Official Diablo 4 Thread : Hype train departing

This a 100x over.

So I just beat Belial in Act 2 Inferno and was able to unlock Act 3, but when I joined a friend’s game and chose to go back to Act 3 it wasn’t there anymore. What gives?

Did you actually speak to the caravan guy and go to Bastion’s Keep? If you didn’t, you never fully completed Act II’s last quest and you have to kill Belial again.

Damn i got hacked. All my items and gold are gone. Kinda annoyed but it’s fine as long as I get everything back.

I did. I even went to Act 3 and played for a bit. Never finished the first quest cause it is very long though and I was dying left and right.

^ Did you have an authenticator?

Whats the best way to make cash? I made it up to Kulle in Act 2 inferno. Farmed the Ancient Waypoint for a bit with some simple MF gear but didn’t really get anything that great. Clearing act 1 still every so often for some cash but nothing that drops there is ever that great. Feels like I’m stuck between Act 2 being too hard (I can progress at least) and Act 1 being too easy (Clearing with MF Easily)

No, I didn’t. I had been meaning to set it up but never got to it. I’ve read that it doesn’t make a difference but who knows.

I submitted a ticket at 1:00 and haven’t heard anything. Wish they were a bit faster…

If I could repeat, I would not have chosen the Monk. Anyone else finding the class boring?

Best way to make money is to simply keep playing the game like how gamblers continue to drop coins into slot machines. Eventually you may hit the jackpot, and if not well at least you had some fun during the process, right? Diablo 3 is unlike most other games where its core design and player progression is mostly based on luck, not time spent or skill.

You will not hear anything until probably Tuesday at the very earliest. Then you will get the general reply of makes sure your email and account are secure and blah blah blah. Also buy a damn authenticator, quit being a cheap bastard.

I wish the dev team had expanded upon the “combo system” more, instead of mashing/holding click on a Spirit Generator leading to different animations with slightly different effects. Like if you performed another move after one of the animations of a first move, you’d get a different effect depending on the ability you used. Something similar to the D2 Assassin. That way, the Monk’s offensive abilitues would have a common thread running through it and you’d have to move around within it to be effective. If they truly wanted the Monk to be influenced by FG’s, make it so you have to build meter to perform certain specials (like Rage but designed differently) or a similar mechanic.

Just throwing silly ideas out there.

Andy visage is insane, i didnt expect it to make such a huge impact, lol. im at 124k dps now w/sharpshooter. i think im ready to take on the rest of act 3 now.

Act 1 inferno resplendent chest runs if you’re short on time, or act 1 warden/butcher 5 stack NV runs. Drops may not be amazing but with a little research you’d be surprised which items fetch what prices. MF really sucks compared to NV because of the hidden slot openings for bosses it creates.

Might be faster to just redo it.

My friend is finding the monk more fun than his demon hunter. Monk is the best tank out there and is much easier to gear than a barbarian.

My main problem is that I managed to make a bunch of cash on the AH early, but I can’t get anybody to buy shit anymore from my act 1 drops, even at rock bottom prices

I actually do the warden/butcher 5 stack runs with about 140 Magic Find for the whole run, getting lots of drops but nothing seems good

Anybody have a handle on what fetches the best? +Attack speed, crit damage/% gear? I thought that +Main Stat/+Vit gear would be in high demand, but that shit never sells

Monk is fun, before the game gets hard. And what people are saying, it’s the worst class at higher levels (great as a support class, whatever that means…). And they nerfed the Monk already, wtf.

Monk is fun if you don’t want to kill anything on your own.

AH also sucks because it is so quick and easy to hit 60 that gear at any level below that tier is essentially worthless. And since that is where all the value is, unless you have some amazing shit then what you made probably won’t sell at all.

All resist has a higher value than vit in later difficulties, so that’s a stat to look out for. Health/Gold pickup radius and Thorns are booty, so those don’t sell for much (unless you luck out with godly other stats). Besides the increased attack speed and crit damage, also lookout for specific class boosts such as extra damage on skills and reduced resource cost. In terms of individual pieces, movement speed is always good on boots. Sockets are highly desirable on helmets, especially with natural magic find/gold find before gems. Sockets in general are a boost in cost for the customization it provides.

On-hit skills are also good, but I recommend having at least 4% for it to matter. Bleed can get higher, but it’s not as good as an effect since it’s damage over time instead of crowd control.

Here’s a good plot summary of Diablo III for those that have finished it. Copy pasta’d from B.net thread that got deleted. Shit is hilarious.

some things I dislike about the AH:

  1. you can search for bracers with sockets
  2. you can’t search for quivers with attack speed
  3. gear from 51-59 doesnt really sell, because everybody just gets rushed to 60, and saves their money for 60 gear.
  4. lower level gear fluctuates. One day its like 20-30k for a level 30-40 weapon, next day its 100k again.

so, is it ok to trade rubies, emeralds, and topaz, evenly? Is there a gem tier list or anything? Whats the general prices for the gems?

and can anybody here craft above star gems yet?
