@Trombone That was amazing! Reminds me of how good their music was too. I've not heard that in ages!
Finally did some grouping in Diablo last night! Ran into Slayerviper and we went after the butcher. Turns out, I still pretty much suck, but not so bad that its embarassing, if I'm playing with someone patient. LOL!
Looks like after 1.0.3, and the hotfixes that came before it, grouping is definitely more enjoyable than it used to be, and can make the game feel a lot less repetitive.
Also the repair costs have forced me to think about tactics a lot more, and I'm moving away from my death-flop-to-victory strategy that I have accidentally fallen into since entering inferno.
quick question, does playing in group affect the drop rates? cuz last night I was playing in a party and I didn't find anything worth keeping, not eevn for the AH, I salvaged or vendor most of those things... or is it just a RNG coincidense?
I saw that thread, I was eating popcorn while reading it
I can't say anything about loot though, I don't like the math approach to a game, I only check that stuff when I die too often.
I was playing single and loot was as always, then I opened the game and when I got a party it seemed to drop the quality of the loot no so much the amount... meh, bad luck I guess
Group size does not affect loot.
If you feel that loot drops have changed for the worse instead of the better, you should check out the shit storm I sparked. It might be interesting!
Shit Storm indeed. I havn't noticed that group size affecst loot. in fact. my warden/butcher runspost 1.0.3. i seem to get mero loot than before 1.0.3 conincedende? probably yes...
9p.s. can you tell i was drinking with my boss at lunch time)
(P.s. i just typed a 9 instead of open parentheses ( )
(p.p.s you should smell my breath)
It's impressive how you managed to post! congrats!!
I've had really good luck with drops since the patch. Grouped and solo. But that's in terms of quantity of rares and item level. I still enver find anything I would actually use. LOL!
And now for something amazing. Was jsut introduced to this track today and thought I would share. Some of the instrumentation is just subtle and perfect. I'd reccomend headphones isntead of laptop speakers.
I'm loving this! You are right. That section from 1;25 to 1:32 is absolutely beautiful. The opening number was cool too! I'll have to listen to watch more when I get off from work.
Sharing this too, because this was one of the most amazing shows I've ever seen. The stage collapse that killed the drum tech in Canada happened just a week or so after I watched them. Such an amazing show. I think was video was shot jsuta few days after I saw them. Can't remember. Anyway!
Edit, jsut realized this is actually almost teh same angle and distance from the stage that I was. Wild!
Edit2 : I didn't watch this far enough to see if they reposition during tracks in this recording, but during the concert those LCD panels get repositioned into different shapes and do some amazign stuff. And that one section behidn them is a giant curtain type thing laced with LEDs. They run gorgeous color coordinated patterns on that and the LCDs thtough the whole show. It's absolutely stunning.
Just listened to some more of that Chymera on spotify, they have made some really, really nice ambient stuff! If you've only heard that one track you linked, you need to look up their other stuff!! Drowning is a cool track, Curl and Umbrella too. Only heard the original mixes. Now I look forward to diving into all the other ones! They have made a ton of EPs!
Radiohead, one of my favorite bands. Everything in its right place is also one of my favorite tracks of theirs! I like your music taste!!
Everything In It's Right Place was one of my favorite tracks for ages. At the time, I really didn't care for the rest of Kid A. That one song just really got my attention. At this point, I've learned to appreciate a lot of their stuff, but at that time, I was going through a Sarah McLachlan phase, and had a very narrow range of stuff I was listening too. Not sure why Everything In It's Right place made such an impression on me. Really didn't expect to hear it at the show, because it's going pretty far back. They played stuff from their entire career though, and finally pulled it out during the second encore. I was over the moon happy. LOL!
Chymera just seems to be amazing all around. I've been listening to them on Spotify a bit as well. The track I sent is still my fave so far though.
Edit: @SV Yeh, the "Find Content" is somethign I miss a lot too. Seems to work for any thread you posted on before April or so. LOL!
Fricken CenturyLink, moved to new house and had Internet on my old static for a day and then it went belly up. It took tech support 2 days to figure out that my static IP address changed even though I told those clowns it was not my modem. but I'm back, again

Shweeet, just picked that up on iTunes. Nice recommendation.
I can't find a youtube video of it but I love Steve Roach's song Steel and bone on his album World's Edge. You can get the MP3 here though. http://beemp3.com/do...=Steel and Bone
I think this is one of the best songs on Rush's Clockwork Angel's, Halo Effect (the guy that made the video got the title wrong), you just don't get rock like this anymore rich with such transitions.
Damn, I bid on a fist weapon for my Monk: 750DPS, 138DEX, 50VIT, a socked and some other one. The bid began on like 50k and escalated to like 140k last night. I had to go to bed with like 13hours left to bid. So I set my alarm (yes my sleeping pattern is fucked up and I can easily sleep 15 hours). So I log into the game and the AH is offline...BLEH. Now I'm probably not gonna get that item and that sucks...cause all the other 750+ DPS fist weapons went for over 1mil.
My wife needs to find a hobby, she called me at work yesterday all distraught (I might add her voice carries) before I could say anything she starts in "I just saw a man who let his dog shit in our front yard! I'm going to call the HOA and report him... I then interjected her and informed her I was in a staff meeting. In a lower tone she asked "OMG did they hear me?" Looking at a room of my peers all about to bust out laughing I replied, yes everyone here knows a dog just shit in our yard, love you have to go.
@Vegasrage I've been meaning to check out Clockwork Angels. Liking this song so far!
@Rethical I think you are right about Kid A. It's definitely very unique, and I definitely think it was pioneering work. Was actually listening to the first few tracks on the drive to work this morning. Looking back, I can't believe that originally I only liked one song on the entire album. LOL!

Lol! It's also nice to see your meetings to be quite informal (or am I wrong?). I'll probably hate any serious work environments, personally I think it'll bring down my motivation to work and I'll always have to be on my toes about what comes out of my mouth!

It's hard finding a lax place to work at, especially one that pays alright with benefits. If you find something you enjoy stick with it, many people don't have that luxury! I'm on the cusp, fairly relaxed work environment with decent money and great benefits... just no swearing at work

Playing Diablo since 97. I know nothing and having nothing good to say, I be a troll.

That seems to be the general feeling about those things, I personally prefer serious spaces, not uptight, but serious, too informal work environments gives me the feeling of not actually working and me being a natural procrastinator need the seriousness to get in the working mood

This game is definitely getting better. =)

@ Freddy, I've been finding a lot of 59 to 62 items in early act 1, loving the patch so far!
@ Succubus, you were doing fine and it was fun!!!
OMG!!!! Proletaria is alive… there is a post about your whereabouts?

YES!! We have someone else "enthused" about Dolan/Gooby. You should join our club. (tongue in cheek)
I think I've posted these before, but that was some time ago:
I have a fear of living forever.
