Diablo III

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?

oh. is this bloody thing that I wasted a load of cash on worth playing now?

been playing over the last week as time allows... so much more fun now. feels much more like D2 (except the dialog is still terrible, but not even terrible enough to be funny)

Got Reaper of Souls last week - finished it on Normal last night and got my monk up to level 70. Act V is pretty fun, it's got some really big maps. Was doing it on Hard for most of the act but couldn't get anywhere with Malthael on that difficulty so dropped back to Normal to kill him.

Adventure mode is a nice addition. Basically you just teleport to a place with loads of monsters and kill them, good way to farm for gems etc.

Started a crusader but only up to Skeleton King on Act I so far.

I just wanted a quiet night of killing cultists and cleansing the earth of the unrighteous without having to deal with some easter egg level brony bullshit

http://pbs.twimg.com/media/B2tK4nRCUAAifoO.jpg

i have gotten that stupid easter egg like 4 times

and the last 2 damn times were not portals dropped by a the little Golden Axe gold guy actual levels on a greater rift so i had no choice but to play through the whole stupid thing. it was mildly amusing for about five seconds, ONCE.

in other news i am new to this game and can anyone tell me

1. what class if any is good for soloing besides Barbarian
2. is it super cheap and gamebreaking to pass your maxed out gems from your Inferno character to your lvl 1 character or is it supposed to be like that

thank you!

1. I've got characters in all the classes, and the most fun to play is the dual-crossbow wielding witch doctor.

2. No one is saying that you can't do it. If anything, the sooner you complete a full quest and can get to adventure mode, the better.

Did you mean the dual-crossbow-wielding demon hunter? Far as I can tell the witch doctor can only dual-wield different kinds of frogs and such and any weapon is purely ornamental.

doh! Yes I meant demon hunter.

This is still really good! It is interesting that Blizzard seem to have determined that any long-term problems with a game are basically a matter of economics.

I've almost beaten the game, but am tied up in late Act V slog and switched to the Witcher for a while
