Diablo III

makes sense

I still love that one of the first things that happened when they introduced the authenticators was the ppl who got hacked would find themselves locked out of their accounts by an authenticator

i'm surprised how little motivation i've felt to play this. glitch had longer legs for me.

the auction house really makes annoying trade interactions and money probs go away. Need cash? Sell any rares you get at a fair bit below market price, but still 10x what the merchants would give, and someone will buy within hours!

Show's over, nothing to see here, please drop the price so I can buy it.

I started reading that but then got distracted by this:

I am trying to play this game less but it's not working so far

Im playing again on nightmare with my witch doctor even though I am completely tired with my skills, etc. Just seeing what pops up with new crafting options and what kind of legendary shit I can track down.. I got a legendary mace 2 days ago which was mediocre as all get out..

I'd start with another character if I didnt have to play all the way through on normal mode which is like playing 3/4ths of the games potential and is annoying.

that is why playing with others is good -- you've probably collected enough gear, or could, to make a new character pretty good out of the gate so you just have someone at a higher level help you speed run the first act

helm with an expensive ruby in it -> get exp a lot faster

the internet seems to think this is rubbish, but then the internet's full of knobs. so...worth buying?

honestly, it didn't do it so much for me.

I'm about to hit level 60 with my one character :/

i stopped playing after a week. the repetition and inventory shuffle just bores me now.

I'm interested in how the dynamic works in Inferno difficulty -- basically your character has maxed out its level right before you get to it, so it's all about maintaining your build and not dying so you can get better gear.

As opposed to my current status at the end of Hell difficulty, which appears to be dying constantly

You have to be 60 to enter Inferno, I believe, and the difficulty of Inferno doesn't give you a lot of freedom to mess around with builds. It gets pretty cookie cutter from what I understand.

Basically, from what I can tell, the dynamic is that you get to Inferno and its difficulty functions as a "pay wall", like in a Facebook game (that you paid $60 for).

You have three choices: Buy gear from the Real Money Auction House, grind earlier acts with hopes to get good drops you can sell on the gold auction house so you can afford to buy upgrades, or you can try to completely ignore the auction house and run Hell Act 3/4 over and over again until you either get lucky and get the gear you need, or just get bored of the game and start playing the Civ V expansion pack. Right before I decided on the second part of option #3, I was grinding Act I and II inferno in order to get gear I could use to progress through the rest of Act II, and so on.

New machine that can finally handle the requirements + brand new Demon Hunter. I'm on at: quartzcity#1211

Blizzard has sent me 5 emails over the last 2 days saying my chat ability t has been suspended for spamming or possibly repeating the as same phrase over and over or possibly just "pure gibberish."

I haven't logged on in more than a month.

I played it for work and now don't have much desire to play it any more. Which is weird because I played DIABLO 2 to death and beyond.

Signed up last night, played five levels. Woke up today to find my account has been suspended/banned. wtf

Lol how did that happen

I have to assume they were like "hey this guy sucks at this game" and that's why they banned me until 2037.

I was contacted by someone called "Game Master Tethanuin" and hopefully I am on the road to recovery.

My account was hacked as well. I recommend the blizzard authenticator to prevent this.

The main gripe I have with this game is that it doesn't require any skill or strategy to play. Just persistence.

i have had zero inclination to play this thing
i feel pretty good about that

played it for two or three weeks and have forgotten about it, it's so empty

yeah, same. it was really fun the time or two that i was playing with people i knew, but then i just stopped out of nowhere, no regrets.

except for the $60 I guess?

battle.net was compromised, apparently. check your accounts.

ok, downloading this now. going to try to get free version to work on my macbook (i think it should) b4 buying full version. i expect to be playing shortly tho - any ilxors still on this thing?

ha nope

I am ashamed to admit that I have been, but I've fallen off this week since I am kind of disgusted at myself for it.

I got about 2 weeks of solid entertainment out of it, but at level 56 somewhere in the middle of Hell, I can't see myself ever wanting to play again.

I'm to the point where I have a level 60 character, climbed up to that new Paragon level thing to about level 10, still not quite at the gear level to go further than Act 3 in Inferno. I gave up on doing one of the really spammy wizard builds and have one that's at least kind of fun to play. But after playing probably an average of an hour a day for over a week (and a couple more on the weekends) I'm kind of over it for now.

What's the most fun class?

I liked my monk a lot

witch doctor seems less-played but goofy as heck

Still playing the same demon hunter I started out with, but haven't really been interested in starting over with another class.

still playing this game because I want to get fame as fortune as the only wizard using DEATH BLOSSOM

brother got me this for christmas - a sly move, as he already had it and wanted someone to co-op with, but I was all 'no no srsly dude gotta read books n shit' (i'd already absolutely drawn the line at WoW, having had an entire month disappear when I first played it)

stayed up till three last night doing co-op with my demon hunter and levelling up my f'ing witch doctor ffs. (witch doctor is definitely fun btw).

generally only play these co-op games tho, so only review i can rly give is the meaningless 'not as good as portal 2'. the levelling grind is p tedious, but the variety of combat (large groups, dungeon raiding, plus the Act III battle type stuff) is appealing. Linear plotline feels so restrictive after the last game I played really intensively, Fallout 3 (which I loved).

MOTHERFUCKER! I JUST WANT TO GET WASTED AND PLAY DEMON HUNTER LAMONT CRANSTON/DIRTY HARRY AROUND INFERNO ACT II VERY DISTANT WASTELAND BUT THEN YOU HAVE TO THROW SNUFFY THE SNUFFLEUAGUS (INFESTOR OF BEDS) A DEMON-FUELED CLOUD OF BUGS THAT'S IMPERVIOUS TO EVERYTHING + VORTEX + MOLTEN + YADDA YADDA!

Harder to kill than any of the main bosses.

And with patch 1.0.8, I just defeated Diablo in Inferno level. Yay me.

Anybody still play this? I only got the game in August (I'm not a huge gamer) and I loved Diablo 2 and tbh not really getting why this game is so bad and hated, I'm still enjoying it. Got monk on Inferno Act II and I've played all the other classes through Normal. Demon hunter prob 2nd favourite, halfway through Nightmare with that one.

I'm still playing a bit. My two main characters have already made it through Inferno a couple times, so I've been leveling up a witch doctor.

Very much looking forward to the Reaper Of Souls expansion.

Anyone playing since the v2.0 update? The new drop system is great - finding much better items now.

Yeah, I can imagine some people being quite annoyed about it (I'm not fwiw, I never used the auction houses so I'm liking the fact I can get decent legendary items now) - I had some level 60 items in my stash that are easily beaten in stats by level 40 items now.

The bonus experience over the last few weeks was pretty useful, my wife bought the game and just started playing 2 weeks ago and she's got 2 characters up to level 60 already.

The auction house items I had just felt tainted compared with what I'm finding now. Started a crusader character.

Oh, and I um started an ILX clan, called simply 'ILX.' May death some swiftly to our foes.

I'd love to join the ILX clan but I guess I can't because I'm on the European server :(

Boo... Who else is still playing?
