    Let me say, I didn't think it would make a difference but having 22% run speed vs. 10% is really nice. Let me drop sprint for overpower without feeling too slow.

    Yeah I'm so used to 24% run speed on my WD I'm trying in vain to figure out how to get that on my alts.

    Seems like boots are the only reliable thing with run speed prior to lacunis and even then they cap at 12%.

    So. Slow.

    There are pants with 12% run speed as well which is what I'm wearing with boots. 12% Ice Climbers are expensive so I got 10% ones.

    I'm using cains hot pants for the xp bonus from the set so :(

    EDIT: I wish gems were more versatile; i.e. there were things like run speed gems and such, or that they weren't just a universal stat on everything but weapons/helmets to make it a bit more interesting and less thoughtless.

    J and I both died about the same amount to one particularly assholish group of leaping enemies, but for the most part he was god mode.

    (I think it might be the billions of gold and the extra ~40 paragon levels)

    Yeah, I only freeze MOST things, so he still gets ball hugs from savage beasts when we play.

    So do I, for that matter.

    Did the monster density changes affect Act 3 at all? I'm assuming not, but does anyone know?

  • The Dude With HerpesThe Dude With Herpes Registered User regular
    no idea, but I do like the blue post saying they're considering putting in a toggle for normal - hell to allow players to put in the increased density into those modes too if they want, presumably for faster leveling and less gaping spaces with no encounters.

    I need to get some more machines later, so we can do some MP10 ubers again, BRT freezing everything forever makes it go from impossible task to "loldone". I think we did one set in 10 minutes? If that?
    steam_sig.png
  • fortyforty Registered User regular
    When they first started talking about it, I thought it was going to be a toggle. Once they said it was flagged by MP and only in Inferno I wondered "why so limited?" I guess if it were a separate toggle it could have more public game fragmentation issues, but maybe it could just be always on in public games.

    Is it just me, or did the drop in gold prices really affect selling good/decent (but not godly) items on the gold AH? I can't seem to move anything, and I'm assuming it's because people are buying leet-sauce stuff with their cheaply purchased gold.

    I have been trying to sell stuff every day since I started playing again (last week) and no matter how much I feel like I'm undercutting, all of my auctions expire. I remember having this same problem back at release, too. I think I'm just bad at auction housing.

    Sensible articulation of why removal of AH would make trading problematic, if not nigh-impossible:
    Example D2 Trade: SOJ for Tal Rasha Amulet!

    OK. Easy. I get an amulet I need for a SOJ I don't need. Simple exchange, but to do this trade you had to make a custom game to advertise this, or spam chat, or take it offline to a forum or custom trade web site. The spamming was a minor inconvenience, but was manageable.

    How this trade would be in D3:

    SOJ with:
    * X% Cold Damage
    * 28% Bonus Damage to Elites
    * 12% Damage to Spectral Blades

    For:
    Tal Rasha Amulet with:*
    * XXX Int
    * XXX Vit
    * X IAS
    * X Crit Chance
    * XX Crit Damage*

    How are you going to find someone to do this trade? I will answer that for you: You will never find a trade partner.

    Well, people do spam the channels to try and sell their gear but usually seek gold rather than a specific item. Usually:

    WTS [ITEM] offers.
    How much you want
    50M
    LOL its not worth more than 5M
    Yes it has X stat.
    There is no way it is worth that noob
    You're the noob.

    Me: Will you fuckers please use the AH.
