I thinki im coming to the end with my WD currently level 32 played first on normal medium and have found it way too easy

So whats the reason people replay it over and over, genuine question, just maybe it hasnt clicked with me yet! Is it for the challenge? Or something else?

THanks!

The demo is back on Xbox Live now.

I feel so thick. What does "DH," "WD," "DPS," "MF" mean?

Plainsong · 14 Sep 2013 at 10:16

Demon Hunter, Witch Doctor, Damage Per Second...not sure about MF? Magic Find?

How long does a typical playthrough last? It's so good, I wouldn't want it to end.

dunker · 14 Sep 2013 at 11:49

not skipping any dialogs and with standard movement speed, umm took me about 25 hours?
about 60-70 hours to get to inferno i guess.

Creature · 14 Sep 2013 at 11:51

Depends how you play

Easy mode, high damage, zero exploration - 4 - 6 hours
Normal mode, moderate damage, medium exploration - 10 - 12 hours
Hard mode, moderate damage, full exploration - 20+ hours

Each time you load the game, the maps and dungeons are randomly generated so on one occasion you may enter and area and be next to the way point, and other times it'll be the other side of the map with 3 cave systems on route.

I'll clariffy that this is on Normal difficulty, the time goes up dependant on Nightmare/Hell/Inferno. As dunker said, if you do absolutely everything in a playthrough, it's incredibly long.

dunker · 14 Sep 2013 at 11:55

yeah i took my time 1st playthrough, any unexplored areas on the map i went back to explore.

Started this last night, not my usual type of game, but enjoying it so far. Got a lvl 11 Barbarian

dunker · 14 Sep 2013 at 14:38

woohoo just had a puzzle ring drop, that's going on my follower and bring on the goblins!

Semiskimmed · 14 Sep 2013 at 15:50

Those sort of hours seem very long to me, it might be because I knew my way around the game but it doesnt feel much over 20hours ive spent in the game and im near the end of act 2 inferno. There isnt a way to see time played is there?

I get a set item last night for a dh on my monk, the bloody crossbow from natalya :rolleyes:

Why wasnt it the boots or ring

kinger8938 · 14 Sep 2013 at 19:09

So just finished normal (medium) with my WD, whats the usual course of action to take now then? Nightmare (medium) or up that to hard? Nthis is my first time on the game so interested to see what reruns bring

Thanks

Creature · 14 Sep 2013 at 20:27

Yup, Nightmare on medium is next. Be advised, special enemies now have two enhancements, and certain combinations can be lethal (jailer/mortar for example).

I've just finished Act 2 on Nightmare, and I remember just how much I hate that act, invisible snakes and bloody jumping Lachni warriors. Thank god for Rapid Fire and Strafe on my DH.

am i right in understanding you reep no benefits by playing on hard to medium? Its master where the differences come in?

Thanks

Correct, it had been misreported but here's the official line.

I know there is some confusion on the forums about how Easy, Normal, and Hard modes affect adventure stats, so I'm going to try and help clear that up. Those modes (Easy, Normal, and Hard) do not alter Magic Find, Gold Find, or XP Bonus in any way, and are just there so players can adjust the difficulty to their liking.

Once you're ready to handle something more challenging than Hard difficulty, however, those bonuses quickly ramp up. Here's what you can expect from Master I - Master V difficulties.

Master I: +60% Magic Find, +60% Gold Find, +120% XP Bonus
Master II: +70% Magic Find, +70% Gold Find, +140% XP Bonus
Master III: +80% Magic Find, +80% Gold Find, +160% XP Bonus
Master IV: +90% Magic Find, +90% Gold Find, +180% XP Bonus
Master V: +100% Magic Find, +100% Gold Find, +200% XP Bonus

After doing the first two acts in inferno on medium and steamrolling it I pushed it up master 2 and its so much more interesting! I can kill perfectly fine but I can also be killed if I screw up badly aswell

Ive had plenty of legendaries today but ALL have been weapons
