Diablo 3

[Rebirth0]

I have 300/30 down/up speeds and even I get a lot of lag on D3. It's shitty blizzard servers

at first i thought it was my video card, but then it would lagg in other games. I think its the worst idea they could ever have to force us to play online, whoever had that idea will burn in hell much longer than me.

So...how did it go for you ?? Also, what do you mean by highspeed, personally i consider anything under google fiber a non-highspeed connection. Your thoughts ?

i worked on stepmania/ffr files instead

idk i get weird precursory lag when i log in but i can kinda understand why that happens

i don't ever get video lag (stutter for Izzy), i didn't have any lag when i was on today and i ran a few rifts

Are you botting act 3? I see you on 24/7 lol

It won't freeze for as long, or teleport as far. But its certainly more frequent, especially with skills that involve a lot of movement. Very noticeable as a melee class, I couldn't really get into them as much as ranged with the exception of elemental cleave templar, back when that was somewhat popular.


On the d3 front, very few drops today but 2 SoJs a new Jade harvesters shoulders (upgrade but not new piece still @2) with 3 max rolls (100 AR/15% life/15% Haunt damage) and that zuni offhand... The other WD in my clan that has been playing WD exclusively since RoS launch is very very angry at me heh.

@Choof none whatsoever even when opening inventory? It seems like thats been a problem universally. I usually have to open inventory when entering a new rift floor so I don't lock up for 2-3 seconds when I need to switch nemesis.

[choof]

(what is nemesis)

yeah, I don't get any stutter outside of initial load

[omega_grunt666]

Nemesis bracers, spawns an elite when you pop a shrine. My pair isn't good enough to be mystic'd into an upgrade, But I carry them around and switch when I hit pylons/shrines in rifts for extra loot. Everyone in my clan on various systems freeze shortly (0 fps 1-4 seconds) when opening up their inventory for the first time in a new map. Maybe its a location problem.

i don't get stutter (ever), but my pingspikes are high because of my apartment

[hi19hi19]

My solution to the server lag is just to have 700 ping all the time so I get used to it.

It's like training in 10x gravity.

Since I randomly picked up magefist, cindercoat and serpent sparker in a matter of two days, I decided to play around with a fire build.

I don't know what I'm doing though.

Someone that knows how to build fire take a look at my skills and tell me what to change ;o

Also what other gear should I be looking for, other than the obvious (anything I pick up with +fire& dps :P )

Still working on my archon build as priority though but even with this extremely suboptimal gear (don't even have sockets on cinder yet and haven't replaced any other gear) I was blazing (no pun intended) through T1.

are pingspikes when the game seems to freeze completely for ~2 seconds and then "fast-forwards" to catch back up? this was happening to me yesterday and it hasn't happened since the first few times I've played it

also I'm guessing Magefists are really good gloves but only when they're level 70 cuz I found some extremely early on and they suck :/

[Izzy]

I have 100mb down and things still get fucked up. More download speed shouldn't really make a difference though, it shows having 50-120 ms latency which should be very smooth. It seems like the diablo servers are actually having a hard time processing all the info and fails to keep up at times.

I normally call it delay rather than lag because it isn't a latency issue.

there's a console command to force a resync and I bound it to a mouse button, if that answers your question.

btw I kept getting DC'd last night, a couple of times in the middle of arcane frozen assholes. So not only do I get my bounties reset, I get to have a god damned heart attack.

[darklordsarumon9]

I might just be missing it, but how do I join Rift it Forward again?
I try to /join (which might be the wrong way in itself) but it says invalid chat.

[Hakulyte]

You search it in communities and add it there.

[darklordsarumon9]

I got it.

I'm a moron :P

Probably wouldn't roll the elemental off Andis or elite damage of hellcat, you can get some survivability by crafting Aughilds or Ashaeras if you have the recipe. Looks like you just need to find some replacement pieces over your arcane stuff, elemental on bracers etc. I would probably stick with wave of force OR meteor (4 attacks seems a little excessive?), and take familiar for more damage, TP for utility/survivabiliy, or MI/Diamond skin for survivability depending on preference.

A royal ring of grandeur would make crafting sets a little easier to fill bonus on, so if you do bounties try focusing act 1 or 3 if you get bored (3 was the all reward cache right?). If you want maximum legendaries, find a group to play with on a regular basis, even if its just one other person. And do rifts on the highest torment you can comfortably clear.


People need to be in the FFR community, JOIN CHAT WHEN YOU'RE ON, you have the manually join each time you log.

[Izzy]

Seriously? I have to manually join every time? That is incredibly annoying.

[cetaka]

is it though

I think I'd be better off with more All Res on my gear now because I have no points into %armor but that's where they're going now that I've maxed All Res so I might as well plan ahead. Once I get 50/50 into %Armor, having armor on all my gearslots that have that choice is over 5% toughness better than All Res.

Been thinking about this and I'm not sure it makes sense

I did the math and there are no diminished returns on AR. I don't think it matters at all how much of which you have, only the relative values you're able to get off gear.

Like, if your health is 100k and you have 300 AR, you have 50% mitigation. EHP = 200k, so the bonus per AR is 333.3

If you have 900 AR, you have 400k EHP, which is also exactly 333.3 bonus per AR.

I don't think it matters and I don't think there are any diminished returns.

If anything, gear wise AR always seems to be better than +Armor on most pieces, since the relative effective bonus per AR is higher than for Armor on most +armor rolls on most items. Armor would have to roll over 450 to be more useful than your typical 90-100 AR rolls, and I don't see it rolling high on many items. An armor roll of +500 or higher though is definitely worth taking though as that can't really be beaten in terms of mitigation.
