The other thing 'reset quests' does is it resets the XP/gold rewards on the quests to the original high level.

Right now basically you can either go around and farm wherever you feel like, or you can reset quests and get more rewards (and a guaranteed leg. off of Diablo) but have to do everything in order. After the expansion hits there will be the Adventure Mode thing which willl kind of make it moot anyway I believe.

Are you having issues with it ?  I think it's rather grand...

Same issues that I have with any client-side doodlebopper that loses connection to the mothership, etc, etc: I'm still not playing the game 24 hours later.

Why am I homeless?  Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question.

That was me, though it seems bugged.  My overall blue and yellow drops felt diminished in quantity.  I normally have to portal back to salvage every 20 minutes, but I ran for over an hour with the gobby and only logged out with half an inventory of crap blue/yellows. 

And the bastard never once spit out an item from what I can tell. 

I don't care enough to run numbers or anything, but it feels off.  Was I really looting that many grey/white items before?

I scoop up everything to salvage, and I'd say on an average run about 1/4 of the items I pick up are white/grey.

I 100% ignore white/ grey items. This is a holdover from prior to 2.0 where they were worth - at best - 40 gold.  I was picking up more gold via piles and the blues/ yellows were worth far more.

In a good multiplayer game with a group that was busting ass it was also worth it to just leave blues behind.  You had enough Magic Find that yellows were dropping so fast you'd have been going back every 10 mins just to sell them.  Adding blues to it would have made the trips too frequent.

Haven't been in a full L60 group since 2.0 though so I don't know if thats still the case.

The reason to pick them up now is they salvage to a needed crafting component and said component is account bound.

Diablo didn't give me shit.  I've been fucking cheated.

I've had the puzzle ring for ages tho and he DOES spit out nice stuff, but it's a real 'blink and you miss it' if the screen is full, so don't assume it's not happening.  It is.  Also, don't pick the shit up yourself - that breaks it.

You had to have completed every quest chain.  If you jumped in someone else's game, and they were ahead of you, and you missed a quest somewhere in the chain, and then you killed Diablo, you were fucked.

That said, I have no problem believing that they fucked up and it just doesn't work.  There ability to implement quality seems way, way off what I remember.  I wonder if 2h damage rolls are still all f'd up?  Fucking annoying that a billion dollar company can't do even as good as these F2P games.  It's baffling.


Edit: patch notes do include the following... so now I feel a tiny bit better

Bug Fix: Fixed an issue where 2-Handed Legendary weapons were rolling damage appropriate to 1-handed Legendary weapons

It really, really does for levelling, but after that it's just pitiful.

Also, yes, I realise now I leapt into the wives game and that's why Diablo was a cunt.

If you have the Archon's Whatever of Stat recipes they're very useful at 60, as are the 6-affix weapon recipes. Most of those are drops, however. You can buy the chestpiece recipes from the little girl merchant in Act 2 though.

Yeah, but as ever, that's on a loot curve.  The crafting stuff gets less useful the more cool shit you find.  And the shit is cool in this new patch...

Tried to do the "Finish Act I in One Hour" achievement tonight with my lv60 Wizard on Normal.  Finished in about 73 minutes.  Probably easier to do in a group so for the random dungeons you can split up and more rapidly find the next level.

If I were going to try for that, I'd drop the difficulty down to Normal, and ignore everything that wasn't quest related.

Finally got back through Diablo last night about 12:30. Ugh, so tired today I feel old.  I did get a legendary of Diablo, but it sucked so it's totally not worth doing things that way.  I did get a nice legendary sword and set piece fist, though, so time for farming.

Apologies to those who joined and had to put up with my manic "RUN PAST EVERYTHING ON NORMAL MODE" approach.  Tonight I'll be running 'fo realz.'

ed: Also - goddamnit Schild stop getting lucky drops.  He got a legendary that sucks mobs in to whatever you're hitting at the moment and slows them 80%.  As if he needed more DH love after his bow drop.

I reset quests on my wizard, so I'll be running in slo-mo towards Diablo.

I figure it'll be a while to get back to him.  As you say, it's almost certainly not worth it in terms of getting loot to reset quests for a guaranteed drop off of Diablo.

Then I remembered his post.  why so serious?

On the plus side, though I didn't make the 60 minute deadline, I did get some goodies (I did not reset quests) during my Act I speedrun attempt:

I'm having fun playing it now, I'll probably buy the xpac.  Crusader looks fun, new story/zones won't hurt and Adventure mode.

Strange thing is, I still haven't purchased Heart of the Swarm.  Just haven't.  And I love Zerg.  I loved all the genetics nonsense they put in the storyline.

But for some reason, a big fucking dude in plate armor smacking some cunt with his shield just looks so cool.

And he has a horse.  A flaming (literally) Horse.

I'm not going to be any help here, but I thought the turnaround was fascinating.  I have three active D2 clones installed on my PC, not counting the actual D2LoD and D3 since it's still downloading, and not counting TQ or Torchlight One.  Also a couple Borderlandses.  Best I can do is make sure you are using sterile needles.
