so much for HC inferno players if you can't avoid that 170k hit minus armor and etc
not to mention assuming you can reach inferno mode without dying on the others

The fun is in playing the game, not working out how to play it.
I agree with Jay but I think the skill-UI redesign made the game a lot harder to figure out how to play. I've played the Beta with both the old UI and new UI and found the old UI much much easier to use. The new UI makes me jump through hoops to get things done and I dread leveling just because it means I'll have to go fuck with the UI to access my new skills/runes (this is compounded by the fact that the skill/rune you just unlocked is not easy to discover).
I really hate the new skill UI and feel it did the exact opposite of what Jay wanted it to do: it made working out how to play the game difficult and irritating. It was honestly enough to make me want to stop playing.
Also, Jay's excuse about wanting to hide the "elective mode" skill option and keep it as "tribal knowledge" is complete BS. He's plainly admitting that they're actively designing a bad user experience by (1) making a setting that should be default not default, and (2) making the discovery of the setting difficult to find (this is a no-no for good UI). I really want to set up a google trend search to track just how many people need to hit the web to find out how to change the skill settings. If this number is high enough it will be a clear indication that blizz killed the user experience with this "improvement."
My 2-cents.

I don't know if it's just me but lately I haven't been getting any yellow item at all from the SK. First time I killed him with every character it was a guaranteed drop, now it isn't

My friend and I are excited about that :| Actually having a huge upper cap for challenge, there's always something to strive for! Now we can actually focus on "beating in inferno" in HC as a solid goal.

Hey look guys http://www.diablofan...-duels-outrage/
I consider this a personal achievement ... actually making a blue post with a bunch of blues responding and breaking 300 responses! It's like the blizz forums are a game and I just won haha.
Still disappointed that Bash didn't answer my in-game duel question directly.
Anyway my god does the forums ever take time away, that was nearly 5 hours of reading and writing with only a few short breaks. I could never be a forum admin.

As for the dyes, I think I would've preferred having a giant image file, but good effort! I like that there's some vibrant pinks and greens in there. Makes me think, however, that only a small handful of colours will ever be used.

Yeah he didn't clarify where this was dropping. I'm just saying that with gold "being worth something" it sucks if at level 10 you get x gold then at level 60 you get 100*x gold ... in otherwords it's pointless to even bother picking up anything for "gold" at lower levels once you have a high level character.

So you're saying including inferno, i.e. it'll take a standard "good" player 3 weeks to complete a character from start to killing final boss in inferno? I sure hope that's not true or they're just toying with us. Bashiok did say "months" for inferno alone, which is what I was hoping for ... that way all 10 characters will take me a couple years instead less than a year :|

Seems like a safe statement to make, but the maphacks I saw did show monster location. Maybe they improved the way monsters are loaded for retail? With the changes to "item farming" maphack isn't as important except for things like:
- finding champions fast (need monster location)
- finding random dungeon entrances (i.e. den of fallen)
- random top-world resplendent chests
- speed running to the boss after killing a few packs for nephalem buff
In which case, yes maphack is still useful and I sure do hope they prevent it as best they can.

I thought the bets were several months for people to finish Inferno? Or are they just saying to finish Hell, in which case getting essentially to 60 and killing the boss? If that's the case, then this is good news. I was afraid of hitting 60 in 2 days. On the otherhand if this includes Inferno, then that super-sucks

Simple, but it happened.

I meant that I was intending to group with Wiz and solo with WD. I'm playing HC from the beginning to experience the story while fearing death! I figured WD was a healthy solo choice.
And yes, our group will be diversified in stats as each is a different class and since nobody likes the DH, we'll have 2 people going for "int" stuff.

I hope the wiz video is garbage as I was going to play Wiz and WD as my first 2 group -> solo
