Yeah Diablo 3 was broken for like 3 days at launch. You'd think they'd toss money at this to fix it. You can spin up a ton of cloud servers and slowly reduce them.
Or you can just let the shit break and count your money to the bank... I guess that works too.
In my experience the trick is forgetting about all that and just settle for a 200-300 mf range with optimized killspeed and just tear through the game bosses and elite mobs alike.
try to get 350-500 when you're getting beter gear and are lvl 90+, but killing lot of stuff fast will always be the most important thing.
It seems you don't need to have beaten the current difficulty in order to go to the cow level there. I assume you can't open the portal yourself, but if someone else does you can go to Hell Cows without having beaten Hell. I don't remember OG D2 working that way but maybe it was something that got changed later (most my time was pre-1.10)?
I've been leveling my necro offline, 67 and halfway through act 5 nightmare. I have had to create one of every alt just to move class specific stuff out of communal stash. World it have killed them to have way more space offline? I have a lot more space on my computer then 20 years ago, really.
Also i wanted to level a Javazon next but the game has dropped every single unique bow/xbow to my necro that's clvl 35 or bake to equip.
Mephisto looks pretty rad in this game too. He is about to be his skull caved in and his existence erased a few times before I go straight to hell (for all the murder, but also to kill that Diablo guy of course).
That's the traditional advice. Pick a curse to pump for convenience, or a golem (or mastery) so you don't have to resummon them so often, or bone armor synergies (which are better than straight points into bone armor) for some extra health.
Extra points to clay golem does improve the slow, but the diminishing returns make further points less useful.
I’m trying out stuff I never did in old D2, which means it’s Fire/Summon Druid time! Level 50 now and the max bear absolutely tears everything up. Plus I get to be a wizard that casts Bears at the enemy, who rapidly ceases to exist.

I mean as someone who works in the industry I think you would know that throwing compute at something is not always the answer. It is most likely something systemic. And either innate or external caused or both. I would probably vote the latter (both).

You're right. If it was something as simple as an auth server issue it could probably be fixed by slapping more servers into it. But it could be the underlying database. I'm actually running into an issue right now with concurrency in a retail store environment haha.

Yeah I imagine its a combination of things. Being an AAA and blizz means they most likely have their fair share of people trying to bring them down manually and, if still the original code base to a point, is still being hit harder than it has perhaps ever.
Someone already made the joke but I remember for Diablo II launch that the US realms were basically unplayable for the first month. So our group suffered through the weirdness of open battle.net for the duration. If Blizzard are going to replicate unpleasantness like ninja looting and tiny inventory might as well go all the way.
I got a gheeds last night. Mid MF roll and bottom GF roll but I will take it. I am not 500+ mf but I am also not a sorc heh. My hammer dmg is surpassed 4k last night too so I can murder everything just need some more survive in the build. Hunting Lo for the fortitude and Vex for my Hoto.
I also had like 3 Shakos of varying non unique drops hit the floor. Always a nut punch.

keep at it man. i had 2 drop in 30 runs after farming them for 4 days straight. Run Andy and Meph with 300 mf and you will get it sooner (or later D;)

I'm scared to even run mini ubers because of portals getting eaten. It sucks.

Yeah that is what i am told heh. I have hundreds and hundreds of kills of meph, andy, baal, etc on my grail chars and still no Shako.

Yeah between the WC3 release and their recent bullshit and Immortal... I wouldn't be surprised if there was a coordinated DDOS against their servers.
Maxed Raise Skeleton, Skeleton Mastery, and Corpse Explosion. Not sure what to do with points now.
1 point in summon resist guess a long way.
Ditto for decrepify.
I'm not a big fan of revives only paying 180 seconds.
Who do you pick for your mercenary? I have an Act2 Merc who uses Prayer...but I wonder if that's the best pal for my skellies?
Act 2 nightmare merc with Might is your best bet by far! He buffs melee skellies damage a lot; you can use pretty much whatever before you get there.
This. I also have him a polearm with a runeword that suppresses healing, the healer mobs in act 3 were really annoying me since you can't focus fire the skeletons.

Yeah it is! That amount of Topaz should give the appearance of a gleaming golden god that glows in the dark.

Hopefully they'll be back?
Not great, Blizz.
I'm pretty sure this banner is just permanently staying up on the launcher.
They're getting raked through the coals (as well they should).

WHAT YEAR IS IT!?

Which is why I'm suspecting DDOS but I can't say for sure.
