    Quote from Thornagol

    Granted, I haven't had much time for farming, but I still feel like I should be able to hang out in T1 without it taking 7 years to kill a rift guardian.
    Based on your gear I would say no, you should not feel that way. It's not good. Farm lesser difficulties for some decent gear before running head on into Torment.

    Personally, I would roll the cdr because I prefer a more general weapon. That doesn't mean I'm not being shortsighted though and perhaps someone more clever than myself will come along and find some super-awesome-game-breaking cdr build down the road. Of course... that build will likely et nerfed. I don't know, I prefer more choices, and the AS gives me that.

    Quote from tentonaxe

    Just don't let players open chests while in combat similar to how we can't change skills.. problem solved.

    1-2 legionaries per hour from rifts is plenty.
    What "problem" are you referring to exactly? If people want to do mind-numbing CoA runs over and over and over again in a non-competitive game, who cares?

    What does the "?" say? Anyway, you wouldn't want to roll your damage into a socket? You would completely gimp your weapon. You screwed it up already, too late to fix now. Once you enchant an item you can only re-roll the affix you chose first.

    Yeah you're just unlucky. Also, these are not the official forums.

    At the risk of sounding ignorant, can you roll <ability + x> into cch? I've never seen an item that could as they tend to stay in their categories, but I could be wrong on this one.

    So, I agree with you ruk, but what's the solution? I'm not sure I understand what your implementation would look like. Regardless of whether or not sockets are counted as an affix, they will still be mandatory. The result is just a huge buff. I don't like that weapons *must* have a socket to even be considered, but the only solution I see is to tone down emeralds. Of course, that just means a nerf for everyone, which I'm not a huge fan of either.

    Quote from Calzaeth

    It DOES fall on you. That's the entire point of playing a hardcore character! Accept the loss and move on, like the rest of us do. And be glad that Blizzard have the most stable servers I've seen in online gaming, so usually when internet causes a hc death, it is the local connection, and not the server. Obviously not the case today, which is why I don't play on my hc toon :P
    Well... I don't want to revive the tired old "online always" debate, but c'mon; it really sucks to lose a character due to lag. It's just dumb. I agree with you though. Two years in I think we all understand the risks whether we like it or not.

    Quote from Siku

    ...Disintegrate or Arcane Torrent doesnt feel any difference with the exception of burning your arcane power faster without being able to see that it deals more damage.
    But the ticks come faster, so you're doing more damage / second.

    BigEd781 posted a message on Question about gold and new players or players with low/no gold
    Quote from st0rmie
    Quote from BigEd781

    That's a total straw man. The OP never said that "A fresh player isn't supposed to be able to reroll affixes indefinitely or upgrade their gems instantly", he is saying that the cost is prohibitive and, for a new player, it would take an _extremely_ long time to do much of anything. When you're talking about 9m gold to make one gem and bounties that reward ~15k gold that means I have to complete 600 bounties - gold drops to make _one_ gem. That's pretty insane.
    Well, hang on, you also need 81 Marquise gems of the same type to make your one Flawless Royal. Now, sure, maybe getting those will take less time than getting 9m gold. But you're not going to see new players twiddling their thumbs with all the gems they need but not enough gold for a long time, either.
    True, but the same can't be said for enchanting. I think all in all the price / acquisition rate is very high.

    Quote from Verocity

    They didn't design the game for gold to be meaningless. A fresh player isn't supposed to be able to reroll affixes indefinitely or upgrade their gems instantly. You play, get some gold and materials, and decide if you should upgrade a gem or try to reroll an almost perfect legendary. If you stockpiled gold before the AH was disabled, then it's a luxury to be able to do this. It's not broken for those who don't have a lot of gold.



    The costs aren't designed to drain billions from someone's wallet. It's designed for gradual progression.

    I have ~39m from d3v saved up and I'm not spending a dime of it as I am pretty sure Blizz will be evening things out soon. If they just increase gold rewards then I waited for no reason, but if they decrease prices then I will have done well to wait,

    Quote from Thornagol

    When they had the developer Q and A about Smart Loot in 2.0, they said thatmost of the drops would be smart loot but not all of them. You can just ignore that stuff and sell/salvage it for resources. I actually like the fact I get stuff like that because it makes it a really easy decision on if I need to blow it up or not.
    But that doesn't account for 3-6 mighty belts per full bag. That's too many, and that wasn't happening pre RoS and post loot 2.0. I've never found so many mighty belts and quivers. Something is wonky.
