**OFFICIAL** Diablo 3 Thread

[TheKub]

Is anyone else not going to use the RMAH just out of principal like me? I'm unhappy with Diablo 3 as a whole so I refuse to put more money into Blizzard's pockets though RMAH fees...

I was.... Then I decided to throw a set of OK Melee gloves on there just to see and they sold for $7. The likelyhood that I am going to put new money into the game is near zero but spending money that I made by selling stuff I'm fine with.

finally got around to beating normal this morning before work. Act 4 is... dissapointing and very, very short. i would even go as far as calling it bland. Act 1, 2 and 3 were decent setting wise at least.
Ive been constantly over leveled and overgeard since act 1, so the entire run through was cake. only used 2 health potions and breath of heaven a couple times. Had a few close calls. Diable himself i could see as being much harder if i wasnt overpowered. It was fun to run through.

Played the first little bit of nightmare and didnt really expect to see the difficulity jump that much, but i was pleasntly surprised. 2-3 hits for a low level zombie with a lvl 34 monk was a nice change of pace after 1-2 shotting most things in act 4.

ive noticed the gold drops are a TON better in nightmare already. 400g from a random stump? yes please!

It's all fun and games until act 2 inferno. (at least until the nerf, then that might be fun again too)

 

[Anubis]

I am about done with this game, after a few days being hyped and happy about it.

But the rage factor and me being pissed off about MANY aspects of the game is slowly taking over. The rage, anger starts to outweigh the joy about playing.

I am actually looking forward to torchlight 2, even if the graphics of Tl might not be that great.

Blizzard can shove RMAH, Inferno difficulty, crap loot, SMS verification etc. up their own ass. I want to have fun playing a game and i hope TL2 will give this fun back and will turn out a game NOT made with the primary intention to piss people off.

mines not rage its apathy, for some reason i stoped caring, ive gotten 3 chars to 60 and beaten hell, ill prob get the last 2 classes there and call it a day, my interest in inferno is basically non existant, i was excited about it when they announced it but not so much once i found out that it was a brick wall that required hours and hours of farming of millions of gold to progress through each act

back to BF3

 

[EDUSAN]

I was not able to sell any of my stuff... im so sad

i got items at 3,5,20,35,45 dollars (the 45 one was a legendary), none of them seems to be selling

i think its just a bit of luck of someone looking at your item in the ocean of people sorten through items

maybe if i put the same item again at the same price and someone sees it maybe it will get sold... im not sure if it was not sold because of the price

==

a friend gave me WP of Maghda quest so i could bypass all the shitty wasps in act2... so with a monk friend we were being destroyed... it was very frustrating. We farmed act1 for like 1 week and we were not even close to get the items needed to survive act2.
We were like: how items are we supposed to have to survive and kill stuff in this act? we seem to not have enough of ANYTHING right now, so we had to spend a couple millions in the AH

==

for the guys saying that the gold AH went crazy, i still find some upgrades pretty cheap, and im still selling at prices that i think are good. I almost never place an item above 100k

 

[slayer202]

Gold auction house isn't too different from what I've seen, though there are definitely less items in general.

Money auctions are slower, even for well priced items. I bought an ammy for $5 and listed it for $35, below anything else that was similar(200+ int with ias. mine had some dmg that most others didn't). Still took over a day to sell(I kind of regret selling it lol).

The two weapons I sold went quickest. I have some other stuff that I think is priced cheaply compared to similar items but it's still sitting. People are less impulsive with buying for real money

 

[darkxshade]

You need to price them competitively. Heck I made 3 more microtransactions since my last post with the screenshot although I expanded my budget to 150k and lowered the RMAH prices. Blizzard is going to love me. Made them 5 bucks and roughly 15 for myself with a few clicks of the mouse.

I hope prices drop soon so I can use my earnings to buy some stuff back cheap.

 

[onza]

If we all had time we could make a killing playing the AH. Too bad blizzard charges 1.00 per transaction vs basing it on a percentage of list price

 

[DisgruntledVirus]

I'm going to give it until 1.03 then decide if I want to spend time on it anymore. I might switch to hardcore characters instead too as it seems that's where the quality players go.

i would wait before going hardcore.... the terrible lag spikes sometimes and the completely idiotc change in difficulty from common enemies to elites in the higher difficulties made me think twice before starting a hardcore...

i could have great gear and play really defensive, but i feel that the game can kill me PRETTY EASILY with a combination of properties in a elite boss even though i could be killing stuff with no problem

everything needs to be mroe balanced for me to wanting to play a 1life char

 

[DrunkenSano]

I've been playing Hardcore since the game started and have no problems with lag spikes. But my pace is really slow, I'm only in NM right now and before leaving Normal, my lead characters already have a ton of hp, 8000+. It really is a lot different from regular since you actually take your time and build up your characters first. I remember a couple of weeks ago, the random group I was with decided to not go for Belial because not all of us were over 3000 hp.

