Diablo III - Discussion Thread

Haha.. even CNN is reporting on Diablo 3 now. "Is 'Diablo III' a broken game or just too hard?"

Anyway, looks like my days of Diablo 3 are over now. I cannot login after yesterdays patch. :( Crashes to desktop upon login. Apparently, many others who were using the workaround to play in english are getting the same issue. Looks like Blizz are finally clamping down on us. Still, I paid only $30 for this and played more than 110 hours and had some nice fun. I would say that is well worth the money. Would've loved to be able try out the other classes, but its over now :(

@saumilsingh: I will wait for a few more days/ maybe one week and see if I can get in or find a new workaround. If not, I'll just login through the RU client and return your items.
 
^^ Coop with a Monk or Barbarian for meat shields ! Seriously, these guys have some health issues. Most die pretty quick when mobbed even in Normal. Kite and life on hit?
 
Diablo 3's Player Count Dives By 65 percent According To Gametrics

Hopefully Blizzard will eventually realize that people want to play Diablo and not Hell Tycoon and fix the itemization.
If not, they will keep losing players who aren't exactly starved for alternatives (Guild Wars 2, TorchLight 2 and Grim Dawn).

The game is so much fun while you're leveling up and then suddenly turns into an economy simulator.
People want to play your game Blizzard, they don't want to work on the AH like a second job :lol:.
 
Got my first run with 5 stacks of nephalam valor....awesome stuff ...got a whole lot of gold items...no legendary ones though...
 
Level 60 solo barbarian hell completed. Might give inferno Act 1 a go . Would need to farm for gold.
Act 4 Hell was a toughhh act. got killed couple of times. barbarian melee is just difficult against mobs at those levels.
 
Started nightmare ... lost count of how many times i have died. Playing 4 player co-op. And some noobs just pull so many mobs. Finally got 10k life and around 1k dmg. Lvl 46 now. Thes best team for 4 player co-op is 3 barbs and one DH/WZ or 2 barbs, 1DH/WZ and one WD. Anyone in act 2 nightmare wanna pair up ?
 
^I am in the same situation in Act2 Inferno. Lost count how times I died. :( Got into a public game last night hoping to do some progress on quest. Got into a group with 3DHs and 1 Wiz. Everyone died so many times and I broke my armor twice. 27K repair cost each time. Finally rage-quit and went back to bidding on AH. :) So basically, I spent 54K in 30 mins and no progress. Agree about the group composition. Each group definitely should have at least 1 barb.
 
I am getting whipped on a level 60 barb and inferno act1. I get killed like every time there is one of special groups. If there is a single gold, I can handle it, but with 4 of those blue groups I get hammered withing 30-50 secs and dont manage to kill even one of them. I managed one in the first cathedral, before meetng up with Cain and also the gold skeleton when meeting with Kane. The gold guy went in one go and the other group, took like 4-5 deaths and lots of changes in tactics to get it done.

Now I met some blue ones again after killing the iron smiths wife and man are they whipping my ass. I am going back to farming in Heaven for the time being.

I can, playing a monk in US server. PM me your Blizzard Id?
 
Act-1 is a piece of cake if you know what you're doing. I can solo it in my 105 percent MF (without NV) gear now, and my gear is pretty average.

Only speaking for Barbs here, but I think too many of them fall into the high DPS trap.
You don't need more than 7k DPS for anything in Act-1 and this includes the Butcher.

What you do need is atleast 30k HP, all resistances at 300 (450 after the Impunity buff) and 7k armor.
If you meet those requirements, nothing can kill you in Act-1 if you chose your skills well and use them correctly.

The only elites that will give you a problem are Dark Berserkers as those hit really hard if you don't learn to dodge their backhand swings (run away in a straight line, don't try to circle around as they will rotate 180d mid-swing and hit you anyway :p).
