I have played alot now, up to Act IV of Nightmare with my Monk, but I have mixed feelings on this game. It baffles me that after all the shit they got for SC2s bnet that they would go ahead and make it even WORSE. Seriously, no private channels and everything you type is in one small ass window, and you have to constantly tab back and forth if you want to talk to different people. It's a fucking mess and its horrible as hell. It's 2012 and Blizzard is one of the biggest companys out there and they give us this? It's embarassing. Even in SC2, if someone messages me but I have it minimized, it will flash and let me know "hey, someone messaged you." Fuck this chat system, it is beyond retarded. Don't know who made this shit but they should be fired.
The game is ok though to me, I find it pretty fun. I didn't play D2 much so i'm not blinded with nostalgia and constantly comparing things to it. I do wish that if you get disced it doesnt just kick you off...I remarked earlier that it took me forever to beat Act 2 the first time through because of all the disconnects. This constant need to always be connected is just horrible DRM that pisses off legit customers. It's also pretty damn repetitive. I get it, its a hack and slash. Cool. Why does everything have to be the same though? Why can't there be more sidequests and more areas that maybe unlock with higher difficultys. I don't even know if I will even get to Inferno because i'm bored of going through the same fucking places constantly.
All I can say is they need to fix this shit in patches or with the expansion. In its current state, I won't be playing it again within a month or so from now.
I agree with what other people have been saying. It feels like an incomplete game that they just rushed out for some quick cash then maybe fix it over the new few months. It's certainly popular with other gaming companys but I expect more from Blizzard. Guess I was wrong...

Is there some way to avoid Rakanoth's charge attack? I've tried standing behind a pillar but it doesn't seem to do anything. It does way too much damage to eat it though so there must be some means that I'm missing.
The best I can see to do is spirit walk to avoid the damage, but he casts it more often than the cooldown...
he is from the opressor enemy type, i dont think you can do anything.
They are my number 1 nemesis since they began 1 shotting me in even nightmare.
As a DH i just spam my smokebomb and hope they die before they oneshot me.
same with that guy, i spam my smokebomb and hope he dies before he gets any ideas.
Or use multiplayer for that boss

Yeah, I had to get a friend to carry me. Seems a bit ridiculous that the charge attack is unavoidable. Every other boss you can dodge all their attacks ^_^

What does everyone think is the best way going about beating it on hardcore mode?

Depends on your class, but for general solo is the way to go.

I'm still utterly convinced that the real chat mode is somewhere hidden in the gameplay options (like Elective Mode is). There's simply no way they would seriously make the in-game chat size four font in the bottom corner of the screen. Half the time, I don't even know people are typing to me because I'm paying attention to the actual screen. The other half of the time, I can't even read what people are saying. Plus the player conversation gets interrupted by the non-playable character conversation too? What the hell -.-' And I agree that the chat-cycling to pick a person to chat to is ridiculous too. You can't even /reply or /whisper right?
This will hopefully be patched.

The major bugs about chat is hte "tabbing" to switch. It should set "party" as a default, and "/r /w" specifically for someone you want to talk about. 2nd one is that text fade WAY tooo fast.
But I do love how you can link items (though you can't link items that have been filled w/ a gem, I think this is a bug)
Also, 20k per changing squares to flawless squares is simply to ridic....

Reply works. I'm not sure about whisper as I've never tried it.

Or, yknow, actually have some +vit gear on a DH. Oppressors didn't 1-shot my DH on nightmare.

I do like this too  It's been very useful so far ^^
The other things you mentioned... I agree that they're annoying (or hopefully mistakes).

You can /p to talk to party. It's something at least.

Hate to break it to you, but the game really fucked up any hopes of that, the best items are too easy to find and will drive a very low price with them because of it, and the game didn't sell nearly as popular as most people thought it would, you will be lucky to grind minimum wage. The real money already passed, the first 48hours 100k gold was going for 40-50$ now it's down to ~$5 for 100k gold

Wait you can't sell back what you have purchased from the auction house? I bought this spear and I can't resell it for some kind of error.

I had that with a 1h Mace as well, no idea if it's on purpose or not though. Could sell everything else just fine but repeated errors with that one weapon.
I'm not 100% sure if I originally bought it from AH or looted it but theres a big chance I might have bought it.

one of Kripp's group found the recipe to craft 6 mod rare gloves and they're making a ton of them. they were also doing some kind of 3-4 minute repeated farm run on a specific mob.

Anyone willing to invite me so I can skip act 2 on hell to the beginning of act 3? I am already level 55.

Is it just me or are gems incredibly fucking overpowered if you use them on an alt?
I went for only sockets for my lvl 30 demon hunter, and not only does a good red gem ~double the dps of low level weapons, having +36dex in every second item is incredible. I can still 4 shot average elite mobs on nightmare.

Obviously gems would be OP. That's the whole point. So you can level new characters faster.
Today I learned how useful resists really are, so I stacked up to 420 resists and now I can fight my way through act 1 inferno without a sweat.
Need to buy a better weapon soon though, my dps is too low to kill the butcher before the enrage timer goes off.
