    There's a lot of small events and journals you'd miss otherwise. I'm doing this as well.

    no i promise I'm not an idiot and I know that

    what I'm saying is that it seems like a lot of time it has zero to do with latency at all

    I am saying this as someone who played literally nonstop from 10 AM yesterday to five am this morning

    I really love how stuff is tracked as far as achievements go

    I mean you're definitely gonna need multiple playthroughs if you wanna collect all the lore stuff, since it seems like not all of it is gonna drop your first time around

    And I am fiiiine with that

    1) Does the blacksmith suck? I see no reason to use him when I can just AH gear I want. He always makes stuff I can't use yet, and I have to invest a ton of salvaged items, and gold, to roll up items with random mods that might suck. Why not just buy what I want?

    2) Legendaries are really rare, I haven't seen one yet, and looking at their mods they don't seem that good. Uniques in d2 had these special mods you couldn't get on anything else. Like razortail gave piercing on a belt. I dunno just legendaries don't seem super cool. maybe I'm wrong?

    I lost a lot of the cain and leah journals due to my achievements taking a dump : /

    The worst part is my internet kept going down last night so I explored the Fields of Misery about 5 times before having to force myself to move on because the random dungeoning was going to drive me insane otherwise

    I... I have it enabled but I can't seem to figure out exactly how to utilize it.

    I think my brain cells are on holiday.

    I never said you were an idiot. I'm just saying that heat being the source of that kind of a problem is incredibly remote and the servers are the likely problem. The reason is several people are reporting rubber banding and dropped connections.

    it shouldn't be as hidden but i can understand why it's elective and not default

    it's not intuitive


    1) Hit "S"
    2) Pick the SKILL SLOT YOU WANT TO USE. So if you want to map a skill to Mouse 2, pick Mouse 2. If you want to map a skill to number 3, pick the number 3 thing.
    3) Once you're in the main skill menu for that button, use the arrows at the top of the skill window (left-right) to navigate to the ability you want, select it, and hit "accept"



    it honestly took someone explaining this to me like four times to understand what the fuck was going on

    Blacksmith is pretty good, also keep in mind that his upgrades are account-wide.

    I'm not saying the servers can't be the problem here

    I'm just saying that I've encounter some really weird molasses movement and shit directly related to my heat

    and suggested checking that

    sorry i just thought that was a valid suggestion to make

    Turn it off and try to map some skills, it's way more limited

    i have to admit, i'm a bit disappointed with legendaries as well. just seems like there are less of them, and the mods aren't all that great compared to the stuff you could get in d2

    Godmode's bow sucked total balls what the heck

    Also how does dual wielding compute "weapon damage" for abilities

    Thanks again, @Zen Vulgarity! Quick question though - did you craft that bow or come across it at random?

    yeah, i get why it's not the default

    Just made some + 15 vitality boots?

    Anyone want them? I might be able to make a decent profit on the AH with them though.

  • Vargas PrimeVargas Prime King of Nothing Just a ShowRegistered User regular
    Stupid question, but can you trade things between your own characters? Like, via the stash or something?

  • UrielUriel Registered User regular
    Yeah the stash is account based I think?

  • BahamutZEROBahamutZERO Registered User regular
    edited May 2012
    yeah the stash is shared between characters, although I think there's a separate hardcore and softcore stash.
