How many hours of gameplay is Act V supposed to be?
I think it has a 'complete in under an hour' achievement like all the other acts do, so probably of similar length.

I read elsewhere (Penny Arcade forums) that RoS is live on the Asian servers. It seems to be going smoothly on them.

So this is what a miracle patch feels like.

So I'm onboard with the update being a huge improvement, but $40 for the expansion totally prices me out. Someone poke me when it's below $20.

That could be a very long time. Blizzard isn't known for cutting prices.

This is Blizzard. I think $20 is the lowest you'll see. So, aim there.
It is a good patch. It really brings me a new enthusiasm for the loot. I always liked the game, but I couldn't go more than a few playthroughs. I never got what the complaints about the loot were about until I saw what it could be with this patch.

Seriously ?
It was quite obviously broken and might (MIGHT) have been given a pass if the AH hadn't just kept rubbing it in our faces.

For myself, it was more that I couldn't jump into a game, play 15 minutes, and feel I had a shot at loot. Instead, I needed to have 30+ minutes available to build up to Nephelim Valor 5, then maintain that in order to have a shot at getting no loot anyway.
I can get more legendaries in a play session than I got in the entire time prior to 2.0. In addition, prior to 2.0, I think I found 1 useful legendary the entire time I played. The rest were not useful (bad stats, bad rolls, wrong class, etc.)

I have all the classes at 60 and I got about five legendaries in that entire time.
All shit.

I wasn't a big D2 fan. I had been out of the ARPG loop for a while. I guess my expectations were a lot lower to the point of being nonexistent. I would just buy upgrades from the AH and get back to killing monsters. Come to think of it, I don't think I had found a single legendary before the loot patch. Heh. I suppose I prefer getting actual useful drops without nonsense stats on them.

Is RoS unlocking midnight EST or PST? If its EST then people should be logged on long before it unlocks to avoid queues.

Blizzard is being really unpatriotic unlocking it for the rest of the world first.
Bet there's an Asian L70 Crusader before we get to play.

That's also one of the reasons I finally pulled the trigger. I think it was said that adventure mode allowed you to get bounties in 10-15 minute times, making it good for a quick session that's progressive (without mind-numbing farming). *edit* FYI, RoS legendary crafting drop locations

Had enough time to get the Crusader almost to 30, it's good fun seeing 4x Crusaders riding flaming horses and having hammers twirl around them melting shit like electric pinwheels. They did good on the skills for the class so far. Lots of defensive abilities with good support, which will hopefully be good later since right now it's still a dps race on everything.
Though, I think the Crusader does feel a bit slow at the start, and a lot of that is because 2h weapons aren't rolling the DPS they should be rolling compared to 1h. This makes the level 10 passive to wield a 2h weapon with a shield not as good as it should be.

Wait wait, Reaper went live and they didn't fix the 2H thing? Ugh.

Will there be refreshments?
I'll start fresh with a crusader. I only got this DH to 18 because I'm slow and I don't want to play any of my old characters. My good character whom I loved is on a console I left in London.

Yeah. Some bullshit about how they need to observe 2h at level 70...like it will magically fix itself at 70 and it's fine for them to suck donkeyballs for level 1-69

Stupidly I pre-ordered from Greenmangaming because it was cheap (like, 20 quid) but it's a physical DVD. Which of course hasn't arrived yet. Teach me to resort to antiquated data storage devices for the sake of a few £.

I couldn't sleep so I played an hour and a half of RoS.
Act V is a lot better than the previous acts imo. I don't know about story (not really paying attention) but there are all types of nooks and crannies to explore, each with its own set of events with lots of mobs to mow down, quest experience when over, and about half of the time a gigantic chest that seems to give me good gems and lots of rares. Also, saw 2 treasure goblins and 2 pygmies in that time as well.
They definitely learned a lot of lessons

Yeah, I'm liking the new tilesets in Act V. I started on Torment I, had to drop down to Master after an hour or two, and when I pick up the game next I think I'll be down to Expert. Hit level 68 and think I've outleveled my gear a bit. Looking forward to 70 and unlocking Adventure mode. Took a Crusader from 1-9 on Expert -- nice thunky hitting things with your shield combat.

I'm thinking I may just go ahead and finish up Act V and then do my crusader on adventure mode.
Going through the story last night, even in super speed mode, made me a sad panda.

That was my plan. Hit 70, get a few more paragon levels and lewtz then start up a crusader. I've started playing a new character with my son and that has helped curb any desire to play a low level again. It's fun listening to him play, because he's so animated. Much more fun than WoW for him.
