[Mir96TA]

I am having hell of problem with game performance.
When game dense with Monsters my FPS get 12.
I am playing on following hardware.
CPU i5 3570 (no oc)
Ram 8 Gig
Video XFX 7970 1Ghz
MB AsRock Z68
Display 2560x1600 (Dual- Dvi)
HDD to is WD 1 TB Black Cache with 60 Gig SSD
InterNet is 25 d/n 2 up via Ethernet LAN
Router is linksys E4200 (dd-wrt)
Can't figured what is the problem.

Anyone else notice that when doing split bounties, you don't get rift tokens for other players completing bounties?

Like if I complete 1 bounty and my team does the other 4, I will only get 1 rift token for the bounty I completed. I still get the XP and gold for the other bounties being completed, but no rift tokens.

Is this how it's been the whole time? Could have sworn I got rift tokens from other players completing bounties that I'm not presently at.

I still get the caches though.

I figured out how they work, here you go:

The first bounty done in an act, does not give a keystone
The second bounty through the fifth bounty give a keystone
In a split bounty game, all you need to do is port to the beginning of the bounty when the person completes it to get the token with them
You get double (two normally, four on the anniversary buff) keystones from the cache

There is a max of six keystones per act.

Thank you for this. Was this how it was the entire time bounties became available? I could have sworn when RoS came out, you could be away from the bounty zone that someone else was completing, and still get the XP, Gold, and Rift Token.

You always get the experience and gold. The only way to get the keystone is to be on the bounty itself.

Someone is clearing the Khazra Den bounty. All you have to do is click to the waypoint of the Fields of Misery, the start of the bounty, before they kill the last mob.

Cool, I guess I always assumed I was getting the rift tokens as well even when I wasn't in the same zone for that abounty.

Anyone notice a drop in drops? I might be just getting unlucky, but I've done probably 5 rifts since the buff was "taken off" and have gotten 1 legendary. Also, about 1500 shards spent on Kadala and only gotten a single legendary from her. I wonder if they really didn't apply the buff.

 

[ScottAD]

Haven't noticed a change. Had 2 litany rings drop, Akkhan chest from Kadala as well as Leorics Crown and some other unmentionables

Not Enough Information...

"5 rifts" doesn't mean anything unless you specify what T level and multiplayer or single.

I played rifts (T4/T5) in multi-player with others AFTER the anniversary buff and I *did* have a good number of legs. Although I too experience extreme variances...some days are just horrible and on other you get a sh!tload of legs in one single rift. (This WITH the bonus buff applied).

As for Kadala...1500 is not enough to come to whatever conclusion. I spent about 30.000 shards so far and have never, ever seen a Cindercoat, just saying. It happens often I spend 500 and don't get anything.

RNG is just a bitch, sometimes...

Got a low mask of Jeram (84%) from ewok a week or two ago. This weekend got a so-so tall man finger while on my wizard, starting playing my WD and got a T&T after only like 300 shards.

And now I have a T3 WD that doesn't even have gems lol. Time to start praying for zuni pieces and maybe a starmetal.

Star metal isn't great, with the current bug for sycophants. You're better off not even using fetish army as a skill, as you can keep 15 fetishes up without it. Same for Zuni pieces. A Sun Keeper is your best bet, weapon wise. 20-30% damage to elites can't be beaten, IMO. Throw in an SoJ and 3-p Aughild's is incredible against elites / bosses.

What's the current bug?

 

[TallBill]

Nevermind I found it, but heres a quote from blue over at b.net

Currently, fetishes summoned through the Fetish Sycophant passive are replacing the oldest fetishes, and that includes those summoned by Fetish Army. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, except that many Witch Doctors now have very powerful fetishes being summoned through Fetish Army, and those bonuses do not apply to fetishes summoned through the passive (as noted in the quote!). The good news, though, is that this is a bug that we intend to fix in patch 2.1.

Our plan is to separate the fetish cap for each these skills, so that new fetishes summoned with the Fetish Sycophants passive will only replace older fetish sycophants. Fetishes summoned through Fetish Army will remain for the duration of Fetish Army (possibly forever for those of you with the Zunimassa 4 piece bonus).

