i definitively need to find one then and give it a try


running out of sockets though :)


Those gems that change the sockets for an item are great. You have to have at least 2 sockets on every item to even come close to having enough.

wow ...

found my first unique at level 31. I'm already committed to axes though.

The passive skill tree in this game is tits. I'm going to stick with this and skip Diablo III.

any benefit to playing a group?


share XP(faster)
share rarity%?

Good for them.

Of course. The rewards are better, but it also makes it a little more difficult.

cool ... if you ever want to do some runs, just holler.

I have a lvl 39 zoomancer witch that kills stuff pretty quick.


actually started like 6 characters at variously levels ... working on a lvl 18 Blood Ranger right now.

Another free weekend starts at 7pm tomorrow night and lasts through Sunday. They've patched a lot of stuff and added the final character/class, The Shadow. If you are finding yourself looking for something to do before D3, there are much worse ways to spend a weekend.

game is more difficult now

If you buy the BETA, everything resets before the game comes out, correct?

yes

I believe there are two more resets planned when it goes from closed to open beta(in july??) and when it goes completely live. I'm not sure though.

the last patch that came out made the game significantly harder(in a good way) so they seem to be headed in the right direction.


fyi - when they wipe things they haven't really deleted anything so far. They just move all the existing toons over to the 'legacy league'. All the toons and equipment are still there and you can still play them. They just know that the old toons might not work the same way with the new rule changes so they separate them. IE when DIII nerfed IAS and now those builds don't work right so they would be put in a separate league.

They did move those characters to a different league. It's called the "I won't ****ing play anymore" league. Apparently it's growing rapidly and has a very vocal fanbase.

The only thing that I noticed that I'm not a fan of is the inventory slots. I ****ing HATED that in Diablo 2....you could only carry around 6 or 7 items and then you would have to town portal in to sell them. I actually like how Diablo 3 does it now with each item only taking two slots in your inventory.
