Official Diablo 3 Thread - Its Finally Here!

I feel stupid for not checking this much sooner but you can just sell all the stuff you don't need for gold and if you really want crafting materials you can buy them cheap and instantly on the auction house.

It doesn't make sense to salvage your items when you can sell em for 500 and buy the materials for 200

The only Problem is that you can't buy the books of blacksmithing.
You have to find them ingame but they drop pretty often.

The auction is good but idk how much everything worths so i don't sell there lol =P

[Beast of Bourbon]

Nobody knows that atm, it'll take a while to built an "economy".
As far as i can tell the Auction House is waaaayy overpriced at the moment.

Most people seem to think they can get 300k-900k gold for a HELL tier rare with decent stats when anyone can just craft rares himself

Even if i wanted to buy items there - i only have ~200k gold atm (i'll have to spend alot to built the infernal staff of herding)

Finally got to play the starter edition (the demo given out with every copy) and needless to say, I absolutely loved it!

Waiting has become even harder now

How can you tell how much damage your spells have when you're a wizard?

[vladTGS]

Game Menu(Esc)>Options>Gameplay> Display Damage Numbers

[Beast of Bourbon]

....or just press on "I" and look to the left.
You can see your total DPS there.

However the spells themself do XXX% of that value (not shown in the game for whatever reason) - kinda lame that Blizzard "dumbed down" DIII so much.

[Daggers21]

Who else misses the Nercomancer?!

[Beast of Bourbon]

The WD has some "similar" moves but i would have prefered a new Necro tbh...

P.S. check out the Boneweaver Shield exploit once you get to HELL difficulty.
How do people come up with stuff like that

[Thorzilla]

Guess who's getting this delivered in the mail today!

Can you actually just which over servers without deleting your characters on say the NA server?
I know you won't use the characters from server to server, but will they still be there when you switch back?

[Beast of Bourbon]

Yeah they'll still be there.

Latest News On Hotfixes as of May 22nd 2012 (Yet I just got them right now and I Played this afternoon)

[Beast of Bourbon]

Wiz players are crying like there's no tomorrow about the "Force Armor nerf".
I don't think Inferno was meant to be beaten after 10 days though

Assembled my Staff of Herding, cost me 150k gold and a lot of grinding but the secret level is pretty cool.
I don't know if it's worth upgrading so i can enter the level on nightmare / hell... i think i'll invest into better equipment first.
5 Level left till cap (Mid Act2 Hell) :\

[Cybertox]

The latest client update made the game even laggier and added freezing issues. Blizzard is just ruining the game with all these late patches.

[gangsta_795]

Yup lot's of lagg now.

[Daggers21]

Yup lot's of lagg now.

Yeah, I have only just started getting lag because of the latest patch.

[gangsta_795]

Blizzard says there's no cow level but



EDIT - Bought Diablo 2 for the time being

[Beast of Bourbon]

Also noticed more lag since the patch :/

Tapatalkin'

[Nuvian]

Been having a lot of fun with Barbarian in inferno, act 2 is hopeless at the moment for me though

Is the pony level a 1 time thing for each difficulty? or can you enter it freely after you have opened it once?

[Hitomi]

The lag is cuz of the load on the server not the new patch

[gangsta_795]

The lag is cuz of the load on the server not the new patch

So the load increased so much immediately after the patch to start causing first-time lagg for nearly everybody?

And stop disliking every other post you see.
