Diablo III - New patch 2.1 Coming Aug 26

[Teh_Bandwagoner]

You guys sicken me! I have a lv 57 Wizard. My buddy convinced me that mages are OP in Inferno, but I feel pretty crappy at Hell. Mind you I have pretty crappy gear since this is my first char. I'm just ballin' with my 4100 DPS and 115 Resist...lol. Too poor to buy anything in the AH too.

Recently started trying a WD. Saw some guy solo Hell really easily as a WD, so I thought I'd give it a go.

Best buys are those that you stumble onto (via your particular query) just as they are posted where they are quite underpriced. MANY people are looking for these, even if it is just in order to resell them for a higher amount.

Just to clarify, my definition of a ridiculous price for a legendary is still far lower than the AH average. I find it ridiculous that I can sell a 36 dps legendary fist weapon that is worse than the rare my lvl 30 monk uses for 50k gold within 5 minutes.

I sold one of my yellows for 20k, I think I'm getting an idea of what sells and what doesn't.

I just hate vendoring a yellow.

Might be time to AH upgrade again too, I'm starting to find drops and vendor stuff that's better than what I'm wearing! Though I'm not having problems staying alive (still only on Nightmare).

Good, this is how Diablo should be played, I hate the fact the AH has taken this away from us

[WhiteTiger]

Just beat Normal last night. I liked the story well enough. Had a couple twists and had me wanting to keep playing. Good stuff.

i like the fact that i can progress at a measurable pace, and not waiting for a specific drop to come along so i can upgrade

Cleared the rest of Act I Inferno without issues. Beat Butcher First try as well.

Hit the Act II wall shortly after - White Mobs ripped through me :/

I tried the running for checkpoints and kiting mobs till they ditched me a couple time when I ran into trouble yesterday. Got to the Oasis in Act 2 before I ran into another roadblock. The snake elites on the bridge, can't seem to ditch them and they pretty much teleport onto you, regardless of their affixes, so it is a tough one.

My biggest problem right now is rising cost on items that are upgrades for me seems to be outpacing my earnings, so I need to keep farming Act 1 to hope to luck out and get some needed upgrades, or a big ticket item that sells. Funny enough, I found a bow a couple days ago on the AH that was only 10k, but I thought would be a minor upgrade. Turns out I love the IAS on it, so it is now my main weapon. I can't find an upgrade for it for less than 1 million on the AH.

As a Barb, I love when those snakes use the lightning ring move. It procs revenge, and hurts way less than their melee attack.

Blizzard posted a 1.0.3 patch preview and overall I like the changes that they are making in the preview. Hopefully they work out for the better in the game as I am kind of getting annoyed/bored with a lack of good farming spots and the fact that to do warden/butcher takes well over 30 minutes with a 5 NV buff.

I was looking for about a week for one under 5 mil and finally someone posted one on the Auction House for 4.75 so just insta bought it before someone else could. I bought my other one which was a 150 str, 30 dex, 25 vit for 500k and sold that for 2.5 mil so it kinda worked out haha

this is my favorite part

We’re removing the bonus monster damage per additional player in a coop game. Our design goal is for players who prefer to play solo to be able to play solo, and players who prefer to play in groups to be able to play in a group. We feel the bonus monster damage per additional player is one of the biggest inhibitors to wanting to play with your friends.

In a perfect world, single player and co-op would be absolutely equal, but that’s not attainable when you consider item properties such as “Life on Kill” or skills such as Archon which simply scale better when you are solo. Since the variety and breadth of game mechanics essentially dictate that solo vs. group play will never be 100% equal, our goal is to make them as close as possible but err on the side of coop in cases where we need to make adjustments. The inherent logistical requirements when forming up with other players and attempting to work together effectively warrants some added benefits.

i got my monk to inferno and was progressing through Act I at a steady pace by myself. when i grouped with 2 of my friends though we got our asses handed to us. it was to the point that i'd rather play the game solo simply because it was easier to progress. now though i'll be able to join buddies without worrying about the difficulty scaling to unwinnable levels

Yay for gem crafting price reductions, though they'll probably come too late for me.

I vendored a bunch of my lower gems, too much of my stash was trash gems, stupid AH.

[Rathji]

Glad I didn't wait for the gem upgrades to do my combines to gem upgrades. All my stuff is above Flawless Square. Sure will help in the case that I am running low on Flawless to upgrade though, as I have been saving the Square ones as well.

[Aegypticus]

Any predictions on what drop (and other) changes will do to AH prices? I'm sitting on an enormous stack of gold and I don't want to get burned by something like insane inflation.

I was able to liquidate all of my gems below Square before the commodity auction house was taken down, so now I'm just left with the stacks of Square and Flawless Square I've acquired since then.

Prices should drop. Repair costs will go up, people will spend more in game, and less on the AH.

[Aegypticus]

Making my gold more valuable? I wonder how much I can make by patch day.
