Random disconnect during Azmodan gogo!



First DC death... oh well.

love the enchantress charmed one about to knock off 20% of the main one's health

Siiiiiiiiiiighh. Second death by coaxial cable last night. I'm getting so frustrated with my ISP... nothing more one can do than fight well with a strong Hero, making baby steps and minimal pulls, and quickly destroying the <5 targets pulled. Nope, still drop fighting 2 angels and a morlu. Lag never even caught up this time for a screenshot; it just kicked me out of the game with a full health orb to a ghost at the main menu.

I may have to stop almost all post-normal difficulty combat for a few months til I can move far away from this shithole... or just burden co-op friends with the task of trying to save me every time my tubes make me stand still for 10-15 seconds. I locally drop connection 2-3 times throughout a good day playing and mebbe 6-10 times on a bad day. It's kinda a wonder I made it to 60, heh

[djzombie]

i would have run.

everyone im sure saw the first hc inferno clear? and in the ultimate of trolls, 3 blues and a level 50 rare ring between the two of them for killing inferno hc diablo. gg blizz. you just had to know that shit was gonna happen. why does that shit have to be completely random, why can't it be intelligently randomized instead. like on inferno you only get level 60-63 gear. and when a level 62 2 handed weapon drops instead of having a random fuckin range from 0-1200, could we get a little more consistent than that when we're talking about equipment thats supposedly the best?

why does that remind of the first av kill that only dropped a fire crystal.

i did watch that whole video though, made me want to start a hardcore character of my own, probably a wizard, looks like they get some really cool spells. i dont really like the demon hunter that much, i find it pretty boring to play because you either do so much damage you crush anything in your path, or you fold instantly like a chair the first time you get hit, and witch doctor looks really cool, but it looks boring to play.

FLECHIE NUUUUU!!!!!!

[Roranora]

it's okay; i played a little bit this morning. i figured my tubes were still super gross mode instead of just usual gross mode. I log on my pre-req softcore Hero and lay waste.. until I disconnect. Oh, okay, 1219 gold. I find myself not irate, but also not content. Hmph.

wru move

[Plow]

man there's a fiber optic cable right there... 1/2 mile away... right on the corner... so close... but I can't find any information about whose it even is ><


also you should just play softcore and make enough $$$ for a better place! rofl

[Syntex]

Trying to figure out how to progress in HC A1 inferno.

Things hit too hard and I'm not even to skeleton king.

I feel like farming hell is a waste but I shouldn't be getting hit for so much with my gear. 500 all res 40k hp 3k dps. I could use a better weapon but still won't fix champs that bring be down between revenge uses.

Any ideas?

baby steps my friend, baby steps

Question is should I be somewhere outside of inferno trying to gear up or just take A1 really really slow.

Someone mentioned A3 hell heart of sin runs but I don't think I'll get anything amazing there though.

[r4ptur3]

A3 hell is where it's at. 3K DPS seems awfully low, even for barb. Farm A3 hell ... use money to buy good gear. The trick is taking them out before they take you down. If you kill too slow you are not gonna make it.

[Plow]

my level 50 softcore barb has 3x that dps with a 500 dps weapon, what the hell >.>

and yeah inferno a1 with 40k hp 500 all res you should only be threatened by the toughest champ packs, but with 3k dps it's going to be damn hard to actually kill anything

[aurik]

With 3k dps you'll probably have enrage problems.

Currently at 53k hp ~190 resist, 3.1k armor as WD with 14k dps and I am still running A3. Almost ready myself, but I want to wait for other folks to be ready too so that when we make the jump we do so as a team.

[Plow]

shouldn't hell ponies be pretty damn good for you guys? maybe a bit dangerous but it's substantially better loot than a3 and safer than a4 isn't it?

[aurik]

I'm not sure the loot is substantially better than the mobs of end-of-a3, as they're all mlvl 60 (but certainly ponies are less dangerous than A4 mobs, ability-wise). Nonetheless, I think it's an interesting idea. If some people want to explore it, I have the the nightmare staff and funds to upgrade it ready to go.

The plan would be to hit up forlorn woods for a quick 5-stack of NV then clear out ponies, rinse repeat a few times. Would definitely give us a break from A3 Siegebreaker-to-Azmodan

PS. Just tested out some inferno mobs and a single risen right outside Tristram still hit me for over 7k

I have the money now. I don't know why I feel the affinity to my company to at least work on transferring me for a few patient months, but I do. However, job-search-game-face mode will be here within only a couple months. Then I'm coming for the Pacific Northwest and yummy tubes.

I want Inferno HC glory so badly, and I'm tired of local disconnects for sure. I've told Aurik/Euph/others I think our HC group from BG alone is going to tear up A4I eventually.

This is mostly due to almost every item I own being blue and if it has a 2nd stat its vitality.

I bought a 280k 1hander that was like 550dps and 199vit on it which was a vit loss of like 30 but did make a huge difference. Sitting at like 4.8k dps now.

I am making progress though. Just upgraded the BS to level 10 and I'm gonna start crafting like a madman while I slowly get a level 60 blue here and there.

I keep running into shitty champ packs tho. I think I might just roll with quake and WOTB instead of just wrath and try to burn them down. Should be doable but I don't like the idea of dropping leap, furious charge, or revenge to get it in there.

[SnickySnacks]

Pfff. Friggin' rubberbanded into a group of frost/arcane guys on rakki's crossing and couldn't get out. Spirit vessel kicks in and an arcane laser fries me as I get out of there. oh well. At least I got 60 before I died.

[aurik]

Did inferno progression for the first time, did well, got all the way to the end of the spider cavern...then ran into some vortex fast molten horde spiderlings. Wottles died and I managed to escape... Back to farming A3/A4 for a bit to get Wottles re-geared!
