ok i got it, seems pretty cool so far

just started my not quite L1 crusader on T6, mob health only about 5.5k. damage is another matter though.

The next expansion more than likely.

It would be sweet if they made another, but I wouldn't get hopes up, and it'll certainly be far far away.

You should be lvl 10 in the blink of an eye on T6 if you has a hellfire + decent paragon. Once you hit 15 enchant a socket on a weapon and drop in a flawless royal ruby.

Do you guys get like a weird stutter sometimes even though your fps is locked at 60? Im thinking it might be my crap router causing internet lag but just wanted to see if anywhere else experiences this.

 

[futurefields]

Also, in like 2 hours of play into ROS and my Wizard's HP have gone from like 30k to 85k LOL

they seem to really be emphasizing HP

 

[pandemonium]

Had some pretty good rift runs over the weekend. Thanks, gents! Appreciate you being patient with my monk going splat every other minute, haha.

 

[Harabec]

Got "Wall of Man" plans and a legendary wand from a rift, just need another Death's Breath thingy to level up the blacksmith.

I also ran into a bugged Cursed Chest. Upon opening it, I got a timer to kill the elite - which turned out to be Rakanoth. He did not spawn but instead the quest was immediately completed and I got the gold\exp.

Late edit: Thought I should add a couple of "my personal blog" things
I'm annoyed with my DH, because she is so unlike my favorite class of D2, the Amazon. I don't like the skills. I don't like to resource system. Same with the WD btw, I wish I could play the Necro instead.

My monk also manages to play the role of a D2 barb with his Whirlwind. I have more than 8 spirit\sec and Tempest Rush can be channeled with nearly a 100% uptime.

So out of all the classes, I only really like my Wizard, Monk and Crusader. I wish the other classes were more interesting for me but it'll have to do for now.

I'd guess Black Friday, personally. Which should be well before the next expansion. (Which I totally expect to see, since they very much set things up for one in the campaign storyline.)

Question: Are there secret rooms or areas? I'm not talking about the rooms blocked off by debris that you just smash and can get into. I'm talking about wall sections that need to be clicked or activated that reveal a room or area that is otherwise not easily revealed. I thought for sure there was one in the beta, but I haven't come across anything I would consider "secret" and I'm in Act II, level 27.

Throwing this out there again since I didn't see a response previously.

Unfortunately it is a hard drive problem. If you're not on an SSD, you'll be annoyed by this for infinity.

Not really. There's side dungeons which are a bit 'rarer' but far as I know they're all pretty plainly visible. I think there may be some which aren't evident on the minimap and you'll have to click the door to activate them or talk to an NPC to open them.

I guess you might consider

to be hidden, but it's pretty well documented at this point.

Target has a b2/1free deal going on now, so if you have a couple other titles you'd want you could get reaper for free

Even with a good 7200rpm HDD?

Wtf is wrong with their engine that you NEED an ssd to avoid stuttering?

 

[lupi]

There may be some minor amount of impact caused by not having a ssd, but I've seen enough banding and related problems last couple of weekends on a rig with an OS and separate game install ssd's to know it's server related issues. Just last weekend after someone joined or left my party, I was unable to see items to the vendor for about a minute for some unknown reason.

HDD speed has nothing to do with it. It's server related. I've got it on and SSD and you still see rubber banding.

 

[DeathReborn]

I've been doing Bounties/Rifts on Master/T1 until yesterday when I dropped to normal for some "speed" runs. In that time I found a lvl 70 Skullcrusher with -29 lvl requirement, Skycutter 2.3k dps, Reapers Wraps, Helm of Rule Plan, Oculus & finally got every last Gem plan I was missing (5 total).

I think I'll probably stick to Normal on my Wizard until I get the last 200k to 1 million dps. Anyone think 500-600k dps, 8mil toughness should suffice for a T1 Crusader Malthael kill?

 

[nurturedhate]

Just want to make sure I'm not alone in this. I know the engine isn't exactly the most optimized but there are times when I drop below 20fps. When I get a couple champ packs, a lot of mobs, throw in a couple wizards and fps just seems to tank and I feel it really shouldn't on my system. System is the one in the sig.

I get it in a few places, like Rakkis Bridge.

Its not rubber banding i see, what happens is for 5-10 seconds at a time the game will run choppy as hell despite showing 60fps on radeonpro fps counter.

If it is when you first load in, that is an HDD issue and just how the game is. If it all the time, it could be a number of things, but likely server lag.

I play on a 6870 and never see that aside from network related things. How is the health of your HDD?

Saw that someone wanted a white limb cleaver, found one.

I have a fairly similar system (same GPU); our main difference is probably the CPU as I have an i7-4770k (no OC), and I haven't picked up on any severe framerate dips. I do notice variations while I'm playing, but nothing severe. I'll have to turn a framerate counter on, so I can get exact values, but I know I've fought huge swarms of mobs at once with a few people (no wizards) in my party.

I think I'll probably stick to Normal on my Wizard until I get the last 200k to 1 million dps. Anyone think 500-600k dps, 8mil toughness should suffice for a T1 Crusader Malthael kill?

Hmm I've mostly been doing Hard and Master, but I've been told that unless you really want to level, it's best to just stick to Normal until you get the gear for Torment as the drop rates don't differ. I only just dinged 70 yesterday, so I'm definitely a bit behind when it comes to gear! I also can't wait for some of the datamined buffs. I was feeling a bit weak in the AoE department compared to my brother's Monk and his friend's Barbarian.

 

[darkewaffle]

Also, does anyone have any link to the 7k soft cap for main stat? I am currently sitting at over 8k, but that is pure coincidence and am wondering what I might drop for it, if there is real data suggesting 7k is fine to stop at.

I double checked this when I went home last night and unless it's not represented in the sheet I can't see any kind of cap at 7k. I've got like 9300 dex and it's still 1 stat : 1 % damage increase in the tooltip at least. The dodge curve was significantly changed from 60 to 70 of course.

 

[lupi]

On my wiz when he was at 200k I did everything on master except meal and the ram segment into the fortress.
