I'm going to be so sad when I get back home and find my dps below 100k

 

[Anubis]

so with the MF change on chests, Pony runs are basically pointless

 

[Fallengod]

i'm guessing you had no gold saved up ?

I have 11 million gold, thats not the point.

 

[Adrenaline]

Nether tentacle was nerfed. Supposedly, it not supposed to hit twice that is a bug and so Blizzard changed it. I do not ever recall hearing about this as a bug, but they have raped the DH as a class today.

 

[PhatoseAlpha]

question on the ias nerf, are they changing the ias number on previously dropped items or just changed the ias damage formula?

Changing the IAS number on previously dropped items.

 

[Yreka]

You guys posting how Inferno is easier/harder now, can you please specify what class you are playing ?

 

[Adrenaline]

The increase cost for repairs never made sense to me. Sounds like something to hinder the farmers that will also affect the regular players.

It won't hinder gold farmers, they are going to rake it in now.

Looks like I'm going back to lightning rune..

yep. i'm staying tuned to see what our new go-to skill will be. perhaps screaming skull, maybe ball lightning

i think it would hit Belial 3 times and possibily asmodan as well, if you had a large slow moving mob it would hit 2x on just about everything

most will prob go to ball lightning as it does silly damage to large groups of mobs

Easier for packs, Azmodan took longer to kill.

oh forgot about skull, will give that one another look too.


Funny, pre-inferno my 1-4 was mostly gimmicky happy offensive crap, grenades, turrets, etc..

Inferno build = attacks are limited to RC LC and 1-4 are GTFO skills

 

[Nashemon]

Repair costs have been increased for item levels between 53 and 63

Do you think this will drive up the cost of the best level 52 gear?

 

[PhatoseAlpha]

No. If repair is actually that much of a concern for you, you're infinitely better off with indestructible level 60+ gear then 52.

 

[Nashemon]

No. If repair is actually that much of a concern for you, you're infinitely better off with indestructible level 60+ gear then 52.

Ah yes, I forgot about indestructables.

 

[Yreka]

Heres an idea of the repair costs now.

All of my items are currently at around 25/48 give or take.

It costs 17,997 gold to repair all this gear atm, at half damaged.... So much for making gold while questing and running around? Looks like all gold found will be going towards repairs now. How are we supposed to make gold? I guess hope you find good items that sell on AH?

That is just retarded..

I read somewhere, maybe the reddit Q&A they were not happy with people "zerging" elites, so they wanted to raise the cost of repairs to limit this behavior.

I wonder if part is to try and help the "every stat worthwhile" vision too.. Ignore Durability Loss was pretty friggen worthless before the patch

 

[Batmeat]

Does anyone know what this refers to? I've never heard of this bug. Seems reminiscent of the stories from some players saying that they were hacked but only items they recently touched or moved that play session were missing.

I'm assuming this is it....
I would be in games with groups, we'd kill a pack of elites, and the last one killed would drop the magic or rare items. We'd all run over to where the loot is and pick it up. Sometimes extra loot appeared on my screen and other members screens as there was a scramble to quickly snag it. I assume the the inventory of the group member it belonged to was full so they couldn't pick it up.

 

[Batmeat]

Item stats won't change, it's a global nerf.

 

[bonkers325]

Would have preferred them putting strong guards at the bridge or giving players an invulnerable buff in town rather than using portals.



Magic find now useless for chest, wonder what this effect comes out to.


No more items, minimal gold from objects, glad I've got the achievements already cause won't be wasting time on those anymore.


You can pause?

So much for inferno getting easier.

find 3 friends, each one making a game. one person finds a chest, everyone joins that game and puts on maxed mf gear. pop the chest, get tons of loot, repeat.

same thing with goblins.

 

[Fallengod]

Yup.

 

[darkewaffle]

For all the worrying over inflation I'd almost think people would be glad to see higher repair costs and sweeping changes to 'passive' farm locations lol. More gold going out and less gold coming in.

Personally I'm in favor. You need some kind of persistent money sink imo.

 

[railven]

Got home, logged on, wasn't expecting patch so soon, went to repair (since I forgot to last night) and it was 25K Gold? WTF!?

Now, someone tell me if I'm just wrong on this, but when should an item COST MORE TO REPAIR than it would sell to a vendor?

That doesn't even make any sense. If I sold my gear to the vendor, I'd get perhaps 4-5K back, perhaps. This gear was at about half way durability.

This makes no freaking sense.

Then sell it?

 

[PhatoseAlpha]

Well, if you actually want to apply that kind of sense to a gameplay mechanic:

You're the local equipment vendor. There are hundreds of thousands of functionally immortal adventurers, killing an infinite horde of demons, operating in your area. They're constantly asking you to fix their equipment and buy their stuff.

They never, ever buy any of the equipment you're selling.

The stuff they want you to buy is always, 100% of the time useless junk that none of them would ever use in a million years - if someone would use it, they'd take it to the Auction House instead.

So now you've got friggin' mountains of useless garbage, and thousands of adventures demanding you fix their broken stuff.

You'd probably charge an arm and a leg for your repairs while paying as little as possible for their garbage too. In fact, you'd probably tell them to get stuffed and refuse to buy any more worthless baubles, and then charge them an arm and a leg for repairs.

According to others that means you aren't playing well enough.
