Look forward to it. New weapons and things in the black market now. I had saved up about 260 cryptokeys and went on a spree last night. Got the Garand which is one of many favorites now.

Man.. for as much as I read up on that stupid game when I'm bored, I never was tipped off that they were going to add new weapons or I would've saved up. Two people I play with got new weapons. I just keep getting "dust" camo's or similar.

edit: Did you buy the 30 key or 10 key supply crates? I'm struggling to figure out which is more economical.

KL-EO (sp?) in Goodneighbor usually has some for sale.

Came across goodneighbor some time ago and never explored it because I wanted to kill all the raiders at the encampment nearby. Working my way back to it now but keep getting distracted.

Bethesda did an update that now lets us build workbenches in diamond city house. Yay! That BS was the only reason I even bothered with supply lines.

Honestly, I don't keep up. I have 17yo twin boys that keep me updated. They came home last night and told me there were new weapons and specialist camo. I just happened to have not used any since before the last double XP weekend so we sat there and blew them all. Based on their advice, I always get the 30 key crates. You usually get at least 1 rare or elite (whatever it's called), if not more. Those give you cryptokey bonuses so the 'price' goes down. I didn't get any other weapons but got a Jester head for the robot guy and Poison Frog camo for Ruin.

The Garand shoots/kills like the FAL in MW2, essential 2 shots. They offset the power by not allowing you to reload until the 8 bullet clip is depleted. If I had 1 or 2 bullets left, I would just shoot them so it would reload.

That sounds pretty awesome. Hope I score a few items to play around with before I get bored with the game. Just saw a video about a special weapon they added. It's a 1 handed crossbow, fires silently so doesn't show up on the map, one hit kills and can be dual wielded. Wtf mate?

I encountered one last night. I watched the killcam and didn't know what the heck it was. I can vouch for the one hit kill.

Currently using a LG G930 wireless headset, but the battery on it is junk. It needs to be constantly plugged in via USB. I get about 3 minutes of battery life now, and I've only been using it about 3 months. It was purchased online while I was in Nunavut, and I can't find it in my purchase history of Ebay or Amazon, so I'm not sure where I got it.

So I'm currently looking for recommendations on a new headset. Musts:

Wireless.
I want to be able to hear where somebody is relative to my position. If you're running circles around me, I want to be able to know where you are. Not sure what that's called.
Mutable microphone.
Comfortable on the ears. Must be able to be comfortably worn all day and/or night.
Battery life should last several hours.

If you've got a good experience with a gaming headset, I'd like to hear it!

Sony Gold Wireless

This is by far the best headset I've ever used. Not sure if it fits your application. I know I've plugged it into my PC and been blown away. Virtual surround sound. Most comfortable headset I've ever tried. Noise cancelling, I can barely hear myself talk when I have them on. They are amazing.

Unhallowed multishot. You should follow this guide:

http://www.icy-veins.com/d3/demon-hunter-multishot-fire-build-with-yangs-recurve-patch-2-4

Was using a build I saw on Youtube. I switched to this build (only minor tweaks in skills and gems, really), and was able to do Grift 53 with 2 minutes to spare.

Currently trying to reforge my legendaries to Ancients, and gambling for set ancients from Kadala, hoping this'll improve what I've got.

EDIT: Friend and I using the same build did a Grift 58 together with 3 seconds to spare. It was a close thing.

How the hell am I meant to solo an 80?

I ended up getting the two handed sword yesterday....looks cool but useless (at least for me i'm not very good at this game)

I got up early this morning and trimmed some fun Black Ops clips. Will upload them tonight if all goes well and either make a fun montage or a few funky gifs to share.

I prefer wired myself, but if you're set on wireless, I'd get these:

Can you link your profile? I'll see if I can offer any suggestions. My main non-seasonal character is a DH who is pretty well geared (though slightly outdated)

Thanks for the links on the headsets. I'll shop and compare those with the rest.

As for the profile link, here you go.

Testing out gif maker on an old video from Advanced Warfare, looking forward to making a couple out of the new Black Ops 3 clips I have.

