I absolutely love the game and can't wait to try Inferno/PvP.

I don't see why people are complaining about Inferno being so difficult. Do you really want it to be a walk in the park?

Says the one who's never been there :p It's not skill based, it's just a grind where you get one shotted and constantly corpse run wearing enemies down.
 
Blizzard have made this game with 1 thing in mind - Make as much profit from the AH as possible.

70 hours played, not one ledgendary and proberbly wearing 2 items that I havent bought from AH.

Starting to get bored.

Have I missed something, thought the RMAH was just for cosmetic items, not game affecting ones?
 
RMAH is you can buy any item in game from. So you can get a uber staff drop and put it on the AH for in-game gold or sell it for real money. So to answer your question you can buy game affecting items from the RMAH.

I love the game though, I'm looking foward to the PVP patch. I think the only niggles I have is the AH being buggy as hell and I really really REALLY hate act 2. It is so boring !!! act 1 its good nice build up, act 2 LAME, act 3 all hell's breaking loose ! , act 4 epic fin :p
 
Wow, it'll never be launched at this rate!

Well with the problems the gold AH is having, plus the hackings, you can't blame them.

Imagine spending 100 quid on an item (not saying you would, just an example) and having that money taken the but the item goes walkies.

Also all the hacked items and gold being sold the AH for real money, definite "no" territory!

Plus having debit/credit/paypal accounts linked might be a hackers paradise. Imagine logging in and finding you've spent 1000 quid on something a chinese guy is selling.
 
Anyone else suffering from a very slight jitter or stutter? Noticeable when running sideways in the town. It is very slight and almost in rhythm.

Tried going back three display driver sets, run the game off the SSD. Same problem throughout.

Changing my 120hz monitor to 60hz seemed to help but I think it just masks the issue a bit.
 
I find hell a bit harder then nightmare, still at ACT 1. Will not get to play probably until this weekend. Normal mobs are pretty easy but started dying when I go up against blue or yellow mobs.

My monk is currently lvl 51 w/ 16k HP 3.5k DPS. Cant afford all the expensive gears which stupidly over price.
 
I'm relying on drops, only up to butcher on NM at the moment, but I'm yet to feel underpowered. I'm sure by the time I get to inferno I will be getting frustrated at the grind, but that's just diablo in my mind.

Amusingly, the best loot I've got was from some random corpse in the corner of the map, followed by my rare amulet that dropped from a destructible on A3

You can't really say much about a difficulty from Act I though. Its really just an introduction to the dificulty. Act II is where the **** really hits the fan with all the irritating mobs like Huntresses with there invulnerable leap, invisible/invulnerable serpents and so on, plus a massive increase in damage output.

The real test is elites atm on Hell Act I. There isn't really much of a compromise between them and normal enemies health/damage/potential wise. With a 120 dps weapon I didn't have much trouble on Act 3/4 Nightmare. When I hit lvl51 on Act IV and equipped a 280dps weapon it was a cakewalk. Regular foes in Act I Hell vary from 1-hit kills to 10 second fights. Elites/Champions take absolutely ages and the highest dps crossbow I've found did maybe 180 dps, about 66% of what I'm using. Some of them take a brutal 20 seconds, some take a minute or 2 of constant running away.

Clearly. RMAH is the no different to the GAH except it uses real money obviously. You get a limited number of free auctions per month (as I understand it) and then you have to pay to put stuff on it also so people don't clutter it up. no one in there right mind will buy anything but top tier equipment off it though.
 
heh, first time I've every looted an item above my current level, and it's a "Socketed Ring"... not why that's any higher level required than the hundreds of other useless socketed rings I've picked up, but whatever
 
Siegebreaker runs, so over the really long bridge and the field just before it. There's 6 - 8 rare packs along the way. If I get 2 **** packs that I can't kill (gg Invulnerable Minions) I'll just restart as you'll not be able to get to the Siegebreaker with 5 stacks.

Nice. Hopefully I'll get up to there tonight.

You'll have to grit your teeth and get through the keep to kill Ghom. The Soul Rippers in there will utterly destroy you. Not just you in general, anyone really, they are extremely lethal. Even the regular ones that come in packs or 1 - 3 tore me a new one. After that though, smooth sailing to Siegebreaker.
 
I've died a lot doing that too, it's so frustrating. There needs to be equipment swapping macros!

Definitely! I like to kill rare packs then switch to MF just before they die, but kiting and opening inventory, putting all my gear on, whilst still kiting is horrible :p
 
I'v been enjoying diablo 3, but after seeing the latest future patch notes I think I might stop playing until they come out. Don't want to waste money on blacksmith if it's going to become cheaper to upgrade in a couple of days/weeks!

Lol. Must be one epic socket... :rolleyes:

Well after saying the best Crossbow I've found since starting Act I was **** I just came across a wandering merchant late act I Hell. Most of his gear is 10-15 levels below mine (I'm lvl55), all except for 1 rare Crossbow.

Lvl51, 255 dps, 55 dex, 86 vit, crit damage 42%.
I lose 250 dps but I think thats a worthy sacrifice to gain 2600 health. Not to mention that with Sharpshooter kicking in to up my crit rate, that crit damage boost should make up for that loss in dps in spike damage.

Also. Butcher was a fun fight. First attempt, ran into his charge, 1 hit me from 19k hp (by doing 19.5k damage... go figure). Second fight, the entire bottom half of the map lit up while I was on low health, couldn't get out. Third fight, beat him, but made the silly mistake of standing still to shoot him and got hit by his Ancient Spear so missed that achievement :(

You realise of course that every item on the auction house has dropped for an actual player dont you?

And if it rained legendary's you'd have been bored a lot faster, after you had a perfect set-up days after release. As it is, with the silly prices people are paying to each other, and the 15% cut of gold that is removed from the economy on each transaction, there's a chance this system may just last the test of time.

I'm enjoying it, and I did actually use the auction house yesterday for only the second time. Bought a load of low level gear with +xp and a socketed helm for +%age xp for a twink. Go me.

Why? :confused:

You don't have to upgrade him now. After reading those patch notes I'm stocking up all my Tomes to upgrade him when things change, not like I'm actually going to craft any of the **** he has available.

Honestly you could just play Auction House Roulette and get much the same effect as the BS if you're avoiding buying off it. Filter it to that level item with a low buyout and buy the first item you see without reading its stats.
