how do you get rid of the initial lag when starting a game ?
its annoys the heck out of me - boot up - join a public game - and 99% of the time I die the first round as its "buffering" the assets in game ...
this is on a quick pc and decent internet connection too

interesting thanks
if its a caching issue at local end - why doesn't it have a longer loading screen and cache before chucking you in game
I have 16gb of memory free sat there doing nothing lol
Started "farming" for Whimsyshire. Incredibly easy for the first four, took no more than three runs per item. Gibbering Gemstone is another story entirely, some sites are claiming 30 attempts for it!
Still, it's easy enough. Isn't taking anywhere near I thought it would have.

Make sure to get 5 stacks of NV before you enter.

Didn't think it made that much of a difference for the whimsyshire land items, didnt use any stacks of NV to get any of the items and it still didnt take long. (Mind I wasnt level 60 at the time either so it would have just took longer to get the stacks)
I found a pair of those and a dead mans legacy yesterday within 30 mins of each other. Shame the dml was a 14% one
Unlucky bud, you could have upgraded and gave me your old one ;D

First set item I have found. Not sure if I will use them though. How much should I sell them for if I choose to?

OK, cheers bud.
I've posted this on the Diablo 3 forums but I'd like to know what you guys think:
Idea for a gold sink + answer for whites/greys.
Idea for a gold sink + answer for whites/greys.
My idea is to bring back the Mystic which was removed prior to the release of Diablo 3 with the main function of enchanting items - but done slightly differently by focusing on which class you'd like to add then enchantment for, and adding the chance of adding a negative stat.
Instead of using tomes, scrolls, levelling the Mystic etc I would suggest using gold only which would scale with the item level and rarity.
Say for example you pick up a superior hand crossbow, you could go to the Mystic and pay 1000 gold to add a random Demon Hunter affix - this could range from Dexterity, Critical Hit Damage, individual skill damage increases, group skill bonuses (all archery skills do x% more damage etc) and so on. Or you could pay for a generic affix - Vitality, damage increase, life on hit etc.
The mystic would generate a random name exclusive to enchanted items and a new colour would be shown for the hand crossbow's tooltip (orange, purple, whatever), however at this time there would be a chance that the "cursed" prefix appears on the item's name and the weapon's tooltip colour turns red - the Mystic's ritual was flawed and a negative affix has been added.
Negative stats could include things such as -ve % to movement speed, attack speed, life degeneration, chance to heal enemies on attack, lower item durability, chance skills use more resources etc.
Any item could be enchanted multiple times, with affixes scaling based on items level, however the cost, chance of a negative stat and impact of a negative would increase with each positive affix the item has i.e.
0-1 positive affix, 1% chance of a minor negative affix
2 positive affixes, 5% chance of a minor negative affix
3 positive affixes, 10% chance of a negative affix (of which 80% minor, 20% medium)
4 positive affixes, 20% chance of a negative affix (of which 50% minor, 50% medium)
5 positive affixes, 30% chance of a medium negative affix
6 positive affixes, 50% chance of a medium negative affix
7 positive affixes, 50% chance of a major negative affix
and so on
Obviously the above could be smoothed out a lot better than that and could perhaps take into account things like main stats etc, count how many times the same affix has been added etc.
I think the above would give players a chance to do something with all of the grey, white and even blue items which are left on the floor and add a bit of excitement on how far you push your luck in creating the perfect items whilst taking gold out of the ever increasing pool.
