Depends on difficulty. If you can take most of the champ mobs in a reasonable time period with neph stack then thats the best.
If you cant then look up chest runs and other shit like aspect runs.

I honestly had a lot of fun clearing all of act 1 (almost).
I do cursed hold, kill butcher / warden, then go to all the zones clearing elites + finding chests. It's actually more enjoyable than butcher + warden runs over and over, and I got some pretty decent stuff out of it.
Though I could expand this and do spider queen + warden + butcher + cleaning house.

I feel like chest runs and aspects are more hit or miss while stacking NV and killing a boss is slower but guaranteed a couple rares. Speaking of which, what is the current chest run that everyone is doing?

Ok, he sells waypoints for 50K on his stream but still...
How does one sell waypoints?
Trump plays a lot, and often when I hop onto his stream he's on the AH. So it's not surprising he's racked up a lot of gold.

I get drunk and mindlessly do 30-45second runs for 16-18hours a day. If I get really drunk and/or bored I'll go full clear act 2/3's rare packs generally doesn't take too long.

It's kind of the off season around here so I have a few appointments a week and other than that just grinding away. The perks of being an adult.

I'm currently running Act 2 by stacking to 5 with early waypoint fallen elites (even with nasty modifiers they are way easier than most) and clearing the early areas up to alcarnus if needed, then just waypointing straight to Kulle (using the kill him quests when creating game). Kulle is ridiculously easy to ranged classes as you can just stomp his golems and lure him into position so he is on the opposite end of the soulstone bridge and just shoot him while he stands there and might cast a tornado as he doesn't do anything else from there.
I guess I should finally finish Belial at some point and move onto act 3.

more like the perks of having a job with those perks, but yeah. I'd like to have a job where I kinda decide my own time frame, or basicly just not 9-5 hah.
btw would you say its worth to just not spend any money right now and wait for the markey to be even more flooded? prices are going down everyday and i figured with 5 mil gold which i have atm i should be able to get a wep which is 10 mil or so today in a 4-5 days.
|
I've been trading everything into d2jsp fg because gold/items are depreciating at a crazy rate. Two days ago I traded 5mil into what it was worth in FG, now with the same amount of FG I can buy 9-10mil.

Couple of things to say here..i'll start with the nice one.
What does everyone think about overtaking one of the "fixed" chatrooms for TL's use? It would just be a place for us all to socialise, trade, group up etc while playing.
Considering every chat apart from General (which only has 30+ people in anyway) is barren at all times of day, it wont be that hard. I was thinking of the LFG channel, as anyone who joins will likely be of somewhat use to us or something, if this is a good idea, perhaps we should make a thread to get it out there for TL.
2nd thing.
Blizzard really needs to do something about public games. Its fucking retarded to join 10-15+ games with people just AFK in town, or you open up your game to people, for them to join and AFK or fuck off somewhere else just making your life harder.
Its ridiculous IMO, sure say "just dont play public" - sorry, i have few friends who play D3 and solo is pretty damn boring. They need to make it so you wont join games where people are just AFK (say an afk meter of 5 minutes or something) and that if someone joins your game just to afk, you can just as easily get rid of them, again perhaps a 5 minute timer in which you can remove them after they've joined. (Maybe just putting them in their own instanced game, where they can afk for hours.)
These people really aggrivate me when i just want a few people to play with, instead i have to put up with a bunch of idiots AFK, or joining games just to AFK.

A bit of a silly question but have anyone found a good purple color dye? The royal dye which you can buy from some vendors look very bright pink to me.
|
All dye's have a really low saturation, nearly pastel look, at least on a lot of gear.

Today I met Grim Wraiths Yellow and Blue while doing a Kuul run in Act II
doesn't even matter what affixes they have.

Wait so help me understand something. Servers are currently under maintenance, and they're doing another 8 hour maintenance again tomorrow?
At the beginning I defended D3's faulty start, but it's 2 weeks after release of this game with a huge single player focus that we cannot play because they need to perform maintenance? This is getting ridiculous.
|
Where does it say they're doing another 8 hour maint tomorrow...?

Yeah, you're probably reading some posts talking about maintanence from yesterday or something...
I tried to stay in bed as long as possible so it would be 11 AM by the time I got out of bed. I'm pretty terrible at that.
