anyone wanna recommend a headset/microphone combo for me that is on the cheaper side but still a good piece of equipment? I will be getting this game over the next few days and will need one to talk with my buddy who i'll be playing it with. Thanks in advance.

Did you ever play in any public games or did you add someone to your list through a known friend that you did not know beforehand?

Add your name to list a-hole.

5/24/2012 7:06:15 PM

Nope. I have only played solo games, other than grimx dropping in to give me some items. All my friends are on the tdub list.

5/24/2012 7:17:38 PM

Are you absolutely sure that you were haxd and that there is no possibilty that it was some very weird and unexplainable glitch with Blizzard's servers?

5/24/2012 7:21:06 PM

My password was changed and I went from 15k to 54 gold. Sent a message to Blizzard and they acted like it was a hack, but like I said, apparenty it happened to a large group of people at around the same time.


I actually got an email alert that my password had been changed, so I feel like it was a hack.

I dont have a smart phone so i orderd the little doohicky

5/24/2012 7:33:03 PM

k, good, just making sure.

5/24/2012 7:40:25 PM

I am gonna set up my authenticator app on my phone tonite fuck this. Fucking nerds man

5/24/2012 7:43:44 PM

Im not playing again until i get my athenticator. Im just happy i was too poor to buy it when it came out and im too sick to play as much as i would have i had no items they wanted to steal, and i think i can make the munnies up quickly.

5/24/2012 7:46:17 PM

Honestly, if my account got hacked I would be pissed as fuck but overall I would care as long as my PayPal account was not comprimised.

5/24/2012 7:51:23 PM

I dont have payment info on file with them, thank goodness

5/24/2012 7:52:26 PM

Its like a fucking conspiracy. I get 5 stacks of NV in inferno and go to a boss and the servers shit themselves.

so basically i'm going to kill izual over and over again whenever i play this weekend and if i don't get it then i am quitting the game

I'm Krallum and I approved this message.

5/24/2012 10:49:39 PM

Downed Inferno Skeleton King tonight on the Barbarian solo

the champion/unique packs are unreal, had to skip or go around some, but with 5 stacks of Valor, the SK dropped 7 blues and 2 yellows

5/24/2012 11:36:00 PM

Is this game worth getting if someone isn't all that interested in grinding for the best gear?

5/24/2012 11:49:17 PM

i wish i had known my graphics card wouldn't run this game for shit before I bought it. Thanks, "canirunit.com".......YOU WERE WRONG

5/24/2012 11:53:20 PM

^^ that is pretty much the whole point of diablo. There is a story, but you can beat the game in a weekend if you don't have anything important to do

I'm Krallum and I approved this message.

5/24/2012 11:59:33 PM

Yeah that's what I was thinking. I enjoyed Torchlight but I didn't enjoy it enough to spend 60 bucks on a similar game.

I liked Diablo 1 well enough but that was when I was in middle school.

5/25/2012 12:02:42 AM

add me to the list: Sysop#1149

stopped playing my wd. switched to barb.

anyone wanna recommend a decent graphics card to me that will allow me to play Diablo 3 on some decent settings but won't break my bank?

this is what i'm looking at right now:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127599&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&PageSize=10&SelectedRating=-1&VideoOnlyMark=False&IsFeedbackTab=true#scrollFullInfo

5/25/2012 10:00:08 AM

I think the 6850 is the best price/performance ratio card on the market right now and it's only a little bit more expensive than the 6770.

On http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html

6770 scores 1749 and costs 114.99
6850 scores 2748 and costs 139.99

I use it and it's great at 1900x1200 max everything. Act 3 can get a little choppy times in a 4 player game.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150515
is down to 119.99 with mail in rebate and free shipping. Not sure about xfx's quality but just an example.

anyone know anything about the GeForce GTX 550 ti? Right now, I need a PCL of 2.0x16. All the 6xxx series radeons are using 2.1's. So its looking like im gonna have to go with the GeForce.

5/25/2012 10:47:44 AM

So you guys that are in Inferno, what kind of stats are you rocking?

I am at tail end of Hell, just have Izual and big D left to do.

ATM I am 60, 42khp and 14k deeps.

Decent resists (everything is 60+)

Are you guys finding success in Inferno or are you having to farm Act IV Hell for a bit before proceeding?

5/25/2012 10:55:30 AM

If you're at 42K hp and 14K dps you'll be fine in Inferno Act 1

I'm at ~30K hp and ~9K dps, and I'm halfway done with Act 1. It's slower going, but it's steady.

+All Resists is a huge stat, very very important. 1 point of All Resists = 10 Armor.

