I walked into Gamestop at lunchtime with the full intention of picking this up, but I balked at the €60 price tag.

I'll bide my time and wait for a better price.

Gamestop really went crazy with 60eu tag games lately. One game I would not expect to pay 60eu on too. Even extra vision 55eu is a bit steep.

35£ on amazon sounds good. with added vat I guess its around 40eu on amazon?

ye its not a game id be willing to pay €60 for but I plan on taking advantage of the xtra vision trade in deal to get it for €5

Is that deal on this weekend? Or is it on now even?

Magill · 04-09-2013 4:08pm

Its probably worth the full price if you didn't already own it on PC. Otherwise i'd just wait for it to go down in price.

So console version got loot 2.0 already? I have to say, with each day, I want to get Console version more and more.

As for issue of 2.0. What they need to do in PC version: NEW MODE! No AH, just trademarkets where a few people can join in and trade stuff. So those who still got their millions can play away in 2.0 with AH and those who dont want to play with AH can just start fresh on new mode. Problem solved.

I fired up diablo 3 yesterday and oh my god how got it is while you playing. It looks great, animations great, each blow has a great satisfaction of hitting, spells are very varied and fun. It just when you know that the next upgrade will be only from AH it all falls apart. There is a simple solution to fix it. Blizzard, finger out, Its a great fun game, but it needs some common sense injected. And "its ready, when its ready" is not fecking good enough anymore.

How do position spells work ? Like a lot of the wizzard spells (Hydra, blizzard etc). Other than that, i'd imagine it would work quite well with a controller as you only really need 4 buttons for spells.. guessing the back buttons ? and direction which i remember people wanting a gamepad for in the beginning anyway.

It depends on the direction. You can also switch between the targets for precise aiming.

Did they address the lack of legendary drops?

Last time i played (last summer), i had 30+ hours and zero legendarys.

degrassinoel · 05-09-2013 6:23pm

I presume the console version has monster power and paragon levels?

If so, then you should have an increase in legendary drops even at pre-60 levels if you use high monster powers. If they have implemented loot 2.0 onto console already you'll probably see even more.

Yup, they got paragon levels and monster levels. It's just they renamed those and you got only 8 now.

I am honestly tempted to pick this up tomorrow in town. Having no ah and normal trade is just so tempting...

I am going in to town tomorrow so I will see.

degrassinoel · 05-09-2013 9:21pm

heh, paragon lite or mp lite?

or both?

I have found 2 legendary weapons and I have only started Act 2 on normal. (x360 version)

Had some great craic with couch-coop its class

I find the controls better than the mouse and keyboard. The roll function actually helps during the boss battles & larger enemys & the menus work really well with the analogue stick

30+ hours????

I played over 400 hours and never had one drop.
Now, we get average 2-3 per 20 minute run.

Yea. Compare it to D2 where you could get a Set/Unique item 5 mins in to Act 1 or 2 hours in at Act 3.

Truly random goodness.

RoyalMarine · 07-09-2013 12:27pm

And just in case anyone's wondering if anything "good" drops anymore,

The last 10 legendary items I've found this is the outcome

10 Brimstone
9 Brimstone
8 Brimstone
7 Sold for 50m (After tax)
6 Sold for 100m (After tax)
5 Brimstone
4 Brimstone
3 Brimstone
2 Sold for 350m (After tax)
1 Sold for 700m (After tax)

A brimstone is where you salvage the legendary item....

All in all, I made about 1.2 billion gold yesterday.

That's about €30 based on current gold costs.

Magill · 07-09-2013 12:33pm

Pretty sure its impossible to sell gold tho, since its probably a lot cheaper from 3rd party sites right ? At least it used to be before i stopped playing.

RoyalMarine · 07-09-2013 5:37pm

gold sites sell it for 15% cheaper than the auction house due to the tax on selling etc.
but it sells a lot on there.

BeerWolf · 07-09-2013 8:49pm

Aight, got to play it today - and I've got to say, AMAGAD;

Controlling the Monk with a controller on the 360 is just so fluid like compared to the PC, and am really enjoying it!

[ Yet to play a ranged though ]

Wow fair play dude! Still trucking away, still using the barb? Lvl 100 now I presume?

ahhh they increased the stack size, makes sense.

RoyalMarine · 08-09-2013 5:13am

yeah forgot to mention that. stack size went up to 50m etc.

ktulu, yeah still trucking away

got my second barb close to 100 now. Should be finished today/tomorrow if I bother to play.

Might go back and finish my DH to 100 too. Come the expansion, it'll be nice to have a few 100 paragon toons since it's not account wide and no limit on paragon points.

ShadowHearth · 08-09-2013 11:35am

I jumped back in. Still love it

Its just combat so damn satisfying.

I think I will be sticking to my WD for now. Looks like it can dish out some stupid amount of DPS.

Dcully · 08-09-2013 12:28pm

Reinstalled myself too but find it hard to play Barb as i simply never seem to get gear drop.
Fun leveling other characters though, still a great game ruined by the auction house.
Also the maps are not random like Torchlight 2 or POE combat isnt as good as those two either imho, but i love do blizzards art style.

RoyalMarine · 08-09-2013 1:09pm

get that skorn going and run firebats.... you will be amazed. kite the entire fields of misery into one corner, and melt them all

TheGunns · 08-09-2013 1:35pm

Just started up yesterday on Xbox, game feels really good and I'm enjoying it. Not played it on PC though so can't judge the difference but I used to play Diablo esque games on the PC before my one got outdated and it's just as enjoyable.

One thing though is I'm not totally sure how leveling up is working

Just tried out bats and they surely are good, but very situational. Zombie bears do pretty much same thing, but with way higher range and better mana efficacy.

So whats the best way to farm on act 1? So far my ghetto WD can easily handle MP4 act1. Did not tried higher yet. And what Resistances should I am at? at the moment I am at 700-800. Just realistic m8, please, I know your Barb worth billions, your 2000+++ resistance wount help me much lol
