**OFFICIAL** Diablo 3 Thread

I suppose that the patch will go live on the 25th then, after S3 ends, would that be a fair guess? (or have they actually announced the live date by now?) I do hope it'll go live this month though (probably not next week unfortunately).

I'm guessing this week's maintenance puts the patch live.

 

[DaTT]

No, TX is equivelent to live's 45.

I had heard 46, but meh.

People doing TX in PTR should easily be doing PTR grift 50+ now.

I doubt that. I just played TX on the PTR and ran through pretty easy with my speed build....which is only good up to about 44....this was much easier than 44.

Were you able to hit a bandit shrine and kill them all on t10?

You can doubt it all you want, but Torment scales up to 10 the same way it currently scales up to 6 on live.

And grift numbers for everyone will go up when the patch drops.

And the patch is supposed to drop between seasons. That's their stated pattern. There's been plenty of other maintenance Tuesdays without patches.

One would think it would come out between seasons since that's the way they've done it the last 2 times. No official word on it though. Definitely hoping it comes out the 25th.

Got 2 of them....but I was more focused on what the hell happened? Didn't know they existed.

 

[Zenoth]

Hmmm...

Well I just looked on the D3 forums and it looks like 2.3 will only be deployed after Season 3 ends (on the 23rd) as I initially suspected.

Source.

No actual date, however, but a fair guess would be 25th, or perhaps the first week of September (on the 1st).

It will almost certainly be the 25th. After season 3, and before season 4.

I just wonder if I have the deeps to keep up with 8 separate 20 billion health gobs at t10.

 

[4eigner]

Anyone currently running speed grifts? I think if we can get a decent group we can do 2-3 minutes grifts 40-45 or 5-6 minutes grifts 50-55. I have a bunch of 50-55 keys. I can farm a bunch of 40+ keys if people are interested.

 

[PClark99]

I am game for speed grift runs tonight.

 

[lupi]

Do I need to go back and remove season follower gear or will that be sent via mail too?

Your seasonal characters are converted to non season along with their followers. You only need to take the stuff off the followers and put it in your stash before you delete the character, if you plan on deleting the character.

 

[lupi]

OK good. Won't be back in town till weekend so may be close for me to log in before season ends and didn't want to lose that gear.

 

[DaTT]

Getting an Ancient IKBB will be the death of me!

 

[Pantlegz]

Getting an Ancient IKBB will be the death of me!

I've pretty much given up on getting one before 2.3 then I'll just reroll my non ancient IKBB until I get an ancient one. I've spent thousands of shards and hundreds of rifts on my barb and no luck.

 

[lupi]

Seemed like only ancients I'd get are run of the mill legs. Now that anything you cube gets ancient stats, they have even less value.

 

[lupi]

Log into Hots by the 8th to get diablo for free.

 

[Zenoth]

Phew...

Finally reached Level 12 in Heroes of the Storm. I want that D3 portrait and pennant.

I have to say, however, that had it not been for that "Nexus" event (play HotS to get stuff in D3, and vice versa) I wouldn't have played HotS that much. And, now that it's done I think that I still surprise myself into believing that it wasn't bad at all. I'm saying this because "MOBA" style games is just not my cup of tea. But there's something about HotS that managed to keep me going. My interest to play it until I reached the Level 12 goal was probably helped by a combination of good music, fun and good quality voice acting (cheesy, in a good way, but done on purpose), pleasant art style and newcomers-friendly game-play mechanics (learning curve isn't too high, and I had a rather easier-than-expected time in gaining way more victories than I had defeats). I was also very surprised... VERY much so, by the A.I.'s quality.

So it allowed me to learn about (and appreciate) HotS, while now being guaranteed to have that pennant (I mostly did it for the pennant, but I might use the portrait for some time too). I haven't been "excited" for a D3 patch this much since... hmmm... well I can't remember really (might be the first one I'm actually "hyped" for).

 

[DaTT]

Finally got my Ancient IKBB....not great, but better than my non ancient.

 

[digiram]

What's great about IKBB? I've had an ancient one for a while? What's going to be the best build for IK in 2.3?

How much time do we have to get this done?

 

[darkewaffle]

I have no idea how long the HotS promo stuff is running but for what it's worth if you play Heroes with someone that's on your friendlist you get a major XP bonus.

I think I'll be joining in on S4. Skipped the first three and haven't played in quite a bit and my friends have been complaining about it for a while lol. Plus the Cube thingy sounds like it should be pretty neat to play with.

 

[lupi]

The free Diablo is limited. There is also a prebuy for the latest starcraft one (similar to reaper the prepay period should be you insert a product within some amount of time after the game launches). All the others that are based on char/account level in the various games are permanent as far as we know.

 

[sweenish]

I really want the WD mojo (for the transmog), but I don't know how I feel about actually rolling a WD. If I don't go WD, it'll be monk for the new set and the exclusive weapon that complements it.

At least I'll be able to re-roll my DoD in NS after the patch drops. Just not sure I'll ever see a SMK at this rate. Even with the yellow re-roll recipe.
