Diablo 3

[Rak]

Who's going to play it (I guess everyone lol) and/or already playing the beta?

Act 2,3,4 loading screens have been revealed recently, check them out (http://www.d3expert.com/news/4-latest/36-act234-loading-screens) *SPOILER ALERT*

And here are a couple of our recent beta videos:

[Shakaros]

I'll be playing the game. Diablo 1 was the first real PC game I played after games like Frogger, Pacman and watching my best friends older brother ply warcraft 2, which he ordered from the US.

I played diablo 2 aswell and did the mephisto, baal, diablo, forge, nithalak runs. Traded in SoJs. Going from patch 1.08 over 1.09 to 1.10.

Its a great series that has really defined my gaming life together with counterstrike, fifa and wow. So I havent been this excited about a new release ever except for Cataclysm.

[Hentrenson]

I will be playing it, i havent played the other games, but everyone that has played them seems to love them, so why not give it a shot since its basically going to be free and it seems to be a pretty cool game.

Would be awesome if someone that has been playing beta for a while could post a list of things to do once you're maxed up.

I've been kinda farming for MF/GF items, also for an amulet doing Returned runs.

I've read that doing SK runs to try and get rares is not the best way, killing random nameds and elite packs might as well give better results.

So what about crafting what should you be crafting/aiming for in crafting, how much gold should you spend on training there?

What about auction house I'd really like to know how it works cause I haven't bothered looking it up yet but I read people just farm golds and then trade for MF gear @ auction house etc.

[Justwait]

It's beta, not much to do when you are max level.

[McArthur]

I noticed on my Hunter that his health got buffed to ~2500, his damage is higher and he spawns more adds. What annoyed me tho is that he did not drop a rare(yellow) item on the first kill on that char(he dropped 4-5 blues but no yellow). I never had it happen before, is it intended?

So what build did you go with for your Witch Doctor Rak?

[coranial]

Why is there no progress news anywhere? want to see who was first to 60 and who is getting the first kills etc... can't find any news anywhere!

[Aphrael]

@coranial: http://www.methodwow.com/board/content.php?195-D3-Progress-Report-%28-Livestreams-Videos%29-D3-CE-Giveaway

you dont really need to be smart tbh :p, there are always retards to buy at least 50% of what you put in there xD

Kriparian sold it. It was suppose to be bought from anyone that wanted to support him with that amount of money. Retarded to donate 250$ to some1 who amkes thousands of his stream alone but there is none so idiot to pay 250 for humburger!

[tntmax]

Even this is cheaper :-)

[Notfur]

Kripparrian has just killed diablo inferno hc.
So, in your face, Bashiok: "I'm aware of internal bets on how many months it will take someone to beat Inferno" (sauce (http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/4254464832?page=12#227)).
SC beaten in a week, HC in a month :)

[Artzie]

yeah was watching that stream, he peaked at 45k viewers,

i also read on reddit after that bashiok wrote on his twitter

"People think that was the first HC Inferno clear? Weird. Webcams r 2 legit 2 quit. hay HAY"

everybody's mad at him now :p


https://twitter.com/Bashiok/status/215008237513224192

[Notfur]

What does he even mean with that sentence? "Webcams r 2 legit 2 quit. hay HAY", what?

[Treckie]

He is hinting that Kripp wasnt first.
Just cause world first wasnt streaming with a cam people think its not legit, altho since none has stepped forward saying they beat it, what else can we expect.

[Notfur]

Well, his comment is quite stupid, unless he actually wants to publish who really was first (if anybody).

[Treckie]

He said something along the lines of "wow, do people really even care who is first? We really dont give a crap (like wow) but I can check when i get back to work when the actual first kill happened"
Maybe used slightly other words, but thats pretty much what he said.

[Justwait]

https://twitter.com/#!/Bashiok
‏

@Bashiok: @Pyrotarlu Could be! It's an accomplishment regardless of if it's the first. I was honestly surprised no one else stepped forward.

@Bashiok: @Pyrotarlu I'll double check it when I get into work tomorrow. :)

@Bashiok: @Plosionz We don't publicly announce/recognize world firsts. I'm just surprised that was the first one that was publicized.

‏@Bashiok: People think that was the first HC Inferno clear? Weird. Webcams r 2 legit 2 quit. hay HAY

[Notfur]

@Bashiok @Plosionz You obviously publicly mock people that attempt world firsts. You are a PRO community manager!

Quite indeed, lol. I really wish Bashiok bites his tongue off if it turns out Kripparrian was first, because he's just making him bad publicity with few stupid comments.

edit: and if someone else actually killed it before Kripp, I really want to see if they have Azmodan and Belial defeated too, because killing Diablo alone is actually quite easy, the hard part was legitimately getting to him. We all know we can still skip everything and create a game just before the gate to Diablo, with a bug with joining public games.

