official Diablo III

Have you guys made it to Inferno yet? Normal zombies at the start can 3 shot you, and rare/elite mobs easily kill you in a second or quicker.

No I'm on Hell, but are you saying that Blankman is more powerful than Thor, Juggernaut or Batman???? lol

I think it means that one is as powerless as Blankman on the hardest settings. That each level makes you progressively weaker.

[LOC Veteran]

I suppose you could take it that way (now that I think about it lol).

Also, does anyone know if the gear you put on companions (like say, +% Magic Find) affects your character, or ?

Ding Ding Ding :)

In normal, it is easy mode, you are basically a god and you probably wont die. Nightmare, you are strong as hell still, but you probably will die a few times. Hell mode, you are a man with some power, but no where near super powered, as you still have to use tactics. Inferno, you are a normal human trying to kill super hordes with what seems like a plunger :p

[shakey]

Oh I see. I thought all blacksmith crafted items were random. That makes sense, then.

Also, why would people be duping normal blue items? There are much better items to dupe than blues :p But ya, most of what you are seeing are artisan created or vendor bought.

For me, the gameplay in Torchlight 1 is not near as tight or interesting as it is in Diablo 3. I'm looking forward to play Torchlight 2, and was kinda bummed that it didn't come out sometime before Diablo 3.

Same. Although I have gotten a chance to check out a beta of TL2 and honestly I wasn't really impressed with it. It's fun but it's not really as fun as D3 is for me. Maybe something to play for a little bit after I'm done with D3.

That sucks :(. I had issues logging in on the release day and then a little bit of an issue last night. Other than that, no real problems. Blizzard is issuing refunds to people not happy about server downtime.

This. I had issues logging on at launch and I had issues for about 5 minutes yesterday but other than that I've been able to play without issue whenever I wanted to. Sorry to hear that some people are still having login issues though.

This is dead on... I sure do feel like Blankman :p

Haha that's a great image.

Servers are offline yet again.

@ Shakey : Yeah, sure.

We will be performing maintenance on Thursday, May 31st. Maintenance will begin at 11:00 AM PDT and conclude at approximately 12:00 PM PDT. During this time, servers and many web services will be unavailable. Thank you for your patience

seriously.

[Prosidius]

blah, and I was just getting ready to kill Diablo in Hell too. :p

[Amarok]

seriously.

Better now than during peak hours I suppose.

Always during my lunch break lol.

I believe you get 20% of your companion's total magic find and/or gold find added to your own. The percentage might be off, but you definitely get some of their mf/gf. Just not 100% of it.

For people having issues getting into the game... what's going on?

I'm stuck in an infinite Update loop. The little box pops up saying Updating Setup Files,

it seems to be downloading stuff, then it starts again. Grr...

I would close the launcher and restart it. Sometimes that helps, though I'm speaking from second hand knowledge. My launcher has always worked fine.

It's blizzards way of thanking you for letting them force you into playing online.

[McCordRm]

Found the fix.

I had to change Secondary Logon to automatic instead of disabled. Grr...

Not that it mattered. Server is still down.

Yeah, was able to login about 10 minutes ago. Didn't play though as the game is very laggy in OS X compared to my Win7 boot camp. Just a quick [rant - Apple is really ****ing me off with their game support. Blizzard has always made the effort to make hybrid releases which is awesome but Apple still hasn't figured out how to support major gaming. With my HD 3000 I am getting 30fps in v-sync with Win7; in OS X I'm fluttering 18fps. Can't wait to get my gaming PC built. /rant]

I hope I can get through Normal here in the next few days. I kind of wish I would have rolled a Wizard but I'll trudge through with my Barb.

edit: Those of you using the authenticator, do you have it set up to ask for it every log in or just the standard once a week? I have it set to the former but am wondering if its overkill because if it doesn't recognize where you are logging in from it asks you for it anyway.

[Lord Nite]

I haven't changed the authenticator settings since they implemented the "if you change locale, you have to authenticate again" method. I've only had it ask me a handful of times but, if you are truly paranoid, you can leave it to ask each time.

Remember somewhere in this post how I stated that you could get multiple Neph Valor buffs from the same group... well, apparently this is how it happened :p

"

Killing lifelinked packs for easy Nephalem valor buff

If you happen upon an elite pack that is lifelinked, you will receive a valor buff for each individual of the pack. So that is 3 easy valor there. "

[arrrgh]

If you happen upon an elite pack that is lifelinked, you will receive a valor buff for each individual of the pack. So that is 3 easy valor there.

killing lifelinked vampiric pack on inferno is definitely worth 3 stack of valor.

I have a question for those of you working on Inferno mode:

I am thinking of re-rolling a Demon Hunter. How are they in Inferno? I have heard the melee classes are the worst to pick, so I was hoping ranged would be easier to manage. I will be playing with a RL friend most of the time (Barbarian), but I would like to solo farm occasionally.

Range is supposed to have it easy because it is easier to kite. If a mob surrounds though a Wiz or DH, they will drop just as fast or faster than the other classes. The melee classes are supposed to have some tweaks in store for inferno that will make them more viable. At the moment, it is a painful grind in Inferno as a Monk :/ until I get the "right" gear.

Well said :laugh:

[McCordRm]

Finally hit level 10. Yay, me. Haven't been able to play and it's been

killing me. I'm glad it's living up to the hype so far. I've missed my

mindless hack-N-slash fun.
