Diablo 3 Discussion Thread

I am trying to get the Marauder set for my DH and last night 2 Natalya Set pieces dropped at the same location, and I got the chest piece from Kadala about an hour later, already had the boots got them awhile back.
I don't think the 4 set cooldown works right or maybe I am not understanding it.
If I use it and then I kill 30 people right away, I should have the Rain of Vengeance available right away, right? It doesn't say that they have to die from the Rain.

Yeah, it works that way - only you have to get the killing blow. Pretty much makes it useless for group play unless your over-dps-ing the rest of the group.
 
It's working. Every kill I get regardless of what I use to kill them with moves it faster. Just ran a few rounds on normal to see if it was working.

What are these round rift stones for? I have 707 of them.

I think that spreadsheet is full of crap :p, because I have just started spamming Kadala and have not gotten anything better than yellows with ~400 shards.

400 shards is basically not even worth discussing. I spent ~20,000 shards getting Akkhan pants. It's all random. Sometimes you have good luck, sometimes not so much.
 
Running the bounties in normal seems to drop decent items and it's fast. been trying to get the Royal Ring of Grandeur in the ACT1 cache.

Those are for opening Nephalem Rift. Rifts have higher drop rates for legendary items and the rift guardian in each one drops Blood Shard to gamble for more loot at Kadala with.

The RRoG is a Torment II legendary, afaik. So you won't get it on normal no matter how many times you run A1.

Nope. Act 1 normal caches will drop it. I've gotten several of them. Torments will have a higher chance but it's a moot point unless you can get into an effective split bounty group at that level.

Zepher -- make sure you are doing act 1 split bounties with 4 other people - makes it a lot quicker. After you get your RRoG, join the rift it forward community and join last in or highest opens rifts to maximize your shards - this will drop you in for the rift guardian and you can get a ton of bloodshards and start targeting gear you need via gambling. If you are not slow joining, odds can be around 300 shards per 5 fragments I've seen on average. At your current level of frags, thats 140+ rift guardians and a lot of Kadala chances at some upgrades. Make sure to plan out the gear you want before spending shards.

Once you get some of the gear you are needing, start running rifts at T3+ and using RIF to have people open the rifts for you when you get to the RG. No more farming keys then.

Yes try to join the "Bounty Runz" community, you can get a cache every 5 minutes or so. Goes way faster when trying to get those RRoGs.
 
New patch changes the rift, costs one fragment per character to enter the rift.
Greater rifts (tiered rifts) are will be in the new patch as well.
Only the rift master drops loot in the greater rifts, as the rifts are timed, complete it before time runs out and you advance to the next rift.
New Legendary Gem will drop from the greater rift guardian, gem is only for rings and amulets and will have special powers when dropped in certain rings or amulets. Legendary Gems are also upgradable.

Greater Rifts are truly a challenge, and conquering such challenges should be met with great reward. To provide a unique and upgradable incentive, we're introducing Legendary Gems.
Legendary Gems are still undergoing significant iteration at this time, so you won't see them available on the PTR right away. The gist is that these gems are infinitely upgradeable, and provide special Legendary powers when socketed into the appropriate gear slot. They can only be socketed into Rings and Amulets, and can be upgraded by completing additional Greater Rifts. The higher you place in a Greater Rift, the more likely your gem will be successfully upgraded. We'll have more details in the future as we continue development on these powerful baubles, so stay tuned!

Legendary gems and rift changes -- excellent. Class/item revamps, great. Seasons and ladders -- cool for those who like that. Putting items ( new content ) behind a gate that requires either waiting X months or rolling a new character is bullshit.
 
Ya, I don't like the waiting for the new items either.
I've got 750 rift Stones, if I hold on to them, I'll be able to participate in 750 rifts, lol
they need the Rfit Stone item holder able to hold 1000, that way I won't have 8 cubes being used.
 
So I am curious on your thoughts on something. Should they bring back the Druid from D2? My roommate doesn't like D3 because a Druid was his favorite to play and he hates the leveling system.

Considering an expansion just came out, pretty low chance of that happening soon.

I'd also take the Necromancer and Assassin. Basically they broke up those 3 char classes and folded them into WD, DH and Legendary item bonuses.
 
Wow, I can't believe people are still playing this game.

I beat Diablo several times and after that it got boring so I stopped.

What are you folks doing in the game now?

Diablo was never about "beating the game", it's about the loot grind.

A lot of people have hundreds or thousands of hours in both D2 and D3.
 
My friend who played it back then and now said the game has gotten much better since they took out the auction house.

Not sure myself, since I only played a little bit using his account. It wasn't half bad I guess, for the hour or so that I played. It wasn't omg awesome either though. But that was back then...

Have you never played the Diablo series before D3? It's not about beating the game, in fact the game doesn't even start until max level (70).
 
That's like losing your virginity then calling gg on the rest because you already did the thing. No we want to keep going and conquering and finding better til that orange or green light shines into the heavens..

They revamped the game heavily with a patch during expansion release. It's nothing like the game was at launch. There's yet another patch coming out soon which will revamp parts again giving another entirely new experience.

I also still play as there hasn't been any game since that carries my attention. My game rotation these days is D3, UT99 and once in a blue moon, FC3. I suspect GTAV will be my next PC purchase....after a few months of beta testers try the game out.

That's like saying you beat Counter-Strike because you played every map.

If you care, which you don't since this is a troll post, start with February 2014 patch notes through to the current version.
 
Ok, maybe I'll give it another try.

I actually uninstalled the game. I guess I can re-download it from somewhere.
 
Running a Guild event, come on down for bounty runs on Friday from 6-8PM PST. Come for part or all of it!
Get your RoRG or just farm frags, either way!

Afterwards, feel free to chill and run some rifts or just general chit-chat.

Nice! Need to get the group together more
 
The [H] guild has been pretty active and helpful. Been doing some split bounties and it's a ton of fun to run them with the guild.

I'd like to run at least 1 community thing a week. If you can help with that, that'd be great. Bounties are a good place to start. I also think maybe a newbie day or a Rift day would be good, but everyone is in such different places difficulty wise, it's harder to arrange a Rift day.

Awesome, I'm glad. Tell your friends. I'd like to get the community together and active.

probably done 50 bounty runs so far and now RoRG. :(
Click to expand...

Join us on Friday! I generally say it's about 70-100 caches on average to get a RoRG. Trust me, I've gotten about 18!

I'm Jeremiah, the only one in the guild... or if you're not in the guild, then Jeremiah#1810.
I'll be on the entire 2 hour period (minimum). I'm hoping that we'll have at least 12 people, or enough to run at least three full groups. Should be a fun evening.
 
Should be there Friday, will try to drag Wild and Irish with me (if I can pry Wild from StarCitizen)!

Main problem with split bounties is a random map and dungeon location. Yeah, the faster you run, the faster you find the place. Or just get boots and other stuff with +movement speed.

Demon Hunter or a Wizard with the high movement skills.

Though really I think things get cleared fastest with people who know how the maps are laid out. dungeon maps are random, but there are often patterns that tell you which way to go. Also the outdoor maps often have objects spawn in 1 of X locations. Knowing where those locations are is key to clearing fast.
 
Yeah they might add the Farmer class

Only three abilities: Pitchfork Stab, Spectral Combine, and teleporting right to the bounty target.

Passives: Pick strength, dex, or int on items
+25% movement speed
