Support NeoGAF

[toastyToast]

I'm looking forward to transmogging all my characters to have consistent gear rather than looking like they splurged at a goodwill store.

 

[lexi]

Once I finish act V and get adventure mode, is it then unlocked for all my characters? Or is it a per character deal

All chars

 

[KaYotiX]

Funnily enough, most of the "Yoshi is sick", "Yoshi needs a life" or Yoshi-hate in general comes from US GAF. Coincidence? I don't think so. Jealousy? I think so.

Whatever, people need to chill the fuck out and be more hype. People can't apparently hype video games on a video game forum.

It's GAF they hate on everything man. They could get free games and $$ and still bitch.

 

[dengatron]

any estimates from beta as to how many act V clears it will take to reach 70 post xp nerf? i'd like to be 70 for the first orange drop then immediately take a crusader into adventure mode.

 

[Dawg]

30 minutes left!

>DDDDDDDDDDD

 

[Chaos17]

CRRRRRRUSADER TIME.

almost.

In 30 mins for me *_*

 

[Artadius]

Follow up question...

Can you unlock adventure mode by just plowing through Normal difficulty or do you have to be at least on Torment 1? Do you have to be 70 also to unlock it?

 

[Sothpaw]

I don't give a shit about how Yoshi plays or how much he plays (and neither should anyone else really). I only give a shit if/when he starts shitting up threads with verbal diarrhea post Blizzard game release after the hype phase has subsided. The drive by post nonsense is irritating, shit was bad in D3 thread and was bad in the Hearthstone thread as well.

Thankfully that hasn't happened yet but if it does you bet your candy ass I am going to call his ass out on it.

I have to agree. I mean the D3 vanilla was pretty shitty but the comments were like a 12 year old took Richard Sherman levels of aderall while drinking a 40oz of Starbucks.

 

[Rubius]

This was my main takeaway from the brief time I was able to put up with the high latency. It was just way too slow. I have zero interest in legit leveling a character through the same content again if it is going to be that slow. Pretty much power level or nothing for me.

Could you level a guy in Adventure mode? Because my main problem with Diablo 3 was that the game was lacking replayability at launch. And from what I seen, not much have changed in 2.0 on that front.

Where's that NeoGAF gif when you need it.

 

[Arkanius]

28 minutes left!
My Crusader is ready!

 

[Sothpaw]

Euros getting my American made game first WTF BLIZZARD!

JK I'm at work anyway. Enjoy fellow westerners.

 

[amrod]

Is it possible to use a VPN to play early?

 

[Robin64]

Is it possible to use a VPN to play early?

No. You can just pick Europe if you want to play early, but you'll be on Europe servers with none of your stuff.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

Is it possible to use a VPN to play early?

Nope. You have separate characters for each realm.

And, uh, yeah I'd say that confirms it.

[Telephoto999]

Theres so much cringe on this dreamhackTV stream. I literally have to alt tab at times. Wow.

 

[amrod]

ah crap so now to think if i should play on euro for a bit or wait

 

[Cocaloch]

So how do I go about getting into the NA overflow clan?

 

[Kacho]

Can you give an example?

 

[Ingeniero]

The time has come, my body and mind are ready.

Bring on the Crusadeeeeer

 

[Fixed1979]

Based on this post they can even hate on GAF while posting on GAF.

Yes, but as mentioned you have to have it unlocked first.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

I just bought the game, am I still getting wings?

Got online and didn't see anything.

Edit: Just got them

 

[Jokab]

They're interviewing two (admittedly pretty great) cosplayers who are in the studio right now. It's kind of a weird thing.

 

[Wolfie5]

I will play Act 5 first with my WD, just need to remember to uncheck "skip cutscenes" first. Than it will be about adventure mode all the way and gearing up my WD
Not in a hurry to play crusader, that will have to wait.

 

[Telephoto999]

Can you give an example?

The cosplayer intros just now.

Announcer calling the daibo diablo.

