Aug 7, 2014st0rmie posted a message on Furnace and Rimeheart Changes, New Crusader Set, Amazonian Parma Affix, PTR Disabled Mechanics, D3 and Reaper of Souls SalesSo given that Diablo III had 15 million sales announced in February, I guess that would probably break down to something like 16 million sales of the game and 4 million of the Reaper of Souls expansion?Posted in: News
That seems a bit disappointing.. although not nearly as bad as all the haters were confidently predicting. -

Good to get official confirmation that I can now stop paying any attention to Seasons, since I'm never going to play in one.In order to create a Seasonal hero, you'll need to have an empty character slot in your roster. If you do not have an empty character slot at the start of a Season, you will need to first delete one of your active heroes.

Apr 18, 2014st0rmie posted a message on XP Farming Guide With No Good Gear Required, Blizzard's Builds Initiative: Theorycraft Thursdays, Starter Pet WD BuildI don't think it's particularly cool for DiabloFans to be front-page promoting "farming methods" which are quite simply cheating. Really lowers to tone of the site, imho.Posted in: News

Apr 8, 2014st0rmie posted a message on Patch 2.0.4 NotesThat's some pretty vigorous buffs to some skills in there.. to be fair, skills that weren't particularly popular and surely needed a buff. Makes me a little nervous though to see a patch buff skills by 30% or 40%, I hope they did their maths carefully and haven't just introduced a new set of OP skills for this month.Posted in: News

And by the way, I was delighted to see that the $A pricing for Australian customers was a 100% fair direct conversion of the $US price - I was bummed when this wasn't the case for the original D3 release, so nice to see that corrected. I'm sorry to hear that Euro customers are getting screwed but the Aussie price is $A44.95 which converts to $US40.10 at the moment.
Bought Standard Edition, can't wait for March 25!

Sep 18, 2013st0rmie posted a message on Diablo III Auction House is Shutting Down on March 18, 2014Posted in: NewsQuote from Evolution85The problem with the AH was it turned the game into one where you play for the slim chance to get a drop good enough not to use on your own character, but to sell on the AH. Every piece of gear I have is from the AH. Because the drops suck, period. Itemization has been trash since day one. Instead of playing the game to improve my toons and experience the thrill of getting that awesome legendary or set piece, I play, praying that I get something that might sell on the AH so I can buy that better piece.
It's nothing to do with itemization.
The problem is not that drops "suck" or that itemization is "trash".
The problem is that you're comparing your drops to the drops listed on the AH by all the millions of other players. And of course, the chance of you finding something better than what is listed by the bucketload is incredibly tiny.
But there is literally nothing that could be done to drop rates that would change this situation. It would just move the goalposts of what you considered trash. Even if every second drop was legendary, you'd be in the situation where every piece of gear you had was from the AH, because you could get perfect legendaries with maximums in key stats for 20,000 gold, whereas you'd never seen anything drop yourself with perfect stats.
Quote from Evolution85I am glad to see the team returning to the roots that made the Diablo franchise one of the greatest franchises of all time.
/cheers
By the way, I completely agree with you that this is a good move!! Just disagree with your analysis as to why it is a good move. -
Sep 17, 2013st0rmie posted a message on Diablo III Auction House is Shutting Down on March 18, 2014Wow, I had not even begun to consider the possibility of ever dreaming of seeing that one coming!!Posted in: News
Absolutely stunned and amazed!
I would say that the genie was out of the bottle already, but given that this will no doubt coincide with the expansion launch, this might just work!! Even more excited about Reaper of Souls now!! -

Can we count the 2 million+ people who bought copies of the game even after it was already four months old and trolls like you had been telling us for three months and 29 days that it sucked and everyone hated it? -

..if it wasn't that easy to fix the problems of mobs required for Champion's Collection / A Rare Phenomenon / A Unique Collection achievements either not spawning, or not giving credit, then they damn well should have just removed them from the achievement, which would have been an easy fix. -
Jan 17, 2013st0rmie posted a message on Message from Jay WilsonPosted in: News
lol, he steered Diablo III development into being the top-selling PC game of the year, and as a result, Blizzard have tasked him with replicating that success on a new title. -
Dec 27, 2012st0rmie posted a message on The PVP Blog Is HereI have to say, I'm glad that I never had the slightest bit of interest in PvP in D3. I'd be pretty disappointed if I did want to PvP.Posted in: News

Oct 11, 2012st0rmie posted a message on Monster Power: More Guts, More GloryPosted in: News
Well, what does the article say it is?
In Inferno, in addition to increased experience, Magic Find, and Gold Find, whenever a monster dies and drops an item normally (whether it be gold, a potion, or a piece of gear), the monster also has a chance to drop an additional bonus item. The chance to drop a bonus item will scale up with each MP level as detailed in the table below.
(table shows bonus item % starting at 1% at MP1, up to 100% at MP10) -

What if they "touch" it by removing the trait and making it an innate ability of the Monk class? - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

Read Blizzard's announcement, it tells you when the season ends.

Any hot tips on what the best set might be, of the ones on offer?
I haven't played Wizard for a bit, maybe I should do that next season since I did see someone say Firebirds was pretty powerful?

I recommend clearing out your stash just before the end of the season, it will save you the inconvenience of being mailed hundreds of items.

2. Play a multiplayer game with people who feel the same way? So, you mean, abandon any possibility of joining a random game, only being able to play multiplayer with like-minded friends / clanmates? Sounds like a massive distortion of the game to me.

There was no "non-AH" mode you could play if you hated the way it distorted the game.
