    GEAR SWAPPING (TOGGLE ON/OFF) WITH COOLDOWN ON TOGGLE OFF

    Add a Gear Swap system in, but with a cooldown system in place to prevent it being abused on trash clears etc.

    Also have a toggle on and toggle off system for this gear swap, and make it such that the cooldown for the gear swap ONLY gets trigged when you "toggle off". Therefore, you can fast toggle on MF gear for the kill, then after the mobs die, you can "toggle off" the MF gear so you can continue clearing without any delay. Only after the switch back to normal gear do you trigger the cooldown.

    This gear swapping system can not only just be for MF gear.

    You could for instance have a tank setup on your "toggle on" set and a glass cannon set as your normal setup. If you think the champ pack is too strong for whatever reason, you can toggle onto your tank setup. With the cooldown in place, it will prevent people from abusing this for champion/boss spell casts, such that they will have to commit to switching back to their original setup for X amount of seconds (say 30sec to 1min < provided this is short enough to be off cooldown when you reach the next champ pack).

    posted a message on Legendary Drop Rates
    You need to make sure that people are ONLY quoting legendaries that dropped from monsters (i,e, and not breakables/chests).

    Otherwise it increases the perceived chance of legendaries dropping, since you cannot count the number of breakables/chests broken/opened.

    posted a message on Legendary Drop Rates
    Elites: 6894
    Non-Elites: 162,377

    Legendary Drops from Normal Monsters: 2
    Legendary Drops from Elite Monsters: 4


    Total Legendary Drops from Any Monsters: 6


    4 of the 6 legendaries were found running 250-300% MF
    The rest were either leveling or were from trash, with minimal MF.
    I have found 3 more legendaries on top of the above mentioned. But they have been from breakables/chests (weapon rack, and clouds)

    My MF gear would generally only be equipped for around 500-1000~ of the elite kills through MF gear switching. Normal mobs would be with little to no MF gear.

    Quality Assurance

    Hey guys,

    As you can probably imagine, our servers are currently really busy handling all the new players coming into the game.

    The achievements server in particular is being hammered, which may be why your achievements are not showing up. It is not that they are deleted, but that there is a (very long) delay in retrieving that data.

    We are working on it :)

    Quote from heFFa

    Quote from Inf

    My installer had an error where it said "could not open" at Tome 3.MPQ :/

    had the same problem.
    i took a look in my Diablo-III-8370-enGB-Installer folder.
    there i saw that Installer Tome 3.MPQE 0 mb big.
    and right beside it i found a Installer Tome 3.MPQE.tmp.

    renamed the last into Installer Tome 3.MPQE, restarted the installation.

    must have been an issue while downloading the installer tomes.

    I had the same issue, but for Installer Tome 2.MPQE
    There was a Installer Tome 2.MPQE 500MB~ and a Installer Tome 2.MPQE.temp that was 4.5GB
    I tried renaming Installer Tome 2.MPQE to Installer Tome 2.MPQE.backup
    and renamed Installer Tome 2.MPQE.temp to Installer Tome 2.MPQE
    and I was still getting the same error.

    Redownloading the game now...
