    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    My current frog build - they crit for 3 mill, fetishes crit for 3 mill also. Pretty fun. Been split farming normal for great drops. Paperdoll is 800k damage now. Madruk (Madruk#1843) :: DiabloProgress - Diablo 3 Rankings

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    There were two issues, as I understand it. The current issue with 2h is that when the patch hit, there were no more ilvl60+ items dropping, which means even though they "fixed" the damage rolls for 2h, they are still rolling lower stats due to lower ilvl. Starting today with the expac, we can...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    For us, it has nothing to do about going fast. It's just something fun to do as a group. We aren't racing anyone (there's really nothing to race). That anyone on this forum finds any of this disturbing or out of order is odd to me.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Just shoot me a message in game. As for the socking comments - I agree there is nothing significant to warrant it ingame. For me (and seriously, no one here owes anyone any explanations) it's just fun to do every now and then. I've got a full group of friends running the entire night with me...

    My normal build for these things is: Full nights sleep the day before. Nap at least a couple hours before I get started. Water only. "Snacks" 2 1lb bags of dried fruit. Unsalted Peanuts Unsalted Almonds Misc fresh fruits and/or veggies I'll usually eat 2 meals in a 24 hour run...

    It's fine for now. When the 100% buff is gone, it's likely going to be in line with any other route.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    With the XP buff (100%) cota seems to be the same as it was before. I hit 300 this morning though (my goal before RoS), so now I'm taking it easy till release. I don't think the nerf was THAT bad, and it could still be a viable run, just not so good as before. All you guys asking about witch...

    The legs are BOA, as are all craftable sets and legendary's now, as far as I know.

    Use the passive only that spawns them with basic attacks. I have an army of them out 100% of the time. Seems like the max is 9 at a time.

    There's a video somewhere that has some scenes of various craftable props, and in them was a quick section that showed trees and bushes and plants. I'll try to find it for reference.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Yes, in 1.04. I think ubers still have them to some degree. I also thought I read somewhere that they are/were bringing them back (I could be wrong, don't quote me). Edit *they removed enrage timers on Elites - I don't know/remember if they did on bosses, I never ran into one.*

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Fields of Misery on A1 has excellent density. Apparently Keep Depths 2 received an upgrade to density as well - I haven't tried it out yet as all my gear was either sold or is still in the AH. Hopefully tonight I can check it out. I hit paragon 100 using the old Alkaizer run in A3 before they...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Haven't we established this is subjective? I thought the old version was fun to a degree. You (and many others) didn't. Why do you care if it's fun? You spent multiple pages here shitting on the game and anyone who said they enjoyed it. Are you baiting people into claiming they enjoy it so you...

    Asheron's Call 2, Brand New Server Dawnsong Turbine bringing back!

    My best and only memory of this game was /gokart. And paying for a 1 month sub to some website to get beta access.

    Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2

    I finished mof last night at 100% on the hardest available setting and enjoyed almost every minute of it. I also enjoyed most of LoS and even some of the story. I'm looking forward to playing this.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Hey, a positive reply! Fair enough on most of your points. I'll still get the game and likely enjoy some of it. Even if only to the extent you enjoyed the console version (which was acceptable to you). I get that you want it to bomb because maybe it will make Blizzard think again about what they...

    Are the controls a little...sluggish for you? I feel like the game lags all the time. (MoF)

    Thanks, Tuco. Almost spit out my coffee. +1 sir. AA, honest question - if you hate the game so much, why post in this thread? Why try to convince people not to play it? You aren't going to win anyone to you side, especially with comments like that. I get that Blizzard, in your opinion(and...

    Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2

    I finally finished LoS last night. Personally I liked the ending. I immediately loaded up the HD Mirror of Fate, and am about 3 hours in. I'm determined to finish it before LoS2.

    What's funny to me is that I spent more time on p99 since August than all of my time in d3.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I never equated fun to botting in either game. I wasn't even trying to draw comparisons to how people botted then and now. I was just making a statement that I play d3 differently than I did in d2. And that the crowds I played with and observered considered a "hardcore" player to be one that...

    Excellent post, Amzin. I agree completely.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I absolutely was that player in D2 during the times I mentioned, but not initially. I'm older, my tastes have changed a little, and my approach to games is indeed different than it was 13 years ago. Perhaps this is why I chose not to exploit or bot in D3.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    AA, I really don't have anything to prove to you about what I think is fun for me, and I don't really care what is fun for you. My post wasn't directed at you, or anyone for that matter. I was simply sharing my personal experiences with what is likely a larger pool of real people in a daily...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Well, to be clear, this is just my experience and opinion. I suspect many had similar experiences. I certainly don't mean to impress my ideas of what is fun on anyone else.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    This. Most of the time you were not only botting, but if you were leveling, you didn't spend any points in skills, and banked all possible stat points until you hit your 80's, then you calc'd out the spec you thought you wanted, blew all your points and hoped your 6 hours of botting cow...

    You guys...lol. On a good note for me, people are still paying real money for gems. I just sold another 20 or so for about $20.

    Same here. I have 2 chapters left - must finish this week. Strider is tomorrow though...fffuuuuuu. I played the demo on steam with a 360 remote and it controlled like a charm.

    I went to the SOE event in SD on the 31st. I met with their head of Player Studio, and what he told our group was this exactly. They have a tool that can import objects created in things like Maya into the player studio suite, to be submitted. They absolutely have a group that reviews each item...

    Accidentally made an extra rubicite trimmed workbench. If anyone wants to trade for it, I'd take just some wood (40 burled planks), save yourself 1000 logs, 50 elemental rubicite, 5000 rubicite and 6000 cobalt.

    Piecemeal. I'm constructing them in open areas, then making them into templates with the hope to have enough room on my claim to stack as many rooms together as possible. Just need the rug to tie the room together.

    Thanks! I originally had the walls done in pretty 2D fashion looking identical to the original. A friend was watching me build and suggested I add some depth to it, so I played around a bit and ended up doing it like I am now. Obviously it's not exact, and I am by no means an expert with this...

    I enjoy the travel. I usually end up running thru several builds people are doing that I either missed, or weren't up when I passed by the last time. The explorer in me loves that I am forced to spend time on foot (or wire!) to get around. I for one am against fast travel, I feel it's a gateway...

    Every instance of a server restart has shown that the server page will update automatically when they are active. No promises this time, but that's been the precedent.
