Clever, this thought never actually came to me. Use the Tues Maintence to your advantage.
Well played.
That's pretty much the only way I can get upgrades... It's gotten to a point where if I see soemthing I like and notice that I won't be able to be online around the time that auction ends, I don't even bother to place a bid anymore.
Sun & Monday is absolutely the best nights to shop for me. I'd look for items I want without buyouts that end during Tuesday. I'd place a small bid just to items into my watchlist and Tue morning before I head out to work, I'd place my max bids right before Bliz maintenance and I'd come home from work with a big smile on my face to my newly acquired loot. It's harder to get item sniped when you can't see the invisible maintenance timer running down. <3 Tue mornings.
Those are the only stats, and yes it is that good. Do you play a DH? It is a fun class to play but VERY VERY VERY dependent upon the weapon dmg for EVERYTHING.
I have a level 60 Barb, WD and Monk as well, they do NOT depend on their weapon dmg as much as the DH. It is an odd statement, but it is true.
I could probably get around 50 million for it. I saw someone sell theirs on the AH the other day because someone told them it wasn't that good, for 30 million in 10 minutes. Someone else replied to the thread and said they would have gladly paid 50 million.
Um... Act 1 inferno can drop all the same items act 3 and 4 inferno can drop.
And bad comment about WoW. Repairs in WoW vs gold obtained is basically just like Diablo 3 before the change. Repairing in WoW is negligible at best. I don't know the last time I actually took time to see the cost of a repair when I was playing
Farming gold is no different then farming items. One is consistant and you can get over 1k per drop once you have 5 stack NV, while the other is roulette and sometimes can make big gold/money from them. Both sucks, but that is what drives a players character. Whether it is farming for xp to level, materials to craft gear, gold to buy gear, the gear itself or whatever. All RPGS have farming involved.
And yes AH prices can suck, but I have found better items for MUCH MUCH cheaper than that by just taking the time and looking / narrowing down my search.
My main is a DH and you can get a lower DPS weapon with crit damage / socket and be better off overall damage wise. I was just commenting the weapon isn't something you'd need 100mil to upgrade. It is very nice, however, can be easily improved.
I did engame raiding in WoW, and my repair bills would hit 200 gold + easy. And for someone who did not have a profession to make money, I had to farm for gold. I had to make alts that mined and herbed just to get gold. Gold in WoW was obtained from doing dailies, which were boring or have a gathering profession. So yeah, I had to farm to get gold for repairs in WoW.
AH prices suck and I have been patient for some things but others will not come down fro what I have seen. Still looking and patiently waiting.

