It might also mean that 61 level items found from level 63 level mobs will have better stat rolls. I bet we'll get some blue posts on that later tonight.Quote from pipomolo
Yay! Even more crappy iLvl63 items. Like we didn't have enough of those already!
True, but still, if monster levels per act remain the same, this means you won't get really good items unless you're doing act III or IV. This really defeats the drop rate changes they've been doing in patch 1.0.3, which was supposed to allow people getting good drops even in lower acts. So I really hope there will be some cap to this system, which would only have lower level items buffed, not nerf the higher ones.

Well it turns out my theory was wrong after all, and the proc chance nerf of sprint will affect fury generation as well. So the build will be much harder to use.

Dear colleague Gamers,
I'm reading the forums and checking diablofans web regularly since forever... And today I decided to read this topic and check if somebody is worried regarding the same thing I am. This usually happens a lot, but today nobody wrote anything about my concerns and I decided to make an account and write you few words...
Enough about me.
So:
Affixes on items will now roll their level based on the level of the monster killed (rather than the item’s level)
A simple question: Do you know which monsters are lvl 63? Which elites from which acts can actually drop a decent loot now? Because I'm kinda sure that Act1 for example has only 1 type lvl 63 monster. And Act3? How many monsters are lvl 63? Which? I think this will make us do Act4 instead of Act3. The change regarding the quests and the resplended chests is for the same reason - quicker NV5 for the smallest act in the game. I might be very amazingly turbo mega wrong. If someone got a table with monster lvls for Inferno - please share. Because otherwise - We Be F*cked, my friends.
With the bestestest regards from Bulgaria,
Psihara

amazing patch to be honest,
they really touched everything that I found annoying/broken.
only thing I dislike is :
"..in return they’ll receive scaling bonuses to experience (for heroes levels 1-59)".
but cannot complain really.
It does say "as well as" after that so it's a bit ambiguous. Not providing any exp incentive for Monster Power after having just added the Paragon incentive would be extremely short sighted.
Not really. Better loot is more than enough incentive (especially since loot is quickly irrelevant as you level in this game but means everything at 60). With the XP shrines, possible gear bonuses to XP, and the NV buff, I think Blizzard wants to cap how fast people can make it to 100. They really want it to take a while. Besides, better loot = improved combat efficiency which means killing faster thus faster XP anyway. Just not as dramatic as the sub-60 improvements.
Higher monster power presumably means dramatically more HP which would mean slower exp. It would be silly not to at least increase the exp rate enough to compensate for that.

Wow PvP was playable in 2010 at expo's and was scheduled for "shortly after release"
Now their lieing and saying they originally said the end of the year???
And to add insult to injury are saying it wont be here till 2013?
Horrible public relations....I wonder why when it was playable in 2010 with full arenas with the schedule of launch(later being pushed back to "just after launch", they have failed this badly???
Hope lots were fired over the failure to meet deadlines.

1) Monster power
2) Affixes on items will now roll their level based on the level of the monster killed (rather than the item’s level)
Now, Monster Power by itself is quite interesting, but not the "Affixes blablabla". That is because it seems like "What, even with monster power I can't go back to Act I?"
But, what if the system works like this.
Base level: 60
Each act adds 1 level
Each monster power adds 1 level, starting at monster power 2.
This would mean monster power 3 in act I = monster power 1 in act III = Monster level 63.
There would be no actual level increase (or maybe there would?) so armor etc wouldn't be needed in much higher lvls to survive, but a theoretical lvl (which would cause monsters to drop improved loot at higher lvls). Or even better: There would be a lvl increase with a cap of 63, so act I wouldn't always be preferred with 2 higher monster powers than act III.
I don't really have the math clear, but the concept is how I imagine blizzard putting it.
What are your thoughts on this?
Personally, this is what I hope for because people could now farm other acts again (as long as monster power 10 would be an insane difficult even in act I) so we can have a bit different scenery
Is there anything with this idea you like / don't like? Anything you would like to see different?

I've seen quite the few spam attacks now, and all they really do is spam the forums placing dots at a lot of places and then spamming us even more with their gold selling.
I think, what if there would be 5 posts, but a 1 day delay from the 5th post til URLs are activated?I
It's not that often that new members go over 5 posts a day on the first or second day of their stay, in fact, I think most new members will benefit from this due to getting earlier access to URLs while already having proved they aren't bots. Today we have 15 accounts that have made more than 5 posts, this includes 2 bots so 13 people.
If some1 is detected with going on random forums placing a dot or other messages that makes no sense at all, hopefully they will be flagged with spam and won't ever get access to post URLs.
They will find a work around for this, but hopefully it will at least stop them for now, because its really annoying with these bots posting in the style they do now.

Do any1 have any great ideas for what we can do in order to improve this function? How can we make it more visible and more obvious what it is, and make people press it more often.
Also, as I have understood it is directly connected to the thing on your profile which from 0 to 10 is neutral, from 11 to somewhere else is good etc, maybe mousing over that should explain the system?
Maybe make a sticky in this forum section about what it is? (Though this isn't the most visited forum section...)
(only on these problems, thanks, if you want a down-vote function, this threads intention is not to discuss that).

Now, this doesn't fall naturally to everyone, so making a system where you "force" people to introduce themselves (by rewarding it) wouldn't really work, but how about mentioning something like
"Welcome to Diablofans! We would love to know more about you, so if you want to introduce yourself to our other members, please go here and say hello! :)"
Hopefully that can help to the activity of that forum ^^

Its completely useless, only there for the story. In addition, the monsters are far more spread out, so it isn't even more efficient to farm there in godly gear =/

Why do people never include any of those details =/

That kinda sucks. I guess this explains azmodan too, he is being underestimated just like carrion bats and shiz, and therefore people die on him.
Good luck on future hc chars!

Not really.
Many of the best geared people isn't limited at all by how fast they kill enemies, but by how fast they move.
They wont be slowed down in the slightest, and will simply get more loot. If we give them more XP too, paragon lvls could have been awarded as your character hit lvl 60 (maybe not that dramatic, but still).
I think this is the best route to take, and also, it gives you MF above the cap so its even more valuable than paragon lvls
Also, "Square-quality gems no longer drop in Inferno difficulty" does this mean only flawless square will drop, or only radiant+ will drop?
I kinda want neither, because if no more square, the tome of jc lose all worth, and if radiant is going to be top gem it's gonna be a pain =/

You don't complain about Staff of Herding being BoA, right?
It simply opens a secret pony lvl, and gives no actual advantage in combat. Before we know the ring is viable while used for combat, I think we can simply wait and see what will happend. No point to start complaining about it yet.
0
Please, I understand that you want to complain, but when you start complaining before there is any real explanation on it is just stupid. For all we know it may be a ring that is purely cosmetic. Or opens a story line arc.

Well, sometime you should make the step trough the wall of haters and try to find whats behind it, because many people are totally ready to accept you as a human being no matter religion and sexual orientation.
Also, if you are willing to play hardcore I can definitely make you feel comfortable having a conversation with a straight person after a week or two
0
Which should be nearly impossible for all and really challenging for the best equipped is my hope!
OT: I'm gonna roll with 1 monster power until I feel comfortable (probably a few months due to me playing hardcore! xD)

Quite often actually.
If you need interesting conversations straight people can provide that too you know.
Id probably not talk about hot male celebrities, but I can talk about most other stuff (and I also tend to never shut up :P)
I'm on EU though, so not really gonna work out.
However, I think you underestimate what certain straight people can talk about
