Does +1 Trillion Experience/Hour Sound Good to You?

Posted: 23 Jul 2018 06:01 PM PDT

But you're a grown-up with a career, wife and kids? Or maybe you've never heard of this thing you keep hearing about in-game or on Reddit called "rat runs"? Or maybe you've heard of them, but you can't seem to join a group because other communities are filled with members who would rather play solo than play with someone who does less than 3 million sheet DPS, or has less than 75% cooldown reduction.

Do you think it's bullshit? Don't worry, we do too and we are here to help. Starting today, we are introducing "Bat Runs", or rat runs for beginners (or the uninitiated). Simply search for the Bat Runs community in Diablo 3 and request an invite.

I'm going to keep this community private for redditors for the time being. If there's interest, then I'll open it up to the public later on.

There will be a few basic rules for the community:

  1. Plan on playing or gearing any (or all) of the characters in the rat run meta

  2. Don't be a douchebag

  3. Help others

We are going to have folks in the community who will be happy to run through and explain how the setup works, and even run through GRs to help you get the hang of it, or for gear. You'll be zipping through 80s (or higher!) in no time.

Any more questions, feel free to shoot me a PM or whisper in-game.

Hopefully this gains some traction, and we'll have a bunch of folks sitting pretty with 2k paragon by the end of the season.

Looking forward to playing with you!

p.s. Community is currently on NA, but others are welcome to start a respective community for other regions!

p.p.s We welcome both seasonal and non-seasonal players

Damage and Gear oriented guides for newbies

Posted: 23 Jul 2018 07:44 AM PDT

Hi guys, i've written 2 basic guides to help new people with some basic stuff that sometimes remain elusive to them, in particular how to get the items they need for a build and why they lack damage.

I posted them in the Battlenet forum but that one is almost dead so I leave the links here:

Damage guide: https://eu.battle.net/forums/en/d3/topic/17620651950

Gearing guide: https://eu.battle.net/forums/en/d3/topic/17620851979

I hope you find it useful!

How the Battle of Bastions Keep could have felt more like a terrifying demon invasion (with pictures)

Posted: 23 Jul 2018 12:56 PM PDT

My main complain about the Battle of Bastions Keep boils down to the point that it doesn't really feel like a terrifying demon invasion and that the battle doesn't seem to be too desperate and devastating enough, so in this thread I wanna make a few suggestions on how the battle and the immersion in it could have been made (at least slightly) better.

Part 1 – The Keep Walls

The close quarter combat on the constraint corridors on the Keep Walls feels engaging and interesting, however, there are a few things that I think would have improved the battle on the wall:

The Demon Troopers don't look threatening, so I would have replaced the animation of the Demon Troopers with something like this

https://imgur.com/aeKL6D4

https://imgur.com/glKca0J

They still could have the same size as the Demon Troopers, but they would just look much more terrifying.

After that, I would have added an additional monster type, something like a Demon Commander, who is like a stronger version of the Troopers, who has some additional abilities., for example a War Cry that gives the Troopers a short boost to movement speed so they charge at you when they recognize you from afar and a War Cry with a medium duration that increases their damage or attack speed.

These Demon Commanders could for example look something like this:

https://imgur.com/FEssUCU

Part 2 – The Keep Depth

One thing that I would have changed within the dungeon is either to replace the skeletons with actual demons or add more demons in the Keep Depths besides the skeletons, or at least have the lore changed so that the skeletons there are reanimated warriors from Bastions Keep that got revived by some kind of Necromancer like demon type that you also fight in the Keep Depths. After all, this is a demon invasion and not an invasion of the undead, so these changes would make the theme of a demonic invasion more believable.

Now the next idea is what I think is really, really cool: what if the boss you fight here wouldn't be Ghom (Lord of Gluttony), but the Siegebreaker Assault Beast? It would make sense...

The fight probably wouldn't take place in The Larder, but in another area where you would find a medium large breach where some demons are coming through. Then, suddenly as you more towards the demons to fight them, the Siegebreaker Assault Beast bursts through the walls, creating a much larger breach, runs over the demons and squishes them with his giant feet while it bursts through them. Maybe it even could grab one of the lesser demons and then bite of its head, as it was shown in the 2008 gameplay trailer*, just for the sake of awesomeness.

*https://youtu.be/jtotXRiYimg?t=18m3s

I mean, it would just make much more sense to fight the Siegebreaker Assault Beast in the Keep where it bursts through the keeps walls, than at the entrance of the Arreat Creater, don't you think?! The Siege Breaker Assault Beast is also teased on the Keep Walls, where you can spot it fighting on the Battlefields, which impies that it is already nearby:

https://imgur.com/SsaqVGw

Part 3 – The Battlefields and The Fields of Slaughter

The Blood Clan Kazra in the Battlefields and the Fields of Slaughter have the same problem as the Demon Troopers on the Keeps Wall: they don't look threatening and in my opinion, they don't really fit in the scenario, so maybe they could have been replaced with the new version of the Demon Troopers and Commanders that I suggested above or other demons. They also could have added some of the Oppressors from Act 4 who then come down crushing from the sky.

Another issue that I have with the the Battlefields and the Fields of Slaughter is that they feel somewhat empty in regards that there is not much fighting going on. To change that there should be much, much more corpses of demons and human soldiers, which would give you the feeling that there actually is a disastrous battle going on for a while.

You also should frequently see groups of human soldiers fighting with the demons on the battle fields, similar to how it was in the Battle for Harrogath in Diablo 2, just with more human and demon troops. Now, these human troops are primarily there for the sake of immersion, so they probably shouldn't do to much damage, but it would be really cool if this one feature that was teased in the D3 gameplay trailer from 2008 would have been included here, where you simply have to click on a NPC soldier so they follow you and fight with you.

https://youtu.be/Q17FDfU7-ds?t=7m47s

Then you could march in a group of up to 10 or maybe 15 human soldiers on the battlefield and once you clicked on them, they could maybe deal a bit more damage, so they actually have some use during the battle.

