I spent 120 alterations on an ilvl 68 imbued wand. Best roll I got was 37% (I was hoping to get a decent enough roll and then regal). I'm not saying the wand I lost out on was amazing. But comparitively, *decent* items are incredibly cheap compared to skill gems and even certain socketed items...

I did not read the entirety of this thread (the first two pages were mostly the same complaints I have) but I have to say... they pretty much write these shows to tailor to what a majority of people want to see. The audience and type of person that visits this forum is drastically more...

The economy in this game is so interesting. I just missed getting a wand with 18% implicit spell damage, 65% mod spell damage, 27-47 cold damage, 7% cold damage and one other meaningless mod. I offered 2 chaos, the guy sold it for 1 chaos, 1 alch just before I messaged him. That is SO much...

And this, in large part, is the reason we will never recapture the feeling and experiences we had in EverQuest. Though I think the driver is less about being lazy and more about keeping up with the jones'

I did not know that the vendors update their items after a level up. That is good to know, thanks!

3 color linked items don't trade for chromatics anymore? If that's true I'm guessing they just want chromatics to be worth more?

Not sure if this is true but I remember reading somewhere that they had planned on having 10 acts total eventually. If that happens I assume they will cut out the "extra" difficulties completely and just ramp up difficulty through acts (acts 1-3 are "normal", 4-6 are "cruel" with the -resists...

No I wasn't being sarcastic at all. I think it's a good approach. I like that when they re-evaluate something they feel is OP they take a moderate "nerf" approach instead of the usual knee-jerk nerf it to uselessness approach so many companies take.

I really like how GGG responds to "Overpowered" mechanics. Nerfing boss perma-stunning by simply adding diminishing returns to the effectiveness of Stun Threshold Reduction past 75%. Stunlock is still very viable against regular and even rare mobs and might even still be possible against bosses...

The distinct lack of Diddy Kong Racing mentions makes me think that nobody here actually played Diddy Kong Racing. It was basically the ballinest shit eva

That's why the currency system is top notch. You can pretty easily take that 2 socketed armor and turn it into at least 4 slots with jeweller's orbs, and you have a decent enough chance to make it 5. Of course linking those slots becomes the real problem but just getting the sockets isn't a big...

Thanks Kem, that's perfect. Also, I meant to say GMP not LMP. I know it's gotta be worth quite a bit more than 1 chaos even without qual.

Trading in softcore is a hassle and a half. So many people trying to buy stuff for absurdly low amounts. Had a guy offer 3 chromatic for a 8% qual LMP. When I said 2 low he said 1 chaos take it or leave it... then 2 more people tried to offer 1 chaos each and laughed and said GL when I told them...

There doesn't seem to be much of a point in doing it. I assumed you needed to kill her to do maps but I never killed her in merciless on my shadow and can still get to the laboratory and do maps. And where do granites even drop? I have yet to see one.

I have a question... not that Vaal Oversoul is easy but... people seem to have a lot of trouble with him in Merciless. Does anyone even attempt/kill Piety in Merciless in HC? She is way more brutal than Vaal in my opinion. And Lunaris Temple level 3 absolutely sucks.

Kripp says that because he likes to toot his own horn and because he was pushing the limits of mana with ~6 auras. You can cut 4 of those auras and it is still a great build. Also, anyone who tells you "mid game is going to be tough because you need great gear" is really saying "mid game is...

1986 was the greatest year for movies ever: Flight of the Navigator Youngblood

What's the radius on the explode? seems pretty large. Looks fun.

This game and it's passive tree are built for hardcore. The nature of how powerful the defensive passives are compared to the offensive ones, and the fact that you can generate a ridiculous amount of damage from one or two items and a good skill gem setup just screams "Always stack defensive...

You know... the first build I wanted to try was a "stunlock" build. The reason I didn't do it is because I figured bosses couldn't be stunned and rares had a very low chance. Well I just watched Kripp kill vaal in merciless... vaal never even attacked him... he kept him permastunned from 100...

