I tried powerleveling Mily in Act 1 Torment 6 -- and she was getting scaled down XP.

 

What method still works?

Im guessing the high level torment rushing was hotfixed then . My grandmother died the day 2.0 came out and at that point in time people were getting level 60s in 5 mins and such, i havent paid much attention to the hot fixes since then.

Oh they added "guilds" of some sort?

 

Is there a convenient link to get up to speed on what's new?

 

Did they essentially make the new loot so powerful that it just gradually replaces all of the previous itemization?

 

Nice that the new game director is making a strong initial impression on you guys.

Loot is way better. Things drop that you can use so it is now entirely possible to live off the land. No more WD off hands with Strength. Legendaries arent just better stats but they have fun and useful secondary affects. You see less yellows and over all the quality of loot is better. They got the loot in the game closer to what diablo 2 was about and not what jay wilsons vision of loot was.,

Nephalm Valor is gone. You are free to kill a few packs and go to lunch or you can just make straight boss runs if you like. You can now switch out skills as will and and try new builds with out being penalized for it.

The paragon system is account wide now. So you can play as many characters as you like. It also now has a skill point system that lets you add points to basic stuff like strength or stuff like run speed and AoE damage or resource cost reduction. Its kinda basic but its pretty much like what diablo 2 had and gives some sense of rewarding progression post 60

There are not longer 3 difficulties to play though. You can now go from 1-60  on 1 play through. You can pick the difficulty you play at now and the harder it is the more bonus XP and MF you have. They replaced monster power with torment levels and in this difficultly you gain access to huge amount of bonus XP, MF, and unique loot only available in torment levels

There are some other minor things like monster density being a little less and gem/blacksmithing not costing billions of gold to make things.

Over all they knocked it out of the park and i feel confident that i made the right choice to pre order.

Nice.

So far 2.0 has been great, but they killed my barb rip pre 2.0 WW.

also the new paragon system is in todays patch.

I pre-bought it. So we can be friends! I have never had a friend before! This is so exciting?!?!?!?!

Something i missed deeply and didnt realize until i starting trading UNID rare was the player interaction and bartering. I really glad to see there is a chance for this to come back.

My jaw dropped when i saw the headline on kotaku. With the Ah being gone, loot 2.0 and the general scrubbing of anything jay wilson i am getting very excited about Reaper of Souls. Super Pumped now!

Whoever is in charge of the cinematic needs to be in charge of blizzard. That department has NEVER put out a bad product

They have a pretty good chance to turn it around with this expansion, they got the ship back on coarse after they jettisoned Jay "deadwieght" wilson.

Something that does bother me though is the fact that the "new features" they are adding into the game consist of stuff they have talked about adding in through updates in blue posts and community addresses. Not that i am outraged but its kinda lame at the same time.

I should be a ghost...

edit: I am a ghost! You guys are quick!

we will be ghosts together!

I have farmed up 10 infernal machines, i would like to do this on MP 10 so we can get a guaranteed drop on the organs. If anyone is interested i would like to set up a time on a Sunday evening or something.

I'm interested to see how SoE handles itself in the new/next generation of MMOs, they got a thorough thrashing in the last gen. A lot of stuff they talk about with EQ next has alot of community and player in involvement.

I was a little pit off by this, but apparently at monster power 10 the keys are a garunteed drops. What a relief that is!!!

I am currently installing to take a look see.

I have never played starcraft....now i want to play starcraft.

I don't think he was the right guy for the job. So I wonder where diablo 3 will go now?I wonder if he's being moved to project Titan? Or maybe something else ?

All these questions

Free 2 play sweetens the pot.

So what's the verdict? Play day 1 or sit it out and see?

Since i started this thread i think i should be given a beta invite *foot stomp* *Pout*

I think it was a mix of these were in the pipe but werent ready and omg the riot is about the breach the lobby.

Those are awesome changes. They stumbled out of the gate but they are slowly picking up steam.

I want a beta

Mass riots and suicides.

About level 92ish in diablo 2 it became a giant wall to grind through. That doesnt look to bad.