I'm sure it'll be a while until I get my 4 zuni pieces anyways so I'll keep trying for zuni. I'd definitely like a sun keeper and SOJ, but can't really make them drop. Curious what element I should focus on though, currently running fire but I guess that really only helps garg + big zombie dog.

Been trying to get a jade chest to complete my set+quetz, and two dropped for me last night. Gave one to a buddy for his wd. Not only that, d-h buddy got maurader pants adn helm to drop so I have full maurader set as well now.

Jade is really powerfull, but I feel alot more squishy using it. Gonna try solo t6 to see how it really stack vs pets.

I've been trying to get Jade Shoulders and/or Chest for a while now. Been spending all my shards on shoulders. I have the other pieces, including the Quetz helm, but just want the chest and/or shoulders so I can at least try out the full bonus, minus the Quetz helm (I'll have to wear the Jade helm).

I seem to have the worst luck. A friend of mine has amazing luck. He's found 4 or 5 SoJ's, he's got the full Jade set, has found two Tall Man's Fingers I believe, has gambled 3 Mirrorballs, a Tasker and Theo, etc. The other day He had been gambling for a little while going after a Quetz helm. He got the first one, didn't like the stats, and decided he'd keep gambling for a second one with better stats. He got the second one like an hour or so after the first. Lucky bastard.

Physical is the best for pets build I believe. I am running physical, but I don't have a good amulet (not even a legendary one) and only have physical damage on bracers.

I haven't gotten an SoJ yet, but I have 2 Sun Keepers. Best one is only like 1950 DPS, but 25% elite damage is a lot. I think I will be hard pressed to find a one handed weapon that increases my damage 25%.


I am starting to look for Jade set, however, I am sure I will have to drop my Aughild's shoulders for it (and lose the 3 p bonus). Not something I am looking forward to.

Yeah I'm having this problem too with the PC in my sig, I'm probably going to play around with it tonight and see if I can figure out what the deal with it is. Are you using the darken/sharpen filters at all? I was thinking maybe it was that but toggling it off didn't seem to do anything.

If I recall correctly, the anniversary buff (and subsequently, the new base rate) never applied to Kadala. Her drop rate has remained the same.

Also, the buff was taken off last Thursday I believe, so you've only run 5 rifts in the past 3-4 days? You should do a lot more. I remember I got mad drops in 1 rift, then none in the next 4-5. Over the past 5 days or so I've seen no drops, lots of drops, and consistent drops, but it does feel like the buffed up numbers have stayed.

Did quite a few more, and ended up getting some legendaries. Although, the number stills seems lower than before. However, I did get 4 in one run. It was probably just bad luck. It did feel though, like legendaries were no longer raining from the sky.

As for Kadala, they may have said there wasn't a buff, but I was averaging 2-3 legendaries per 500 blood shards. Now, I am lucky to get a single one. It might just be bad RNG, but I've gambled an additional 2000 shards and gotten a single legendary. So, that is 2 for 4500. I've lost count of how many I've spent looking for T&T, but is is upwards for 20,000 I know it. =(

 

[lupi]

Buff taken off? I thought they posted that it was not going away and now the standard drop rate.

It is the standard drop rate now. The buff became the "norm"

Got a low mask of Jeram (84%) from ewok a week or two ago. This weekend got a so-so tall man finger while on my wizard, starting playing my WD and got a T&T after only like 300 shards.

And now I have a T3 WD that doesn't even have gems lol. Time to start praying for zuni pieces and maybe a starmetal.

Is it just me or have mask of jerams just been dropping like flies? I must have found about 6 since the buff. I remember grinding for weeks before getting a tnt and mask of jeram in the same game a week before the buff. I thought I was so l33t, lol.

If only I could find a T&T. =(

 

[digiram]

Drop rate must be extremely low for star metal kukri. It's the last piece I need to fully complete my wd. I've yet to have one drop. Anyone here has one? I've only had 1 ren ho drop as well, and thought about salvaging it at first.. lol

 

[smackababy]

I don't have a SMK, but even if I did, I wouldn't use it. It really isn't worth it IMO. I suppose, using the Big Bad Voodoo every elite pack might augment the 25% elite damage (using the 30% damage rune), but that only counts if the Sycophant fetishes count for the CD reduction. I am not particularly looking for one, although, I would probably keep one if I did find it. A nice 2400 DPS one would be nice.
