    posted a message on Exp Farming Capabilities

    I'm a solo player who doesn't really pay attention to the pro strategies, so I was more than a little shocked when I checked out my friend's D3 profile when we were both online. He has three Season 4 characters--a lvl 70 WD that had been played for 2.5 hours, a lvl 70 Wizard that had only 20 minutes clocked, and a DH with 91 hours. His Season Paragon lvl was 596 (compared to his regular Paragon of about 400).


    I can understand the Wizard getting power rushed, and the WD, especially after adding in the Paragon...but holy crap, how does ANYONE get nearly 600 Paragon in less than 100 hours? What's the secret? My clearly uncivilized mind keeps concluding on bots, especially seeing that he is constantly logging off every twenty minutes only to come back on five minutes later. Tell me he's cheating, that I can't be this much out of the loop.

    Sure, here you go. I just quit, so it may not be updated.


    And yes, he's seasonal. I managed to make it to GR14, and won thanks to a Conduit shrine (just took the gems, no reason to try a GR15).

    posted a message on HC Monk Stuck in T1

    Hey all. I've never been a pro player. I see people nonchalantly referencing characters builds and items and talking about how they dominated T6 three days into the new season and...well, that's not me. I don't even play with others, strictly solo. In any RPG or MMO, I always go with what sounds fun, not with what works. Now it's Season 3, and I want those cosmetic rewards (for 400 Achievement Points), but there's no way in Hell I can get those points playing as I have been.


    Don't know why, but I started with a HC Monk. Probably thought the full achievement list would be available as in previous Seasons and wanted to knock out the HC and SC ones in one go. My GR limit is Rank 11, the Champions/Rares of Torment 1 tend to make me go all-out to beat. I've put in some 10 hours in the last few days, but have hardly progressed at all--GR11 was my starting point, and several equipment changes later I'm still stuck there. I even looked at preferred Monk skills and changed much of my skills, to not much difference.


    I guess my problem is...what do I do? Do I need to just accept I need allies? Should I stop worrying about Rifts and do runs of a preferred location in search of loot (though I don't think location changes potential drops, just the monsters)? Are there...ugh...specific Monk items I should be exclusively searching for and using?


    Thanks in advance.

    It was a near vote for Rolling into stuff but I had to go for couch co-op. As someone who loves to play co-op with his friends, going online has nothing against sitting right next to each other. Besides, it also makes it easier because we all don't need the hardware and a copy of the game.

    posted a message on Linux Bans?
    Hey all. I doubt anybody remembers me, I was here in the months leading up to the D3 release. Well, after several setbacks I finally was able to get a gaming desktop and can finally play Diablo 3 (the collector's edition has been sitting on my desk since the midnight launch).

    Well, almost. I had to skip out on a few things to keep from going completely broke...a disc drive (planned to reuse one, turns out there's no IDE ports on my motherboard. Have to get a SATA disc drive.), a new hard drive, and an OS. Can't reuse my old one apparently without formatting it.

    I remember people being banned for using Linux/Wine. How are those bans going? Where they lifted and did it stop happening, or did they turn out not to be real bans and that people were cheating? Thanks for any answers.

    Oops, meant to put this in the Technical Support forum...sorry!

    posted a message on [Official] Release Date Speculation Thread
    Quote from Flur

    The release date is not going to be in April. Sorry guys, I don't see Blizzard not allowing two months of head room for a release. They love those two months. It's going to be either May or June. I stick by my original thought which is May 16th 2012. Obviously this is a Wednesday, but I have my reasons.

    Well, the majority of the CE's items are probably complete (the making of DVD/Blu-Ray was probably completed only a short while ago, if not closing now) and since the game is always online, they could afford to risk having a small update on first-run*, so the discs could have been in production for a few weeks already.

    *There aren't any serious updates coming before release, since the delaying of PVP. Creating the game discs now and having a small update when you're done installing the game won't take up too much time, if any for a lot of people, as I believe they said they were going to have pre-downloaders available.

    I'd say at best, depending on the amount of updates there are going to be when we start, the release could be between early April and mid-May. If the game has a ton of updates at first-run (the discs were printed months ago) the game could come out early April, if not before.

    posted a message on If there is a Diablo IV, what would you want it to be about.
    I'd want there to be two factions to choose from, each with similar classes. Your characters can be either an angel or demon and you have to fight the now-prevalent Nephalem race, defeating their strongest and key warriors. Depending on your character's faction, you also have to fight angels or demons, as well as the Nephalem's created creatures, and the classes we've played as throughout the years (Necromancers, Witch Doctors, Barbarians, Assassin's...etc., etc). The story's characters also changes depending on your character, but locations and the majority of roles and quests are the same.

    The gameplay style is much the same as the rest of the Diablo series, except for online play the two factions can't play together. The game should also incorporate things from lightly touched Diablo lore, such as a fight with Bartuc the Bloody's spirit/armor and a battle with Trag'Oul (or whatever the great Dragon's name is) as he extends part of himself into the physical world to stop the balance from being thrown off completely.

    posted a message on Idea for the future because I don't want it to be longer...
    I think they tried that once, but it quickly became a hassle trying to create so many animations for every weapon class.

    posted a message on Development is Taking too Long
    This is what I think about whenever I see someone complaining about Diablo 3's development taking too long or that they have to wait three whole months to play it or they didn't into the Beta again even though they totally deserve it and are a super-fan.

    Rage all you want, I don't care. To anyone agreeing with me, I agree with you.

    posted a message on Problems with D2 on Win 7-64bit anyone?
    Download the files from Blizzard's website/store and run the install/download packs in compatibility mode. Just doing it to the game when loading it won't work.

    Or you could use Glide and see if that works. It's usually used for the color problems, but it may help.

    And Mila Jojovich of course!
    She can be Diablo because it's kind of like having clones.

    posted a message on ACHIEVEMENTS
    We haven't had the full list released yet. There are a few for the Beta (Which were broken until the newest patch), but judging by the amount in the Beta (12, I think?) there will be plenty in D3.
