Diablo 3

[devonin]

I don't see the point in playing HC with server-side lag ever in any game ever.

[MrGiggles]

It is kind of a pain when you die to server lag, especially when the game first came out and the network was crazy unreliable. I lost like ten characters to that shit. And the fucking double Izual bug? Before they nerfed his ice shenanigans? Please.

but on the other hand, it's really fun have the stakes so high, trying to find ways to survive on the hardest difficulty you can, etc. I've also got little patience for grinding, so I have more fun leveling from 1-20 than from 55-56.

I'm shaking the rust off with a 13 wizard on expert. I tried master for a bit, but had trouble killing regular bats in under five seconds.

edit: immediately found a legendary amulet. Oh yes, these drop rates are nice.
edit2: oh my god another legendary this isn't even the same game anymore.

I leveled a wizard to paragon 5 before the new patch on hardcore. It's not really very hard to not die, even with server lag. You just over level and over gear for pretty much everything, though I don't know how the new patch would affect things since enemies level much differently now. Back in the day the only real scary part of the game was Belial on Inferno, but I haven't even fought him since patch.

Honestly with the changes though you could just grind Act I all the way to 60 lol. Then just get amazing gear, drop the difficulty to normal and clean up the game if you want to. So I would imagine hardcore is even easier in that sense.


Meanwhile, I found a rare helm just laying out and about while grinding that was better than my multi million dollar mempho. o_o

Started playing HC characters myself too.

Got a DH up to 51 but failed due to a bad skill layout and unfortunate modifiers on a rare pack.

Getting a sorc up now, at 20 atm and the leveling is a joke.

Keep in mind there's 50% bonus XP on right now until the 24th.

Just got RoS digital collectors.

Gonna wreck Crusader when it's live.


Just wondering now how long it takes for preorder/bonus items to arive!

[Hakulyte]

20th march for digital preorder/bonus items. (don't need to be claimed/in-game email)
31th march for the box claim. (must be claimed or can actually lose them)

[darklordsarumon9]

Actually got my items just a few min ago in D3 :P

Still waiting for that WoW mail!

Bump for crusader hype

[Samwais]

Just managed to get my HC wiz to 60+20 before the expansion hits hehu.

Not really that hype for crusader though, might be because I played way too much paladin in D2 and crusader just looks like a rehash ;w; Might still level one up because why not.

The fact that it looks like a rehash of a Paladin is exactly WHY I really want to play it.

All hail Wizard master race,

Started again, had like 30k sheet dps or something crappy (was enough for pre-nerf inferno diablo). Only played a tiny bit after the inferno nerf (paragon 16). Now I'm almost Paragon 150, sheet dps doesn't really mean a lot now but I'm floating around ~150k buffed. Doesn't count my 53% after the fact cold damage increase (20% Azurewraith, 20% Andariels, 13% Bracers) or Arcane Orb bonuses (8% Crit Tal'Rasha orb, 15% Dmg Boots) or the 10% bonus against chilled monsters/6% Crit against ignited (Conflag + MW ignite). Can't find a weapon with both int and a socket, Azurewrath was too good to pass up with the freeze and cold damage though, still a dps increase. (Plus is freeze-locks elites/bosses, which is super handy on higher torments)

Can comfortably do T4, But the public groups are full of under-geared players looking to be carried, so I usually run T3 super fast. T5 is doable but jailer/vortex in bad combinations is brutal, and T6 is silly, except for Cota runs. Running MI over TP since it still gets me out of walls (usually) and jailer, and its a short cooldown dps increase.

[DarkbearX]

new tal rasha set owns lol. i'm a pull monk but my buddy's got the full set and its just meteors everywhere. Put his dps down by 100k to sacrifice for the set (mainly the offhand is shit compared to others out there) but i think the meteors definitely make up for it.

also i need seven sins bad.

[Hakulyte]

Anyone is interested to trade leftover gear in their stash now that Auction House is down for good and that the value of these items will become nearly worthless with lvl70 gear?

We could even make a FFR clan now that they have this option too lmao.

[Izzy]

I'd join once the expansion comes out.

[devonin]

Already in a clan, sorry.

[darklordsarumon9]

Areeeeee youuu readyyyyy

I should be prepared.

Also did some speedruns on normal, I think this is pretty good

[devonin]

I got an amulet that has the enchantment of just rendering me immune to arcane damage. That sucker is staying on right up until I find a higher level version of it in the xpac.

[DarkbearX]

Yea those ammies are really good. I got countess julia/aranoch ready to swap at all times (also full blackthornes super tank):

Here's a ring I want real bad:
