A buddy and myself just finished act one before the servers went down. If I log back in tomorrow after work and see we're not in Act 2, I will ... eh, probably not be too bummed.

Cakewalk with EEP! moments. Loved it, though.

I'm really enjoying it on the whole. It reminds me of my experience playing Diablo as an impressionable 12 year-old in many ways, which is great. I'm less fond of the aspects that remind me of WoW--or, rather, what I assume WoW is like, since I've never touched the game--and I don't much like the skill distribution mechanism, which is embarrassingly opaque to me (can you plug more skill points into a skill? If so, how?). I also miss the creative use of stash/inventory-space in the first two games. But I'm happy to say that the game is a lot better than I dreaded it might be, at least so far (I'm nearly done Act I).

When I finally got the taunt rune on threatening shout, things started going a lot more smoothly for my group. Leap with draw in, Ground stomp with Draw in and taunt shout all keep the mobs rather closely knit so the group can pew away. Not quite what I imagined I'd end up doing with a barb, but I don't mind it.

Struggling at the end of A1 NM. My damage is kind of pitiful, but my witch doctor (level 38) isn't dying much, at least (thanks in large part to that passive skill that revives you). I'm wearing a full Cain's set because I haven't been able to craft anything better yet. Can't wait 'til I start finding better gear.My attempts to sell stuff at the auction house are pretty dismal failures. Maybe I should try underselling. __________________ "I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. I do not think they will sing to me." -T.S. EliotRIP Ari Legacy UGB River Rock primer.

What's your handle on Diablo 3 ? I could add you up! I usually scout around the prices, and set something slightly below (or below). That's my way of selling quickly. I'm doing some runs here and there and am lucky enough to grab a bunch of decent items. However, because we are limited to 10 items on the auction, I can't sell fast enough (I could lower the prices even more!) On another subject :
I'm looking for more piano songs from games, just to show people around me that there are some very good songs  I finished learning - *Kingdom Hearts - Dearly Beloved (the easy version!) *FFX - To zanarkand *Lost Odyssey - A return indeed Any suggestion? I'm going around youtube, but I'd like some of your suggestions ^^

Alrighty, I just went out and bought D3 tonight in preparation of the long weekend. Would anyone here be up for playing through on normal at this point, or do I have some catch up to do?

If anyone wants to, I do plan to start a 2nd D3 character this weekend (level 55 wizard has hit a rough patch in ac2 hell). my battletag is the same as my motl handle, and my unique ID# is 1307, feel free to add me and lmk who you are from motl.If anyone needs help, I can happily lend a hand with my wizard, be it a boss, gear upgrades, or just general advice. Free tip #1 - Turn on ADVANCED tooltips Free tip #2 - Turn on ELECTIVE mode These will make your play experience much simpler/more enjoyable, I promise. __________________ "He fights you not because you have wronged him, but because you are there."[16:17] <@BrassMan> what do you need new tech for?

Curses. Lost my (normal) Staff of Herding. I could have dropped it, or it might have dropped out automatically when I filled my inventory. Ugh.  I'll gather up the materials again, but won't make it until they patch the colour or the auto-drop or something. It doesn't really seem worth the time to run it in Normal anyway.

you can just town portal back and put it away before actually going into whimsyshire. you do need to switch to a real weapon set anyway. __________________ "He fights you not because you have wronged him, but because you are there."[16:17] <@BrassMan> what do you need new tech for?

btw thror, it did let me select Act 4 after you invited me to your hell game @ lvl 50. Wouldn't let me select anything in between starting the difficulty @ act 1 and the quest you were on @ act 4, but...

If you join someone else's game, it lets you select the quests you finished with them.

Just beat Hell's Skeleton King with my Witch Doctor (52). Rare packs are quite hard. I've got a half-decent skill combination, but the max damage I can do is still just 6.5k after buffs. It's not enough.__________________ "I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. I do not think they will sing to me." -T.S. EliotRIP Ari Legacy UGB River Rock primer. PM comments/questions.

Works fine in solo games up through mid act 2, but from then on the ish really hits the fan. Working on my MF gear now - got a good payout on a 980 dps dagger to start the funding. I really wish I was a demon hunter for that shadow ninja sprint thing. =9

The D3 Auction House has been amazing in helping me level up. I really like that addition to the game. The whole cash AH thing is whatever, I just love that I can get upgrades for super cheap, and keep blasting through.I'm only at level 46 with my Witch Doctor (act 3 nightmare), but I haven't done all that much playing. So far, zombie dogs + Sacrifice is the most hilarious and fun thing ever. Mob goes pop, like the good old days with Corpse Explode. Then I get 1-2 dogs back, and pop those. Good times. The only thing I don't like is I got the primary attack I've been using the whole time at like level 6. I can't get into the rest of them. Same with the right click attack, I think I got to the Firebat that works like bone spear (Dire Bats I think), and I haven't changed it out. None of the other attacks seem to be that good. I sorta have always loved to play a summoner in D2, so naturally went with the zombie plan. What other builds are people using?
