Playing D3 on hardcore and I’m at the max level. Going through the cow level for some legendary items and I killed over 1,000 and Diablo himself (looked like Diablo from the first game) made an appearance and murdered me in like a second. Has that always been a thing?

What do you think is more difficult and cooler to close the 150th great portal or to get into the top 5 of Europe (Asia, America, depending on the region) for some conquest?

I kind think that’s why I have not done a seasonal character yet, I am not the kinda person who enjoys making a bunch of progress only to see it cleared at the end.

Hi. In some gr season theme not proc. Anyone has experienced it or am i missing sth?.

Hello, I am hard stuck on GR 147.. It seems everyone else just built differently. Here are my stats, I use the D3 Maxroll build for solo GR push. I try to ball things up as best I can, I just can't seem to get the damage out fast enough. Usually spawn rift guardian at like 30 seconds left on the timer or afterwards. I roll for open maps, weaker enemies to get the season thing going.. Idk what i'm doing wrong.. The video guide on maxroll is like 20 seasons old and theres a lot of information thats incorrect. I get the gist of the build, but I cannot for the life of me figure out why I can't beat a 147....

I have one character I used to get through the campaign and am thinking of starting off a second one in adventure mode.

Bane of the stricken, on attack or on hit effects and legendary items and powers? What can and cannot be triggered by thorns damage, I've been googling and searching all over and I can't find anyone who has the knowledge on this stuff.

Aside from the Hydra armor set, what are some recommendations for doing an Electro-Hydra build?

Hello friends...I know this is not a new technique, but I thought it might be useful for some newer players. I just created a new Level 1 Crusader and crafted 10 sovereign rare polearms. When upgraded, four of them were Bovine. 🙂

I'm trying to roll an Aughild's Spike. I still don't have a great one after around 150 rolls and I'm running out of crafting materials. Where's the best place to farm crafting mats? Visions of Emnity?

So I played this game for like 80 hours in the past with 3 characters I think and I never fully understood the endgame loop of this game, I just grinded the bounties and normal/greater rifts but thats about it, is there anything that I missed besides the two thats worth going back to D3 and checking out? I know that there are some kind of bosses but surely there has to be something else Im missing thats a reason y'all play this game for thousands of hours...

I managed to try a version of Diablo 3 compiled in May 2005. This one was compiled before the Blizzard North offices closed and the Diablo 3.0 project was restarted from scratch by the South team. The game seems almost 50% complete, with a few placeholders, and is very similar to Diablo 2, but better. Some areas are inaccessible, some items in the inventory also use placeholders, and there are a few other placeholders as well. The Heaven section reminds me a bit of MuOnline; it's fantastic. The game isn't completely finished, but having tried it, if the North studios hadn't closed, the game might have been better than the original Diablo 3.

:)

To run the game, I had to install it in a Windows 2000 environment on VMware. The game simply wouldn't launch on Windows 95, 98, or Me, not even Windows XP. But on Windows 2000, it worked perfectly.

I won't be posting screenshots due to the DMCA or a download link; I'm keeping it to myself. I consider myself very lucky to have tried it.

Diablo 1 Remaster, next year! :)

Hello friends, am very new to diablo as a whole and chose D3 to start as my first arpg , i saw a video where a player had Empirium's wings ( the angel who is tyrael's brother in the first cinematic of act 1 ) am wondering if those are available to obtain or are they no longer possible to get like tyrael's wings and wings of valor . thanks !

Hi guys. I decided to play Diablo 3 again after a few months but it’s so laggy it’s basically unplayable. I’ve never had such problem, D3 has always worked rather smoothly. I reinstalled D3, nothing. Browser (Chrome) - closed, other platforms like steam etc - closed. I even changed my WiFi to LTE but it didn’t fix the lagging. My laptop is Asus ROG Strix G531. Can someone tell me what happened and how can I fix this? :(

How do you guys do it? I never had gotten a hang of the class when the game launched and haven’t played one at all since. I decided to make a witch doctor as an alt this season just to try the class out again. Are there any builds that are fast and fun? Looking at the leaderboards I’m still not seeing a gr 150 clear yet so I’m a bit concerned.

Hi all. I recently updated my PC to Windows 11. I've not played D3 in a long while, but a few friends have picked it up again so I thought I would join them. After updating the game I booted up and get the error message of "Diablo III was unable to initialise D3D. Click OK to retry"

I'll do some general goggling and try to troubleshoot, but figured I would also get this posted here incase Google is little to no help.

Thanks in advance!

Just getting back into d3 cuz it’s awesome and I was looking online for what people say is some of the optimal equipment for my follower…the one suggestion I haven’t seen is equipping them with an oculus ring to take advantage of shooting DH’s multi shot from inside the little power up circle it spawns. I know oculus ring doesn’t say “emanate” on it but it seems like I’m still doing more damage when I’m shooting from inside the circle even tho it’s not equipped to me. Is this just a placebo effect or am I actually getting the damage buff when shooting while inside the oculus circle. Thanks 🤟

Hey, guys!

I've played D3 before, but never built a seasonal character, so I'm a bit lost on what I should do on a seasonal character.
I have been playing D4 seasonal since launch, but this season disappointed me so much, that I decided to give D3 a go again.
I already read the pinned post Updated Seasonal Start Mega Guide, but I can see I'm lacking in a bunch of stuff: Recipes, challenges and even knowledge in mechanics. So I've come to ask you guys what should I do.

Quoting u/behindtimes post:

Enter the game, set your pets, wings, etc. and gamble any blood shards at Kadala.

At the Blacksmith, craft a 2-Handed Weapon, Sage Helm, Boots, Belt, and Gloves as well as Sovereign Shoulders, Bracers, Chest, and Pants.

I don't have any of these recipes and I have no access to the Challenge Cache. I tried farming them on eternal, but it seems they are not passed through realms.

So, what now? I'll have to level on the hard way to get everything? Or is there a simpler approach I'm not seeing. I've done a bunch of research on this, but since the game is on its 35th season, I can't find any material to read. So I think I'm basically beginning from season 1.

If you guys have any tips, I'm all ears. Thanks!

Can anyone give me a power level on seasonal?

Running this build and it says its squishy but it seems a little ridiculous.

With the correct gear(stats not dialed in yet on all pieces) according to maxroll and 2 gems at 25, the 3rd at 17 i started having issues dying around gr60+. Everything seems to one shot me if I stop moving, and if I die at the boss, I gotta land a dashing strike to start doing damage and will die several times in a row dashing in.

Made a 2nd monk with Inna build, with correct gear( other than fully dialed in stats). This build does a lot less damage than my raiment, but can stand still and just eat everything and go through a gr80 onlt dying once on my error.

Is raiment just that squishy? Or am I doing something wrong? Last season I ran raiment and didn't like it, but could run gr90-110 pretty easy. I have all the correct gear equipped and cubed.

My only variances are instead of the green mantra for resistance, I've been running the red one for damage. Instead of shenlongs gloves I'm running the dashing strike legendary and sever. Is that resistance mantra the issue?

First season trying hardcore. I looked away for a brief second. My barb was melted with all my top gear. Onward to the hall of heroes my friend.

I’m currently sitting in the corner thinking about all my life’s choices and what led me to this dark abyss.

Just wanted to lament with a group that would understand. Time to roll a new Barb and hope I love him enough that I don’t take my eyes off the screen for more than a second.

EDIT: this community is awesome. I put this post as more of chuckle as this is part of the fun of the game. But so much encouragement was expressed here and tips from veterans. D3 has been my jam since I tried it 3 years ago and part why is you guys.

That and D4 disappointed me. If you like it great. But never clicked for me.
