    Quote from baron01

    Wow, just wow. My poorly geared DH who just got to a level of gear when I could comfortable clear Siegebreaker in 25 minutes is now going to suffer again.
    I was fairly content with the IAS nerft as I was using very few pieces with IAS since I could not afford it anyway. Now everybody will go after crit hit chane or crit hit damage, which will make the gear expensive again and i wont be able to afford it any longer.

    Buff to Siegebreaker is unknown yet but it can get ugly. And Im not even glass canon because I like to have some HP and bit of resitances to survive 1 hit from small shit that runs around. I cant afford high dex/vit/AR gear, therefore, Im forced to use weaker pieces or physical resistance instead of AR.

    The notion that my main damage dealing skill is getting severely nerfed is just putting goose bumps on. Dont get me wrong, I hated every second on my DH when I hit 60 and was forced to use it. However, the potential was visible immediately and there was no going back. It will definitely impact normal clearing, e.i. trash packs, elites and champions, but the largest impact will be on boss kills. NT will now be one ugly looking slow projectile rune.
    I'm speechless about the way Blizzard approaches these changes. Instead of adjusting other DH skills or item attributes, they just nerf everything down. I cant afford to have 3 offensive skills on my bindings, e.i. Hungering Arrow, Frost Arrow and Impale, because I would not survive for long. Not because im glass canon but because I need SS and Prep due to my low damage output relative to glass cannon builds.
    Im triple-screwed by this patch.

    Poorly geared? Clearing in 25 min for a run is pretty fast. If you can't play without a bugged (not nerfed, but bugged) skill, then pls uninstall.

        • Tentacles will now only hit each target once

    So what do we do now? our top dps ability is nerfed.

    Hitting 3 times a shot for a TON of damage a hit was OP, and was a bug. DH will now be more on par with other classes in dps (even though i believe they will still be very good if not the best still). Lightning ball hits twice instead of 3 times, use it, still OP.

    Quote from Yellr

    Well i still think whimsey will be worth it, 30+ chest, 5 stacks in act 1 takes 3 minutes, every rare pack drops a guaranteed rare. I just don't see SB runs being comparable but i guess ill be testing it when servers go live.

    30+ chests that involve shitty mf, i mean its barely worth it as it is.

    Quote from F8L_Fool

    All Kripparrian did was get fed gear by Krippi and the rest of No Life, then proceed to bad mouth every Barbarian on his stream if they couldn't full clear inferno as well. Then he goes and dies in HC multiple times just to get power leveled by his buddies over and over.

    This guy deserves credit alright, for being the biggest troll in all of Diablo 3.

    All credit goes to Krippi and the other unknowns within No Life that literally handed this guy his gear and characters, then proceeded to carry him through the content.

    So much misinformation here. It's obvious that you are clueless and haven't watched his stream in the past weeks.

    Oh yeah, he totally made 20 mil on 4 days of Goblin farming - And he power-leveled all his characters, re-gained that gold, from power farm of goblins - And totally didn't get absurd amounts of cash either on RMAH - selling Horadric Hamburgers for 220 dollars - Just because it's him - No, not at all. Get real.

    RMAH isn't on hardcore, so that money he made didnt help him at all.

    Quote from Fitsu

    So, the game is doable without a single death.... Why is it being nerfed again? :S

    Ya, because having an entire guild of people feeding you gear to the point that it trivializes the game is what everyone is doing, right?

    Because one group of people is a sufficient sample in order to dictate/justify the balance of an entire game, played by millions of people across the planet, right?

    By that logic the next time a guild in WoW manages to full clear an entire expansion in like a week, be sure to make said content exponentially more difficult in a hotfix. Despite the fact that 99% of the players won't even see it for months. See where I am going with this?

    Nerfed because not everyone can sell hamburgers for 250 dollars, and not everyone wants to spend every single night for 10 hours farming goblins to actually get gear

    posted a message on Is Blizzard Opening Themselves Up to Lawsuits? (RMAH)
    Quote from Rekanos

    Please don't mistake this for another whine-fest thread about how the RHAM is unfair or unbalancing, and I'm not suggesting people start a lawsuit. I was talking with a friend last night about the legality of the RMAH, and we were wondering about 2 possible scenarios in which Blizzard may be open to legal ramifications.

