You download authenticator app from the itune store. I'm assuming you don't have an iphone and that's why this seems complicated?

you goto security and download the app from them put it on your phone and then activate it. Once you activate it when you login in and asks for the authenticator you just open the open and type in the number it gives you before the timer runs out and it resets to a different number.

has anyone noticed that act 3 drops are bad again after tuesday's maintenance? I've seen a decline in the amount of level 63's in act 3, but I've only done a handful of runs since yesterday morning so it isn't statistically significant. However it finally seems like Act 2 is dropping like they advertised. After they "buffed" the ilvl63 drop rate to 8% in act 2, I got 4.1% lvl63 in my next 500 rares in Act 2. That is a pretty large sample size. But over the last 10 runs or so I have gotten an appropriate amount. Over the last week I will say that I have seen notable decline in the % of lvl 63 weapons vs armor. It used to be comparable, now I get about 4 Archon pieces or other lvl63 armor for every 63 weapon. I track my drops meticulously in a spreadsheet, so I am pretty sure there was an adjustment made. Anyone else notice this? Wow you actually bother to track your drops with such detail.... I just farm away and go "fuck, crude archon armor again".
I started doing it after the Nether Tentacles nerf. Act 3 inferno was tough for me for a bit then, so I was trying to figure out if the faster Act 2 runs were more profitable per minute then the longer, but better loot, Act 3 runs. It also allows me to refine the efficiency of my runs, as far as what routes I take / levels I clear.
And even though Blizzard has explicitly stated that the drop tables are static... well lets say I am a natural skeptic. I have played games with dynamic loot tables before, where certain variables had an effect on drops but were never explained by the developer (EG: Loot penalty for farming same area too much in a time period, loot bonus for first run / first hour of farming per day, etc). I like to monitor this kind of thing. I sell alot of stuff on RMAH, so I try to treat my farming as a business. Hey, we all get our kicks in different ways.
It's kind of fun. Just set up an excel workbook, a basic table with columns for: what run you are doing, time to complete, # of rares, # of ilvl63, anything else you are interested in (I track rings / amulets / legendary / set also) and some notes. Hook it up to a pivot table so you can monitor trends over time, and boom there you go.

The last drop rates werent the 8 percent that blizzard described but the new ones match the 16 and some change they blogged about most recently.

Killing enemies and finding items is a lot of fun, and we think we have a lot of the systems surrounding that right, or at least on the right path with a few corrections and tweaks. But honestly Diablo III is not World of Warcraft. We aren’t going to be able to pump out tons of new systems and content every couple months. There needs to be something else that keeps people engaged, and we know it’s not there right now.
We’re working toward 1.0.4, which we’re really trying to pack with as many fixes and changes we can to help you guys out (and we’ll have a bunch of articles posted with all the details as we get closer), and we’re of course working on 1.1 with PvP arenas. I think both those patches will do a lot to give people things to do, and get them excited about playing, but they’re not going to be a real end-game solution, at least not what we would expect out of a proper end-game. We have some ideas for progression systems, but honestly it’s a huge feature if we want to try to do it right, and not something we could envision being possible until well after 1.1 which it itself still a ways out.

Diablo franchise has never had an "end-game". With act bosses and champions in general largely being nothing more than tank and spank, the only thing that kept me going in D2 was leveling different builds and classes for the fun of it. Others took the grind to 99 while I usually stopped at 70 or 80. I guess hardcore progress focused MMORPG gamers just can't accept that. But I guess it's not 1998 anymore. We want more.

I'd call Uber Tristram an endgame.

It's a really bad one, a level 48 legendary named Blackguard. Was just trying to pimp my Wiz looks for lolz

Oh and for you guys with a level 23+ Barb. Buy an Unending War, level 23 legendary off AH for as cheap as 5-10k. It's the awesomest looking weapon ingame imo. It pulsates a reddish (force armor like) wave all the time. Really cool

Uber Tristram was added 5 years after Diablo 2 was released, when almost everybody except the most hardcore players had already quit the game.
I agree with Ownos here. The Diablo series wasn't built around an endgame and shouldn't have an endgame. It's a series that's designed to be easily picked-up at any time, not played regularly for years on end. The game gets released and people play the game until their loot/level accumulation gets slow enough that they get bored. For me, it was in the level 70s/80s in Diablo 2 as well. People then leave the game, play something else, and pick it up again later on, usually to level a brand new character.
That's what made the game last so long. It was a game where you could easily pick it up at any time you feel the urge to play again, unlike MMOs where you have to spend hours researching the newest skill builds and rotations. I'm at 300 hours played already and close to stopping, probably in around 50 more hours. I'll probably just farm a little every now and then after that. Adding an MMO-style endgame won't keep me playing Diablo 3 longer than I currently plan to. It will, however, heavily discourage me from coming back to the game in the future.

Just saw this someone posted it on us bnet forum link and think i should share it here too:
Chinese gold botting:
Each of the rig running 15 copies of d3. Look at the last picture, there are at least 30+ of them.
+ Show Spoiler +http://tieba.baidu.com/p/1706957541
Suddenly the 100mil buyout on AH makes sense now -_-

I don't think anyone is asking for MMO style end game. There doesn't need to be more bosses released or anything like that. It just needs some sense of progress to keep the game interesting. There needs to be pvp. There just needs to be the "end game" that diablo 2 had and we'll be all set. I don't think that's too much to ask.

Looks fake, Ive never seen a botter actually hook a screen up to each of his machines. No need. In fact most of the time you don't even run the game, just an executable that spoofs it all.

I've seen similar setups in LAN shops when I was in China. Inefficient, maybe, but probably not fake.

Why would you connect monitors and turn them on?
Botting is all about efficiency. Its not a fucking laser light show.

For debugging reasons, obviously. If something goes wrong, you can fix it.
