I always play ranged in most of my games since ultima IV (iolo) was my first pick up so I can't say much about op or not other than I have not been exploiting at all and recently spent real money on items so I could do some elite farming of act 3 inferno as the developer intended. I could not afford awesome ias gear so my DH had 1.97 attack speed and has 40k dps without SS I finally started to get some decent drops from act 3 inferno however being old and less responsive I do die about 5 times each elite pack run of about 12-14 packs. Currently each run will cost me about 12k-20k in repairs but I seem to break even I have played almost 200 hours and have never gotten to 1 million gold in my account. I hover around 500k consistently. My fear is that I could actually run out of gold with increased repair costs and resort to buying gold from the farmers and risk account ban. This is a real concern for me since gold is not available on rmah yet. I am in agreement with all changes of the patch except the increased repair cost trust me this may make the game very prohibitive for the casual player/bad player that does not sit on you tube trying to exploit things! (I never even did a single chest run and I actually use my mf gear as part of my build hence the 45k DPS. I just feel like the legit player is going to suffer by this one thing and force me to do nefarious things just to play the game. Unless they make gold avail in the rmah at a very reasonable price like $1 for 1 million. I have read somewhere that the increase in repair costs are 10x-20x if that is accurate i may run out of all my gold after a single attempt at farming! (120k-400k) cost.
Or I will need to spend more money on gear that has the affix for indestructible items. Already spent $250 just to get where I am. In my mind already way too much but I did/do enjoy the game so it was necessary for me to play.
Please comment if any of my thoughts around this topic is off base... Just starting to feel too much like pay to play for the real casual fun loving diablo fan.
It's 4 to 6 times and if you can't farm money as a casual your plain terrible. You can make AT LEAST 100K per hour with no deaths in hell mode stacking 0 mf/gf (using pre inferno gear not even level 60). If you've put in that many hours on one char I don't think your casual.
I guess you are correct I forgot about doing act 1 inferno that nets me about 400k I just hate doing it honestly I totally forgot about that run. And truly since the June 9th patch act 3 gold drops are not even close to what they where average of 50-250 gold with no gold find. And I do not think I am godly but not terrible my first toon hit inferno week one got stuck with belial doing solo play only. I think my biggest problem is I have run almost 99% solo and the table seems lower that way. The times I did run group most people where trying to exploit game mechanics and sticky terrain which is why I stay away from public gaming honestly I prefer a single player mode anyway since real life requires we to pause etc. I do think I am casual in respect to not exploiting things however I do understand your point like I said I enjoy this game much to the chagrin of my wife. Anyway thanks for the reminder and the information of 4x that is not terrible at all. May just require me to include a gold run when I get low. I have had my head wrapped around gearing for act IV that I honestly forgo that you can always run for gold also. .... Sucks getting old...
