Seeing the post above, Breaking news is for important things, "breaking" things. So if servers unexpectedly blew up, then they post. You're arguing your own argument "Use X, because that's what its there for" well replace X with service status forum instead of breaking news page.
Breaking news: literally only for things breaking.
You say your not mad about how they don't post it in front of your face yet you feel the need to create a topic on it, on a diablo "fan site".
If you want something changed go to the blizzard site and post, but more then likely due to your posting I'm sure you are already banned on that website.
Btw, it tuesday, you should have expected it. Not anything new.
I'm banned on that website because I had my account stolen by a goldseller because I used the same password on a different insecure forum.
Frankly, I'm glad it happened. That board moves so fast and all the users are so homogeneous it's almost impossible to stand out or have any meaningful discussion at all because by the time I got off work every day all those threads were buried completely.
So yeah, sometimes you learn lessons. I got to have a fun password-changing day.
Yours today is that constructive criticism isn't always a negative thing.
But seriously, 50m+ for such high damage, such high LOH, socket means over 900 LOH with a standard gem... Regen is the most important too.
That's essentially a perfect GG item. I would seriously consider rolling a WD and building rain of toads / life steal just to use that one item. Damage there is essentially higher than anything you'll find with a sane price on the market with those stats.
It doesn't have any real stats but can be a good starter item because it has high damage. It was on the AH but I overpriced it, at 9PM central time I'll give it to whoever can offer me 1.5 mil or more. It has one other stat but I forgot what it was. I think it might have 5% IAS or something small but good like that. Pretty sure it's lightning damage, too.
Add BluJay#1752 and I'll accept your request when I get off work if you're a DH interested in picking up a high damage bow with a decent discount over AH prices.
In this game, I can roll through act 2 in a coma mashing 1-4 and spamming twisters. If they nerf that, I'll kite with unrelenting storm and hydras, and it'll be even easier because I'll do 40K more damage, just requiring slightly more attention. Keyword being slightly as I can still take 5+ hits. From what I can tell a geared barb basically comes down to "sidestep when they desecrate".
Orrrrrrrr....you could look at the post on the forums that stated the scheduled maintenance 3 days ago.
Just because they didn't put it right in front of YOU, doesn't mean that it wasn't announced. If you can't be bothered to look this stuff up ahead of time, doesn't mean that it's blizzard's fault.
I'm so tired of the entitled whiners that shit up this community.
Or they could just post it on the login page, soe very single player would see it. Is there a good reason not to? If it was posted when it started, there was no reason for it to not be posted earlier.
You're the one shitting up this community, fanboy. Learn to discern legitimate constructive criticism from whining. Critical thinking skills dude. Are there any negatives to posting the maintenance schedule in-game where every player will see it?
I seem to remember in the first ~2 weeks they did that. I assumed they would just keep doing it, for convenience sake.
I don't care if it goes down, I just don't see why the maintenance schedule can't be posted on the login page 24hrs early instead of the moment maintenance starts. Right?
If it was scheduled, why wasn't there are posted time gap BEFORE the servers went down? Damage control much?
If it was scheduled why was there a ~30 minute gap where everyone just crashed out without server warnings or anything and then the game creation errors?
Game requires more knowledge and resources than "skill" if "skill" is defined by "fine motor skills and response time". Period.
I guarantee 99% of D3 players couldn't "Millineum Falcon" the oil refinery towers on Operation Firestorm in Battlefield 3 piloting a jet.
There isn't an amulet you can wear with that. There's practice, and ~2 feet on each side of the jet, where you're locked in a cockpit view (hardcore mode!), and if you bump either side you explode instantly. Ideally, the guy chasing you has to break off or blow up trying to pull a stunt he wasn't planning.
That doesn't mean D3 doens't require skill- it just requires different skills.
Getting headshots is subjectively "harder" than killing champs in any situation though; especially when they're from 900 meters away in a game with bullet drop, projectile speed, and a moving, unpredictable target the size of a grapefruit; there is no resurrection and no second chance- he's there, he's going to start running if the bullet hits nearby, and you're probably going to get two shots off your bolt action at most before he's able to find cover. If you miss, your opportunity is gone forever. You can't remake and this time kill him keeping him from capturing the last flag and winning, that's it, he won, you lost, game is over, next game.
In D3 you're managing a metagame and lots of information. There's a lot of skill in that, more skill than the mechanical function of playing the game. Battlefield 3 for example is the opposite, it isn't cognitive, you need to know that the tank will blow you up, and that as the tank the C4 guy will blow you up, and everybody pretty much has the same knowledge coefficient and the defining trait is who can use 1 bullet to kill the other guy before he can do anything about it.

Between five and seven metric shitloads.

People who tell other people who are already calm to calm down are ingrates.
All I'm saying is, they could post the server maintenance times on the login page; on this occasion there was nothing there anyway.
Also, this sin't an MMO. It shouldn't be going down this often, end of story.

I think 10-20 is less than fair, a roll that high is very rare. I'd say 20.
