Wow. Let it go people (cough, cough-rucksak cough). It's a fucking video game. Who gives a damn if he did or didn't answer your question. You people act like he raped somebody or something.

I did let it go. Until somebody (*cough cough Bagstone) suggested that I continued to ask after the question was answered, and that was not true.

I was genuinely curious how MC would answer the simple question. why a person in his position would cheat and risk his account.

I did NOT blast MC in this thread, other than to call him a snake for answering a question by editing it into a post he made 15 hours previously, a post that wasn't there when I read it.

Why would he cheat? To be competitive versus other cheaters, its a multiplayer game after all. Do you need more explanation or you are just dumb so you cannot understand? Most of top D3 people exploited it, so to still be competitive he did it himself. Now stop being a douchebag and let it go.

To be competitive vs. other cheaters, haha. That is a glorious response. Telling people to stop being a douche while being a douche is a nice touch too.

I'm having really good results so far with this - Inna's as weapon, head, belt. Rainment as boot, chest, shoulder, glove, pant. I have a 4.1k inna diabo so.. yeah.

For skills I'm using DS, EP, BoH, Epiphany, Mystic Ally, Fists of Thunder.

The double effect of all the mantras is kinda huge.

The playstyle is easy - palm, ds spirt empty, bol, punch a few times. Wash rinse repeat with epiphany/mystic ally active to speed up the mana regen. The thing I've realized that needs to be mastered is not running out of spirit and killing the DS charges. That leaves you with your pants down for 8 seconds, probably with no spirit, and probably soon to be dead.

I think this will be the winning combo regarding gear, but I don't think I'll be using EP at all. I love the spirit rune from it, but I think I'll use a defensive ability in its place. Punch stuff, be mindful of your DS charges, and stuff dies soon after. I'm still tossing up the ideas of using an Inna's daibo to get the 4pc bonus with a RoRG, or a FD/Furnace with F+R.

I loved my Sunwuko set, but the new Rainment's is some of the most fun I've ever had in a Diablo game.

You must be kidding. But then again, your last statement is beyond hilarious, so maybe that's what you actually think and are not joking. Your comparison to the bracers vs. the updated Nat set has absolutely nothing in common. As if the updated IK set, Raekor set, and Wastes set offer nothing to boost your char, right? DH's don't need armor sets or set bonuses! Don't give them survival bonuses, because it's too much fun dying in 1-hit to a jailer effect!

If Blizzard made bracers for other classes that gave every rune of their most powerful cooldown, and not for Barbs, maybe you'd understand. If you have played Barb for as long as you have claimed, I figured you'd understand the overpowered synergy of the bracers more than it just being "a little op."

Fact of the matter is that people want the easiest mode and least path of resistance. Those bracers gave you that...on the PTR. It's getting really annoying that the bnet whining is trickling here more and more.

I hope that, after this huge defaillance, blizzard will reconsider their position about Mortick

For the love of god give it up. You don't need those goddamned bracers to do well in GRifts. The new WW set is amazing and the Raekor set is still great without some stupid bracers that make the game even more faceroll. Sorry for your loss, FOTM rerollers.

Get out.

Started playing my monk again, who had just enough gear for T5, but 0 Sunwuko pieces (I am awesome). In 2 GRifts this morning, got an ancient daibo with 3900+ dmg and a socket, 2 SWK pieces, and 3 other set pieces. It was extremely fun and hated having to log off to go to work



I'm in it for the long haul, so the patch does not bother me. I really loved how M6 DH's mimicked a D2 Trapsin with their sentries before, but the change seems even more overpowered on top of making you actually attack now.

My preparation is a little different from yours, but neither is incorrect. The only thing I'm doing to prepare for RoS is getting sleep the night before so I can be up at 3am to kill demons until my eyes bleed.

This is unreal. People often complained that grouping sucked and there was no reason to ever do so, and now people are complaining that grouping shouldn't be as viable an option as running solo. People complained that the game sucked because there was no reason to ever socialize or go beyond playing with your follower. Now Blizzard has heard your cries and made grouping fun, fast, and efficient.

What more do you want?

You don't need to play 14 hours a day to make grouping worthwhile. I jump into agame with friends, play for an hour, go to bed. I get replaced as quickly as I jumped in and things carry on. Stop worrying about other people and play the game for your own enjoyment. I accept that I'll never catch up to Morikiopa, Modz, etc in Paragon levels or possibly even their gear levels because of their lifestyle/playstyle. Oh boo hoo, life goes on, but I'm still enjoying the time I have in-game.

I found 3 upgrades for my WD and 1 for my barb last night, and a legendary belt that was sort of a side-grade. What I like about loot 2.0 is that these drops make me ponder swapping out a build to try something else out. I'm a zombie bear whore for sure, but when you start getting +% to abilities on different pieces plus all the other cool stats, it's worth trying something new!

Overall, the gameplay feels different, but I greatly enjoy it. I appreciate the assets loading faster, so I'm not dying from my PC freezing up as it loads everything for the first time. I like the darker feel, paragon 2.0, and pretty much everything else that has been delivered to us. My least favorite thing about yesterday is the spectral hound vanity thing. It just seems out of place.

Looking forward to all the new QQ threads that will appear, because we all need the entertainment from butthurt people.

All I know is that the D3 release was probably the most entertaining release ever.

You must not have played many games at launch, then. A jammed up login queue is far from the worst (or entertaining as you put it) to have happened at launch. Just curious why you created a thread asking about what people are excited about when you clearly have no intentions of buying RoS from another thread- regardless of what people say.

yo guys

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW YEAH!!!

The real issue is this:

Why is doing this more fun, beneficial, and lucrative, than doing a Greater Rift the normal way?

