Diablo III

[Myssa Rei]

Yeah, low-level items tend to have a short use window, as many players will quickly overtake the item's level in about a day, at which point they might need it anymore and instead want something of their new level.

Spoiler:

And as an additional challenge, you now need to guess what the elite monster affixes are!

[Xefi]

everyone else can guess the rest. enjoy!

Oh boy. It happen again.

Man Dies After Playing Diablo III for 40 Hours

[Archon_Wing]

I can't even play the game more than 2 hours >.> Sometimes it's a good idea to get up and look away from the monitor.

Also, tried Act 3 Inferno:
1.) Take 5 minutes to kill each elite pack. No thank you extra health and arcane on every fucking pack.
2.) See Heralds of Pestilence and am wowed by them being even more retarded than prepatch act 2 wasps
3.) Get an enrage timer for some jackass shaman with extra health and he keeps running away. Whoa, real smooth guys. They're literally just stalling for the enrage timer. But his friends were dead, so I went back to town and came back to kill him.
4.) Encounter a Arcane (drains almost all my health upon contact), Mortar (drains my health a few seconds after contact), plagued (almost drains my health on contact), and fire chains. Great, I get bombarded by damage from every range I can fight at. Oh wait, I use a monk. Time to punch him for 3.5 seconds and run away
5.) He drops:

Spoiler:

6.) Finally encounter an "easy" pack:

Spoiler:

Naturally they drop shit too.
7.) Get handed a 12k repair bill, despite not dying once.
8.) I have 5 valors, but I can't be fucked anymore. Ragequit.

Only if you link your paypal account. But you get taxed by paypal 15%. So in total to get money out means losing 30% of its written value.

@Kyero Fox: i know that feelings. it's like you finally gotten a LEGENDARY, but then,
it turns out that it SUCK even more than a blue item! but hey, you got a good
deal there. 200k for a trash legendary...not bad at all.

I have 5 bad legendaries sitting in my stash. Back in DII I was a collector who tried to have one of every legendary, but DIII made it impossible. So should I just auction them off?

[halibonga]

i turned my legendaries into Fiery Brimstone and sold em, not sure if it was worth it.
Though i gotta admit, the more i play this game, the more i feel like quitting, it's pretty much confirmed now that blizz ninja nerfed the hell out of drops after patch 1.0.3, i found over 200 ilvl63 items last week and NONE of them were worth putting onto the AH, theres a thread for this ninja nerf on d3 forums as well

that's up to you, Vallen. they're yours. if it was me though, i'll probably just
AH them off. even with AH, there just too many of them trash legendaries
on the market, so i'm sure you're not going to get much of a deal either.

or salvage them and get Fiery Brimstone for later like what halibonga did.

most of the legendaries are just trash for now. we'll just have to wait for
Blizzard to update the legendaries stat later. how long? that's up to Blizzard
themselve. who knows when they'll update...maybe 2 weeks from now, a month,
next year? >_____<

when they update the stat, then those might be worth collecting...me think.
but as of now, they're just going to be sitting there wasting space and i dont have space to waste
on junks.

Diablo III ... a game for the 1%ers:

Some observations are funny AND tragic...

[Archon_Wing]

Bad economic situation in D3 eh where the wealth is concentrated towards the top? This reminds me of this thread I saw yesterday in the battle.net forums that made me laugh: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/6080262792#1

And yes, I've gone back to my old ways and begun messing with the battle.net forums. Incidentally, they were one of my first online forums. :S If you want to defeat stronger trolls, those forums are a good way of collecting exp.

[TheForsaken]

The wealth is concentrated towards the top? Isn't that what economy always is?

And I don't understand why people say that Blizzard forces players to pay money to progress.
I think the only ones buying in RMAH are the ones who have too little time to grind for items or gold.
Everyone I know is either not using it or using it to MAKE money.

[Newprimus]

I curbstomped Inferno act 1 with my witch doctor with under 100k in total gold for gear.

Act 2 however, the difficulty jump is pretty freakin steep. I can still stomp ordinary white mobs, but those damn lacuni warrior and wasp elites are something else.

It's a common experience. Don't worry, after you get the hang of Act 2, you'll experience yet ANOTHER wall to bang your head against in Act 3.

To some degree yes, but it's worse in d3 due to the massive amounts of exploits that were put in the beginning and the increased repair costs hampering people that couldn't get into act 2 pre-patch.

The only reason why it was so easy to buy stuff to clear inferno so fast is that people used the exploit to get into act 3/4 and sell the stuff onto the AH. And let's not forget about the bots.

[TheForsaken]

But your point is? If things get easier, why complain?
Why should I care if there are some dudes having billions of gold?

My point was that loads of people farming inferno, especially pre-patch wasn't supposed to be as fast as it did happen. Even Blizzard said that it was faster than anticipated, and rightfully so.

I'm not sure how things being easier has anything to do with anything, so obviously that has nothing to do with my point.

On another level, they can flood the market with items, causing gold to become increasingly more and more worthless causing a greater seperation between people that have things and people that don't. The biggest example is people who weren't set up for farming inferno adequately before the repair patch. Which is already happening at an accelerated rate due to the failures of gold sinks that have been put in.

And you should care, because cheating is bad and devalues any gains made by people that didn't cheat. The final result can be seen in its predecessor Diablo 2, where the entire economy is based on counterfeit goods, and there are more duped/botted items than legit ones, and naturally practically everything is worthless except the godliest of godliest items. However, in D2, you could beat the game with any gear almost, and thus you didn't have to care about buying items. In D3, even people that play by themselves need to care because the entire game is online, and they will most likely need to use at least the GAH to finish the game.
