in the first place.

Authenticators are a pretty nice investment, but it also helps that if some people were not stupid and bought gold from gold sellers from 3rd party websites or too lazy to level and buy power leveling services, or heaven forbid not keep a clean PC or even being royally stupid and clicking on emails that say they can get free stuff if they enter their info including secret question answers and passwords.

But of course, that's all "Blizzard's Fault" I suppose amirite?

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

Sometimes all it takes is for them to get your email address and then brute force your account. They actually wanted to pack them in with Cataclysm, but there are people whining about them being "mandatory" and why should they be forced to use them when "stupid people" can't keep their PCs clean and all that jazz.

I wish they would pack them in with their games. Just bump the price up $10 and bam, authenticators. But I've had one since before Wrath when my sister's account got snaked. Didn't want to take the chance of mine being that way too.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Wouldn't it put it past Blizzard doing that, actually. :P Well if there's a public server exploit, I'm not touching public games. I'll just join up with real ID/battletag friends.

With that exploit though, it makes sense now why Blizzard has it set about if you're hacked once with the RMAH, you're required to get an authenticator before you can use it again. If it happens again, its permanently disabled. Yeah, that's something they need to get fixed fast.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm still in nightmare mode. Haven't even got the crown yet. I keep farming the area to see if I luck out and get some decent drops. Died to champions and elites a good 10 times already. Havin' a blast myself.

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

My gear and stats are pretty awful right now. I just spent 8,000g on a 1h handbow that doubled what my 2h-er did. The buyouts on some of this shit are ludicrous. I think my dps is something like 525 or something like that. I'll just keep at it. :P

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

I just hit 35 earlier today, been bouncing around between D3, WoW and Mists beta, so that's why I'm not as far in D3 as most everyone else is.

I just farm that area before the crown crypts. Unless there's a better place to farm for my level?

I was speaking idiomatically.

There's my scrub stats.



And for some reason it wants to be a pain in the ass and be tiny sooo:

Str: 189
Dex: 369
Int: 250
Vit: 358

Armor: 970

DPS: 534.44


yeeeeea, scrub.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I would buy stuff if people didn't charge asinine prices. :P 2 million gold for a yellow that looked shitty. I just bought a pair of pants that had about 20 more dex than what I have on. I'll start regemming my stuff for dex too.

FELIPE NO

I've been selling some rares that have been collecting dust (and I know I won't use them any time soon) to get a little stockpile of money going. Bought a pair of boots that had like 80 dex compared to the 20-ish my current ones have, have to go up a level to use them though.

I'll probably farm the skeleton king to see what all goodies I can get. Probably not a lot in Nightmare mode but if I can sell it then it'll be worth it.

btw, anyone wants to add me: lagmoose#1212. You'll find me either on Diablo or WoW.

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

Nah, I think I've been buying better recently, but I appreciate it! I know the 1h bow I have does like 84.7 damage. I'll eventually learn how to play a game the way it's supposed to be, one day. :P

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah the bow I have doesn't have any Dex on it at all, but I've been making up for it by actually finding useful shit now. Found a rare ring: Empty Star.

Str: 39
Dex: 37
Vit: 46
+30 life each hit.

It has a socket too. So I put Dex in that?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Eh, playing WoW for almost 7 years, I'm used to a level cap. That doesn't really bother me, I'm sure whether in a huge content patch or an expansion, they'll raise it more. Whenever that will be, heh.

After upgrading some stuff, I'm playing through the first part of Nightmare with ease. Waiting to save up about 200k before I blow 100k on a new tab for my stash. Kinda sucks farming Skeleton King as he has yet to drop a rare quality item and it's all been magic quality so far, but at least I'm surviving! General chat has also been kinda lulful, with the exception of gold spam. Not nearly as heinous as I'd thought it would be.

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

Yeah, you can sell gold for real money. However people are still going to 3rd party sites to buy gold. Sadly, they think it's ok to do that since gold is sold in the RMAH and then get upset when they get "hacked".

I guess I'd need to start farming massive amounts of gold if I plan on making any kind of money from the RMAH, which even after Blizzards 30% cut (15% transaction and 15% processing for funds going into paypal and not Battle.net Fund) won't be a whole hell of a lot.

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

I just beat Butcher on Nightmare. I still have a lot of farming to do for better gear it seems.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I've yet to sell anything and I've been finding some ridiculously good rares lately. No Legendaries yet.

Also has anyone else had a problem with gold spammers wanting to add you to friends lists?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Finally finished Nightmare mode. On to Hell now for gearing up and farming. Any tips?

Also the Staff of Herding plan. Does it drop off of Normal Izual, or does it have to be another difficulty? Would having MF on help increase the chance of it dropping?

FELIPE NO

I know I'm probably a lonely scrub since I just hit 52, but anyone wanna do some Hell mode sometime later? I need to work on my gear a lot, but I've been finding some good stuff here and there. Also: fuck jailor and arcane.

How ya doing, buddy?

Sounds good. I've got some stuff to take care of in the house and cook and all that good shit. My gear is absolutely awful, but I'm going through act 1 hell trying to find some decent stuff to sell and make gold from.

Two pieces away from making that Staff of Herding (finally got Izual to drop the book) I just need the bell and the rainbow. Yay cow level.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
