It says you have max 25 movement speed from items so I guess you can have more movement speed then 25 if you spend your paragon points on the movement speed atribute right?
Quote from reclaimer3235
I feel bad for all the people that spend ages farming and buying BiS just for it to be made useless now because of caps :D.
Its a case of. " Mr.X played for time to time and got great gear, Mr Y played all the time and got Insane BiS gear. Now here comes Mr Statscap with a kick in the teeth to Mr Y, Now Mr X is as good as Mr Y. I love it.
Quote from Vulmio
MF on gear right now is almost useless. Even without a cap, it would be almost negligible because the MF we get from other sources (parangon/NV5/mp) is huge compared to what we can get from gear (getting only 100MF would require 6 MF affixes, 5 if perfect affixes).

"ItemCannotBeEnchantedSocketable - The mystic cannot enchant socketable items."
What exactly is that about?
Quote from Game Over
Cap can work but I feel they are set to low already from this thread many builds will not work with the changes h0w does that help build diverstity by removing build options? My main wizz has arround 88 ias from items [...]

Quote from Bagstone
Happy to see crit hit chance cap lowered to 40%. Also 250% crit hit damage cap is also good. This will make gearing more interesting as it's not just "trifecta all the way".
A bit disappointed to still see the MF cap at 300%
Remember, all those caps are "from items". PLvl, MP, skills, passives....all those can go over the cap (I'm assuming, because it specifically says "from items").
Quote from Lehetetlen
But there Is official word on it, paragon levels will only provide the paragon points nothing else, read the quoted blue post, what is so hard to comprehend? With MF/GF they have 3 options add it under the Adventuring tab, roll it into NV or make players gear for it again.
Quote from Medea
Always-online does not make for a stronger multi-player experience - one player in the game with a degraded connection causes problems for the other players in the group.
Quote from Medea
I also don't need the game saving my character to the server as often. The only real reason for the amount of "persistent server-side character saves" was for the players who used RAH and, especially, GMAH to buy gear for their characters.
Quote from Medea
(As a related side-note, who on Earth does Blizzard think its fooling about cheat prevention? Cheating and duping and other shenanigans are still very prevalent in the game. Always-online has done little in protecting against cheating.)

You're either exaggerating your numbers and/or extremely unlucky.
The chance for primals is roughly 0.25% (on average, one in 400 legendaries is a primal).

I actually like it. Oculus+Triune power ring make all monsters explode, it's essentially a Power Pylon. I've also seen a lot of complaints about melee classes not being able to benefit from it, but I disagree: since the circles always appear next to the monster you hit, it's often too close to danger for my UE DH, but on Shadow I can use it quite often. It changes the game's pace a bit here and there and keeps it interesting.

Maybe some of you fellow HC players have noticed that the servers have been acting up lately, as also reported by others. Combined with the mixed reception of the seasonal theme (some people saying they don't like it; some clearly enjoying it), I was wondering how popular this season is. Of course we don't know any player numbers, as Blizzard isn't sharing them. So I thought: why not use the stats from a D3-related website that has been up and running for several seasons with no major changes nor announcements to compare the different seasons? I went ahead and did some very basic plotting of D3Resource.com. Here's what it looks like, annotated (click here or on the pic for higher resolution):
I thought it provided some interesting insights (obviously this is just me guessing based on crude, superficial data analysis):
Ending on the obvious caveat - this graph represents visitors on my personal website. It's from the entire domain of D3Resource, but the bulk by far (>80%) comes from the Season Journey Tracker, and the graph looks the same if I sample only for that. Also, I did not account for anomalies (e.g., a sudden increase from some random website that shared any of my links prominently).
TL;DR: I looked at some graphs and determined that if Blizzard gives us a reason for a prolonged/new loot hunt, or shakes up some set damage numbers, more people play Diablo 3. #shocking!

