Not sure the exact drop rates of the organs but usually your best bet is going with a group of 3 or 4 and everyone contributing machines.

That way instead of needing 3 machines to do each uber bosses you only need 1.

i've been stuck the past week trying to farm for the gibbering gemstone for the staff......seems they broke the drop rate so it's nearly impossible to get it now, but still possible :S

Since the game goes live at 10 pm Calgary time, are there any stores doing a 10 pm launch tonight? I'm buying a digital version but my brother is getting a Collector's Edition and really doesn't want to have to wait for stores to open tomorrow morning to get it. SE Calgary would be preferable.

I wonder if it will even be worth it trying to play at all tonight or tomorrow

Mine shipped from Amazon today so most likely won't have it till tomorrow (like having a physical copy). I wonder if the servers will be slammed today and if there will be connection queues like when the game first launched.

A better question is, can you remember the last Blizzard launch that didn't have server issues and massive queues on launch day?

I can guarantee queues for login and maps but just follow their guide and you will be fine.

We are making an Act 4 diablo run at about 9PM and just hanging out then they said they will make a server wide announcement at 10PM when RoS is unlocked and then we beat Diablo and the game will transition to Act 5. Doing it this way will avoid queues of making a new game after. Hopefully it plays out well.

Edit: I find it crazy that they are going to seamlessly launch the xpac. No server downtime at all

I believe they did the seamless launch for the SC2 expansion as well.

Without a hitch, but I have no idea regarding how many players were playing.

I found several legendaries that increased speed. Together along with some of the barbarian skills I was able to get 300% movement speed under ideal circumstances. Mostly was flying around 200%. Wasn't efficient at all but super fun.

Now going back to playing regular game play tonight will seem awfully slow...

Temporary boosts from procs and things like that can exceed 25%

For skills, Sprint Marathon gives 40% extra for 4 seconds (can be spammed continuously). Frenzy Vanguard 15% extra for 4 seconds after attacking (refreshes after each attack). Wrath of the Berserker increases movement speed by 20% but only lasts 20 seconds with a long cool down.

For my items I have a ring that gives me 60% movement speed after fearing an enemy for 4 seconds (I have a skill that can fear about every 5 seconds). A belt that increases movement speed by 30% after using War Cry for 10 seconds (the belt increases party speed and can go up to 40%). A pair of bracers that gives a "short burst of speed after destroying a wreckable object" and some boots that give me extra speed while hurt.

It's really hard to measure the actual movement speed as it takes up half the screen and I need everything to work together but I've seen sometimes very close to 300% with full life.

The only viable build I could imagine is very fast run throughs with little regards to anything but getting each act done quick and doing chest runs in high torments. The fearing the enemies doesn't really work well if you want to kill the mobs.

Damn too bad WW doesn't match run speed anymore that would be awesome.
