Something about a 30 year old looking guy with a mustache in a racoon-like costume just doesnt feel right ...

Re:Diablo III

In my experience you need about 55-65% resistance to all elements to pass act 2. And as for act 3, you are going to need close to 80 resistance to all elements. And this still does not include Act 4. Im guessing act 4 needs about 90 % resistance to all elements, since I do not think 100% resistance is actually achievable.

Wow very nice... you should think about starting other characters as well. And you are right the gold does pass over among your different characters as well as any items you put into the chest. And if you want to get some good items I would advise using the staff of herding to open whimshire; I seem to get pretty good rare weapons there and its where i found a 2 legendary weapons. It might be coincidental but I found it useful. In order to get the staff of herding, well lets just say it is a little complicated, its an artifact that opens a secret level in the game and can only be built at the blacksmith by aquiring 5 distinct pieces (in short just youtube it, its complicated to explain). The tricky thing about this is the staff of herding can be upgraded into a nightmare staff and even a hellish staff and lastly an inferno staff, each new level obviously drops better gear. And let me tell you it is really hard in finding all the pieces since they are a random drop and they only appear in a certain place. So its up to you if you want to pursue that quest If not you can wait 3 weeks from now, till when I play and just join me in-game and I'll let you in whimshire.

Ahh yes I feel your pain demon, but here's a tip, if you ever plan on using other characters (which in my case i have done), I would suggest keeping the best armor in your chest so like that you can pass down your unused armor to your other characters. It has helped me a lot. For example my wizard was the first to reach 60 and his main attribute was intelligence so obviously I had a lot of items on intelligence that were extra and also some on the other attributes that didnt really fit the wizard character. And so I saved the most valuable of the items in the chest and passed them on to my barbarian, demon hunter, witch doctor and monk, which has proved very useful in both survival and the gathering of even more powerful items. This might be coincidental, but I feel it is worth sharing, when I play a character that is driven mainly through intelligence, most of the drops seem to be everything else, only few intelligence items drop. The same goes for any other attribute, so by playing different characters, I can mixmatch items so I get the best possible items for my characters. Also if you think hell is hard wait till inferno... each act in hell gets a little harder than the previous for example I think act 2 is about 50% harder than act 1 while act 3 is around 50% harder than act 2 so you get the picture. I wish the same was true for inferno, it seems act 2 is about 200% harder than act 1 and the same goes for act 3. But you'll see when you get there :D Also on infernal is where you may want to start upgrading gems, the best gem drop I have seen thus far is a radiant square which is only half way through the gem levels, meaning in order to upgrade it you must spend a lot of gold.

Re:Diablo III

Demon, you have everything pretty much down, except for the part about reaching level 75. The max level is 60, it got bumped down for some weird reason, that is what makes inferno so hard. Most people reach level 60 around hell level, meaning that at inferno level all you can upgrade is your armor and weapons. Also as a side not for the people just starting out, do not waste gold on the blacksmith or artisan, in neither upgrading jewels nor trying to forge new armor or weapons. This is one of the biggest wastes of money I have encountered. As you progress through the game, better jewels and better armor is dropped making forging items useless. Also try and equip your hero with rare items, they are usually the best items around except for the legendary ones of course which are extremely rare.

However, I couldn't figure out the chat and there was little coordination between the players after you have three or more on.

The chat was quite confusing at first for me as well, in order to chat you must press enter, begin typing your text and then enter again to execute it. As to who you want to talk to is an entirely different matter. For example you can talk to 1 of the other 3 players you are playing with or you can talk to the whole party as a whole or you can talk to general (general implies other people within your category, Im still trying to understand what this means though). In order to switch between these options, there is an icon in the lower left corner that looks like a chat bubble. From this icon you can select exactly who you want to talk to, now if you select a specific player you want to talk to, then the other players will not see the messages you send him, but if you decide to send a message to the party then everyone will see it. I learned these options after hours of struggling in trying to communicate with players among other things of course. Another thing you might find extremely useful is elective mode. It is located in the options menu. Press esc, then options, and enable elective mode. This option lets you use skills from the same category. For example say you want to use 2 offensive abilities... well when this is enabled, now you can. I also learned this when I was already level 60; if I knew about this earlier it would have helped by a long-shot.

Re:Diablo III

BTW demon, each name has its own pound key and 4 specific numbers after the name. So there are many people that go by the name demonslayer, so in order for me to add you, you would have to put DEMONSLAYER#9999 with those numbers being your specific numbers. For example mine is ZEUS#1102, you can add me if you want but I wont reply until a month from now, being in school and all.

Re:Diablo III

I learned about the auction house late in the game as well. It wasn't until I started playing hell difficulty that I started using the auction house; I guess that was my first big mistake. My second was jumping into the game without having a clue of how to play. I was so exited that I didn't read any manual or any tips on how to play, not to mention I have never played diablo or diablo 2 nor world of warcraft, so the whole character in a virtual world was new to me. Third mistake was spending all my gold on upgrading my blacksmith, artisan, and my gems; such a waste of gold. Fourth mistake was choosing my first character as the wizard, and from what I have read, the wizard is the hardest character to play with. So yes I have made many many mistakes but now after a month or two I finally understand how to play :-w

Re:Diablo III

Elite — GMT

Im on inferno of Act 2, it is impossible, blizzard made it ridiculously hard. act 2 is like 3x harder than act 1, any resistances I accumulated over the past difficulty have proved useless in this act. Everything kills me in 1 shot, even the weakest monsters take at least 2 hits to kill me. Furthermore in order to get the required armor for the act would cost a fortune of gold pieces, all the good gear is also extremely expensive in the auction house. If anyone has any advice I would gladly take it.

Re:Request for Dragon to make character skin

Elite — GMT

got to hand it to you, you make some really nice skins. Have you ever thought about retexturing the monsters on this server? Im sure they could use an upgrade. Just an idea of course :)

Re:Yet Another Character Skin: Jragon

Elite — GMT

wow very nice skin...looks much like the skin I always wanted. I wanted an Illidan skin from Warcraft III, not sure if you guys know what he looks like, but the idea is the same except he has horns sticking out of his head and the same type of bat wings; overall very similar. The only main difference is that the Illidan character left footprints of fire everywhere he stepped :D

Re:Summoned monsters mostly useless

Elite — GMT

I didnt get my first pupae until I was level 105 or so. And since I focused on myself first, I had mostly everything I needed at that level. Once I got my 3 brutes around level 170, I focused on retaliation, until I got it to level 8 at around level 210 or so. And then I maxed my adrenaline from 175 to 250. From there you can do what you want... but that was my game-plan .