The general awkwardness.

 

[dmr87]

Euros getting my American made game first WTF BLIZZARD!

How does it feel?!! *shakes fist*

That, and leaving every general/trade chat to avoid tards spoiling and spamming shit.

 

[Raticus79]

So how do I go about getting into the NA overflow clan?

Join the GAF public community (not clan), check the roster there for one of the officers who's in GAFMAX, and send them a message.

 

[ZenaxPure]

-Nerfed XP gain was super noticeable, hard only got me to level 10 before the SK.It was annoying instead of fun, paragon levels on NA will help with that.
-Provoke lets you just spam finishers on things a lot of the time. Feels WAY less limited than Fury does.

I played a bit of crusader and honestly provoke feels more like a non-consistent version of war cry (in terms of resource generation). It's better when you are in large packs, but way worse when fighting stuff like bosses/elite packs. It'll probably be a staple for me though, unless there are better methods of wrath generation at higher levels.

As for xp, yeah, it's pretty rough. Thankfully though between having a hellfire ring, a level reduced weapon, and adventure mode I don't think I will mind it that much (unless I decide to just go the power level route, but, I am thinking adventure mode should make leveling it fun).

Good point, will do that too.

Even on just a single mob Provoke gives like as much as a war cry, it's definitely a great skill. That one never left my bar by the time I quit.

 

[Fularu]

I didn't want to ruin it too much so I only played through the skeleton king/level 12 (didn't get to 13 for steed charge).
Thoughts:

Oh, and blessed hammers were the last thing I got, absolutely wrecked packs of mobs, and costs almost nothing. Bad single target though.

The lack of two Hellfire rings also impacts the speed at which one levels.

One for the follower and one for yourself should make us reach lvl 13-14 by the time we reach SK.

12 minutes!

( Until Error-time )

War Cry generates fury and has good passive benefits. The effect of Provoke is gone in seconds even though they're both on a 30s timer. Barb also has Leap and Furious Charge on a 15s timer.

The prevalence of cooldowns in the Crusader's skill set has me concerned.

 

[doomquake]

reinstalled after 2 years (is it really that old now?) and redid my mage... made a frozen orb spam mage build + knockout bubble with that unique amulet that spawns shadow clones..thought i was original

 

[Yoshichan]

You are my hero.
Sorry, Yoshichan, but I know and you know this will happen. You will hate the game sooner or later, and we will hear about it over and over and over

You're just as obvious as I am, then. Good job.

 

[jersoc]

alright, time to get a thunderfury to drop. need that transmorg

 

[Yoshichan]

Seriously, just as much as I seem to be making your launch party "shitty", you guys are making mine even worse. The amount of fucking headache this thread's given me is beyond incredible, it's fucking unbelievable how much I want to get the fuck out of here and not return in a long ass time.

In fact, that's exactly what I'll do. The haters won. Peace ya'll, enjoy the game.

 

[Cse]

How long is 60-70 expected to take?

Obviously War cry does other things I think it's disingenuous to say that War Cry generates more resources though, if you're facing only a single mob they're like the same, and against even 4-5 provoke is basically full wrath.

Besides the resource generation the skills are 100% different so who cares.

 

[Telephoto999]

15 minutes if you do royal snake runs on T6.

 

[NaDannMaGoGo]

IT'S LIVE!

 

[Mattdaddy]

I was starting sweat bullets amazon hadn't shipped yet... Then I found out I live in the same city as the distribution center. Day saved.

 

[Solid Amit]

Couple more minutes to go...

 

[Rubius]

Yes, but as mentioned you have to have it unlocked first.

Kind of a bad concept. Why would I have to unlock the ability to play a randomly generated map when it's the main point of the Diablo series. Oh well. Will play in 4 weeks anyway.

 

[Kacho]

This thread is all sorts of weird.

With right rune and a decent sized pack furious charge has no cooldown

I feel like I missed something... Anyway, love you yoshi. Enjoy the crusader
