Diablo III - New patch 2.1 Coming Aug 26

[Flaming Choy]

FYI, they upgraded the Profiles on web so you can see people's gear and stuff better.

[Shawnski]

Didn't know they had updated that FC. Pretty cool.

So this is my main character. MF geared to just over 200% with NV and farming Act II rather easily at this point.

[Rathji]

This is the gear I use to farm Act 1 and it is pretty trivial. About 180% MF (with NV) then there are few pieces I swap in only for Warden/Butcher kills to get over 200% MF, since I actually focus on the fight, rather than speeding through. I refuse to swap midfight, since it almost always leads to me dying.

edit: Apparently, my MF pants have disappeared and been replaced with vendor fodder pants, so I assume there was a right click mishap. Swapped in my normal pants for now.

edit2: Apparently it doesn't update right away, anyone know when it will refresh?

Here are the fruits of my labour. Mostly just a bunch of random Lv 50+ characters, none really worth mentioning, but I've had fun playing all of them.

I've been playing some hardcore the last week or so, and having a lot of fun with it. My barb is up to level 50 now, and I just killed NM Diablo last night. I don't think I'm ready for Hell quite yet though. As an added challenge to myself I'm playing without using the AH, so my self-found gear up to this point is quite weak.

Edit: BattleTag is Komskies#1967

Might be a good idea to change all your passwords etc.

Here is the big honchos note about it...

Not good. If you have any related email/passwords on other accounts like PayPal or eBay or whatnot, you should change them

Quick question. when I put a ruby in a helm and get increase bonus experience, is that per kill, or referring to the experience I get at the end of a kill streak?

Both I think.

Update on 1.04 patch: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/6923...view-8_10_2012

One thing that makes me very happy, right at the end: no more Invulnerable Minions affix!

Invuln is what DH do best!

(The really, really suck for any melee though)

This quote sums up what is wrong with the game in one shot:
"We don’t think they fit well into the general philosophy of the game, which is more about trying to farm as efficiently as possible. "

heh yep. right from the horses mouth, the goal of the game isn't to have fun, it's to mindlessly farm the same areas over and over again so your set of randomly generated numbers are better than someone elses set of randomly generated numbers

[SilverGS]

And that is different from D2 how?

[photon]

Invulnerable arcane minions (specifically spiders where there were a dozen of them) made me stop playing Inferno (well not really but it certainly contributed), I might start playing again after 1.0.4

Reduced repair cost doesn't hurt either.

[jammies]

Diablo is all about killing things and finding stuff. So, yah, farming is the game. I certainly don't play for the mesmerizing story.

[Thor]

Be interesting to see the class changes, might give the game another try after this patch.

[Pacem]

I've just been doing co-op Butcher runs for awhile now. Still haven't found anything of any use for me. Out of all my gear I think 1 item is something I actually got from a drop. Everything has been bought thru the AH.

I haven't played solo in quite some time so no idea how i'll do in Act 2. I got about half way thru in co-op, I was carried thru at the time by a good group lol.

Any DH's feel like critiquing my build and/or gear choices.... Go nuts :P

Reading the majority of posts the past handful of pages, this game sounds like a day of work more than a day of fun.