5/25/2012 11:37:23 AM

how does the dps measure up? I know for my class it is totally dependant on what skills/runes i use and fuck if i'm going to make a spreadsheet... I wish there was something like the skill info mods for WoW that told you how much dps dpmana blah blah blah each ability did on average

I'm Krallum and I approved this message.

5/25/2012 12:00:18 PM

i wonder how far into the game i should be stacking magic find

5/25/2012 12:15:40 PM

i think MF is something you should always have some of whether you use it or not. in D2 i'd always have MF gear i'd switch on for boss fights

I'm Krallum and I approved this message.

5/25/2012 12:16:37 PM

I wish there was some form of mod that tells me how much actual DPS I'm doing. The number on the character screen is decent for helping with gear, but I want to know how much I'm doing compared to everyone else. I don't think the DPS numbers are really comparable across classes, though.

Act 1 Inferno I'm listed around 11k with my WD.
Our Wizard is listed as 9k.
Our Monk/Tank is 9k (though near unkillable).
Our DH is 15k (though completely killable).

I just want to know where I stand in terms of living my longer, but doing (theoretically) less damage.

5/25/2012 12:29:28 PM

^^ In D2 since you could alternate load with 'w' I would switch to my MF when the bosss health would get low.

5/25/2012 12:30:15 PM

yup. I wish you could alternate skill rows like D2 also. Even if it means losing a NV stack or whatever (i'm no where near there yet so idk if you lose all stacks or just 1)

I'm Krallum and I approved this message.

5/25/2012 12:52:23 PM

id cant imagine they wont include a skill swap at some point, even if you only have 2 "bars." they could keep the shared cooldowns intact and make it much easier to just swap before a boss rather than sitting for 30 seconds.

i can see the point though, that swapping in a boss fight is dangerous, but whether or not that was their intention isnt clear.

5/25/2012 1:16:47 PM

Even not during boss fights, if i want to change 2 skills it takes so fucking long to go through the menu. I'm only on nightmare but some parts are easy as shit, and then there are parts where i need to have mana regen to spam my right click. Its even worse when people join your game just to sit in town and craft shit for 10 minutes before joining you

I'm Krallum and I approved this message.

5/25/2012 1:17:28 PM

^you should disable quick join so people don't do that. nothing is more annoying that someone joining when I'm in the middle of fighting stuff, and every mob's heath suddenly doubles, yet my other party member is sitting in town staring at his stash.

5/25/2012 2:21:40 PM

If you swap skills, you lose your stacks of Nephalam's Valor. So you can't really swap skills in inferno.

5/25/2012 3:14:57 PM

Unless you and you party synergize in some way, you gain almost nothing by having the extra person there. Unlike D2, extra loot doesn't drop. Well, I guess you can split up certain packs easier?

I've only been joining games with friends because of this. We share loot together, which would never happen in a public game.

On a related topic, has anyone else noticed that a 4 player game seems much much more difficult than a 3 player game? The jump from 1->2->3 seems pretty uniform, but 4 just feels like a much larger jump.

5/25/2012 3:27:48 PM

I thought MF was averaged across the group in a group situation. So wouldn't you losing your stacks fuck it up for other people?

5/25/2012 4:05:46 PM

Frostburn Gauntlets just dropped for me in Act III, and of course the AH is down.

Oh shit, it's back up!!

[Edited on May 25, 2012 at 4:33 PM. Reason : ---]

5/25/2012 4:32:38 PM

Dont know what the fuck Im doing wrong, but I get completely raped by almost everything (especially elites).

Lvl 54 DH with 33k HP, 4k dps, 1200 armor, very low resists. Just started Act II hell and theres just some packs I cannot kill because they literally 1 shot me. The bosses are easier than the damn trash.

I havent messed with resist gear up to this point, do I really need to start looking around for some?

It seems I just dont have any good defense except caltrops and the now nerfed smoke screen. I mean, alot of times with hard hitting elite packs I can just kite them around for like 10 minutes with caltrops + jagged spike dmging them but there some packs that I just cant kill no matter what. I ran into a Invulnerable + mortar + vampire something pack the other day, I couldnt do any dmg to the main guy because the minions would just rape my face and they were immune to caltrops.

And Im not even in Inferno yet which has me a bit worried. I dunno, any thoughts? Suck less? prolly. lol

5/25/2012 11:42:01 PM

I don't know that Demon Hunter well, but I wuold try using a sheild to see what happens. Being able to Block can save your ass a lot of times.

5/25/2012 11:46:08 PM

i know this is stating the obvious but GODDAMN the elite mobs in Hell mode are tough
