Consider my question answered.

About half way through nightmare. It's even more fun on harder difficulties! Been playing a lot of co-op too. Just jumping into random games.

Definitely. I just got to Nightmare with my second character (Monk). The difference between Nightmare and Normal (just like in the previous games) is huge. With all the modernizations done to Diablo 3, Im surprised Blizzard didn't let you skip normal on your second play through. Something like, letting you start at level 28-32 with average to sub par equipment.

Nightmare is also where you get enough runes to start making some interesting builds. Last week I fully rebuilt my Wizard as a melee attacker. Spectral blades, and energy armor 'n' stuff. It's holding up pretty well so far. Im doing way WAY more damage than with my ranged spells. But sadly at the cost of less AOE. So Im not yet sure if it's a keeper or not.

Even though I like the game I can't seem to make a single post about it without shitting on it a little (what the fuck is wrong with me?). Here we go...

Link, Uncle Blackie or anyone else. Thoughts on the Real Money Auction House?

I haven't tried it and I don't want to. Having enough fun trying to buy crap with gold...

Beat nightmare this morning and now onto hell and my god... shit gets really real.

Right now prices are pretty crazy. But that might be because people haven't gotten an idea what stuff should be worth yet. Might even out in a couple of weeks.

Yeah, the value of gold's not coming back any time soon. I can get behind the idea of either Auction House, but having both just seems like a bad idea. Getting a good balance where both houses are equally good is pretty much impossible. You'll get the good AH and the shitty AH. If they wanted to include real money, couldn't the real auction house have been gold only? In other words, you trade real money for in game currency. That way everyone can bid on the same items.

@Link. Wait, we're not on different servers? We should definitely play. I'm still on Nightmare with both my characters. I don't have a solo character (yet) so leveling has been progressing slowly.

@Mr Black. Can't wait 'til I get to Hell.

Rare/champion enemies are ridiculously hard. Especially for my barbarian character as they typically have the fire/lava/poison ability that just eats away your health if you're up close (even though I made an extremely defensive character build). The funny thing is though the Skeleton King on hell is incredibly easy. He just has a lot of health.

Debating about taking a break from the game for a bit. I need to finish Skyrim/start playing MGS3.

patch just came out that should make things easier on inferno anyways.

if anyone wants to add me: Legotoadeto#1650

I'll add you Legotoadeto when I get home late tonight. Need people to play through Hell with me. It's kicking my ass pretty hard...

I haven't touched the game in a month. Was trying to play on Hell but kept getting matched with idiots and really was getting tired of dying over and over and over. I'll get back into it eventually but not sure if I want to suffer the pain of Inferno...

I jumped on Diablo late last week to hit up the auction house for a good DPS weapon and armour to help me out in Hell.

I also found out during the Blizzard hack someone did get a hold of my email information. Thankfully I changed my password so they couldn't do shit. Changed my email too now but I've already been hit with a phishing attempt I had to bring to Blizzard's attention... ugh...
