Season 12 Diablo 3 LeaderBOTard Check #1: THE AMERICAS server
OK guys the time has come, we need to check the leaderboard for top clears as well as BOTS! It's a pretty massive research here, so i decided to split videos into FOUR parts, 3 parts for each server + 1 video to summarize it all. Let's start with americas!
Such videos usually erupt a lot of butthurt and flame, but this is normal. If we just sit and stay slient, botting problem will grow even further and it will be impossible to stop. ALL MAJOR STREAMERS and YOUTUBE CREATORS must unite and support and help the community and the developers to win the war against botters.

Alright guys, starting a fight about hud and other things while we are desperate about something to be done against the botters is just silly.
Take that bs to a new post, if you don't see the big problem in the game with the botting and start arguing about hud and other things when the post is about botting you clearly don't care about the game.
@Angry_Roleplayer I am 100% clean and stream diablo 3 6 days per week.
I can get a rank 1 without anything, infact I got rank 1 taken from me by a bot season 8, why are we talking about hud and stuff here though?
It's about botting, help us man, focus on this first since this is the main issue with the game atm.
I just want us all to come together and fix this issue first and then we can talk about hud, helper and other shit.

Dear D3 Community and Blizzard Entertainment,
We want to talk about something which affects our community, our gaming motivation and mostly our game joy. And the thing is, everyone knows there is a big silence about this issue when it comes to developer side. But with a little hope, we thought it’s time to raise our voice about;
Botting.
For D3’s current state, there is a huge difference between botting and playing legimately when it comes to competition. The advantage of botting is significant and cannot be ignored. We know game’s current state is not like the other popular Blizzard games, but at least we deserve an answer or improvement-solution about it. For our community and Diablo franchise..
Because this discussion not only affecting the leaderboard and unfair competition, also causes our legit players being desperate and having argument with whoever using bots. Even our clans atmosphere and friendly spirit is getting destroyed only because of botting discussions.
In conclusion;
As European clans, we are gathered to show our state against botting, and here is the list of our clans which are against botting and expecting a solution about it;
[WQW] – Quantum Warriors
[Hybrid] – The Hybrids
[ZE] – Zero Emphaty
[PiratE] – The Pirates
[DoW] – DemonsOfWind
[EoD] – Eye of Demons
[VoiD] – VoiD
[D3OC] - The Outcast
And hopefully many mores are on the way..
All of our listed clans are approved, and not accepting botters (still and no more) And we did our jobs which were extra weight on our shoulders if you consider..
Lastly, we are appreciated about patch 2.6.1 changes. Game balance is getting much better, and we thought it’s not too much to expect same thing about having fair competition environment from our game developers aswell.
Best regards.

But using TurboHud is fine? Since I know plenty of people in all of those listed clans use that software.
No I am not defending botting but using TurboHud is also clearly an unfair advantage.
Disgusting to see how people brag about their Xp per hour on livestream while doing speed 110's or knowing elite packs behind doors. etc etc. (not listing any names, you can figure out yourselves.)
balance is still not close to be fine how you state it. all people search in communities is 2 rathmas, 1 zbarb 1 znecro.
nice meta change. nothing changed.

BRAVO for kicking the botters.
next step : D3 helper user/script users. hello haters.

That is an interesting point to discuss. It's easy to agree with that (as was my first intuition - running rifts and rifts and rifts is boring), but then, what's the alternative? Running the same areas over and over again as in D2 was even more boring. I personally think that rifts are better than re-running the story countless times.Quote from UncleDan2017»
Give me D4. I want an entirely new game, and something other than Rifts, rifts, and more rifts in a game.

