Purging the guild of non-active players sounds great, but I don’t think Blizzard provides guild leadership the tools to do that. We probably would need to restart, but I suspect apathy and inertia will keep that from happening.

3462

You can make an “Officer” rank and give them the ability to boot people if the concern is having one person do all the booting. It doesn’t provide you any way to check when people last played easily, but if you go to the news feed it should have shit based on drops so you could make a rough guess as to who is playing from that. Plus it’s always easy to re-invite people if they get wrongly purged. Probably easier than making a whole new group, unless the current leader is gone and doesn’t have officers/has neutered officers.

3463

Yeah just remove anyone you think may be inactive, then commit to being on for an hour a couple of times to reinvite people.

3464

If they are in your friend list it shows last active period. I have a few over 70 days from QT3 which I suspect could be removed

3465

Ok thanks for the advice.

I did my first co-op with Mr Pinard tonight. Great fun we did act iv and a rift at torment level.

I gained 18 paragon levels and moved my dps on to 343k and got a Stone of Jordan and Occulus Rift ring to drop. Went really well, died twice in total but apart from that was really good fun, makes a massive difference playing coop nicely.

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Reemul-2715/hero/40979477 is now my setup, just need a few more nice drops me thinks

3466

So, who are the officers anyways? Do any of them log on nowadays and feel like doing some maintenance?

3467

Woops that was dumb! Forgot to link build in my last post: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/jpinard-1943/hero/51465534
I have to use up blood shards so am wondering what I should shoot for. I was thinking pants or boots.

Also, yea it was amazing running with Reemul. Was super fantastic and shows how much more boring and slow it is going it alone. It’s great to see someone else’s playstyle as well!

3468

I think Tom Chick and Jason McMaster are the only two with the power, from memory.

3469

I just checked and Telefrog is also on the officer list.

I had played a while early on, never bothered to get a toon to 60 (beating Diablo was enough, and depending on difficulty left you some degree short of 60). Post-expansion, fired up a Crusader on Hard (thanks to suggestions here) and finished Malthiel and ended up at 51. Toyed with Adventure mode a bit, but no rifts. Did some alt stuff, but the having to run all the bounties in an act in the same session + 5 rift stones/fragments to open a rift was just uninteresting to me.

Anyway, for whatever reason I got the itch again (Maybe MH burnout). Fired up the Crusader again, started doing full clear bounties, got a pile of stones and started doing rifts. Which end up (at least on Hard in the 50s) being about 1 level per 4-5 rifts. Zoom. Hit 60, and then shit got bonkers, at least for my narrow experience. Tons more blue/yellow mobs, much better loot, crap blowing up all over. Also, finally got some Death’s Breath, after being c-blocked on crafter upgrades for a billionty years. It feels like a substantially different game from 60+ than from 50-59.

So, question: Does the Act in which you open a rift have any bearing on anything? Difficulty, map you get (seemed like I was seeing act-related maps, but could be coincidence), anything?

Also, I remember there being something about how Malthiel drops something cool but only if you’re level 61 or better. Should I bother going and getting that? Does it require a quest reset, or can I go in Adventure Mode?

I don’t believe so. It just pulls zones from wherever and the difficulty is tied to the overall difficulty level of your game.

It’s the plans for Reaper’s Wraps. I’m pretty sure it’s story mode only.

3472

Yes. Correct. I’ll log in tonight and whittle a few names off the list. Unfortunately, Blizzard doesn’t give you an easy way to burn through these lists.

3473

You need Reaper’s Wraps. Many builds absolutely require them.

Try killing him in adventure mode, it might work.

3474

I did this a while ago, but I had to go into Campaign mode to kill Malthiel to get the plans. Wasn’t hard, just annoying.

3475

I got a drop called the Infernal Machine of Evil, is it worth doing the plans etc still or a long hard slog

3476

If you have a group and you’re playing on t6 it’s reasonably fast. If you’re solo and not on T6 then it’s probably not worth the time it requires.

3477

How are you all handling Inventory when you have multiple characters? Since my characters are all in the building stages and I don’t know what I’m going to need, especially when it comes to “specific damage attack bonsues” on items and trying to balance crit options on armor for multiple characters is challenging. I have 2 mules for loading some excess stuff into but with that big giant lock icon on items it is very hard to sort through stuff quickly since my mules are of course level 1.

For example… I have 10 pairs of gloves for my Crusader since I still don’t have the perfect glove for him and one might be better than the other 9 (and vice versa) if I get a drop that hits the sweet spot for other stats on another spot.

3478

I finally just salvaged everything I wasn’t using for my characters at that time, unless it was a set piece. I used to keep all sorts of stuff, but really, nothing you get before 70 is worth keeping it seems (maybe a few exceptions, dunno) and after that, if it’s good it’s pretty obvious it’s good right then or after a trip to the enchanter. Everything else I salvage.

3479

Ditto. Tend to keep legendaries and set items just because. It’s also always nice to keep a couple of ‘level reduced’ weapons so you can slaughter leveling other toons. Everything else is mostly junk.

That said I would like more space and it continues to annoy me that there is not. While certain affixes are critically important on key bits of gear, it would still be nice to have more space to put ‘what if’ stuff. Particularly with multiple toons. Heck even when I am speed running bounties it does not take long to fill up two tabs just between moments of gear review and runs to the blacksmith.

3480

I admit, I probably salvage some stuff that might–might–be useful, because I can’t be arsed to sort through it all and find a place for it. If there was a way to level-sort or class-sort or any-sort stuff, I might keep a bit more. But really, pretty quickly you get to a point where you know if it’s useful, and usually it’s not, so it gets salvaged.