 

[gothamhunter]

I have a 58 to vit 13% IAS ammy...what's that worth on the RMAH?

 

[darkxshade]

nothing


if it was a ring however, maybe $2+ depending on other stats

 

[EDUSAN]

or it could be worth $100, the market is weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeird lol

 

[BadgerYou]

a 2 dollar sale would net you $0.70, every bit counts! (if you cash out to paypal)

 

[BadgerYou]

My Dex/IAS ring doesn't even show up on the RMAH since its Lvl 53. (even though its better than a majority of the rings on the AH with Lvl 60) The only way it shows up is if someone looks for rings with 100+ dex and IAS. I am sure that is the reason why many people's better items are sitting idol on the RMAH.

 

[OCNewbie]

Man, I really LOVE the main menu music for D3! It's really dramatic and beautiful.

Why would anyone bother searching for lvl 60 rings and nothing else? I almost never use the level reqs. If I want ias/dex I search for those. I doubt this is your problem

 

[Nashemon]

Except Act II; Ear piercing. Always have to change my char out of Act II when browsing the AH.

When you limit the search criteria to just dexterity and ias and dont put in minimum values and you are a lvl 60 searching it spits out all the level 60-59 items which is the 49 pages of items. (which seems to be the limit of pages for a search). So if your item is lvl 57ish or below and people are not adding in minimum values for their stats than it is less likely to get seen in a search.

You're right, it probably isn't my only problem but I'm sure it doesn't help.

That's exactly what Inferno is supposed to be and was always advertised as though. The game for normal people ends at Hell; Inferno is your "Everest".


Also I'll never understand the complaints about loot lol. How much 'good' stuff you find is pretty much the same as any other Diablo game or Diablo clone.

This is what is funny...

If I was to give yo ua choice between:

A) Give you $10, but also give the person you hate most in the world $20
or
B) Give you both $0

Many people decide B over A, because they refuse to help someone they don't like more than thenselves, even though you still come out $10 more ahead.

I choose A, sure I will sell on the RMAH, but to me it is just a game and I will not buy on it.

Man i love theorycrafting... and thinking builds...

im at work but i cant stop thinking about a dot build for my WD, since the zombie bear KILL OR BE KILLED build that worked in act1 is not working in act2 inferno.

would a build with... locust swarm, slowing grasp, spirit walk, poison cloud, zombie wall and probably slowing dart (or maybe rain of toads) work?
i would like to add horrify in there though
SV passive for survivaility, is there a slow enemies passive?, and i was thinking about the 15% mana cost goes to hp since i wont be using the 300% mana regen

just kiting... darts, poison cloud (i think i heard it stacks), grasp, locust swarm, zombie wall more darts and running, a lot of running

I have a Wiz and a WD and i find weird how the WIZ have so many CC/escape mechanism and the WD has a couple slows and not much more than that, so i cant play the same way with them. While the WIZ is able to dish damage and get out, i cant never really get out with the WD

 

[IAteYourMother]

Just sold my first item, a set of shoulders for 25 bucks ( i keep 20). I think it was like 120ish Dex, 60ish vit, 50-60 all resist and 30 cold resist.

Feels good man

I know what you mean. I rock a WD to. I've made it past Magda in Act 2, but can't get past the elites in the caldeum sewers. So, I've been stuck farming Road to Alcarnus.

My build is as follows,

Poison Darts - splinter
Grasp of dead - lower cool down
Spirit Walk - longer duration
Gargantuan - Restless Giant
Fetishes - the one with more Fetishes
Voodoo - Long duration solo, Give friends more attack in co-op

Skills - Tribal something (lower cool down for fetish+voodoo), Jungle Fortitude, and Pierce the viel(something like that)

This build takes patience, but it's not too bad. Idea is that your templar+garg, will tank, while you use grasp to slow down enemies and shoot darts at range. Fetishes and Voo doo are used on large mobs and/or elites. Spirit Walk is a must have escape tool. I'm a decent weapon and some armor away from making it through act 2 though.
