Looks like they’re deploying (?) patch 1.02a with an ETA of 3PM EST.
Posted at 10:58
“We will be performing scheduled maintenance beginning at 11:00 a.m. PDT to launch patch 1.0.2a. We anticipate that maintenance will conclude at approximately 12:00 p.m. PDT.”
Scheduled?
“You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”
Damnit! I was just going to say the same thing!
There’s a location in Tera called the Cliffs of Insanity with an npc named Fezzik. I keep meaning to poke around there to see what other references I could find.
Oh it was scheduled, 120 seconds after blue posted that message. I didn’t see any patch notes for the patch, besides the patch notes forthcoming post. Very interesting. *rubs chin

Estimate moved back to 4PM EST. :(

Which single player game is that? This thread is for Diablo 3, incidentally.
Heh, for me, it just hangs at “updating installer” or whatever. Luckily I have other things that need doing, but really, this is kinda silly. I’m pretty laid back about the whole online thing, and the delays/outages. It’s after all a freakin’ game, and I have other things to do. But I also enjoy my leisure time and it is frustrating to time and again have these sorts of obstacles tossed in the way of demon slaying. I’m assuming (hoping) that in a week or two these sorts of annoyances will trail off significantly. Maybe.

I’m also curious what “single player game” he paid $60 for and is now posting about.
My monk is at 29k hp - 10k dps - 252 resist all and getting slaughtered by most yellows/blues in act 1 inferno. What would be the best stat to improve?
Yeah, my own Wizard has 47k health, 10.5k damage, and with force armor has enough armor to take only 49% damage from enemies her level. AND Blur is equipped for 20% more, AND Prismatic Armor is up getting me into the 280-300 range (48-53% reduction) in all my resistsances, thanks also in part to a nice pair of +Resist ALL and +Vit boots I found last night.
I still die about 10 times to blues and yellows in Act 1. I just can’t kill them fast enough, and they hit so hard even with Crystal Skin up sometimes I die within a hit or two, and that’s WITH all that armor, force armor, and blur up. I’m NOT running Glass Cannon.
WTF.
I know Inferno is supposed to be tweaked balance wise here pretty soon, so I think I’ll hang up my wizards’ hat for now and focus on getting my Barbarian (currently 51 in Act 1 hell) and my Demon Hunter (level 9) up there for some variety.
Patch notes are up, but almost nothing in them. They updated some tooltips to reflect previous hot fixes, and reduced the reward for killing one mob (when you rescue the scoundrel from the thieves) and for replaying a couple of quests (presumably because they were being farmed).
One nice thing is max auction duration has been shortened to 36 hours. I wish they’d let us post stuff for six hours.

Max Auction duration? Is there a way to set how long your auctions are? I only saw initial price and buyout price as options. If I could do 24 hour auctions that would be fine by me.

No, there’s no way to set duration.
I dont’ get annoyed so much by servers being down as I get annoyed that there’s no clear way to know that they’re down in the launcher, and Blizzard’s server status website doesn’t seem to update in real-time either.
Servers are up in Americas, btw.
Which is unfortunate, as in the vast majority of cases items sell either within the first hour, or not at all. If I mispriced an item, which is very easy to do since items have such a wide range of attribute distribution and magnitude, I don’t need it clogging up an auction slot for 2 days.
I think so far I’ve only seen three of my items items that made it past the first 4 hours ever sell, and only one sell that made it into the second day.
I personally don’t even look at items when buying that show less than 1d23h remaining, as I know they’re likely overpriced.
This brings up the question:
I could swear that a week and a half back, I could sort auctions by bid and by time left. Now I can’t. Does anyone else remember being able to do this, or was I just sleep deprived that one time?
If you mispriced it, you have 5 minutes to cancel it.
Sleep deprived.
Mispriced in terms of not hitting a price the market will pay, not in terms of fat fingering it, which I think should be clear enough from the context of the post. The 5 minute thing is a nice touch though, and one of the few things I feel they got right in the interface.
I switched out bash for cleave with the extra damage rune on my Barbarian and holy cow I’m literally ripping through elite mobs in seconds on Act I of Inferno. It’s great! :D
Before I had to pick them off one by one, but I just go in there, activate Beserker, and they’re dead before they can do any serious damage.
I also downed my first elite mob on Act II of Inferno, but I still have some work to do in terms of all resistances. My DPS is also pitifully low at 15K, even with a 1K DPS weapon… So, I guess I need more gear with crit % or crit damage increase…
The enrage timer really bugs me. Look game, I’m not the one who decided to make shielded snake men who spend 90% of their time either bubbled or inside an invincible phase walk, who can 2 shot me if I go toe to toe. That’s already shitty enough to deal with, I don’t need to be punished further for not being able to burn an enemy who’s invincible nearly all the time.