Furthermore, no one is getting banned for this. Unless Blizzard issues in-game warning, players have fair grounds to play within the scope of the game, unaltered.

Blame QA, not the players who are just trying to keep up/compete/find some enjoyment in the grind. Bugs add interesting spikes in an otherwise static experience right now.

I'd also say that we discovered this by accident two days ago due to a failed GR cancellation and did not try to duplicate in days following, sighting that 2 minute GR35 runs were overall more beneficial in terms of primarily exp, but also total Legs + Bloodshards per hour.

What you just spewed is complete bullshit. Blizzards 'warning' is the eula, they don't have to specifically name every single instance of possibilities.

This is supposed to be a 4 month long season and we're less than a week in. There needs to be punishment for this, whether it's a ban or a gear reset as we'll as leader board position wiped. Exploits always get through, but what will make me greatly disappointed in Blizzard is if there's no rectification.

Normal weapons should just have the same damage range as Ancients. Then the only benefit to ancient is stat increases, which are meaningful but not gamebreaking (as with ancient armor pieces).

It would make ancient weapons nice, but not essentially required. It's just the increased damage that makes them that way.

Quote from Doez

The crafting recipes now require those common junk materials along with the essences, etc. In all of my playtime yesterday, I only saw 2 of those things drop. Do I need to pick up gray crap to salvage?

Yeah, white/grey will D/E into common junk (or whatever it's called). I was annoyed about it at first, but the drop rate is so much lower now I don't mind hoovering everything up. You get a good amount, too - I've seen stuff D/E into 8 or 9 common junks.

Quote from Talyn_Rahl

Love it, love EVERYTHING about it...



except Odeg

I fucking love Odeg. He is such a jerk, it's like just killing him is reward enough in itself I don't even need a drop. He is the kind of villain who just makes you go, "This motherfucker's gon' die" under your breath, even if you're normally a pretty relaxed dude.

Right on Doez. The loading screens definitely fly by now. I already fou d 3 different bracers with + % to physical, ice, and something else damage. It def makes you think about it. The ammy I found that I wrote about earlier heals me when I'm being hit by arcane damage. Do you know how freaking cool it is sitting in the disco balls having fun? It's awesome!

yeah, the 3 day notice the game was going to be down for approx 8 hours at 3 AM PST today via blue post wasn't enough, the notice on the login screens wasn't enough. They need to update the server status screen as that is the most important way to tell people whats going on with the servers.

Quote from VegasRage

I've been playing normal mode most every day for an hour or two, I have not bothered with nightmare mode because the 3 or 4 times I've played it, I have not liked how the glowing mini-bosses you come across in each map are significantly more powerful than the regular enemies you fight.

One minute you are fighting at one pace, the next you are changing tactics entirely to compensate for the drastic change in difficulty, that's not fun to me, it's aggravating.

UPDATE
So just to give nightmare mode another shot after the patch I just played through Leoric's crown with my Demon Hunter. The real test is when I get to the goat men, that seems to be where the mini-bosses start to get there teeth. But even crawling through the crypts the mini bosses required a massive number of shots and I found myself a few times lacking discipline or hatred and found the battles bordering on not being enjoyable.

I added some screen shots of the ones that chased me around until I shot them 150 fricken laughable times before they finally went down. Diablo 2 was never like that in nightmare mode, the mini-bosses were more difficult as they should be, but not to the point where you had to wail on them for a full minute before they went down. I just don't find that kind of game play to be enjoyable, it reminds me of 80's arcade games where you are just shooting for a high score.

Good god, where to even start with this sack of bologna. I truly can't tell whether you're just the biggest Diablo forum warrior ever (to be judged by your mass of posts but absolute zero ability to actually play the game), or if you're just a massive troll who enjoys fuming over stuff that even begins to excite the working areas of your brain when engaging in strenuous activity. That isn't even beginning to address the tangential nature of your posts regarding the original topic at hand.

If you don't play games to beat the hardest parts, why the fuck are you bitching about the hardest parts? You either care about them or you don't. Or you're a troll. That's my bet.

I'll just say this: Diablo 3 is being worked on by a group that is almost entirely different than the group who did D1 and D2. If anyone thinks this isn't a legitimate reason for changes in the overall attitude and ideology of where the Diablo franchise is headed, they should check into a mental institution immediately.

Dave Brevik may not be a loser, but he sure is an asshole. Only an asshole goes out of his way to make back-handed remarks about something heopenly admitted to understanding as different based on the change in personnel. If Jay Wilson made those same remarks about Dave Brevik's shit, and Dave Brevik called Jay Wilson a loser, would we be having this conversation? Nope - aren't double standards great? Personal ire and spite is fun! Weeee, I love the internet!

Quote from GreenWins

I don't have time to rebuttal more posts, but what positive can you think of by this system?

The fact that most of the community LOVES it and it's rejuvenating players and bringing players back to the game?

The fact that if we put enough time in we can be free of MF on gear, therefore making it slightly easier to find ultra high-end gear (it's one less affix that MUST be on the piece).

The fact that I run around doing MF runs and every now and then I gain 3% MF, 3% GF and some stats? It's like a small bonus every now and then for doing stuff I was already planning on doing.

The fact that coupled with the class overhauls (people are now attempting to do what is FUN with their class instead of simply what is effective) and the legendary overhaul (people are now excited to see orange/green text), PLevels are just icing on the cake. People are having a lot of fun waiting for that loot explosion on a champion pack. Seeing their XP bar inch along only helps validate that for many people.

If you're hell bent on seeing the glass as half empty then you can never comprehend how it is half full at the same time.
