I don’t think it is a good game, certainly not a great one. I have hundreds of hours spent with it but its just killing time. I said it up thread but to me this is candy crush for a different demographic. Mindless gaming, a way to pass the time doing something just slightly more enjoyable than my other recreational hobbies of choice. I find it mixes very well with alcohol. I could not stomach the post 70 grind without hooch.

Go away.

I saw your invite is outstanding. I will remove it and you can try again, looks like if the clan is full and invites come in it gets screwed up.

3624

Thank you, I will re-submit when I get home.

As mentioned in the bargain thread, D3 and RoS are both on sale for 50% off through 10/6.

Rainbow goblins = awesome

3628

I like unicorns and teddy bears

3629

They sure do suck when though in grifts.

I find the Whimsydale stuff tedious. The loot isn’t any different and the art style wears thin after a while. First time, yeah, it’s cool.

3631

Yeah, I can’t imagine I’d want to do it more than once but it was an unexpected turn of events. I’m glad I experienced it.

3632

I thought there was some unique loot there, but I could be wrong.

3633

Could well be. I’ve just never seen it! But I would be happy if there was, sure.

3634

I got 4 legendaries thee first time I was sucked into one, but nothing unique. The next 2 times I went into them I got nothing. It just wasted a lot of my time.

3635

There’s a hamburger weapon, and a rainbow sword!

So I’ve been thinking about how the game changes as you play through it. It’s really crazy how many layers there are to the onion now, even without playing alts or switching between hc and sc. There’s at least two different ways in which it’s evolving as you play: your view of the content, and your view of progression.

Your view of the content goes from looking at the next task or game area in the early game to looking at the next plot point or boss until you finish the story. Then you start looking for the best XP loop (either fastest, easiest, most fun, w/e) until you hit 70. Then you start exploring all the end game content like infernal machine, whimsyshire, bounties/caches, and rifts. Then you start to see it as a series of difficulty levels you should progress up. Then you starting looking for that next Keystone of Trials to drop. Then you start to care about your best grift run.

For progression, you go from looking for something to fill that next item or skill slot early on to looking to upgrade the existing items and skills as you gain levels. As you near 70, you become more focused on figuring out a cool build to use and finding items that will complement each other. Past 70 you begin to look at your sheet DPS and toughness and try to get those numbers up with rerolls, crafting, Kadala and gems. Once they’ve hit a level where you need legendaries to improve them, you start to look at carving out your specific build by finding the appropriate unique/set items and legendary gems. Then you start to look at your true kill rate and survivability (after factoring in all the +% skill, +% element, +% elite, CDR, RCR, etc), tweaking your build at the edges and upgrading your gems / getting re-rolls on your items from Kadala.

Are other people finding it this way? Did I leave out stages you guys have gone through? Just when I think I’m done with progression and the game will just be a grind, a new layer opens up and I see this new avenue of progress.

For most of the way I was playing the campaign on Master, but the last boss in the expansion was too much for me and I had to drop it down to expert. On expert he was pretty easy with my 64 level Barbarian.

So now I unlocked adventure mode. Can anyone give me a brief explanation on what I do now? With 121 pages to this thread I really hope not to have to go looking page by page. Thanks!
Edit: I only really do single player.

Run act1 bounties until you get a ring of royal grandeur, then take the rift keys you earned and do rifts on the hardest difficulty you can easily clear. Take the trial keys and do the lowest level greater rifts possible, finishing each one with <4m30s remaining to get all the legendary gems, socket 3 of them, then go back to non-greater rifts to get gear to handle harder difficulty rifts.

3639

I just started an Adventure mode game on Torment 1 difficulty. It started me in Act II and I don’t see anywhere to pick Act I. Any ideas?

Edit: Never mind. Open Map and press ‘-’ button to zoom out to see entire world map. Then select your act of choice.

To make it even easier you can use the RMB to zoom out ;).
