If I'm on tonight can probably help with my Druid. Although I don't think I ever got trav wp.

Appreciate the help to Mad and Munny. Got a lot of waypoints and quests checked off.

These servers... sigh*

Yep, based on what I'm reading it's been 4-5 days in a row with log in issues.

There are quite a few QoL fixes that need to happen.

Better game searches.
Better chat channels.
In game friends lists.
A buff/debuff GUI
In game runewords recipe book
Loot filtering
More inventory stash tabs
Stackable gems / runes would help a ton especially since there are 33 different runes and 5 levels of 6 different gems, all of which you need to keep.
Mogs and dyes would be a nice to have too

There is an in game friends list but it's not great. Also the chat is all weird.

The lobby and chat systems are a complete mess. Fortunately I've got a core group of buddies that hit this game all together so the chat and finding a public game issues really don't have that big of an affect on us but the rare times I do try and use those features, it's in a horrible state.

The clunkiness of linking and viewing linked items is the only thing driving me completely bonkers. Other than that, this is just about everything I could have possibly wanted, having an absolute blast. If they barely touch it from here on out, I'll still play the hell out of this game for years to come. But there are definitely some small QoL and balance issues I'd be very much in favor of.

Hopefully they can allow assigning any skill to left/right mouse. I'd love to be able to assign Blizz/TP at the same time.

Anyone ever run hell Baal runs or have a group for it?

Somehow server situation is getting worse day to day instead of better. I was in an unmoving queue at 630 on a Sunday morning

I can usually find baal runs in the lobby, but I don't worry about gear, just exp. The gear clickers are way too fast for me to compete with.

Y'all find anything good so far?

2 SoJ's
HoZ
24 Mara's
Ber Rune
2 Tal's Amulets
Highlord's
Oculus

Think that's everything of any real value.

I apparently need to run with you

Forgot 2x Andariel's Visage.

Almost all of that was from running Ancient Tunnels. One Tal's from a Countess run, both Andariel's Visage from Diablo runs.

My cycle is Countess>Andariel>Tunnels>Summoner>Meph>Diablo>Eldritch/Pindle.

Only Countess, Tunnels and Diablo have been productive. And Summoner just for keys.

Only final items I have are a Magefist and a Harlequin Crest. I'm one vex away from my HoTO. Traded some Tal gear for some Griswold armor which is okay.

Wow!

I haven't been able to play nearly as much as I'd like thanks to kids, have a level 85 Sorc and 27 Druid for reference...

2x Occy (both on Nightmare hilariously enough)
Shako


With my buddy who I play and share loot with, he's found:

SOJ
2x HOZ
20 mara's (of course it was 20)
Highlords
2x Skullder's

Found Windforce yesterday.

Trying to push through Hell Act3/4+ and getting reamed. I come up against lightning & cold immune (same boss) and am F'd. Also need more resistance as I have neg. fire res. I was able to solo clear Hell cows but lost Haseen too much and costed $$$$.

Going to run about 100 NM cows to see if I can get any drops to help toughness.

Do you have the basic Spirit MH and Offhand?

Still using spirit monarch but recently upgraded from Spirit sword to to Oculus. I'm trying to craft a good rez ring atm.

Hmm... seems like you are about as gears as I am, maybe more, and I had no issue until clearing Diablo's cold immune mobs. Act V is a pain because of all the cold immune. I just finally rescued Anya by literally taking on a couple baddies at a time with my merc.

Sounds like it is hammer time.

Ha! Solo'd all the way through Hell Baal.

Definitely required some kiting and letting my merc solo those cold immunes. Now I can do Hell cows.

Was able to trade my way to an Eth Infinity Thresher/full Tal set. Not sure I'm enjoying the lightning respec so far, think I need a CTA before it becomes really viable. Mana drain is a *****.

Servers have been a beast lately.

For my lightning javazon still on the hunt for a lot of key pieces.

3/20 gloves (damn you Anya)
Griffins helm (lol...like that will ever drop)
Lightning facet drop(s)
Runes for an infinity (have the open socket weapons)
Runes for Enigma or Chains of Honor (have the armor)
TGod's belt (or Razortail)
Highlord Amulet

Got some good trades in for mid/high level runes and pgems.

Scored a Tgods belt, for Pul/Gul level rune.
Ravenfrost, Dwarf star, Aldur's boots for some PGems.
Somehow managed to get a 17/12 amazon torch for 1 Vex.

Think you might have gotten screwed on the vex. If it isn't a sorc or pally torch they aren't crazy expensive.

Doesn't bother me. I seem to find Vex runes pretty readily.

Playing single player as a hammerdin. Got a Pul last week and a Vex today, made a Heart of Oak. Got a 4os Colossus Voulge today and made an Insight, tripled my merc's damage.

If I can get a 5os poleaxe I can make an Obedience, have the runes. It's been a good day!

Holy **** I'm dieing. Brings back lots of memories.

Lots of new runewords being shown from the upcoming 2.4 patch. A couple of them could lead to some fun builds.

2.4 PTR patch notes!

Unless the patch notes say... increase drop rate by 10x I will be underwhelmed.

None of this crap matters as the runes are so hard to get. 1000s of runs to get nothing.

Probably will still play but I top out quick at launch and just got tired of loading TRAV over and over.... for the 100th time in my life.

Trav is not the place to farm high runes. LK runs are by far better. Even hell cows will be better than trav. Runes are not effected by magic find so quantity beats all.
