Diablo III: Reaper of Souls
 

When's the 360 version due?

The 360 hasn't been announced as of yet, but the PS4 and Xbox One are confirmed to have it released in the near future

Loved playing the Hardcore mode, where you die once and it's over, but my game froze in Hell difficulty and my character died.

There's a folder in your computer that displays all screenshots from your HC character's demise

@ Heisenberg. Just noticed your message, I'll add you when I'm back on later.

On constantly trying to find a damn Thunderfury and/or Fulminator for my barbarian. I'm over 500k base dps without a good weapon yet.

What difficulty are you running?

Sometimes, not very often, but sometimes if you contact Blizz over a HC character dying due to freezing/large lag spikes, they will rollback your account to pre-death. I've seen it happen a few times.

They actually had a pretty large occurrence of it a couple months ago, if I recall. They gave a bunch of people their characters back.

I'm grinding for Thunderfury too, I'm switching back and forth with my Barb and Crusader, both at 70 to kind of stay fresh and they trade STR gear.

I am not home to pass on my current DMG, but it has increased after a great weapon drop(Rare, but it'll do with the socket for Crit DMG) so I'm comfortably doing Expert for speed runs, and Torment 1 when doing Public/challenging solo play.

I don't discriminate against the Normal side of things, it's fun, but my Crusader doesn't generate Wrath that good when he one shots demons.

Here's a list on what I look for when I choose to grind stuff.

Just a little caveat, they bumped up the chances of getting legendary craft item drops to the same % of Death's Breath, these mats drop off certain elite spawns, so don't expect them to be dropping like rain. They'll drop more often when you find the certain elite spawn.

I thought I was getting more Death's Breath the higher the difficulty. I've just been running normal adventure mode with my barb for the caches then opening them in torment since they're still currently bugged in that if you open them in torment(regardless of which difficulty you earn them in) they'll still have a chance to pop Imperial Gems. My Barb does over 500k unbuffed, then with Battle Shout it jumps to over 630k, not to mention I have 50%(47% unbuffed) crit chance and just shy of 400% crit dmg.

I'm going to try the cache bug definitely. I barely played this weekend, with WM and GoT all up in the way and stuff I did get some levels on my HC Crusader, SerPowerslam.

He is a descendent of the mighty SerChokeslam. They were forged of the same Nephalem prototype. He only has one life and he intends to live it out until he gets jailed and poisoned to death in a tomb somewhere.

Haven't picked up RoS yet but fully planning on it. I've been hearing overwhelmingly positive reviews of it, things like how this is the game D3 should have been, etc. Only sticking point with most people is the price tag ("$40 for a fix?"). May get it on payday next week.

I hopped onto D3 the other night to play the patched vanilla game and was having a blast on my Witch Doctor. I'm noticing already the incredibly increased drop rate of useful items, due to the elimination of the AH. Good change. Tell me, how amazing is Adventure Mode? That alone makes me want to get RoS.

Adventure Mode is a main event option my man, the ONLY downside is you have to complete the story mode to unlock it, but only once and then the other heroes can just straight level Adventure Mode.

road doggy dogg, I will powerlevel you myself if you would so honor me with your battletag when you get up my man.

Hell, I'll power level anyone that is on when I'm on.

I like to help ppl get caught up and enjoy the content, please don't hesistate to ask if I'm online and you need that PUSH

I've already beaten the game on my WD; don't remember if I beat BIG D(ale Newstead) on Inferno or not though. I think farthest I got was that cockblock Belial on Inferno. I donut no. Regardless, I doubt I'll need powerlevelling on him, I always like to experience the ish firsthand on my first go through of any new content.

I forget my BattleTag, I'll look it up when I get off work today. I know my name is tonavin, I think my # is 1510 off the top of my head

You'll need to complete the new Act before experiencing Ad mode. I'll honor your first run through, and I'll be more than willing to help if you need it. You shouldn't have to suffer Public games

I have never done a single public game, I either do it all on my own, or with my dad in which we cheat adventure mode again by him taking two acts, me taking two acts, and doing the 5th one together for faster runs. Though sometimes my cousin and uncle have us do it with them for even faster runs.

I wish I had a tag team to help me clear out acts like that.......

I will tag team with you someday, now that baseball season has begun I can dedicate more time to gaming. During the cold winter months I watch a lot of scripted television, but with SPORTS on I can keep that going in the background while I hack and/or slash some daemons avec toi

I am the Nephalem Champion Sanctuary needs, the Champion they will get, and the Champion that will remain

Here's a quick Blizzard blue post about an upcoming hotfix
The Bad!
Unique monsters now drop less items.
*Uniques were dropping far more loot than their difficulty would warrant.

Chest spawns have been thinned out across all acts of the game.
*Ideally chests become less common and something that players can’t flip games to farm. It is our goal to make them feel exciting and rewarding when you find them.

The Good!
The bonus legendary drop rate for rifts is being increased from 25% to 100%!
*This means that while in a rift your chance to find a legendary item from monsters, chests, elites, and everything else is double what it is outside of rifts. No this does not mean opening bounty bags in rifts is the new hotness. ;P

Kadala’s legendary drop rate has been significantly increased.
*Blood Shards are meant to be a compelling element of rift rewards and something players are excited to get.

I have two stacks of rift tokens waiting to get used...good

I blew all my blood shards trying to feed Tyrael...bad

Chest spawns: I'm a little happy about that, it was never exciting splitting demons in half to walk over to a chest and collect a blue item.

