Kinda scary, I think I am going to go change all my passwords today lol.
Pretty sure he said from fan based web-sites not blizzard. Also people that are silly enough to use the same email/password for everything is a open invite sign saying take my stuff. Not to mention the only reason the person even came forward is because they aren't making the profit they want. Think he said there was like what 10 thousand other "hackers" doing basically the same thing to some extent so why not try to get rid of the less skilled ones.
If anyone wants to farm inferno ponyland could use a partner/party.
Don't feel like dumping gold into barb for it so been using DH but getting one shotted from anything that moves gets old. Little room for error blah blah but if anyone wants to run for gear hit me up.
*edit* Also liked the BS he said about being a fan of the game LoL.

Yeah I have a love/hate relationship with barb in inferno. All 4 act bosses I lag on also so yay me... Had to gear for max dps and just wack away until I died and then get raised repeat. Basically stick to the few places I don't lag in but no real good farming spots short of ponyland and I don't have the gear for it to be effective yet.

So once you get the staff of herding you don't need to get it again? You can keep going back to Whimsyshire every game?
Does everyone in your party need it, or just one person to open it? just 1

Not every game. It's treated just like a dungeon so you have to leave game and resume to reset it if you cleared it.
And yea, only 1 person in your party needs to have it.

Yeah only one person needs the staff for everyone who joins party to enter. Found it out one night while farming it on Nightmare I think and I guess I opened game to public. Bunch of random 30's started joining and I didn't mind so I let them stay. Was good for laughs watching them get one shotted. I just like the area because its one of the few places I don't lag at least from a cpu/graphic standpoint. Just annoying to solo on inferno kiting etc and like I said only takes 1 hit on my DH atm to die. Which just entering is usually good for a death because 90% of the time there are mobs where you zone in even worse if a elite pack is there but that is rare.

If there's an elite pack on entrance I just leave. When you have high enough DPS you can easily take trash on entrance, just throw down a caltrops and tentacle them to death (giggity)

I need a Wizard's Guide of: How Not To Die. I just finished Normal as 30 wizard and I died quite a few times getting there. I usually play with 1 barbarian.
Wizard is pretty faceroll up until inferno.. at least for me it is.
Just spend like a good maybe 20-30k on the ah (mainly on a high dps wep) and its a cake walk.
I usually ran ice skin, hydra, desinagrate. Doesnt really matter what you use other than that til prolly hell.
Venom hydra for bosses, some elite that might give u trouble, arcane hydra for trash.
Also i always stacked life regen, by the time I was at hell I had over 1k life regen using Armor Passive. I cant say whether or not that's the best since im pretty new to the game myself but it sure works for me. If I almost die i just Put ice skin up and run away for a few seconds and back to full hp.
Once u get to hell, i would say Act II, u may have to start using the cookie cutter blizzard, hydra combo. I hate blizzard with a passion personally so i try not to use it, its a great spell but i just dont like it. I like to blow things up before they get to me so I try to stick with Archon/disenigrate. Like i said if u can get a good enough wep/life regen u can make that work until inferno. Once in inferno is pretty much based of how much gear u have etc etc, I even have a friend that makes spectral blades work but he is super geared.(not using the force armor glitch)

Pretty much... people are dumbfucks >_< If things get posted on ownedcore, despite the fact that we know blizzard looks at that site, it takes forever to get patched. However if it gets posted on the main site it gets nerfed like instantly I'm glad people do that, they are actually intelligent and not stupid at all. Exploits, bugs, hacks, etc do not belong in any AAA video game, or any video game at all for that matter.
I hope blizzard continues this and cracks down even harder on all these botting gold farmers, exploiters, etc. Hopefully a complete server reset/ladder system is added before the RMAH comes, or shortly after.

I agree it's nice that things get fixed but that's generally not that issue. It's usually after things are fixed and the people that didn't know about certain exploits etc are left even further behind. Sure down the road it tends to balance out some but not at first. It was like FFxi at the start. People sitting on max gil etc that didn't get banned. And that inflation period whenever it was 05-06ish. I remember selling SH+1's for 30-40 mil a pop. Makes it hard for newer people to "catch up".
It's like all the praise these guys like kripp and athene get. Sure it's cool to see super gear'd characters destroy things until you realize they cheat. Even then most people don't care. "Oh it's cool they got first world kill let them do what they want." But then the same people want inferno nerfed, bugs and exploits fixed, farm spots nerfed etc and believe they will somehow play at that level without putting in some serious work.
Then you have the trolls. That post all this crap on blizzard forums for the sole purpose of getting crapped nerfed. OMG wizard is so OP inc nerf. Then starts the whole everyone reroll and play this job instead. Sounds familar...
It's never ending and no one will ever be 100% happy. Sure it's nice in theory but it never works out that way, sucks but pure fact. Would rather they just get the game working right. Server lag, AH, drop quality, etc. Should get real entertaining tomorrow if RMAH opens.

