I had to completely alter my setup for belial. Make sure your follower is setup with healing abilities to keep you up.

I've had the Templar since I first met him and for every one of his ability levels I chose the best "Save Me, NOW !" option. I also have all of my abilities set for max survivability.
I have tens of thousands of gold, so I can repair my stuff every time I die for a looong time. :laugh:

Its a hack and slash but if you lost the passion to game then I would wait.

I got bored with Skyrim too (although it was some 100 hours later, not 4).
Diablo 3 kicked me right back into being enthusiastic about gaming again. It's just an easy to play, fun to watch game of mob slaughter. What's not to like?

Maybe you can play with the guys in ts tonight, they should be getting to that point shortly. I would help but I work all day.

I don't want help. I'll get it eventually. I'm used to dieing a lot in games.

Also, I don't have TS ... or a microphone/headset for that matter.

Thing is, I always think buying a game is a good idea. However, I haven't been much of a gamer for years. I thought with Skyrim that I would actually really get into gaming again. Nope. Got bored after like 4 hours of play. I think the last games I actually finished were DII and HL2...I'm not kidding. So, I'm hoping to get a solid feel for the game first, and since it's a hack and slash, I may get into it. I just don't want to spend $60 to find out.

Dude, I do the exact same thing. Totally hyped up for Skyrim and Amalur, but didn't play them much more than 20 hours. The deal with me is, I have to be able to play games with friends, or at least other random people. Single player for some reason bores the bejeezus out of me.

That said, the first 9 levels (an hour and a half, maybe?) probably won't be enough play-time for you to make a quality decision.

Is a guest pass considered starter edition? If so, Dave said you can't play with full version people.

Anyway, drop off your battletag and I'll be happy to start a new character to play together in a fresh game.

I droppedd into Dave's game to give it a try. I can see it can be a total cluster f* lol

Going into MP somewhat hoses your SP game. Not irreparably, but you lose your place and have to start over at the specific quest beginning (not a big deal) and you lose your follwer and have to go back and rehire them.

I read a bit on the internet for tactics to beat Belial, and guess what !!
I'm still getting my ass kicked. :rockout:



It's worth it. Just buy it. It's loads of monster slaying goodness. :)

I didn't evne notice until we were in town, then you left right after lulz. ANd yeah, it cna be vrey..well..um..yeah.:roll:

Yeah, I just chased you around in the sewers for awhile and got a kill or two just to see what it was like. I left because I wasn't sure if you wanted anyone else there. :)
As you state ... it will definitely be .. uh ... interesting. :laugh:

That's a good question. Anyone know? Oh, and thanks Kreij. May take you up on that.

Honestly, I don't mind at all if someone drops in. The ability to go back and re-do quest-oriented events makes it not matter to me at all. I ahve more than one character, and do plan to paly each class, so it's no big deal at all.


Part of my problem noticing what's going on is my class choice...summoning 3 dogs and a zombie or two means that there's lots of action directly around me, making it hard to see other players. Hafl the time i don't evne see al lthe enemies, and ahve to rely on the summoned creatures attacks to know there's still an enemy or two around. :roll:.

Has to be starter editions to paly with guest passes together...which means creation of a secondary battletag, maybe, and using one of the guest passes for yourself, if you want to play with those that you give passes to.


Mailman got a pass for Reayth, optino to join him was greyed out ,adn hew could nto join us. Brandonwh64 also got a guest pass, and he could paly wit hreayth, but I couldn't join brandon either, so i guess it's full with full, and starter with starter only..

I just do a quick spin with my laser to double check of I missed anything.

When I first started getting gems, I was only getting chipped ruby's. Then when I started getting the other 3 types of gems, I stopped getting ruby's. Do I have bad luck, or is that how the loot lists are supposed to work?

EDIT: I finally found another chipped ruby. I think the game tries to balance your gem drops.

EDIT2: LOL, I have a non-magic weapon called "Balanced Dagger". This dagger is having it's bonus applied to my off-hand weapon (which does 35.6 dps).

I don't know how far you guys have gone so far, but i'm level 60 now. If i put in a bit of effort i think i could probably hit inferno in another couple hours.

I still die really quickly in hell though which has me somewhat concerned. (49.6K health)

Your non magic weapon has a better aps (attack per second) which is why, even though it has less dmg, it produces more dps.

I've finally finished the normal campaign. It took me 19.5 hours playing casually. Not bad for what is supposed to be a short campaign.

Here's my character,


With Battle Rage and Berserker Rage he can reach around 750dps. I'm not sure how much Frenzy adds because, for some reason, it's bonus isn't shown.

lol i must be REALLLY slow. i'm 10 hours in and just got to act 2. I am not purposely taking my time or anything - but i am one to explore every nook and cranny.

Also i'm leveling one of each, though the 10 hrs is just my wizard, who is farthest along.

That's the best way to play, Digi. You get the most for your money by taking your time and exploring everything.
If you think about it, someone who screams through the ($60) game in 6 hours just paid $10/hr for their entertainment. Of course if they find that fun then more power to them.

I wander endlessly and check out everything. There is also some random nature to this game. I found things in dungeons with my second character that were definitly not there with my first character because I clear dungeons.

i remember reading about it, they have more instances than uses for them, so there are some you simply will not see on a given play through. I agree, i feel i get the most out of it going slow like i do :)

back to the game ;)
