I must have salved more than that. Why do you keep them in your bank.

I really want to see the next patch and see what they are doing with some of the sets.

I'm getting bored with my wiz. Though I might try an archon build.

Game longevity is greatly increased for me by trying/playing a bunch of classes each season. Only ones I have no interest in this season is Wiz/Crusader. I've got fully geared WW barb, HoTA barb, Hellfire/chicken WD, Uliana/SSS/EP monk, and I'm working on a UE6/multishot DH now.

Only the WW barb and HOTA barb have really optimized/good gear, but the WD is amazing for speed-running bounties and SSS/EP monk is just crazy powerful even without optimized gear. No ancient weapons/not great stats on his stuff and low 50's GRifts are still pretty easy. HOTA barb is a beast but the playstyle is pretty boring and I hit a kill-speed wall at GRift 55 =/

We still have a a decent amount of people playing regularly in the clan, it seems. No one wants to group anymore, though I want to do group GRifts on whatever character. I've got all the main gems I use between 45-50 but would love to push higher in groups...

Brikkseason - Community - Diablo III

The reason I stopped logging in was because nobody ever seemed to want to group for grifts.

Hit the season dh leaderboards last night and got an upgrade at boots this morning, woot! Hit 975, down to 985 now, but I did a 58 sub 12 minutes so I should be able to complete a 59 and go back up.

Would be nice if when rerolling items the same stat could not reappear lower. Did about 80 rerolls on those boots to try to get 15% multishot and kept getting 13, 12%.

Well that didn't take long. Last week 10~15 people online at prime time. This week, 3. What came out this weekend?

Literally anything? World of Setcraft has decidedly less pull once you get into the grift 60s and there's really only 1-2 core play styles for the three classes worth a damn right now. In typical blizzard fashion, they could literally change a couple numbers on a few items to add a ton more depth (ie, set a does 500M whole set b does 2B, add mult to set a) but nope, come back in six months.

I keep coming back and playing for a while. Each time I hope they've improved the Crusader. I love the class design. But each time? Nope.

So I play for a while--usually a WD--get bored and leave within a month.

Yeah, I think that is pretty standard fare 3-4 weeks after a season starts. Normally I quit playing around this time too, but I may make it the full season this time since I enjoy you can target upgrades now with the cube.

Perhaps you popped in at a low point?

Just looked (8:24am Thursday) and saw that there were 23 people in the clan that were logged in in the last 24 hours. This does not seem unusual.

All of my buddies have stopped logging in for more then 30 minutes at a clip. Finishing the season portrait was enough.

Definitely less people on for less time now. I'm still playing but I don't see it lasting more than another week or two; probably gonna swap to FO3/NV mod&replays before FO4 comes out. I might get up a Wizard and gear it out first, we'll see. Big thing tanking my interest is lack of groups; not many in Clan want to group for GRifts and not many in the various class channels do, either.

I mostly just play while I'm catching up on League Worlds' stuff that I've missed. Otherwise catching up on my backlog.

Once you get geared up the games loses a ton of its fun for me. I dont really care to grind 1000 hours for that 2% ancient upgrade.

If there was some form of trading market then I could see playing for weeks longer maybe months. Still blows my mind that they took trading completely out of a diablo game and somehow convinced the majority of players to want it that way.

What was the reason for taking trading out? Because so much loot drops so easily now they figured it would make people play less?

There is really no need for trading any longer at this point with how easy it is to get gear and with the cube you can focus gear you're looking for. My seasonal dh has ~150 hours played and has nearly a full set of optimized ancient gear, actually everything is ancient but a couple of pieces are one affix off from what I'd like. I don't believe we've had a truly competitive season yet, because every season has had some bug exploited, but if there were trading it certainly would never be competitive because you do have ppl willing to shell out rl cash for that best piece of gear. Even if they didn't touch the drop rates, if they added trading, you would still have ppl paying top dollar for well rolled bis items.

Most ppl lose interest when the upgrades stop rolling in sure, but you have to consider a 2% ancient upgrade at the end of the season is a 2% upgrade on a much larger number, that 2% upgrade on 2.5m damage is just like getting a 6/7% upgrade at 800k damage.