I was thinking about a mass aura, eldritch battery, dominating blow witch or templar build today. Seems like it would work quite well.

Why exactly can't you offer first and third person views? EQ did it. I'm pretty sure, though not 100%, that I played EQ in third person while solo and grouping (I know for a fact I had to use first person in raids, turn off all spell effects, and essentially pan my camera to the ground so my...

I have that happen quite a bit. I'm pretty sure it has to do with collision detection between players (I get blocked by other players) and the fact that pathing in this game absolutely sucks. So instead of just running around the other players automatically the game runs me directly into them if...

One of the reasons information is so sparse might be because they are a small team and since this is still beta and the game and skills are very subject to change they don't want to create any informative lists just yet.

How would you do this? I definitely disagree with getting rid of the idea of alts. A large part of the charm and appeal of an alternate "class" (to me anyway) is going through the "levelling" process (whatever it may be) with stronger hand me down gear from my main and ripping through stuff I...

I wouldn't play a game with a system like that. You shouldn't be forcing someone to play a certain way during their level experience and if they don't... completely gimp their character. Also, it would make me NEVER want to make an Alt, which is bad for a game's longevity and replayability...

The original highlander was one of those "So bad it's good" movies. I mean... they had a Scottish actor (Sean Connery) playing a Spaniard (he can't sound anything but Scottish) and Christopher Lambert (who also cannot change his voice or accent) playing the Highlander. The dialogue was terrible...

Hey, just because it's an old system doesn't make it "bad". I personally want them to keep this game truer to the ARPG genre and that includes FFA loot in my opinion. Blizzard tried to make D3 some sort of weird ARPG/MMO hybrid and it killed all the replay value. FFA loot adds an extra level of...

I don't agree with your stance on loot in the game but the general confusion that occurs in group play is problematic. They need to do a few things in my opinion. Make rare and champion pack mobs more noticeable. Right now they are slightly differently colored (tinted blue or yellow) but it's...

I'm sure we will see a ton of cool builds that focus around specific uniques. Kind of like runeword builds in D2 but way more fun since the passive tree is so wide open.

I was watching nugiyen's stream today and one of the developers was in his mumble server talking about it. He said he was going to check what the exact damage was when he got back into the office but he suspects it wasn't very much more than kripp's hp count. He estimated the damage was probably...

How does rushing/PLing in this game work? I haven't seen any info on what happens with exp in groups with people certain levels higher/lower than you. I have a friend I'm trying to catch up, is it better to just rush him through quests and have him go group exp by himself or can I rush him in...

I went to trade chat with 2 level 50 6S armors just to see if I could get any bites. Was able to sell one of em for 2 chaos and 1 alch. Don't know if I found a sucker or what but I guess people are buying them already.

It would be nice if a company had the resources to create a game that had both the danger you seek (zones with content tuned for groups and only groups, not solo players) and solo friendly content. And I mean overland zones, not dungeons. Dungeons should always be tuned for groups. The danger in...

Are 6S weapons and armors worth anything for trading or should I just vendor them for the 7 jeweler's orbs?

How do auras like hatred work with blood magic? Do they reserve 30% of your hitpoints?

Never... ever do this. Only ask a trainer, never another gym member. I have heard so much bad information spewed as gospel at the gym by people who think they know what they are doing. It almost makes me want to slap them for teaching beginners all kinds of bad habits... like hitting your chest...

I think it's kind of fair to blame the bleeding edge guilds for that jello. I mean, blizzard hired two very prominent guild leaders who were in charge of coming up with a lot of the strategy involved in exploiting the mechanics in EQ. Is it fair to assume they said "Hey you! Developer! Don't let...

Armoured princess is actually really easy since you can juke a lot of the mobs to get maps which then in turn let's you go to higher level areas to juke more mobs to get high level spells/money/gear/armies. You can even do a few turn in only quests that will give you multiple levels since they...