Besides that, if in addition to a massive amount of human and demon corpses on the battlefield there also should be some fires on the ground and black smoke in the air that darkens the mood of the area from white and snowy fields to a darker and grimmer one, like in the screenshots/pictures below - this in combination with a large amount of corpses would have created a terrifying atmosphere of devastation and desperation in the snow.

Real Life Example of black smoke on a battlefield (save for work):

https://imgur.com/DOtHsUI

Implementing this black smoke on the snowy battlefields of Act 3 would probably have resulted in an atmosphere that looks a bit more like in this screenshot from a dark shadered version of Torchlight 2 which I recently found:

https://imgur.com/tHVrXJp

Another thing that annoyed me about these two outdoor areas was that there apparently is no organization (in regards to command structure) present on in the attack of the demons on Bastions Keep, aka the lack of leadership or demon generals on the battlefield. It would have been great if in addition to destroying the demons artillery, you also had to slay two or three Demon Generals. These generals could maybe look like the demons in these artworks:

https://imgur.com/nLwA5Z8

https://imgur.com/Z5QAc9u

These Demon Generals would not be act or mini-bosses, but simple super unique monsters and it would contribute a lot to the immersion and urgency of the battle when you had to fight a few of these generals that are coordinating the attack on the keep.

After the Battle for Bastions Keep

Now, how the narrative could have gone on from there, I don't know. Maybe Cydaea could have been the second boss of this act, trying to prevent you from entering the Arreat Crater at the Edge of the Abyss.

Or it could have been anyway else, it does not matter. The main point that I want to get across with this post is how the first half of Act 3 up to this point could have been better.

If this post is well received, I maybe create another thread in the future about how I think Act 1 could have been better, but first tell me what you think of these ideas.

Diablo 1 borderless fullscreen?

Posted: 23 Jul 2018 04:40 PM PDT

I'm trying to get Diablo 1 working on Windows 10. Using Dxwnd I can get the game in windowed mode but the graphics gets weird when I move the cursor. Ussing ddraw.dll the graphics look fine but the game ain't borderless fullscreen anymore.

I know about the HD mod but imo it changes too much about the original game. Anyone have a fix? :)

Guidance On Non-Seasonal Necromancer Gear/Build? (First Character)

Posted: 23 Jul 2018 03:43 PM PDT

Hey everyone,

I'm at a crossroads at the moment in the game. I'm playing adventure mode (non-seasonal) and I am currently going through rifts/bounties and leveling (Paragon level 97 ATM).

I'd love some assistance on gearing up.. I have a ton of Legendaries & Set Items, but no "complete" sets.

The most complete set I have is Rathma's (4 pieces), but I have 2-3 pieces of the other Necro sets at this point.

How should I gear up? I'm using Jesseth's Scythe/Shield with a hodgepodge of set/legendary items at the moment.

Should I just keep choosing "green arrows" and picking better stat gear until i complete an armor set? I'm more than happy to list out the set items or legendaries i have if you'd like.

Any help or advice would be awesome!

PLace to buy Diablo 2 LOD very cheap?

Posted: 23 Jul 2018 11:24 AM PDT

Hey guys.

I just bought Diablo 2 from G2A for a great price.

However, the LoD expansion is just out of my price range thanks to the bullshit payment fee (without that, i would be able to buy it with this prepaid card I got)

Anyone know a place where I could purchase it for cheap?

D2 what ethereal item (with Zod rune) do you think is the most bonkers?

Posted: 23 Jul 2018 07:22 AM PDT

Soo, you got the Zod rune. But don't really care creating a ethereal Breath of the Dying weapon (even though it's super good). Soo what item would you like to put the rune into?

Obviously, you want to put it into a etherial weapon. But which one would be your goal?

No, with my luck. I never got a Zod rune when I played Diablo 2. Soo not asking for that. However, one can dream. I have seen some people on Ladder having crazy weapons or armours thanks for the item being ethereal. Although, what do you personally think are the most crazy ethereal items?

Hi,

I was looking up builds and noticed this one. It doesn't seem to have a spender for Focus and Restraint.

Can you clarify how it works?

My Wizard is unbelievably squishy, help?

Posted: 23 Jul 2018 05:08 AM PDT

Hello, everyone

Firstly, link - https://eu.diablo3.com/en/profile/Nocturno-2990/hero/109026279

I have acquired all the pieces for a Meteor Wizard build, I can do GR70 (did one yesterday) but it all depends on the rift I get... if I get some ranged mobs, like Skeletal Archers, Blood Clan Impalers or such, they kill me with 3 hits and it is getting on my nerves to constantly keep dying. What am I doing wrong? What can I change to withstand damage a little more? Or is the wizard supposed to be a glass cannon?

Thank you for your time and help

Have a great day!

New Player, Have a couple of questions.

Posted: 23 Jul 2018 12:14 AM PDT

Hello guys.

I was able to purchase this game yesterday on the xbox one and oh man i have been having a blast.

Anyways, i have a couple of questions regarding the game.

1 : When leveling is it best to sell all the gear you are not using or scrapping them at a blacksmith?

2 : Can i send gear to another character if i decide to make one?

3: In normal mode is legendary items supposed to drop often? ( Got 4 legendary items and im at level 20 )

4 : What do i do when i finish the story mode?

5 : If i make the game public what will happen to the campaign? (I would like to play with other players some time in the future )

6 : Do i sell legendary items that gets outleveled or can i use them for other purposes later?

Thank you all.
