Hope you get one soon as well!!

Still nothing, but during a run my 1 first found 2 Zunimassa's pieces within 5 minutes for our buddy. Of course he promptly vended it by accident, haha. Still has the boots, vended the off hand.

Played a bit last night and didn't find anything especially good (so till at 1 legendary and 0 set pieces lifetime, and the most I've ever been able to sell something for is like 150,000 gold). Though did find some yellows that were actually halfway decent compared to the stuff I usually find (stuff that's half the armor or damage of what I have on).

But I do think the patch made it easier overall, I find I'm more survivable now, at least I was able to progress through Inferno and not have it net me negative gold due to repairs, stuff that used to insta-kill me now gives me enough extra time to react.

Man, I had horrible luck yesterday. Did 9 key warden Act 3 runs at MP5 last night, only got 1 key.

What MP are you running? I can slowly do MP4 but I wonder if it's worth running a lower MP for speed.

Was doing it at MP5. We were in a group of 4 and going at a pretty good pace. Is it slow paced because of their health or their damage? The hotfix released today drops monster damage on all MP by 25% so that might help you.

The more annoying thing for me is I have 4 organs each from 2 of the 3 ubers but haven't been able to get the one from Ghom. Still awaiting my first crack at the hellfire ring.

Ah, I just had found a shield yesterday that I was super stoked about. It was the difference between MP 10 being headache inducing and just challenging. Now MP10 is back to spin around with no strategy or tactics for my WW barb and of course the monster health makes it no real point in doing it. If I had it my way, I would have upped the damage in MP 10 and reduced the life.


Anyways, I tried and succeeded in doing MP 8 Ubers solo yesterday pre-nerf. With the nerf as long as I can get over the enrage timers hump MP 10 should be a cake walk...

^^Enrage timers were removed in 1.04 IIRC

Normal elites had the enrage timer removed but certain bosses still have enrage timers, including their uber counterparts. I believe Skeleton King and Maghda are clear but the other 2 can enrage. Zolton Kulle and Seigebreaker enrage around 8 minutes and from the sounds of things to solo them at MP 10 you're going to need 400K+ damage so I'll just scratch MP 10 Ubers off for now :P

It is due to their health. I am only at 50k dmg or so. I don't have great gear and focused a bit more on survivability so my dps is not that great. I thought it was okay but it seems many people are rocking 100k plus.

I am running a sentry tank build though. With this reduced damage hotfix maybe I'll try a more damage focused build.

Been soloing MP4 the last few days with at most one death per run. 7 Legendaries in 2 days. Based on this nerf that is live now I should easily be able to consider MP5 at least. I approve of this, but I wish the AH prices would start to come down for people.

So 1.07, the PvP patch, is coming out soon here. Wouldn't surprise me to find out that after maintenance today the PTR for it will be good to go as they've already datamined the 1.07 changes. Finally feels like we're about to enter the end of the beta...although even then the PvP they are releasing isn't the same PvP they intended to originally and could be considered just a beta form PvP

[Tinordi]

Wow people still play this game?

Worst most regretful $60 spent in a decade.

[magicpixels]

Nah FFXIV was so much worse than Diablo.

[automaton 3]

Haven't touched that game in months, and not a huge burning desire to go back. Too little too late Bizzard.

haha, you are a much smarter shopper than myself and the people I know am, I can easily think of a dozen things that I feel regretful over more than Diablo 3

3DTV
Zune
Windows 2000
DiaperGenie
every toy that wasn't a ball for my kid
that last round of drinks at the stampede... (really regretted those actually)

Diablo 3 is actually probably one of my better purchases as it kept me in the house for a few weekends and probably ended up saving me money rather than spending it with real people.

I'll poke back in the game anyways, maybe good items have become more plentiful with people farming so hard for the last few months.

I loved our DiaperGenie!

Without a doubt.. This was definitely not even close to the original, or sequel.

[KTrain]

For the amount of time I played, it was worth the $60. It's not something I could go back to playing though.

Win2K was one of the best versions of the OS. Why would be a regret?

So I guess I won't be able to log in for a day or two, nice. Yesterday I found out I missed out on the Great Brim Spike (damn work

I just skimmed thru patch notes and apparently the devs still cant let go off hydra, how cute. My wizard is still pretty much shelved, now its DH all the way.
