Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls

[Samprimary]

so if I want to start set iteming and crap, the important thing to do is ..

uh, find this guy, get the recipes,

then farm the mats from whoever drops them,

then make 'em over and over again until the stats is good?

[Nija]

Or kill lots of things while keeping your fingers crossed.

[Threash]

That guy is rare as fuck, no sign of him in like four hours yesterday.  The area is very good farming though, i did find four legendaries and three recipes, which isn't bad for being outside a rift.

[Samprimary]

why are there so many treasure goblins all over that place anyway


also yesterday we ran into a whole pack of like 12 treasure goblins. IT WAS MADNESS.

[Ironwood]

Game needs larger stash.

They gave you one, you filled it already ?

Also, I hope you all know you can change the tabs of the stash to have PRETTY PICS on them.

Rift it Forward had me swimming in shards today.

[Rasix]

I will have to try that.  Thanks for letting me know if its existence.  I need to get another 5 or 6 Magefists and Gladiators on my way to never getting a Tasker.

[cironian]

Finally killed Malthael on HC today, yay me! Monk did the job just fine, after my previous Crusader died on Malths final phase due to being stuck in those damn Death Shrouds. This makes me happy because I can now Adventure Mode my HC chars and never ever have to go through the stupid story again.

[Threash]

Hah, after clearing khazra den for the fiftieth time you'll be doing the story for a fun break.  I'm at that point now, bounties are unbearable, the story is tolerable and rifts are fun.  On new HC characters i always run the story first until right before mal because honestly it is less boring and repetitive than adventure mode all the way up.  Plus those three low level rings of royal grandeur i have are just making me angry.

[Paelos]

So I ran the temp check on my system while playing D3. It didn't crash, and my card got up to 66 celcius, which is higher than while playing anything else. I am wondering why D3 is causing it to heat up so much.

I talked to customer support at Cyberpower PC where I got the computer. They ran some tests on the card that blue screened the computer. So it's definitely the vid card going bad. Luckily it's all under the 1 year warranty so I'm shipping it back to them to get it replaced. Bad news is I'll be on the old system for about a month.

Maybe when I get the new system back I can finally play the xpac. It's been an insane ride with this machine.

[Merusk]

Make sure you're actually getting a new card back. My rig was from Cyberpower and they RMA'd my 570 card back to the MFR, who proceeded to say "it's ok" and sent me the same card back.

How do I make sure of that?

[Merusk]

I had a warranty card with the Serial # on it which I checked against the one I got back. I assume you have the same, since my card was a gigabyte.

Okay thanks, I can't imagine it's not the card after it failed every possible test by going to bluescreen, but we'll see if they try any bullshit.

Need to Vent:

Decided to bump myself up to torment 2 on my Witchdoctor to see how well i could do soloing a rift.  Went pretty smoothly, if a bit slow on some elites.   Last level of the rift.  Multi Path desert ruins.  Branching circular loop layout, I decide to take the left turn..  About 3/4 of the way through the loop, I run across a fucking PACK of Treasure Goblin thingies.  Like at least 8 of them.........  I manage to kill one, cause there is also assorted stupid trash right ontop of them that my pets all focus on......  literally about 100 yards down the hall, I find a Conduit Pylon (the incredibly awesome Bugzapper Pylon of death).    If I had just taken a right instead of a left at the beginning of that level, I could have fried the entire giant group of the goblins to death with my bugzapper.......  SOOOO much missed looot.......

/wrists

[Tannhauser]

Oh wow.

[schild]

I've cleared out 2 rooms of Treasure Goblins and gotten no loot worth carrying, you probably didn't miss much. Their drop table is abysmal.

[Setanta]

I had the multi-pack of goblins - 12 of them, but in a corridor. Nuked 8 of them by popping everything and nothing dropped. I got lucky, their pathing for once was bad.

I'm not feeling the increased drop rate on anything anymore and TBH, the bounty grind bores me more than the story even on T2.

[Ironwood]

Alas for my poor Hero.

Hardcore was kinda fun while it lasted, but I really see no point in putting myself through that again.

[SurfD]

Is there a comprehensive quick reference list around anywhere that tells you which stat affixes can only be found on certain pieces of gear?  Like +movement only shows up on boots / bracers / pants, or +crit damage only on Gloves / Bracers / Rings, etc?

Ouch!  Well, you did name her 'Dheadmeet'.

[Ironwood]

There was an inevitability as to the conclusion that I used to name both her and my other Hardcore Character, the Crusader.

[schild]

I just hopped back in last night. The removal of all those legendary crafting materials was a big deal. A BIG OL DEAL. Too bad they left Forgotten Souls in and didn't seem to up the drop rate on them.

On the flip side in one hour of playing I got 2 pieces of Vyr's set. So now I have every archon ability, I fire off meteors, and I can easily craft 2 pieces of Aughild's set. Feels good.

[Threash]

They removed legendary crafting mats?

[schild]

Yup, and made them all worth 50k+ gold a piece. So you just sell them all. It was awesome.

[SurfD]

hmm.  Wonder what that stack of Adventurer's Journals I have is worth now?  Think I had like 18 of them, and still havent seen the pattern that uses them drop yet.

[apocrypha]

Vendoring all my legendary crafting mats cleared up a fuckton of bank space and made me over 6m gold :)

Although I still can't get out of the habit of checking for the "Kill Razormouth" bounty every game I start.

[Samprimary]

they weren't kidding about the enhanced class item drop rates

I'm a RORG away from max vyrs, tal rashas, AND firebirds. Truth be told though I could just trade off down to 2 pieces firebirds and pick up aughilds because the firebirds bonuses honestly just blow nuts

[apocrypha]

Fucking RROG.

That ring is a problem I think. It's all-but mandatory for most builds, but it can be a royal (hah!) pain in the cock to farm. If you like to play alts then get used to spending 100s of hours doing Act 1 bounties over & over & over again hoping that the RNG gods smile on you.

I think they need to make more rings as good as RROG and also make the legendary drop rate outside rifts the same as inside them so that farming bounties doesn't feel like such a waste.

[Samprimary]

.. and now I have max Tals and Firebird. But getting a RORG would allow me to slot back in from 1.2 million damage to 1.7.

fffffwah

[March]

So I opened a rift at 70 and stepped into a universe of Rainbow Unicorns and Pink Teddy Bears... it was oddly disturbing and gratifying at the same time.  This was an unexpected first time for me - is this common?

Was there some sort of magical pay-out that I missed?  I thought I did a full clear, but nothing out of the ordinary happened - well, other than the deliciously beefy sliced corpses of Pink Teddy bears.

[schild]

Whimsyshire - both the area and the mobs - are possible spawns for rifts.

It is not that common. I've seen it twice in maybe 50 or so rifts.
