Random Complaint Thread

Things are a little better for me in act 2 as I feel like I at least have a fighting chance. My DPS or something may be holding me up a bit but I've been able to get through some of the quests without getting wtfraped. Also, this has to be a bug. Check out the DPS loss from equipping my shield...

So, everybody knows now that dual wielding alternates between hands with each attack, right?

Well, what happens is, if it's your offhand's turn to attack, and you look at what changes if you add a shield or quiver or whatever, the game doesn't have the presence of mind to say "oh that would turn off dual wielding and go to normal, so here's the dps change if you do that."

It just thinks you're going to put on a shield and swing it at shit, lol.


It's actually somewhat useful, you can compare how big of a difference you're getting between hands by shooting/swinging/whatever once to look at the other hand's dps.

I would forgive one random d3 problem it they let this happen. Double shield builds were the best demon souls builds.

They should make a Barb passive that makes shields function as a weapons, doing a % of their (Or maybe your?) armor value as damage, using the block chance to determine attack speed. Be awesome, and make tank barbs more fun/viable.

I lol'ed.

[Darkmagi]

lol'd a bit too hard at that.

3x iLv52-55 dropping in inferno act3 off of this 1 elite pack ;( I don't understand their thought process when they do some of these things.

[kisada]

it's "hi, player. i'm going to go out of my way to fuck you."

Does anyone know what's the point in naming your characters?

[Tohmane]

You get to see a custom name during quest dialogue and when opening your character screen!

I really do hate that my battle tag is what floats over my head, regardless of what character/gender/etc. I'm currently playing.

I prefer it. It's mostly meaningless in this game, but in a MMO it would be fantastic. Remembering every goobers alts name is bloody annoying.

Pretty much this. I like everything under 1 name. One of my favorite things about XI.

I know the character names of my friends characters since when you view their profile you view their characters by name.

Decided to give weapon crafting a go, 1.5m for recipe and ~1.5m worth of mats and crafting fee later I have 6 axes and not a single one worth more than salvaging.

Best part was when I saw they were lv 62 I was talking to a friend and was like "well shit that means I'm going to have to get like life on hit + socket to even make any money at all..."

And then the first one I made was 250 dps, 120 life on hit and a socket. So very, very trolled.

I tried the crafting early on, spent about 500k or so, realized that "crafting" was total crap. In a game where things are random and the AH is the leading focus, it's almost silly to use the crafting system unless you have loads of gold. It's a gambling system (perhaps similar to D2) but in any event, it's poor. That 500k I spent would have certainly gotten me something from the AH that I knew was worth the gold. Very dissatisfied with the crafting system.

Well, if you get the 6 prop recipes for *ARMOR*, you can make some really, really good shit.

6 prop weapons, however... I have yet to hit even 600 dps with one, though I am getting some beastly stats on them. (tons of 100str100dex100vit)

[Odon]

That's because its worthless to craft weapons. SHOULDA ASKED DAWG

[Plow]

I had heard it wasn't very profitable, I just didn't think it would be straight throwing money away ; ;

[Iku]

5 props plan should make you some decent money.

[Boyiee]

5 props plan should make you some decent money.

I've had 5prop gloves for a long time, they rarely roll better than worth 100k. The market is flooded though with gloves, so something like chest may make decent money.
