Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Dark Link - 2013-12-20
JoeTang Wrote:I was hoping there would be two or three weeks with 2.0.1 running but oh well.
Eh, it might happen. Everyone is assuming 2.0.1 is when the AH gets shutdown, but no confirmed date still gives hope.
Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - JoeTang - 2013-12-20
I guess it would be possible to launch 2.0.1 before the auction house closes since the only thing people would be able to sell is materials, gems, and rares. I have found myself some really good rares on the PTR though. There's a lot of potential for many slots over current gear, especially if you're not using a set item in that slot.
My time on the PTR has been mostly positive.

Cursed Chests gives me a lot of Diablo 2 nostalgia. Doing an extremely static run on something that (almost) always spawns in the same place and remaking the game immediately afterwards. I managed to get two legendaries from doing this a few dozen times, though neither were interesting. These events will probably be randomized throughout the world, but I hope they keep a few static ones in hard to reach places. This one is just beside the Halls of Agony 3 Waypoint, spawns about 75% of the time, making it extremely easy to farm. The goal is to kill 150 monsters in 30 seconds or something. My best record on Normal is this I believe, and I can manage around 200 on Master. Seems like it would actually be difficult for really low geared people though.

My Demon Hunter really seems to attract Bracer upgrades.
Every other non-jewelry slot can spawn with a specific skill modifier, except Bracers which seem to spawn this elemental skill bonus instead. I wouldn't have minded a week or two of play to replace a few slots and adjust to the new changes with these items, as well as maybe reroll a 60. One week seems okay for this.
I have nearly 2 billion gold, and I'm not sure what I want to spend it on, especially since RoS is one week after auction house closure. I don't particularly want or need any several hundred million upgrades. I guess I'll waste it all on enchanting. Anyone want some?

Woah there. Hold your horses. We got another hour and 20 minutes to go. Soon™

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh it's not like anyone cares anyways!
Just kidding. I have no life and I'm dying to play.

Yeah, I'm excited to see all the changes. I've avoided pretty much EVERYTHING 2.0.1+ has to offer, so I will be going in blind.

Don't worry, we'll soon™ be able to play, in 5 hours.

I feel like I'm having more fun reading the pathetic comments on the extensions than I would have playing the actual game. Where's the damn popcorn?!
Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Dark Link - 2014-02-25
Lucky me I have to reconfigure my D3 game files due to the whole "Localization.xml" Battle.net app problem.
Didn't even realize my game didn't update until I saw "Update" instead of "Play".
Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - JoeTang - 2014-02-25
They've updated the Game Guides for the 2.0.1 data, including the skill calculators.
Of the changes I saw, the most noteworthy ones to me were Electrocute - Lightning Blast was nerfed from 280% to 140%, Arcane Orb - Scorch was changed from something like 335% + 345%/5s to 221% + 734%/5s, so there's no longer any strong long-range precision attack for Fire Wizards, except Magic Missile - Conflagrate. Fits the build I had in mind better, but everyone who doesn't want to rely on Meteor Shower is pomegranate out of luck.
They also buffed Evasive Fire from 130%/60% to 160%/80%, and I'm looking forward to that. I had a speed running build and Evasive Fire was my go-to since it is hitscan.
Hopefully, I can regear back to this:

Also, I believe Travis Day has stated this is the rarest item in the game:

Game servers are up and running. Just logged in real quick to fix all of my settings, since they reset. Will goof with the game later tonight after dem WoW raidz.

Panicked for a second because the Auction House button was gone. It's just undergoing maintenance.

A lot of people in the Diablo subreddit were also panicking, because the button was gone.

Had some fun with [MENTION=1087]Shidoshi[/MENTION]. Surprised they didn't nerf Rush of Essence before release since it's the exact opposite design goal that Wyatt Cheng wants for Witch Doctors. I can support pure Spirit Barrage spam without breaks while using Slow Burn, Locust, Haunt, and two wildcards, but I opted to use Pierce the Veil and Vision Quest since I was running Pyrogeist with it, which is stupid good single target DPS for a free spell.
Panicked again when I tried to retrieve some AH items and they disappeared for a bit. I accidentally dumped 10 000 Tomes of Secrets into my stash, so there's 10 slots of inventory that I have to decide what to do with. My other 20 000 that wasn't in the AH turned into Demonic Essences, so I'll never run out of those again. I need to start sorting through all my trash and start brimstoning things because I'm such a packrat. Most of my characters only have like 10~20 free units in their inventory.
Found two legendaries so far, Tal Rasha's Amulet, which is on my Wizard now, and a Sunkeeper that I gave away, which rolled pretty high. 11xx plus a socket.

I've tried out Torment, and my Barb was getting wrecked. Can't WoTB faceroll anymore either, so I'm trying to find an adjusted WW build to still allow me to generate near infinite fury and getting some good life sustain (I heard WW Wind Shear is one way of doing that). I'm saddened that I used to be able to handle MP3-MP4 no problem, now I feel super weak and regain life too slow.
I do love the fact potions are picked up the same way gold is, and heal 60% now. Smart loot is doing wonders for my lowbies.
Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Dark Link - 2014-02-26
I played my Barb for a couple hours on Torment 1 and I found the class super boring now IMO. I switched to my Frost Wizard and I'm already having more fun.
Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - IllegallySane - 2014-02-26
Won't lie. I kind of had the same feeling too. Hopped on my Demon Hunter for the heck of it. More fun. Barbs are once again getting the short end of the stick. Maybe not being as weak (need to confirm), but just less fun when you're not WWing like supersonic spinning top with 10,000 blades anymore.
Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Dark Link - 2014-02-26
Did I miss something? I'm guessing these kinds of items are actually level 61+? I've gotten a couple of these "locked level 60" items now and it's confusing me.

I noticed a few bug reports about this. Don't think there's any official word yet, but I think they can be salvaged for the 61+ materials if they really are 61+.
Skeleton King still guarantees a Legendary on Quest Resets.
Kicking myself right now because about a month ago, I started buying every recipe, since they were going to become legacy and might not drop anymore. Didn't end up finishing because I didn't care that much, and now I just bought a Seven Sins for 450m instead of 30m. At least I'm having fun and spending my gold instead of hoarding it :3
If you guys are short on Common Debris, Halls of Agony and Cursed Hold drop a ton of whites from weapon racks. You can checkpoint in Cursed Hold and remake to clear that alone for quite a bit.
Also, didn't think two skill bonuses could spawn on one item but:

It seems like the "Quest Reset" is broken for people who pre-ordered the digital edition of RoS, myself included. Apparently it tries to reset Act V and causes an error in the process.
