Crusader is now as chunky as Barb and Monk with the damage reduction. I just need to gear mine up, compared to my Barb he sucks.

I haven't played D3 or any games for a week now. Life and stuff at the moment. Will get back into D3 by the weekend though.

There's a 100% increase in legendary drops event for the rest of the week, Hiro, time to FARM MOAR JUNK!

Well, was a nice night. Got 4 legendary plans and 1 legendary chest, Blackfeather.  So my DH is rocking T1 easier now, hooray,

Heh, my DH got a new pair of legendary pants and a legendary plan. And I was showered with rift keystone fragments. Ican't say I rock T2, but it's slowly becoming what T1 was for me a month ago.

I'm probably over cautious and could have gone T1 sooner. Had 400k dps and 6.5 million toughness and stayed on Master.

Wow. You must have been one-shotting bosses.

Hardly, but was fairly easy.  Am at near 600k now and it's pretty comfortable in that I still have to not faceroll champions or elites but don't get bogged down fighting whites. 

New patch coming next week. Greater rifts, leg gems, leaderboards, seasons and such.

Patch tomorrow

Yeah, I just re-installed D3. My body is ready for a huge kill xp fix right now, for some reason.

I've noticed that levels seem vastly easier to achieve since my last go-around in Diablo III.  My crusader is almost the same level as the monk I'd beaten the game with previously.

I've been playing it with my son on PS4 today, it's a pretty cool port.

Amentep: Yeah, and for me at least, that's for the better.

 

Monte: Cool! I'd love to try it out on PS4, just so see what it feels like.

 

Right now, I'm looking forward to entering those goblin portals and fight the Queen of Greed.

I've only played the console version (PS3) because of the online only "feature" of the PC version (almost didn't play the PS3 initial release until I read it was confirmed to stand alone).

 

Oh and about levels my Crusader is level 31 entering Act II; my Monk had beaten the game at level 38...and I agree IndiraLightfoot its made the game a bit more fun this time around.

I found this Blizzard dev post:

"Greetings, nephalem!

We're pleased to announce that our first Diablo III Season is scheduled to begin this Friday, August 29th. To ensure the roll-out process goes as smoothly as possible for all players, we're planning both a delayed and staggered release, with different gameplay regions launching the season at different times after patch 2.1.0 ships.

For reference, below are the current launch times for Season 1:

Asia: 9:00 a.m. PDT (1:00 a.m. KST, UTC +9)
Europe: 12:00 p.m. PDT (9:00 p.m. CEST, UTC +2)
Americas: 6:00 p.m. PDT (UTC -10)

For time zone assistance, visit: http://everytimezone.com/
To learn more about Seasons, visit: http://bit.ly/1rBFf9D

Please note that these times are tentative and subject to change. If they do, we will be sure to update this thread.

Thanks!"

 

Perhaps I will take part in one of them seasons. That would be a first for me. I didn't do that in D2, and neither did I do it in Path of Exile. Anybody here tried it?

What worries me is that it's a huge time sink. How much is needed to get any real fun out of it? Whatever that "fun" is?

I dove into the new patch for an hour or so, and some stuff is new to me:

-I had like 150 different crafting components, which now had the text "no longer in use, but vendors covet them" or something like it. Lo and behold, I sold those, and netted millions of gp!

-In the time I actually played, I did one rift - I got three legendary drops - one from an urn - and one of them, a crown was an upgrade, so it was a nice start.

-I also encountered twin bandits, some promo event they have going, and so far on Torment, I haven't succeeded in killing them both

-Another promo is 100% gold drops, which is great. I use that to craft up all of my old gems into those superior royal gems.

 

And the xp fix rushed straight through my veins, a fix much needed, if anyone's wondering.

Yeah, it's too bad they took out those legendary crafting components, it was kinda fun. Understandable though, as grinding for those optimally was pretty stupid.

Lesson of the day: Don't go against the Act2 keywarden with a missile build. Especially not on HC. RIP.

Sorry for your loss, MrBrown. Overall, I find those keywardens very unpredictable, especially those in Act2 and 3.

HA HA HA!!1

 

I mean RIP.

Slowly getting the Marauder's set for my DH, a clan mate has that (and every other legendary it seems...) and that 6 set bonus with Helltrapper will be awesome (turrets use hatred spenders and Helltrapper can spawn turrets, and turrets can spawn others, I think)

I'm still playing on PS4, it feels easier than the PC version but is still great MP fun.

Hey wuss, I only see you playing softcore these days. Lost your manhood?