Sounds like you needed a better guild. My guild pays for everything, and we even get a raider payout at the end of a raid tier that is usually (guild_bank_money - 200,000) / raiders. I think I made about 65,000g after Firelands.
Too bad planning ahead actually amounts to looking up cookie cutter builds on the internet.
Good riddance. "Plan ahead" only works if you can reasonably expect what the end game will be like based on what's before it. Didn't work that way in Diablo 2 (LOL WELCOME TO HELL, IMMUNE TO ENTIRE TREES).
Then that was your personal view of it. But from Late vanilla to Mid Cata I raided at the "end game too".
I never farmed gold. I only did daily quests for tokens (to turn into for items), or reputation for (again items).
My character never was close to having issues with repairing and gold cost.
Actually start of cata repair costs hit around 250g for me, but when I was sitting at 10k+ from leveling up to 85 (and gold before cata began) and the fact that I would earn enough gold via bosses to repair and notice no real change to my gold.
Granted when firelands came out I was one of the first to realize shamans could solo kite kill a lot of the trash in Firelands, and doing that for items (that sold on the AH for ridiculous prices) for 2 weeks gold capped me. Then those last 5-6 months I played wow, never again worried about repairs, though I had to ship some gold to another character as I earned more in raids then I lost to repairs. (Gems, enchants and upgrades are another story)
TLR It wasn't hard to earn enough to outmatch repair prices, even if all you did was dungeon/raid.
While we're talking about games not called diablo
Bingo. I did about 30 butcher runs, and after I would do festering woods. With Neph Val. Takes about an hour. I literally found ZERO usable items in this time. What I'm wearing is 100% AH at this point. So what's the use in even playing the game. They might as well have just made this game Diablo 3: Antiques Roadshow. No gameplay, just a competitive bidding video game to see who can buy the sickest items. Honestly, when I have 400 resists on all, 25k hit points, and on Act II Inferno any elite that has vortex can automatically warp me over and kill me in one hit....what's the point? Seriously. If you run into an elite like that, you automatically die; that's not competitive or challenging, it's just retarded. So what am I supposed to do? Farm the same fucking quest (butcher) for the next 3 months hoping to find enough gold to buy something that bumps my resists to 420? Fuck that. The first 3 difficulty levels took me about 4 days to get through. I was looking forward to a challenge on Inferno, but instead it's just cheap one shot deaths and endless farming on butcher runs.
What are you guys thinking of the RMAH? Have you used it?
I sold a bow for 20 bucks and have seen pretty good items for cheap.
Seems like the gold farmers are now spamming 2 dollars for 1m gold.. The items I see in the RMAH (Besides unreasonable 250 dollar people) seems like you get more for your money in the RMAH than the GAH.
Maybe for YOU it can only work that way. For the rest of us who actually have reasoning abilities, there are some reasonable assumptions that you can make based on game play and testing.
While I do like a challenge, I don't think hard automatically = fun. I always felt like D2 was fun; that was one thing it definitely had going for it. Now, for me, I grew tired of D2, but not because of how easy it was, or wasn't, it was because doing the same areas, over and over and over, gets old to me, and it will get old in D3 as well.
Many monsters in D3 have abilities that don't provide a challenge, as in, make the right choice, or maneuver, and you'll overcome the challenge, they instead have abilities that your character just doesn't have abilities capable of countering (or these abilities have a long cool down, which won't necessarily be up when you're surprised by getting trapped, even if you try to conserve these abilities). Abilities like waller, arcane sentry, frozen, and to some extent, molten. Most notably when waller + arcane + frozen, and perhaps jailer too, combine. I'm getting better at dodging the arcane sentry turrets, but how do you get better at avoiding the walls the monster lays down, when you're in a dungeon that already has permanent walls that are incredibly narrow; where do you run? Especially what do you do if you're trapped and an arcane sentry is closing in on you? Or if you're jailed, or frozen?
Those type of abilities aren't fun in any way, imo, and don't even provide a challenge, they just provide frustration, most of the time. Frustration = NOT fun, and not a smart idea to incorporate into a "game".
Yet, another WoW feature that made it into Diablo. Also, a bunch of my deaths are lag related, which is pathetic for the repair costs.

You should not have to run back to previous acts or difficulty levels to recoup losses. Sorry, that is a cop out.
White items are useless and should sell for more gold OR get them out of the game.
you should have a filter option that automatically vendors white items when they are picked up.
Well you got the companion already, just copy Torchlight and let it go sell for you.
With all the grey/white crap I run across, if I were to have a quick sale option that won't stop me from killing - MY GOD I'D BE RICH!
not really. level 50+ vendor trash is still trash and not worth 10-35g each.
I frankly am tired of shit like this. Every single one of you guys who complains because you can't solo inferno pisses me off. It's like you never followed ANY of the developer/Bashiok posts or events. INFERNO WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE SOLO'D! They emphasized coop play.

Are you serious? Soloing is EASIER than partying in this game, if you try to do Inferno with friends it will only get worse
I was reading the Bnet forums and people were commenting on how the online population dropped from 20K on first week to 2K 1 month later, that goes to show what a wonder this game is
Sinking faster than the Titanic

It seems a lot of people find Inferno more difficult in a group than solo.