My ball *******... I love uplink. Too bad its nearly impossible to find a lobby in BO3.

 

[Rhetorik]

^Slow it down a tad, it's a bit too fast

I loved advanced warfare... too bad it was impossible to find lobbies of ANYTHING

 

[TheCADJockey]

^Slow it down a tad, it's a bit too fast

I didn't change the speed. It did that to itself after uploaded apparently. The best thing I've found for making them so far is to just add "gif" in front of the word youtube on a video. Every other tool seems to be really finicky with formats and urls they accept.

 

[Venari]

Switched to Cindercoat in the cube. Figure more Multishot spam will mean more damage. Just need to not get hit, which is the idea anyways, right?

 

[TheCADJockey]

Hooked up my computer at home. Downloading Diablo patch. Will see if she can run with a dying fan or if it just melts.

 

[TheCADJockey]

Did anyone make a D3 HBT clan yet on PC? And why not?

 

[Venari]

To the best of my knowledge it's only myself, rhetorik, drunkle, and now you. It would be a small clan.

Also, find your BattleNet tag and post it here. Or pm me the email address you use with blizzard and we'll get a few games going!

 

[TheCADJockey]

My tag is Pariias#1451 but I haven't been on PC in years. Had to start fresh pretty much so still have few levels before max.

 

[TheCADJockey]

So Diablo was a tad choppy on PC, I jumped in and started playing while it was still completing the patches so it would window out now and then and ask me something stupid. I wasn't concerned though since I didn't make hardcore this time, only started it up so could funk around with you guys some night if interested. It was interesting playing on PC again after being on PS4 for so long, there are noticeable differences. I realize I definitely appreciate the PS4 controller now. It's done so well, it just flows way easier than key/mouse. PC on the other hand, seems to have a few additional updates like increased monster density and a few little bonus areas related to bounties that didn't make it to console.. unless it is just the seasonal aspect, since we didn't get that. Clicking on bodies/tiles/traps to activate is really strange as well as holding a key to stop and attack. Not big things, just interesting to notice the differences now.

Started a barbarian since nobody else here was really talking about that class and it's the only class in all these years I haven't put time into other than leveling. Once everything was updated and before the puppy started trying to eat me, I played for 2 hours and only made it to level 55. Wasn't rushing, just kinda enjoying the updated game on PC for first time in a long time. Next time I'm on, I'll get some paragon levels and work into Torment.

 

[Venari]

If you have some lvl 70 friends (like you do here) you can get a lvl 70 inside of 45 minutes. All it takes is 3 rifts at torment 6, scaled to the 70s level.

After that it's just a matter of using those friends to find gear. Or starting in Hard and getting it yourself.

Having played the ps3 and pc version, I find I prefer the pc. I like the level of customized control you can have. Once I get out of bed I'll see if I can find the stutterstep video for you

 

[TheCADJockey]

I know how to do all that stuff. Everyone here keeps trying to teach me things, I know what I'm doing I'd actually prefer to not be powerleveled. Starting the game fresh was the biggest reason to switch back to PC. Getting to play with you guys at some point is just added bonus.

Looking forward to trying a Raekor barbarian. Really love furious charge. Anyone playing a LON build?

 

[TheCADJockey]

Once I get out of bed...

Wait a minute... You're still in bed? You had better be sick!

 

[Venari]

Wait a minute... You're still in bed? You had better be sick!

Just lazy. I'm trying a LoN build on my monk, but finding the right ancient gear is hard. I hear a thorns LoN build on a crusader is deadly.

 

[TheCADJockey]

Put together a few clips from last weekend when I was funking around on Black Ops.

 

[TheCADJockey]

In case you don't want to watch the video, this was my favorite shot.

What type of fan? Case, CPU, or GPU? Cuz if it's either of the first two you can buy a replacement for very cheap.

I'll add you tonight when I'm home. I'm Dribbles#1490

 

[TheCADJockey]

Yeah I don't know. It's the big CoolerMaster fan in the middle of the case. There's a fan on each side of it, one of them makes a nasty sound.. assuming bearings are going or some ****. If it was a normal fan, I would've replaced it years ago.
