Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls

[Pagz]

I thought heaven was currently in control of the pandemonium fortress and they say there's that convenient heaven portal straight to there, so like, couldn't they just have one of the infinite angels pop in the 20 years between games and be all "Oh hey Malth just checking up to make sure you aren't about to reap all souls kk." What are they actually doing in heaven anyway, they never really go into detail...

"story"

stop it all of you

[Phildo]

One of my favorite things about Diablo 2 was the story.

[Merusk]

I'm not seeing the difficulty thing.  I think it's my build and Azurewrath:

All the way to Malth at Master difficulty, I died 4 times total. 2 on the first boss, twice in the Fields of Eternity to an elite pack of those stone armor guys who were Vortex, Ice Pulse, Molten, Fire Chains.

[KallDrexx]

My monk hasn't had trouble on Master, except for the bullshit like illusion + molten + descration + waller

[Merusk]

Illusions die fast enough with enough Area Damage and Sweeping Winds running that they've never given me a problem.  Molten + Desecration + Waller can be a bitch and I can't Bubble-spam fast enough to stay alive without moving.

Has anyone mentioned recently how annoying it is you can't see all the stats on a character?  I think I'm at 25% area damage, with 13% crits, which makes for a good amount of AOE when combined with Hundred Fists and Sweeping Winds.

[Rasix]

Toward the end with my witch doctor, I just wasn't doing enough damage and didn't have nearly enough sustain. I still probably didn't die all that much.  Malth took 2 tries.  I suppose I could have brought in Kormac and hoped his heals would have been enough and perhaps moved my build around some toward more sustain and/or escapes.  Still, crap like vortex or teleport + waller + frozen could pop me pretty fast.

I'm back at master after beating it and it's not bad at all.  Helped that I got a lvl 70 weapon replacement right away.

You def can see area damage in the detailed stat sheet (just hit details or whatever on the paperdoll screen) but I'm not going to claim there are no hidden stats.

The problem is more that the illusions are there when desecrations go off.  Between the massive amount of mobs and waller it's extremely difficult to maneuver outside of the desecration area.

I meant on the web link, sorry for the lack of clarity.

Ah, yeah.  Double tap on dash doesn't always work there.

[KallDrexx]

Ok, I"m going to feel reallllyyy stupid to ask this but double tap on dash?

[Merusk]

You have 2 charges on dash that you can use in succession.  I often use both to get to the opening in the wall then out of it.   Or if I haven't moved the mouse quick enough to the edge, I'll double tap to move a greater distance.

[murdoc]

Dammit, now I am playing this again which means I actually have to check the Graveyard every now and then.

[Yegolev]

One of my favorite things about Diablo 2 was the story.

[Paelos]

Look ma, no graveyard.

[KallDrexx]

When was the last time a game was un-graveyarded?

[Paelos]

Suddenly D3 is crashing my computer. I have no idea why since I had been playing it for hours with no issues up to a week ago. All of a sudden this week it's not going 15 minutes below the screen blacks out, freezes, and I have to restart. I tried Hearthstone and it runs fine, so I don't think it's the launcher.

Very odd, but unplayable for me atm.

Sounds like overheating.

Or a bad vid card.  Give another graphically intensive game a shot, Paelos. When my card was going bad I got the same things until it started blue-screening. Started with only a few games, then spiraled.  Hearthstone isn't very intensive.

Apparently there is an issue with black screens (which is what I've been getting instead of blue screens) and they are aware that something is going on with people's video cards.

[Yegolev]

That is interesting in itself, but moreso that this game arose in PC/Console rather than MMO with Path of Exile.

[Ingmar]

Blood Bowl, and POE should never have been in the MMO forum in the first place.

[Threash]

Just blew 450 or so thingies on kamala, got one legendary mace.

[schild]

I have 274 hours logged in Diablo 3. The last game I played this much was.... Diablo 2.

[Hoax]

League? Was probably close.

[Pagz]

Speaking of story, any other demon hunters get their sads on when you meet your little sister in pandemonium? Awww .

[Ironwood]

Adventure mode is, indeed, much fucking love.

Loving this game now.  Hooray and whatnot.

[KallDrexx]

Apparently this link has stats on the most popular builds for each class

[apocrypha]

Here's a thread with information about crafting materials and locations.

[Special J]

This game is actually fun now. And I haven't even really dug into Act V

[schild]

League? Was probably close.

Hmmm yea, probably logged about 200 hours in that.

Haven't got to that point yet as I just got to Pandemonium.

I'm starting to struggle with the DH on Torment 1 in act 5 at level 68. Time to back it off I think especially as I'm playing what is probably not a good build - 3x sentry with homing rockets plus strafe with homing rockets and a wolf/bat pet, smokescreen and shadow power. The further I go into act 5 the more my wolf and crusader companion seem to die. Time to have a look at other build ideas.

[Sjofn]

My wolf rarely died on Torment 1, but I was with Ingmar, so there were a million pets around to distract the various mobs. What you might want to look at for the last fight is some sort of sentry build, though, there's an asston of "don't stand ANYWHERE EVER AT ANY TIME" bullshit in that fight.

[Setanta]

Just finished and I did a lot of running/strafing while the turret missiles did their auto-attack thing. Having said that, I had to drop down to expert.

I know it's an average skill that is useless when you run out of hatred, but god I love strafe.

[schild]

Cow level is back in. It's a rift.

[Segoris]

It came up earlier in the threat, but here:

There's an issue in game right now that causes some items to drop a little more frequently than intended, and mighty belts are one of them. We plan on taking care of it, and we'll be sure to let you know when that happens. Thanks for taking the time to give us your feedback, and keep fighting the good fight in Sanctuary!

It's Mighty Belts and Quivers, actually. The drop rates for these two class-specific items were scaled a bit higher than other class-specific items, which is why players saw them dropping more frequently. We're looking to bring down their drop rates and normalize them against other similar items, and right now we're seeing if we can do that via hotfix.

[apocrypha]

Powelevelling is quite effective. A friend was just taking my crusader through Torment 1 adventure mode and I went from 61 to 66 in under an hour. Then the EU servers shit the bed so we've had to stop for now. 

[Ginaz]

I stopped playing at least 6 months ago and I'm pleasantly surprised at how much fun this is now.  Blizzard did a nice job of un-fucking the game. IMO, this is the best ARPG available today, including POE.
