I still consider myself a n00b at D3, how is that useful?

[Great Rumbler]

Let's stop talking about random D3 exploits and instead talk about D3 cosplay:







Thoughts?

Say you've gotten an ilv 63 rare weapon to drop.  In the past, before id'ing it you could sell it to some moneybags gambler for a couple hundred k in gold.  He was taking the off chance it was gonna be good and you were potentially making way more in gold for selling it pre-id than it was likely worth.  Now that this exploit is common knowledge, who's to say that you haven't filtered through everything you haven't id'd, keeping the good ones to sell or use and passing the crap on to the gambler.  It's a win-win for the seller and lose-lose for the gambler.

Since I can't write a support ticket about this issue I guess i have to make it public.

Class: Wizard

Repro:
Step 1: Select Teleport - Fracture. Bind it to a key
Step 2: Select Archon, tested with Improved Archon
Step 3: Hover your mouse over or near your charcter
Step 4: Press Teleport
Step 5: QUICKLY(!) Press Archon

Result: Character becomes Invulerable. No health loss at all, some effects like frozen don't work anymore.

Works in Softcore and in Hardcore. Needs a couple of tries to get it working, but once you have the timing it can easily be reproduced. This is pretty much gamebreaking, I hope to see a hotfix soon.

[Great Rumbler]

They're too busy nerfing monks to get around to that.

Welp, I guess they fixed it because I can't get it to work.

RUN AWAY, CM, RUN AWAY!

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/6294049594?page=1

Some guy has several good questions on the 2nd page.

[Cerveza mas fina]

In retrospect I have to say Diablo 3 was a pretty big failure because of some very simple mechanics that undermined the whole experience.

The AH ruined the progression till 60 making everything meaningless (unless you skipped it, but who did if its a in-game feature). The droprate till 60 was prob good and challenging if there would be no AH. Like now the game was a cakewalk. I havent played after 60 but apperently the lack of drops is the problem there.

The gameplay itself is AMAZING, the sheer joy or running and killing is superb. But the AH just ruined the whole experience.

[CajoleJuice]

Thank you for telling us what we all decided a couple of months ago.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Hehe well I guess it was obvious back then, but I was blinded by waiting for this game for a decade 

I remember laughing at my buddy who refused to go to the AH for a good while.

[Human Snorenado]

The presence of the AH itself isn't what ruins the game; the fact that finding truly useful items for Inferno is a near statistical impossibility on your own and thus you HAVE to use the AH is what ruins the game.  If you were able to get useful items to drop (or craft them) then the AH would just be a swap meet instead of the necessity that it is.

[Cerveza mas fina]

It ruins the game before Inferno too taking out all the challenge or strife, since youre always just a click away from getting uber loot that you would normally have to do a few runs for.

[CajoleJuice]

I was one of those.

But that was only because the first two difficulties are so easy. Even then, halfway through Nightmare I was like "AH TIME!"

[Cerveza mas fina]

Yeah and then you got some uber weapons that raises your DPS by 50% without any investment and there is no challenge again.

[Phoenix Dark]

The AH and drop rates go hand in hand. It's specifically designed to not drop good loot on a decent basis so you HAVE to use the AH - whether with gold or real money. That's pretty much Diablo 3's end game.

[demi]

Is there any reason to play the higher difficulties? I guess I shouldnt talk shit since I would easily do it on Xbox. : D

[demi]

Also Act 2 was complete garbage. Belial fight was sweet tho.

[Joe Molotov]

Higher difficulties have more insane champion mobs, like ones are just "rip your balls off and eat them" hard. But you get better loot (from the auction house  )

[BobFromPikeCreek]

Stop playing this turd.

[Human Snorenado]

Stop playing this turd.

 

First of all, I don't think many people are.  I've played like... twice in the past couple of weeks?  Just to get enough gold to buy another topaz recipe.  Second of all, the game isn't a "turd"- it's not shitty throughout and has a whole lot of potential.  People who act like this game is terrible are fucking distinguished mentally-challenged.  It has some serious issues but to try to pretend that it's outright shitty is a crock of shit. 

[Phoenix Dark]

uninstalled a few weeks ago. Will return when loot is fixed

might want to reinstall this weekend

[Verdigris Murder]

I played it for about 3 minutes guys!

[Human Snorenado]

I don't understand the mindset of people who uninstall shit.  Like, I'd have to play a really, really shitty game that I have no intention of ever playing again to do that.  Are you that hard up for storage space for tenshi pix, pd?

[BobFromPikeCreek]

I just wanted to type turd.

[Human Snorenado]

Personally, I like to say turdburglar.  It just rolls off the tongue so damn nice.  "Turdburglar"

Try it, you'll want to add it to your repertoire as well.

I was actually running out of space on my laptop, so I uninstalled D3 plus a bunch of other steam games I'm never going to get around playing

this

I need to buy a new hdd soon, and in the meantime don't have room for stuff I don't use. I also uninstalled TF2

All I play is SC2, some Tribes, and a bit of WoW. I might buy the PoE beta soon though; the open beta weekend has me fiending for more

[Human Snorenado]

laptops 

still have 728 gb free on my desktop

[Phoenix Dark]

(I don't have a laptop thank god)

but yea, earlier this year I was waiting for hdd prices to go down, and now I have no excuse. Especially with GW2 on the horizon, which will certainly take a lot of space.

40gb free right now 

[etiolate]

I had to delete LOTRO and Aion just so my other games could update. MMOs and Laptops don't mix.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Deleting just feels good.

[etiolate]

Not having to redownload feels better.

But maybe that's my shitty internet speaking.

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/6923456/104_Systems_Preview-8_10_2012

Highlights:

-in inferno, regular enemies are getting a 5-10% health increase, will be four times more likely to drop magic items.
-elite mobs/champion packs will have their health reduced by 10-25% and they're working on fixing affixes
-GF/MF will no longer "average" together if you're playing multiplayer; you'll get the full benefit of whatever your bonus is
-monster health bonus in multiplayer games is a flat 75% across all difficulty levels now (was 110% in Inferno)
-item level 61 and 62 weapons will be able to roll damage all the way up to the high end of level 63 weapons
-new set of stronger affixes for two handers to compensate for losing offhand stats/modifiers
-removing Enrage Timers and the “heal back to full” behavior from Champion and Rare monster packs (suck it WoW)
-reducing repair cost on high end items by 25%
-improving legendary items (this will get it's own blog entry in the coming weeks)
-major class changes coming (also going to get it's own blog entry)

Color me cautiously optimistic.  I'd still like some way to make crafting better/actually meaningful, but everything mentioned here is a positive change as far as I'm concerned.

edit: oh shit, last line:  "P.S. We’re getting rid of the Invulnerable Minions monster affix."

I'm actually kind of torn- in acts 1 and 2 my Wizard could deal with inv minions.  Venom Hydra and the piercing orb rune for Shock Pulse made them a serious pain but they could be dealt with... for melee classes I'm sure they were just a fucking nightmare though.  Shielding is bad enough, so I guess this is good news.

[demi]

This is all Inferno wank? Meh.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

1.0.4 is de patch 'o L-U-V

[Great Rumbler]

Yes! No more INVULNERABLE MINIONS HOARD ARCANE FIRE CHAIN!!