[Treckie]

Altho does Kripps barb he killed Diablo with have those kills?
Thing with Hardcore is that dying sure is a setback, but since you can just jump into someones game as soon as you hit 60, you are still slowly always going to come right back to where you died, just keep the savepoints, and obviously someone is going to reach the end eventually.
Im not saying playing hardcore should always set you back to page 1, but thats what a lot of people think hardcore is, a complete character reset, but its not.

[Notfur]

AFAIK Kripparrian (with his barb) hasn't skipped any quest. I can double check if you're interested.

[Artzie]

reddit says some korean beat diablo in inferno HC 1 week ago, lost the post now tho

[infeh]

Legendary items with the +Attack Speed bonus will now correctly provide a bonus to attack speed

Please note that this fix will only affect new Legendary drops. Existing Legendary items will be addressed in future patch.



?! that's a weird approach.

[Notfur]

It might require some more work on their side to fix this bug on existing items.
"Increases attack speed" is an affix for weapon, and it works only on weapons (increases base attack speed). It doesn't work on armor, but appears on some armors.
"Attack speed increased" works on armors. So they need to replace bugged items with correct ones.

[Treckie]

AFAIK Kripparrian (with his barb) hasn't skipped any quest. I can double check if you're interested.
Its not his first barb.
Pretty sure he just jumped into the highest savepoint they reached before he died and continued from there.

[Notfur]

So he did all quests "with his barbs".

[Hentrenson]

well, that requires he has a save that he can join, else he has to do the quests again.

[Treckie]

Every time you beat a quest you have people jump in to get the save point, so that would you wipe, you have people with the save just where you died.

[Justwait]

@Bashiok: My apologies Kripp and Krippi, looks like you were 1st HC Inferno clear. (my spreadsheet deciphering isn't what it used to be) Congrats!

;)

[Treckie]

Talk about talking before thinking from Bashiok, freaking idiotic

[Notfur]

In-fucking-deed.
GZ Kripp and his team.

who the hell is Bashiok btw?

Congrats to Kripp & co for WF!

Motherfucking bullshit game.

Was going for all achievements, but got a bug and all my counters are reseted, 0 golds out of 10.000.000, 0 elites out of 20.000, 0 savior, etc etc.

Game master response ? "We forwarded this issue we can't do anything until it's proven by the devs that it's a bug blabla, kind regards".

Sincerely, Blizzard, just fuck you.

stop caring about pixel numbers that wont give you anything :D

Go farm gear instead ;D and make $$$$

Known stelthnerfs:

Whimsyshire Pony Bottleneck was fixed
Act 1 Cultist Ritual easy Champ kill nerfed
Zombie bears now bugged
Command per second lowered and disconnecting people for spamming commands too fast
Monster walls now correctly block certain abilities like Evasive fire/Archon beam/piercing orb/etc.
Elite mob that used to spawn to right of Dahlgur Oasis is now purple monster that does not grant NV.
Magic weapon no longer duplicates its effect on your character sheet display (it used to stack double)
Elite mobs often regen to full health if kited just outside of your view on the screen
Elite mob reset timer lowered
Clouds in Whimsyshire fall under the same chests/destructible objects loot nerf (could be deemed as expected from patch notes, but left here to let people know anyways).
IAS is nerfed more than 50%. 50% nerf is the best case scenario. For most items its around 60% and for weapons it is higher (as high as 75%).
IAS items did a re-roll on stats in their category. You could have a high roll in the range of the original category that re-rolls low on the new category range.
Act 2 nagas before waterlogged passage replaced with a single named elite.
Dank Cellar Sarkoth now fights
Event in Festing Woods changes spawn locations now, and sometimes won't even appear
Belial powerleveling patched
Goblins gained immunity to barbaian's hook when portaling away
Mythic potions drops nerfed? Could be related to destructible items
You can no longer force the same instance of a map by reloading a game. It will randomly pick a map every time. If you want the same map you'll have to load up several games.
Whimsyshire staff plans changed from 1 gold cost to 50k gold for hell. 100k for inferno. nightmare =15k
Certain popular crafting recipes ninja nerfed to higher costs. Such as Seven Sins and all pieces in Sage's set.
Dank Cellar goblin runs nerfed
Gold spammers muted/banned better
Act 3 pop-up mines no longer do 400k damage to enemies. They now do about 50k.
Monk spirit regen has changed to a cap of 6.18, probably in an attempt to stop people from doing things like unlimited spirit rush builds.
Diablo didn't used to spawn a shadow in Phase 2 for any dead players. Now it spawns a shadow regardless of whether they are alive or not.
Iskatu loot nerfed even more. Now he might drop nothing or a single white.
Smoke screen no longer usable while frozen despite other skills being enabled. Conflicting reports. Some say yes, some say no.
