Diablo 3Follow

The only D3 thread I could find on the first three pages was related to the RMAH closing, so I figured I make a new one.

Anyone enjoying the 2.1 patch here? I must say, I have a blast.
I'm leveling a new season character (very fresh, level 11 or so) but mainly doing Rifts in Torment I for the chance at Rift Trial Keys on my main. Did two Greater Rift runs so far but did not progress beyond difficulty 11 since I play Hardcore and don't want to lose my only Torment-ready character. Have 6 or 7 of the new legendary gems (including the one from the Vault of Greed) and among them there are a few which I really want to use. Leveling them all up will take some time though.

The new tileset, Cesspools, also is nice.

Immediate goals are to get my two other 70s geared up for Torment and to upgrade those new legendary gems. Maybe the seasons will have to wait a bit longer nefore I can really commit.

My main is a Monk, too. Before 2.1 Torment I Rifts were pretty intimidating and I did them only a few times. Now I think I could go up to at least Torment II. Haven't tried it yet, though. Too frightened.

Picked it up yesterday and I've really been enjoying it. Is there a Zam guild of sorts?

I'm waiting for a sale to purchase Reaper of Souls. But Blizzard sales are few and far in between. Maybe when they release the Ultimate edition for the next Gens they'll do a sale?

I started playing my monk again last night.

Very different now. 30 minutes of just ******** around and I find rates that are 3x betting than the old good stuff I farmed the AH for. Went from like 1600 does to almost 4000 or 5000. Not sure exactly cause it was late last night. I had two swords with gems and found two new fist weapons with huge dex boosts and like 2-2.5x higher base damage.

Not even sure where I am at. I beat the game in normal before I left and think I'm in normal act II just ******** around. Looks like rares drop all the time now from special monsters. And ones I can actually use.

Spoonless #1122 here if anyone wants to add me. I've sunken deeper into Dark Souls 2 right now, but I go back to D3 every once in a while. I love the Crusader.

Anyone playing Hardcore mode on EU realms?

I too am mildly tempted to play some more D3. I wish it had native controller support for the PC version though. I had a monk and a demon hunter both in Inferno when I quit.

All the clicking and WASDing are hard on my hands though. I might do it anyway for some variety to see the new loot system.

Almost lost my Monk this night. Was pushing my limits in Greater Rifts and when I reached difficulty 13 I had two nasty packs at once. For nearly three minutes I was certain that this was it and mentally preparing for starting a new character. But my defensives plus my Templars healing kept me up somehow.

Did not push any further after that. But have my next GRift Key ready to go.
Since I have all 14 of the legendary gems now it's time to upgrade them a bit.

I'm in the same boat, my Scottish heritage won't let me pay full price for this "expansion".

I'm pretty sure the box adds the game to your account, so you can forever download it from there if you want to. Because it still uses the launcher.

Actually, I'm pretty sure the box is just a useless waste of space, because you're going to use the launcher. Always on DRM and such.

You can also roll/dodge/whatever, which is nice.

PS4 vs. PC is a hard choice, I imagine. On the one hand, better control interface on the PS4, and dodging.

On the other hand, PC has 2.1.

They have said they are not going to. Artistic design choice preferences for the two systems etc.

I think it's to con me out of buying another copy for the console.