I have started collecting farming data on Goblins, in order to better track down Rainbow Goblins. Over the last 10 days I have run 32 different maps 10 times each, doing full clears until I find a goblin or run out of places to look. I'm posting my results to help people decide which maps to run, but keep in mind that clear times are the important thing, and we are all going to have different clear times.
I chose maps that I've heard people talk about in goblin farming communities, Both good and bad.
Act 1:
1. Festering Woods - 11/100 (1 Rainbow Goblin)
2. Cathedral 1 - 31/100 (1 Rainbow Goblin)
3. Leoric's Passage - 30/100
4. Cathedral 2 - 14/100
5. Cathedral 3 - 16/100
6. Cathedral 4 - 21/100
7. Royal Crypts - 17/100
8. Southern Highlands - 9/100
9. Cave of the Moon Clan Level 1 - 25/100
10. Cave of the Moon Clan Level 2 - 29/100 (2 Rainbow Goblins)
11. Northern Highlands - 48/100
12. Leoric's Hunting Ground - 26/100
13. Fields of Misery - 0/100
Act 2:
14. Howling Plateau - 36/100 (1 Rainbow Goblin)
15. Stinging Winds - 21/100
16. Ancient Waterways West Level 1 - 13/100 (1 Rainbow Goblin)
17. Ancient Waterways West Level 2 - 19/100
18. Ancient Waterways East Level 1 - 16/100
19. Ancient Waterways East Level 2 - 17/100 (1 Rainbow Goblin)
20. Dahlgur Oasis - 0/100
Act 3:
21. The Battlefields - 18/100
22. The Fields of Slaughter (Bridge of Korsikk Waypoint) - 17/100
23. Rakkis Crossing - 29/100
24. Underbridge - 16/100 (1 Rainbow Goblin)
25. Tower of the Damned Level 1 - 39/100
27. Heart of the Damned - 11/100
28. Core of Arreat - 33/100
29. Stonefort - 17/100
Act 4:
30. Gardens of Hope Level 1 - 31/100
31. Gardens of Hope Level 2 - 13/100
Act 5:
32. Pandemonium Fortress Level 1* - 46/100 (1 Rainbow Goblin)
*Pandemonium Fortress Level 1 had 23 Goblin Encounters, for a total of 46 Goblins. This level contains 0 or 2 Goblins.
Total Rainbow Goblin Encounters = 9
Total Goblin Encounters = 651
Please feel free to test out maps and post results as well, 100 is a fairly small sample size and I'd love for more people to collect goblin data.
The next step in the process of determining which routes to take, or which single map to run, would come down to clear times. Clear times are basically from Clicking "Start Game" until the next time you can click "Start Game." Loading in AND out is part of clear times and has a huge impact on single map runs! I'd love to start posting average times of different class' farming setups to help people pick a class and route... but that will be a project for the future.
TL;DR -
Goblins are most common on these individual maps: Tower of the Damned, Core of Arreat, Gardens of Hope Level 1, Cathedral Level 1, Leoric's Passage, Northern Highlands, and Pandemonium Level 1.
Goblins are also fairly common in these multi-level maps: Ancient Waterways, Rakkis Crossing + Underbridge, Cave of the Moon Clan.
The frequency of encountering goblins does matter, but only when balanced with clear times.

Based on these thoughts I made a hybrid that's improved on criticism and suggestions.
Version 2.0:
EPIC RELICS
A new system besides Kanai's Cube and Legendary gems to increase the build variety and the excitement of the looting.
-The Relic may be taken away from the item and used into another item by an expensive recipes. Costs 1 to 3 Consumables(?)
Primals COULD have one extra Relic or something alike but only if community agrees.
The recipes would mean that people could upgrade their old items with high price.
The Relic removing cube recipe should be so expensive that there would be a time when player might use the weaker legendary just to get the Revelation bonus. Even the unused legendaries would have a chance to be used if they form a powerful Revelation.
NOTE! The Revelations are currently way out of balance! They must be weighted carefully.

Well, now they announced PTR forums are closing.
So, there was no change, nor communication from their side, based on player feedback in the last 3 weeks.

Ahh, I would help you, but I'm on EU server.
Based on your profile I see you are on US.

Either the dataminer gave up on the game, or there are no changes that could be seen in the datamine...

...really makes me sad about the future of D3.
At the beginning of this PTR phase we had an occasional blue post on PTR forums, for the last 2 weeks there practically was no real "conversation" with them regarding where they wanna go with items/sets/skills/classes.
Even the last 2 PTR patches (where it seems they mainly did hidden nerfs), we didn't get any patch notes...
Makes me feel, that we as players are practically not important to them anymore.
Your thoughts?
And yes, I understand it's their game and they can do whatever they want with it, however, they stated by themselves that they need to improve communication with the community, but it seems to just get worse.

Go make your season journeys and you can unlock up to 10 stash tabs on your account (each season 1)...
I have 10 stash tabs and all 6 classes with corresponding legendaries. Guess how hard it is for me to keep it all "organized"...

Not really. Here something though:
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/19941044/patch-240-ptr-preview-11-6-2015#_Revised_UI
In short, if a skill on the bar gives a timed buff there will be the green minibar above the skill icon. Multiple Mantras, buffs from pylons and so on will be aggregated together (you can hover mouse over it and see a list of them), so buffs like CoE, F+R and similar will always be visible.

Yeah, and don't roll away the damage range on your weapon...
He rolled away damage range on relentless assault for area damage, if you didn't notice...

You get a new lvl 0 gem in the next rift (if you don't have a copy of it already). You can test this by putting one gem on the floor in town before you enter a GR, so you will get another one of the type you dropped on the floor. That's how people pile up gems for augmenting.

That roll. Still, no AD, scrap it