Please don't put in a ticket for not getting loot, unless you didn't mean it to be taken seriously
Sometimes some recipes/plans drop a bit later, it has always been that way. Many people do not experience this, or it is a recipe/plan that is rather useless so they don't care (like all the craftable legendaries from Haedrig). But I've had seasons where the Sage's set wouldn't drop for multiple bounties, so I'm happy that one is now automatically learned by Haedrig at level 12. I've also had seasons where I was waiting longer than necessary for one of the jewelcrafter recipes. The Captain Crimson set is the same - some people get it as their first drop from a bounty/goblin; some people do multiple bounties. Leviathan farmed it for hours on non-season on stream before it finally dropped.
May the RNG be in your favor!

Thanks for the report! I've been told this was probably a cache issue and should be fixed now. Works for me at least - let us know if the problem still persists!

During the update of the build tool, some items disappeared from the selection. We've gone through the list (and everyone's reports - thank you!) and added them in, but due to technical complications it might happen that we overlooked something that is still missing.
If you find an item that is missing in the build tool, or can't be selected, reply here, and the devs will take care of it as soon as possible!
Thank you very much for your cooperation, and we're looking forward to seeing all your cool new builds for this season! Good luck!

Correct, sorry if I didn't make that clear - I've added a note to my post to indicate that it's purely optional. It's just for those who want to join the clan to promote what they're doing and chat with fellow SSFers.
Edit - we've merged the two EU clans, the EU clan is now: SSFEU (SSFFTW was disbanded)!

The clan leaders just reported back in yesterday, I didn't know it was still alive. I've added it! Also, it's purely optional and more for your information - there's a bigger clan in EU as well but it seems to be inactive, so we made a new one. And since it's SSF, the clan is purely optional, people may also stay in their own clan or stay clanless if they prefer

Awesome, nice to have you on board Mob Dylan!
In case anyone wants to join our clans, these are the active clans right now (note that joining a clan is purely optional!):
NA - | Solo Self Found | and Solo Self Found FTW
EU - SSFEU
Request invite at any time!

Enjoy playing solo? Looking for a challenge? Bored of meta and rat runs? Or just looking for something "a bit different" this season?
Join the Season 18 Solo Self-Found League!
The SSF League is a community-organized effort to shake things up a bit and give those who prefer playing solo new goals to strive for. Participating is very simple, as there is no sign-up or registration. All you have to do is submit your highest GR clears - and of course to play solo. The SSF League ends after 30 days, so once the "meta is settled" and the S18 alternative to rat runs has been found, you can join groups for the last two months of the season and push for that GR150 clear!
For more details, main organizer Garfm has put together a comprehensive Google Doc with rules and frequently asked questions. He also said up SSF channels on his Discord!
This season we are lucky to have some well-known community members joining us in the SSF (in addition to aforementioned organizer and accomplished speed runner Garfm who will be streaming as well):
More to come! Planning to join as well? While there is no registration requirement, it is fun to know who you'll be racing against - so post a reply if you're up for it and want to join the fray! You can also join our clans (purely optional, not at all required) - | Solo Self Found | and SSFTW on NA, and SSFEU on EU!

Survivability after some tiers just becomes an issue - you can improve it by equipping some more defensive choices in cube or in open slots, like Aquila Cuirass or Ancient Parthan Defenders and so on - but later on in the game you will eventually be squishy, on any class, especially once you go above GR 100+.
I haven't played barb myself in a while, but if you play on PC you can link your profile by going to diablo3.com and logging in. I don't think such an option exists on console.

Thanks! I'll prep the site in the background so it's ready when S18 hits live.

Oh, sorry for missing context. We're talking about accounts that have been basically deleted due to the Fandom purchase in December/January or so. Every DFans user received an email with a link they had to click to consent to Fandom taking over the data - if you didn't click that link, apparently your account got deleted. I'm not sure if accounts were ever restored after this (if so that was probably Curse account service, I know nothing about this), but the posts are gone.

Can confirm, that was the response I received before the closure, when the Curse developers were in charge. Of course now there's new people in town, and maybe some new hope (i.e., maybe it was just too difficult but not impossible - I don't have insight into that kind of backend programming of DiabloFans). And I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Nice! I love Watchman
Hm... I sort of wanted to have only post-Blizzcon messages. But I guess I'll add pre-Blizzcon stuff, maybe in a spoiler. Thanks!