    1) People buying items on the Hardcore RMAH, dying to server lag, and losing hundreds, possibly thousands of dollars that was out of their control. I realize that when you create a Hardcore character you agree that you cannot have the character restored due to latency, but when Blizzard's servers go down or severely lag, I have to think that people could have legitimate legal recourse.

    If I have an Etrade or Scottrade account and I go to place a buy/sell, their servers work and I (ideally) make money. If I bought stock, then it disappeared a few days later due to "server issues", you can bet your ass that company is on the line for the investments that I lost. If the Blizzard servers are performing poorly and kill my character, I have to think they could be subject to legal action. Again, I know these are different scenarios, but it makes sense that if Blizzard is charging fees for selling items that they should be on the hook for some expected levels of service.

    From the EULA which was in all caps, which I find ironic because Battle.net forum mods seem to take great offense to threads or posts in all caps:

    "BLIZZARD IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE OR YOUR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE. IN NO CASE SHALL BLIZZARD BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, THE BATTLE.NET BALANCE SERVICE, ANY GAME OR ANY GAME CLIENT. IN NO CASE SHALL THE LIABILITY OF BLIZZARD EXCEED THE AMOUNT THAT YOU PAID TO US DURING THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE TIME YOUR CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE"

    Sure, people agree to this, but I really think there's an attorney out there somewhere who can get around this. I'm not an attorney/paralegal/whatever, but the line where it says "DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE" makes me think they could be open. The problem arises when we CANNOT use the service as intended, thus losing a character.

    2) People spending money to deck out a toon, then Blizzard nerfs something like IAS. This one is a bit weaker, but it makes more sense if you think about it. Say I spend $500 to gear up my character with 5000 of stat A. Next month Blizzard decides that stay A is too strong, and it needs to be nerfed. After the nerf, stat B is much more appealing. I then have to go back to the RMAH and buy that gear because I'm no longer as strong as I was before.

    Don't mistake this for an expansion reset, because that's not what this is. Blizzard is sanctioning the purchasing of items in game. In the past, if people wanted to buy things with RL money they would have to go to a 3rd party website, and if in-game things were changed, that's too bad. Now, with Blizzard taking a cut of all RMAH sales, they can possibly manipulate the market creating sales by lowering/increasing the usefulness of certain stats.

    I'm not trying to start a flame-war or a petition to sue or anything, I just want to get other's opinions on legality of the RMAH. Thanks!

    OR YOUR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE , did you not read this part when you said "the problem arises when we CANNOT use the service as intended." Inability to use also means not being able to use as intended, meaning if it bugs out and you lose something or money, they are still not liable, They are completely covered.

    Edit: Also, they will probably announce if a stat is going to be nerfed, which most likely there will only be one that would be nerfed when it comes to mind, crit damage. If they announce they are going to nerf something, just dont buy the item, if you cant take 1 min and look at diablo3.com for updates, then too bad for them.In the EULA/tos, it says that the player does not actually own or have rights to any virtual items in the game

    This means that you go to court and you say "The item I bought to own was changed, it was misleading", blizzard can just say "You agreed to the writing that says you don't own any items you get in game, therefore we nerfed something that was ours not yours, you just payed to use it at the time".

    Quote from Sindromica

    didnt i hear that people opening and closing games too quickly are now getting a 15 minute ban?...or is that in a future patch?

    It wasn't a ban, it was just a time frame where you couldn't make or join games, and that was removed because it was bugged and happened too often. They said you shouldn't ever be prevented if you are a player, even in farming conditions.

    So you guys want me to fraps the entire game, doing all quests and mobs with 5 stacks and upload it to youtube...some people with never be satisfied. Maybe I'll do it someday, but for now I just don't care enough to please the whiners who demand the game be played exactly how they say.

    you aren't that smart, are you, Just take some screen shots of your quests in each act and the sub quests of each quest in the main menu.

