i feel no reward from grinding. i get no fun from it anymore, other than legendary loot drops - and when they're often crap for my character, i lost interest in the game.

replayability just isnt there for me.

One of the few things keeping my interest is Greater Rifts and ladder rankings. Once you get in teh top 1000 it's an accomplishment. Then you want to do better and then you want to get on 2p, 3p, and 4p rank boards. Multi can be a lot of fun when running GRs on mumble/teamspeak.

Assuming SMK is about as rare as TnT gloves, don't despair, dude: i've found 4 of those gloves already, with 1 of them being from Kadala.

About them conduits pylons, they were under the influence of a power pylon when they nerfed it ... it was @ lvl 9000 before and now, it doesn't even reach lvl 10 ... totally overkill nerfing, IMO. It was too powerfull, but now it's a complete joke. Dunno if it's different for light builds but for non-light builds, it really is

EDIT

To put it into persperctive just how powerfull a conduit pylon was, check this video @ about 14:40 and check how much time the dude had to finish the grift:

I'm assuming it's power is exacerbated by the fact the dude's using a light build, but i'm not 100% sure of this.

I don't feel bad for the nerf on conduits. I think they should be removed totally from greater rifts. Greater rifts are supposed to be about best geared and best skill. Conduits ruined that. Now its a matter of finding a high 45+ GR that has a conduit which IMO is a cheese way to complete a greater rift.

Dunno about best skilled as you can play D3 for ever and not find some thing. TnT i have had my fair share of them they are no were near as hard to find even more so though Kalada due to price.

BUT GR's are just annoying as it's not just the conduits that help others do better, GR's are very fair from fair from the very start as trails don't go by how many you pass but how fast you do one so chars like the DH can get way higher lvl trails than most classes even if you cannot do them were as with a WD you get screwed totally and have to keep doing GR's to get to a trail number more fitting.

Gr's are pretty crappy anyways as there should be more T levels higher than 6 for sure as not everyone has a ego to fill.

Like every game out there, D3, Neverwinter, DDO, WoW, ESOL, SWTOR there is that random gear drop factor. You can game/farm an area for weeks/months for a specific item and not get it and then the first time you help a friend level up in the same area it drops for him. I remember Lord of destruction from D2 and farming for specific items until I was bleary eyed at 4AM. Some luck, some timing, and some work. I would like to farm the keywardens and run infernal machines to make the hellfire items but I can not find groups to do those or they are so far and few between it gets boring.

Yes of course gear matters, it's a grind game... While you might not make it to the top of the list with bad gear it does take different skills then just running standard rifts. So equally geared players, with equal rifts, the better player will win out.

The ego to fill remark is pretty off base.

But if you don't find say a furnace you are not going get on that list and for the typically lower for a pet build a smk is a must or you not going get on it either.

Still my point the gr's are fixed you have to do way more grinding with a WD than any other char ( dunno about bard they are annoying to play lol ).

My WD is already hitting 1.5 - 2.88m damage.

 

[GreiverBlade]

I honestly stopped for a while.

same here ...

pretty much that

2.88m or 2.88b? If that is the case you should be running GR36+. I'm running GR33 on my WD, rheno flayer pet build. Yes to get in the top 500 your gonna need a smk or a furnace. WD is no harder than any of the others. Competitive DH needs M6+TnT+Kinder+Quiver.

Why don't you build a TikiDoc and we can run some GR's, you have a SMK right?

 

[AsRock]

I play only seasons or i am sure we would be having a few games still. Seem to be stuck at GR32 and GR33 gets you in the top 500 in seasons.

And as i said I got one in PTR which is pointless and i got a low level one which i got rid off as it was just as pointless and i did not even find that one lol.

 

[ZenZimZaliben]

Well when the season ends our SMK will be transferred to live.

 

[LightningJR]

I have stopped too. Waiting for Season 2 tbh. Love seasons, the competitive nature of it compels me. I managed to get to rank 326 solo grift on the first season with my wizz . Plus, my strong chars are all on Season 1, my normal chars are very sad and weak I want them in normal to play with everyone.

Anyone add me, LightningJR#1157

 

[ZenZimZaliben]

Finally got my DH fully geared for trials. Can now run trials for my wiz and have got 38 - 42 Keys. Woot! Should have done this a long time ago especially since patch will change DH.

 

[AsRock]

Yeah, unless you can get used to how to play a barb the DH is the way to go for easy \ high trails for sure.

 

[ZenZimZaliben]

I don't even have a barb at level 70. Used to have a HC barb at 70...used to...

 

[flmatter]

I am actually looking forward to seasons 2. Just because reading what you guys have posted about gameplay and such, I can make some changes with a new toon. If they make the monk op, like earlier discussions. I will roll a monk and prolly another wiz for fun. I know somewhere in earlier posts I posted my toon name and #, add me as a friend. I will definitely run trials or gear runs or infernal machines. I like the harder content, work to beat to something not just steam roll it. Although sometimes steamrolling is a nice break.

 

[ZenZimZaliben]

Yeah crackerjack, if he is even around anymore, isn't updating the first post with members.

zenzim#1893 - add me, or if u see me in game message me.

Finally got my DH geared out. Now able to pretty much always make 39 - 43 trial keys. With a little tweaking I am sure I can get 45, although I have no character capable of running that high in single player. Think my wiz is going to max out at 41/42 and 42 if I get a sweet zombie rift. I suppose if I got a zombie rift and a conduit at RG I could complete a 43...but I doubt it.

I am two more boxes to getting my hell ring! Can I invite people before I go into the portal for help? Or is it a solo thing?

You can have a full party for the fight. On T6 the piece always drops too. Not sure if it does on lower Torment levels.



If anyone wants help in Season 1, need leveling, etc.. I can help. I'm looking to start playing again and I like helping ppl.

Are you talking about the hellfire ring or the amulet?

The ring.

 

[ZenZimZaliben]

Doing it just to do it?

Get the amu not the ring, and full party like said but watch out for the war one it can rip you up if your not prepared for it.
