I haven't played in a while... the announcement of the patch just makes me want to wait until it comes out.

go ahead and download the ptr. See if that sparks you.

Was well on my way to getting a new solo record, grift boss down to 50%, enough time on the timer to make the kill.......network disconnect. Fun

 

[ChairShot]

was having a tough time with a Grift 50....

today was my day. Cleared one in less than 9 mins, and did a 51 in low 14min! Hooray...

You should be able to do 53 if you can do a 50 in 8 Minutes. I need some 53 keys to play with. I'm still stuck on 52.

Congrats! Looks like I just got bumped from my cozy spot in third place

Not sure when I'll come back to my barb again. Maybe getting bumped will get me back quicker :awe:

 

[Ertaz]

Wait time for a game in PTR is 3 hours and 49s minutes. LOL.

 

[pandemonium]

Wow. That's not a ginormous waste of time...

 

[Tweak155]

Any idea when it's supposed to go live?

 

[Ertaz]

The battlenet forums have folks queuing for > 1 day. That %2000 drop rate is like meth.

 

[ChairShot]

2000% drop rate for gear you wont get to keep.... please explain

Got a 53 key out of it... Scared to try it lol

Did the 50 using Trapped, Taeguk and Pain. Unity + COTA Fury gen.
Failed the 51 ising Trapped, Taeguk and Pain. Unity + COTA Fury gen.
Did the 51 Using Trapped, Taeguk and Pain. Unity + COTA lightning.

I got Stonesinger on the the 50, got Blighter on the first 51 and died every 10-20 seconds (rage quit) Got Bone Warlock on the 2nd 51.

Good job. Getting Stonesinger is the best draw you can get.

But you don't get to keep anything that you find. That is the entire reason that I avoid the PTR.

My best combo so far has been the trapped/taeguk/pe unity + coe, stone singer is the ideal rg. I run the witching hour belt and reapers wraps. I knocked out 3 51s in a row with poison rgs. I did get some nice ancient strong arms to drop, changed my ww to hurricane and got a 52 key from a trial. I think if I can keep my fury up then that will be the ideal combo.

I just wanted to see what it's going to be like. The best Barb is at GR66 now. It looks like most folks are running the Furnace/Unity/Hexing pants in their cubes for barbs.

I am trying hard to stick with my DH. WW Barbarian is just so much easier, tougher, and quicker.

 

[Mir96TA]

Does anybody has played PTR ?
Every time I have tried it gives me silly message of 2-5 hrs waiting time.
I have waited 30 min Que, and wait didn't shrink at all.
What is up with that ?

Stupid question:

After playing since the beginning, I've just noticed that right-clicking on a buff/armor removes it. Any way to disable this "feature"? (I can't think of a good reason why this was even included)

It's funny because sometimes I know I want to do it, but I can't think of why off hand I would right now. It's not that often, ultimately it's probably better disabled... or at least in the options menu somewhere.

Yeah. I was running through a grift with my wizard and occasionally seeing my armor spell vanish. Now I at least know why. But it is quite annoying.

 

[DaTT]

I'll use it to remove all buffs if I want to look at raw sheet dps/toughness/recovery.

 

[woodman1999]

So I am guessing if I want to go on any of these runs with you guys, I am going to have to get myself a headset and mic. Never done any of this online multiplayer stuff before so does anyone have any suggestions on what to get?

As far as I know, there is no voice chat in D3. If you're part of the clan, you should occasionally see people on the "quick join" in the menu. Or send a message to the clan and get an invite.

Ah. For some reason I thought I remember seeing some option in there about ChatSpeak or something like that. Made me think I needed a headset of sorts, but happy to not have to worry about getting one. Hopefully I can get back in the swing of things tonight while the wifey watches Bachelorette (don't judge to harshly, it's one of her few weaknesses).

This sounds like a good idea to organize either a ventrillo or mumble clan setup. I may make that my project this week for those that are interested.

I spent about 2 hours on the PTR last night, got lucky getting back from the weekend at the right time and only had a 30 min wait.

Only played my Wizard on T8 and it was pretty easy (my wizard is pretty geared with ancient SS/full ancient tals/F&R). I wanted to just get the cube and try some stuff out, but just to get all the mats you have to do massive amounts of bounties (I got 4 per full act clear on T8, not sure if this will go down or up with live). It takes 1 of each to extract the ability from a legendary and 5 to add it so 6 in total + 50 forgotten souls (which are very hard to come by early in the game).

They have def made the game feel way more grindy (I know it's a grind game, but the point is to have fun and this system feels anti-fun because nobody likes running these bounties). They did add a nice chest after bosses that drops a lot of legendary/set items, obviously more on the PTR due to the buff, but you can still tell it is supposed to have a higher chance because they drop a ton more than resplendant chests on the PTR.

Overall not sure how I feel, when I played the PTR for the previous season I was way more excited. I'll def play not sure I'll play as much though, especially wizard because the new set is ehhhhhhhhhh.