Finally! Kadala stopped being a whore and delived unto me a damn near perfect, already socketed Fulminator. FTFUCKINGW.

That is all.

Added you earlier, should be Seph#1997.

K I'll add when I get home later, nice to hear about Kadala, what other stats you got on it?

Lucky you, Seph, I'm still getting crap from her.

Mine is Itkovian#1862

I added both of you, I was cranking out the last part of Act V on my Hardcore Crusader SerPowerslam. Now I have adventure mode unlocked so it is going to be more enjoyable leveling there.

If you guys need some help powerleveling your Crusader, let me know. I didn't get any powerlvl'ing help on mine, but I'm down to help if that is what you need.


I was on Act III two days ago and almost died to Ghom, but I leveled and went to full health. I saw my health go down upon killing him. I didn't know what to do, I tried to rush away from him and then a burst of light came over the screen and I thought I was gone 4 life.

Got a fair bit of playing in tonight. Hit 70 and did a rift thing with a buddy of mine. This game is fun again. I can't wait to suck hours/days of my life finding good pixels again

Added you Heisenberg, let us flay demons together soon.

I played mostly on my HC crusader, SerPowerslam this weekend.

I haven't been bothering anyone to group up as I know the game is still new and I don't want to crash the party. I know down the line I am able to host a full TPWW group that will take advantage of the split bounty thing. We'd be flowing in caches and destroying rifts. It will be glorious.

I got a few upgrades in SC for Crusader SerChokeslam and got my DH to 70, my third Nephalem to get there.

I spent some time trying the Jar of Souls Torment 6 stuff, it yields a good profit, but I was caught a few times getting there. I might try it again on my DH instead of Crusader.

TPDUB Bounty Murderfest 2014

I might level up my Wizard to run public games with in the future. They are powerful, I have my DH for group things. I usually run with the Crusader, but he is not as powerful to run with other Nephalem yet.

I've been mostly running Normal bounties to quickly get caches, until I'm geared up enough to tear through Torment. Got a Mad Monarch's Scepter last night, not totally ideal stats (vit, no socket... common enough to get so not gonna bother re-rolling since I'll get another soonish) and HOLY HELL it is the most fun thing of ever. On my WD I Spirit Walk into a group of bad guys, Soul Harvest, Piranhas, whatever random right-click spell, and by then enough bad guys die that the mace procs and KABOOM more bad guys die. And I have that one passive that reduces each CD by 1 second per bad guy killed within 20 yards, so basically none of my spells have cooldowns. Sexcellent.

May not be the most viable build for T1+ but for doing Normal bounties it is perfect

I saw you running some T6 stuff the other night and my e-peen kind of shriveled a bit. I'm still midcard status

I grind on Normal, it's so fast and gets the gear, plain and simple. I like the flow of the WD and Wizard, I'm going to stray from my comfort zone and get those guys up to snuff soon. I'm usually a melee guy, but I'm practicing to stay alive and applying that to my HC career.

Oh no no friend, I was doing that Jar of Souls test I was talking about. I don't stay there. I was testing viability and wanted to get a piece of pie before they nerf it. I was testing toons and who was able to withstand the journey it takes to get into the jar room. It nets a good amount of xp and is going to get discovered soon enough. Everyone exploits stuff so fast that I have to sit at work and watch it get taken away. I wanted that piece o pie.

THE TEST: T6 Act 1, see the Jar of Souls bounty or go to the cemetery and hope for it to be there, run through the trash/elites, enter the Jar room, activate event, port to Tristam and stay there for a minute, go back and end event. You might have to deal with the elite mob that is there, but the XP is worth the minor trouble.

I didn't die, b/c I think it voids the whole scheme, so make sure you port right by the Jar. you can die after you end the event.

opened up 8 caches at the same time last night after spending less than an hour in public normal adventure.

I got an amulet that I had to reroll a stat on, but it was worth it. I'm about to be broke though, because I gamble too much

I finally got a legendary from gambling. Got a ssssssssssnake offhand, not either of the ones I wanted (Homonculus or Thing of the Deep), but it was nice to actually get something decent.

Haven't gotten any awesome items since my mace though. It is so much fun. Thinking of going to a Zombie Bears build and stacking some +poision% damage to benefit both DA BEARZ and the 'splosions.

If you're around tonight let's play together(® xbox) and kill demons n shit. Do you have vent/teamspeak/skype?

I do have teamspeak, my good friend runs it and we will have a personal room if needed.

I was going to ask last night if I could hop in, but I stared at my friend's list and thought about other stuff and got sidetracked, sorry, plus I didn't want to bug you.

It's Wednesday and I usually don't have piss to do parent wise, so no practices and I will hit you up

My old WoW guild still runs our Vent server... a bunch of them play D3 too (I'm in the clan because SOCIALIZING) so we could use that. I have a personal TS server with some friends as well, or we could use yours. Either/or.

Feel free to hop in any of my games at any time, I'm usually just shooting the shit with bros on vent/TS if they're in-game avec me and we're mad laid back. Doing bounties n stuff Boba Fett style

Cool, I didn't want to force ppl to play with me, that's the current problem I have. I've added you, Dark and Seph out of respect and didn't want to force y'all to play. I'd like to group up down the road when we can see where we stand....I'm trying to gear up like the rest of the Nephalem and find how who I am.

I gotta say that 4 ppl in separate bounties makes for an overflow of cache rewards and xp. It's Nephalem tested, Cain approved

Split pushing is the way to go if you can manage it, for defs. We can be our own Evolution
