Walter: No, Donny. These men are cowards.

Aaah yeah, 204 vit before Killing Magdha on normal.

My damage is pretty low (77) but no matter! I can't die.

Also Magdha was the easiest boss I ever fought in a video game.

I went for the '' don't get hit '' achievement so I just spawned Hydra and ran, never got hit by anything ever, didn't even had to try.

It'll still be good enough on Normal and Nightmare, but I can't imagine it getting much use in Inferno

You beat yourself up with your past. Don't blame yourself, blame the world. Blame God. Blame me.

So huh, if I understand correctly Force Armor works like before unless you get hit by an attack that would OHKO you.

Sounds good enough.

No, if you get hit for say, 150% of your life, it will do 50% of your life in damage

Inferno Butcher down. My friend and I only lost twice before we kicked his ass. I bet Act IV is gonna be a b****, though.

Fresh from my first justified ban. Ever!

We've been playing Act II Inferno, and we really can't handle a mob of 4-5 monsters. Can't even complete the first quest. I wish the AH was open so I could upgrade some stuff. Sand Wasps are even worse here.

Granted, we've only tried for about 5 minutes, but we've already died twice.

So armor affects magic right?

Joyrock you are literally giving up on a company because they are having issues in the first week of a MAJOR title launch.


Games have hit the market a LOT less prepared than diablo 3 and with a LOT more collateral damage done to the customers. And knowing blizzard you can bet that all of these problems will become a fading memory in virtually no time.

He's also giving up because his account got hacked and (I'm assuming) contacting Blizzard for support has not gone well. It's easy to see how you would be upset in those circumstances.

Grr, stuff I put on the AH isn't showing up on the AH.
Tested it by trying to sell a perfect square for 5k and it sat there for hours.

No, I'm not giving up because things have gone wrong.

I'm giving up because Blizzard refuses to acknowledge they made mistakes, and are throwing around blame against innocent players, punishing them by forcing them to use one of their only rollbacks for an in-house issue, and completely denying the issue exists.

When I get hacked from an in game exploit, that's bad enough. I should not then be insulted, punished, and given a half-assed solution(they didn't even do the rollback right - rather than going to where I got compromised(because I stopped playing soon as I found out) they rolled it back several hours - I was just in front of the Butcher nightmare, now I'm back almost to the beginning of act 1.

Fresh from my first justified ban. Ever!

--
Sir Chris

People are saying that there's an ingame exploit from public games where hackers can use the session id or some such to hack the players in the game with them.


Blizzard says they have found no such exploit and everyone being hacked has been hacked in the traditional way. IE, getting keyloged or some such.


Joyrock, do you have an authenticator?

Apparently, there is an exploit that allows people to recreate your session ID through previous games, and lots of people who have been hacked(including myself) have reported seeing some fairly suspicious people in your "recently played" list.

That sounds like a lot of baseless rumour mongering to me though.



Since you didn't respond to the authenticator question, I assume you don't have one. If you even sneeze near a website that has a keylogger on it, with no authenticator that's probably what happened. It has happened to me tons of times in WoW and it's the same thing here.

--

Yup, happened to me once in WoW and I immediately got one. Blizzard games are too high profile to not get one.

Except there was no keylogger. I keep fairly constant scans on my computer, not to mention that up until about a month ago - whenever the open beta was - I had never done anything with Battle.Net on this PC. On top of that, there was no instance of an unusual log on - Blizz is pretty damn good about getting on top of that.

Yeah, Blizzard has a team of in-house hackers that does this kind of stuff to scare people into buying authenticators

Chris how awesome are your items? You went untouched that fight earlier.

Uh, not too, too much really. I have amazing weapons and I used my passive to get some great resists going. Basically when I am in a party I can gear my skills towards being defensive and that is what truly makes me untouchable. Solo play is a bit annoying because I actually have to kill things. When I have others to do most of the work for me I have a 4 second bubble, a blind that works on all of the bosses, and a no cooldown shield of 15% of my health that makes things a joke if there is anyone at all to share damage with me.

Monks are very nice in parties, basically.

None at all! I am not going to step into Inferno solo, period. I just know it would be more of a chore than anything. I am doing farm runs through Hell with MF and other things while Red and others level up. Inferno is something I have no interest in by myself, as you have to have crazy good gear to do it as a Monk.

Yeah, although I feel pretty comfortable doing act 2 with my current setup if I just go for a little less quickness and more durability in my skill setups. Maybe Act III as well for the most part if I drop a little bit of the MF for another of my regular pieces. Act IV I'll save for duo farming.

And yeah Inferno being solo-able is going to get rarer as Blizzard realizes they overpowered some classes a tiny bit too much.

Hmm, I'm not sure if I prefer playing on hardcore or not.

Hardcore is more exciting because there's something to fear but at the same time it's kinda boring because it makes you act overly careful so you progress slowly, also makes you take risks and experiment less with skills and items.

Like I would never go full int glass canon on my wizard because I'd be too scared of dying.

Dammit, by the time I get to Inferno, Wizard will probably be the most underpowered class due to Blizzard's "revolving door" style of game balance.

Should've buffed the class that can't solo Inferno instead.

A difficulty level that's impossible to solo is stupid as hell, Diablo 3 isn't a mmo.

Back when I played WoW, I would always pick the least favored current class when creating a character, under the assumption that by the time I leveled to cap, it'd be the most favored class. It usually worked!
