So if you are on the ptr make sure you swap the game type from campaign and normal difficulty to adventure mode. You'll avoid wasting a lot of time waiting on a huge queue only to have to leave game and start over >.<

Yup, they're slowly coming around to removing many of the game's minor annoyances. It's a victory for us "games are supposed to be fun" types.

Just need to increase item space, improve inventory management and make trials less of a chore.

although i agree with these changes, they do have a point on some things (e.g., autopickup for certain item types, crafting materials, etc.) that if they make it automatic they are basically turning a rote game into a mind numbingly even more rote game. that being said, if people want their game to be auto-play, unless it costs a lot development wise, just let them have an option to select autopickup.

In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

I don't want autopickup for crafting materials because of inventory issues. It's like autopickup of potions before this patch. It was annoying having to throw them away every so often.

I just find, playing RPGs, not just D3 but even the more traditional CRPGs, I'm spending too much time managing inventory instead of killing shit. Well, my day job is as an inventory analyst and let me tell you that work is more fun than managing D3's stash space.

what surprises me most is that there are game types called "idle" that play themselves with little to no interaction by the player. they are quite popular.

So I played D3 at release (or rather didn't play. Zing.) and I bought the expansion when it came out. After I hit max level on 1 character, I got bored as fuck. The rift spam for items is the most sleep inducing thing I've ever seen in a video game. That being said, I haven't played in quite a while and was wondering if they have made enough improvements to make the game fun now. I know fun is subjective, but everyone I knew personally who played, and everyone I interacted with online just shit all over it and were very disappointed. So, there must have been a good reason for it if that many people were pissed off. Anyway, worth playing now?

Unless you want to do time trial rifts then the game hasn't changed much. I don't understand the appeal of time trial rifts though so I'm not bothered to play S2.

I played this game(200 hours total) mostly while i was listening to state of the game or inside the game(or some other podcast like that) Seriously though, try playing d3 while listening to something. You don't miss anything since there is no strategy besides brainless button mashing and searching for that orange-brown color.
I might start doing it again for remax and summoners insight.

I was playing D3 while listening to lectures on russian literature. I swear, it's more fun to play that way and you don't really miss anything. Even on HC.

This is from the undocumented patch notes thread on the d3 ptr forums - "Picking up one stack of a mat type will pick up all mats of that type close to you. Appears to be either: 3x your pickup radius or ~15 yards."

Greater Rifts aren't there for items, but for legendary gems and leveling them up, and leveled up gems do quite a lot of work. So you level gems up through the Greater Rifts to be able to get further in normal Rifts.

I came back from a pause of 8 months or so, and I actually enjoy it quite a lot. There are few sets that change your class playstyle a lot(WD in my case) and I am constantly switching between WDs. Of course your are going to farm those sets, and I understand that some people are getting bored with it but it is Hack&Slash game, it is repetitive by default.

About Season 2, people are playing it because there are new items that you can't get through normal adventure mode and drop rate is increased by 100% afaik.

So guys, I recently kinda got back into diablo 3 and got some questions.

Mainly: what am I supposed to do at 70? Run rifts? Should I clear the rifts completely or just till the boss spawns?

Depends on why you're in the rift.
If you're there for blood shards, kill the boss, close the rift and go again.
Encountering a Blood Thief goblin is a god send if you're looking for shards as you'll get 200-300 of them.

Depending on how many runs you plan to make and how many rift fragments you have, you can choose to clear the entire rift (making the most out of your fragments) or just burn through them for shards and trial stones.

If you're looking for legendaries, the regular rift bosses don't really give them that much so I usually prefer to clear the rift.
Greater Rift bosses will drop legendaries, but you won't get anything else in the rift.
That said, if you don't have any legendary gems yet, run atleast a couple of Greater Rifts, as some gems can make a massive difference.
Playing Terran is like flying down a MULE drop in a marine suit, firing a Gauss Rifle

So i would say:
Farm Rifts till you got a decent count of greater Rift stones. This way you will get a decent amount of gems, shards and items so you may start seeing what build you can go and and improve your character to optain higher difficuilties.
You will see that reenchanting items and making better gems will be extremly expensive at the beginning, but both make you a lot stronger. So you farm greater rifts till you got legendery gems of all sorts (14 runs I think) and use the money-explosion gem. After this you will have infintie amount of money when farming normal rifts.

From this point it is: Farm normal Rifts complete for legends and normal gems (till you got enough ultimate gems) and farm bigger rifts only to improve your legendary gems. Use (after you got alot of money) 3 legendary gems that suit your build most and upgrade em. Dont fight to high level large rifts to early, till you got gems at lvl 15 or so, you can farm the rifts at lvl 15-18 and you gonna farm em pretty fast not waisting alot of time there.

Finally it will only be the same: Farm normal rift, scrap not needed legendarys and find better legendarys or acient legendarys.

And if you get 2 bored, you can farm the hellfire stuff by farming the keys and making the machines.

At the start of this Season, I ran some bounties to get Riftstones. Then I run some rifts to get GRiftstones and then I run GRifts to get my Gems (Level1=>Level2=>Level3...) with doing bounties while waiting for the Rift-Timer.
Afer that I farmed the Vault to get my Boon of the Hoarder Gem, because I was out of money all the time. Now I run some Normal Rifts until I have my Sets.