    And no, we don't want it played an exact way, but when someone is bragging over exploiting a system and claiming something they didn't actually do according to the majority of people, then yes, you will be flamed for it.

    "OH LOOK, I BEAT INFERNO, HERE ARE THE GLITCHES I USED, AND NO I DIDNT SKIP ANYTHING, YES I SSKIPPED IZUAL, BUT NO, I BEAT THE GAME COMPLETELY"

    We say you haven't if you skipped part of the game, if you could skip the parts of the game, then how about i say I beat inferno naked, I just skipped act1-4, had my friend kill diablo for me while i was in the game and got the achievement.

    tl:dr The amount of stupidity you display here is beyond belief.

    sure, make one of doing A4 please. With 5 neph all bosses :)

    Why would I do that? Not only would I have to kill act 3 champs to get enough NV so I can have 5 stacks for the first two act 4 bosses, but I would have to switch to the zombie bear build for Rakanoth too. Unless you want me to go spend a few hundred million gold to get some vit and res gear with equal DPS to survive his soul ripper adds and ranged attacks...yay fun.

    You keep thinking that my post was a guide on how to clear the game perfectly without dying, it's not. It's not even a guide, I never used that word once in my post. It's a compilation of my inferno kills with strategies on how to kill bosses. Not everybody plays D3 exactly the same way as you do, get used to it. People have different ideas on what it means to beat the game. And I, for one, don't play for other people's enjoyment.

    You say it's not a guide, but you are showing the way you did it so "guide" people through inferno. You are showing an example complete with explanation in hopes of others learning from it to do it themselves, in definition , is a guide. You don't have to say guide to make a guide.

    A guide: One who shows the way by leading, directing, or advising. One who serves as a model for others, as in a course of conduct.

    If you think posting all this information and explanation isn't any of that, then you must be a fool.

    Now I may be wrong, but i remember after I killed the butcher five stacks, I went to act 2 and lost all my stacks, therefore you couldn't kill act 3 packs for act 4. however I may be wrong (atleast I admit to it)

    NO ONE is thinking it's a guide on how to beat it without dieing.

    and no, you can't make up your own definition for completing a game IF you brag/gloat about it to others. The overwhelming general consensus of beating the game is progressing through the game without skipping any content that is necessary to progress onto the next critical objective until the game has ended, with this game the end being beating diablo. Most would also include that bugs and glitches that are intentionally used to skip necessary tasks/quests or that make a part of the game much easier than intended and/or would be without it, this would mean you didn't beat/complete the game as well.

    You can't just make up your own definitions, you don't know what a guide is (which is what you made unintentionally), you don't know what beating the game entails. This is a sad display and should for no reason be shown. Your attitude is a disgrace and disgusting.

    Quote from Barthalas

    Izual is a special case. He doesn't count as a boss itself as everything else grants achievements. He just isn't worth the 30 minutes of trying to down him. Not that he should be too hard.

    What is "skipping" to you? Do you mean skipping quests or champion/elite groups? Because if you mean the latter... Invulnerable minions just isn't really possible as a WD. So are Bulwark demons (even without the fast affix they move at 170% of your movement speed or so).
    That leads me to the second point, you should specify "content" do you mean every group? Or explore everything etc. ?

    While I approve of skipping the hardest/near impossible packs of elites and champs (mainly invul), beating it means you beat every quest, every part of the quest, and every boss, izual is part of the progression in a quest line, without killing him, you can't finish the quest, you skip it, you skip part of the quest.

    Mate he is "special case" don't bother. I think they got more "special cases" like quests that don't give achivements...why even bother?

    Yeah, every single quest don't give achievements, why bother with most of them? skipper

    I wonder how you, and the OP says you can do A3-4 without skipping and yet when we demand proof of that words you say "why should i do that?"
    Because nobody is dumb enough to fraps for 1-2 hours and upload a huge ass video that shows them going through act 3 and 4 when they know that nobody wants to watch that.

    without having several stacksof valor, you have no proof that you cleared through the quest lines, just skipping to the bosses.
