    posted a message on StarCraft 2

    This subforum is severely underused, but I just realize... I might as well post here. Is anyone interested in SC2? Two years ago at Blizzcon I watched the D3 stuff with my virtual ticket, but was (as everyone else) super disappointed, but then stumbled across the SC2 tournament... and got back into the game that I had been playing on and off for the past 18 years. Since then I've been following it closely, a lot more than Diablo even this year. Since SC2 went free 2 play in November, the player base has exploded and is at its peak; the game has so many different modes (campaign, ladder, co-op, arcade), and the e-sports scene is arguably the best in the world. And I'm still shocked by what happened last weekend (for those who don't know: StarCraft has always been insanely big in Korea and is almost a "national sport" over there, thus Korea has always dominated the scene - but since Sunday for the first time in history there is a valid argument to make that the best player might actually not be from Korea right now).


    Anyways, just curious if anyone is playing and/or following SC2 - any streamers you like, any players you follow, any tournaments you've recently watched, and if you play yourself do you prefer ranked, unranked, achievement hunting in campaign, or co-op? I'm working on 100% campaign achievement (mid-HotS right now) but also absolutely love co-op (Stukov and Abathur are my go-to commanders, especially the latter I want to practice a lot). I'd love to break into ladder but anxiety hits to hard, it might just not be for me, at least not 1v1. What about you?

    posted a message on "MY BUILD/POST/THREAD DISAPPEARED" - report in here please!

    Thanks everyone for the reports.


    This seems to be a different issue, nothing that can be fixed by a simple "not spam" tag... it seems as if there's something wrong with the build tool. I'll notify the devs. Follow this thread:

    posted a message on That satisfactory moment when you complete all season journey chapters at once

    Inspired by /u/briansey's post, I decided to do something similar. Since my PC crashed a day before the season an I couldn't fix it in time (plus preferred to watch the World Cup), I missed the season start. So I saved up 3 Challenge Rift caches (which means I didn't have to run any bounties), got a power level to 70, and wanted to push my luck. As I managed to find a spot in a T13 group as "rift closer", I managed to complete the UE set at around 2-3 hours played. The rest was pretty simple: I used a certain Journey Tracker website to keep track of my season journey process while leaving Kulle out, until the end:


    https://youtu.be/esMCJJBay7A


    All 3 conquests (3 gems to 65, TX rift in under 2 minutes, GR75 solo) were just pickups along the way. In the end, it took me 8:15. After I got UE everything was solo; but I spent about an hour or so chatting with one of the power levelers in-game, so this is by far not the fastest possible (of course if you get carried the entire way this is probably doable in 2-3 hours or so). Learned some interesting things though - for example, make sure you have 200+ DB and some random legendaries to cube the final 40 items; leave the one bounty until the end, so you can join a random T13 bounty group; when being the rift closer, make sure you maximize toughness+speed so you can pick up DBs+items in the rift; and probably more that I forgot now (not sure if anyone's interested).


    Doing this entirely solo would've probably taken about 15 hours: 3-4 hours for getting to 70 (I'm not good at leveling solo, especially DH), then 2-3 hours getting the full 6 piece, and then an hour more because I would've missed out on the ~10-15 rift keys I got as T13 closer.

    @Kikaha: I issued you a nickname change credit. Log out and back in and change the name to something else, then the name is free for your other account to claim.


    @user_616753: You now have a nickname change credit as well - same thing, just log out and back in again and you can change your name.

    posted a message on Season Journey Tracker

    Yeah, that'd be amazing. I'm not sure if I'll be able to play at all - my PC crashed yesterday, and also the World Cup match is more important, so I might not play (much) this weekend. But I'd love to add the remaining bosses. If anyone knows them let me know - make sure to highlight my name or reply to my post so that I get an email notification. I've also asked on Reddit but no response there yet either.

    To be honest... I'm quite confused. Can you post here with the other account, so I can see that you're the owner, and then I can maybe give you a nickname credit on that one, you change it to something else, so the name becomes available on the account you're currently posting on?

    You still have the Necro set as Inarius. It should be Pestilence for season 14.


    Whooops. Thanks, fixed!

    posted a message on [Poll] Season 15 Theme

    The double goblin event is one of the known, datamined community buffs (and one that has been activated quite regularly in the past). There's a few others that we know of, thanks to a datamine in 2.0.5:


    https://www.diablofans.com/news/48064-datamined-patch-2-0-5-class-changes-and-strings


    So basically, the "themes" might be based around the following "events":


    • Double XP
    • Double legendary drop rate
    • Double gold find
    • Double rift keystones drop
    • Double blood shards
    • Double Horadric caches
    • Kadala's costs are reduced

    Maybe there are more, can't think of anything else off the top of my head, but this datamine obviously is quite old. But that's the kind of stuff you can expect.


    Double cache might be a season worth playing, as you can rack up a lot of mats for future reforging (32 mats per bounty run, so you could make about 120 mats per hour with a good group).


    I hope there's other, more interesting ones. I personally wouldn't mind one that would make things slower or harder, like 10% of the XP or double enemy damage/HP or so, because last season it took me 15 hours to finish guardian (solo self-found on HC after getting a powerlevel to 70), and after that I just lose motivation to play. I wish there was something past Guardian or Guardian would be much higher (like GR100 with all classes or whatever). But as a theme they'll probably keep it more on the casual side.