Server lag, AH, drop quality, etc. Should get real entertaining tomorrow if RMAH opens. That's why I hope they do a complete reset, or add a ladder system VERY VERY VERY soon. D2 had a ladder system with resets every few months, ladder had special ladder only drops/runewords, and after the reset you didn't lose your char, it just got changed to "non-ladder".
Also, Kripp must be a literal psycho, same with his friends. He kills the same goblin in the same act for WEEKS farming gear, how exactly is that fun AT ALL? You have to be completely crazy to find that "fun". These people are MLGing diablo3 up like it's some kind of competitive game. Here's a hint for these people: You died in HC already, you lost the MLG tournament. They're basically try harding after losing a tournament. What is the point of turning diablo3 into some hardcore competition? Crazy people..
Literally the entire point of a Diablo game is finding loot, finding upgrades, finding cool/good items, etc. Why would you exploit/cheat to make it FASTER to find said loot, making it so you "beat" the game and have nothing to do? Completely ruins the game - which is also why I don't use the AH at all. I'm in inferno act4(I hate it, I refuse to do inferno anymore until 1.03 so w/e) and can't believe these people who turn this into some competition.

I farmed A2 Ancient Path goblin for like 3 or 4 days straight. It's actually fun when you have other things going on like watching a TV show or streaming to 100+ people (or in Kripp's case, much more..)

Yeah a reset would be nice but I don't see it happening. Even more so with everyone wanting to make cash off the RMAH. Youtube would blow up from all these farmers raging lol.
Gear grinding is boring but everyone will prolly hit that wall at some point until new content is dropped. He is crazy though if he is saying it's fun. Other than the fact that his group is going to make some cash off the RMAH I am sure.

See I have no problem with certain things being farmed. But exploits and what not yea sure they need to be fixed. But farm spots? Jesus the rares suck enough as is, now we have to farm places that barely drop rares, and have ***luck on them being good.

Blizzard does not want you spam farming 1 thing and resetting the game, it's boring gameplay and not what they intend. They want you to farm elites with 5 stacks of NV, which will be a lot better next patch with better drops + 100% drop rate on rares from elites with 5/5 NV.
If you find killing a defenseless goblin, some easy non-changing boss fun, or opening chests fun, I don't know what to tell you. It isn't, the normal person will not enjoy this. Farming entire acts/zones and finding random events/goblins/chests, killing tons of mobs, random mod elites, random mobs(sometimes), random rare mobs, etc is much more exciting and fun. I am glad Blizzard agrees.
Also, to the 100+ people watching someone kill a defenseless goblin for 4+ hours? They are more crazy than Kripp. They should be checked into a mental hospital tbh, I don't understand how anyone watches someone farm in D3 at all, let alone watch them farm a GOBLIN THAT DOESN'T FIGHT BACK FOR HOURS AND HOURS. Seriously, what the hell? Are they going to go watch the paint dry on a wall next week?
By volkom 2012-06-11 12:54:06
well.. If you can go 5/5 NV and kill warden&butcher in inferno in about 15~20min and walk away with 250k+ why bother currently atm?

Problem with Diablo 3 is they're nerfing too much, and with too wide a bat. They're hitting legit players to stop the illegitimate.
Its nice they want us to farm entire acts, But nerfing anything that doesn't fall in line with their vision of how they want us to play eventually creates a dull game.
Also, Wanting us to farm entire acts is nice, But making us repeat the tedious terrible written storyline just to simply farm is a dumb decision. Removing a free-roam play style that Diablo II had (Being able to access any Act, any zone once you beat the Difficulty) was also dumb. That and you can't even travel across acts without leaving the game and setting your quest on the act.
Also there's the whole, Switching acts removes Neph. Valor.
I made this thread for it to be about strategy, questions, helpful info, etc. for Diablo 3.
Continuing from this thread So..Diablo 3 anyone? ( Thanks Ravenlokk)
