Get the new Nvidia drivers and turn on ambient occlusion. Check out the comparison. Adds some depth and shadows. http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/articles/enhance-diablo-iii-with-advanced-ambient-occlusion-shadowing/

Is there a way to log in automatically and not have to put in your password every time? I am not worried about someone playing on my computer since I am the only one who uses it. I mean, it is a computer game, not my bank account...
5/22/2012 1:23:47 PM
Sweet, can I have your login? Blizzard games are notorious for being targeted for account hacking. In addition to not having your password saved (you can't anyway) I'd recommend getting the free Authenticator app for your phone or buy an Authenticator.
5/22/2012 2:16:53 PM
yea real money auction house will only make that more of an issue.speaking of, it'll be interesting to see what kind of economy takes shape there. i'm hoping it doesn't kill the other AH, because i've been enjoying finding good stuff on there heh.
5/22/2012 2:26:10 PM
Yeah blizzard should have known once you include a real money AH the hackers and account thieves would be out in full force. Not only that, but botting is always going to be attempted and this makes it even more of a desire. I really hope blizzard can control that otherwise the economy is going to crumble and in the end it will be a game full of people in the best gear possible because they bought it all for $3 from a chinese farmer.
5/22/2012 2:38:39 PM
uhhh, I think that's the entire reason why it's online-only.
5/22/2012 2:45:27 PM
not to mention that only ruins your fun if you use it. i personally don't use the AH at all since the entire fun to me is finding the loot (otherwise the game takes next to no time to beat). sure, i'll trade with friends, but I'm not actively looking to make my search for phat lewtz easy.[Edited on May 22, 2012 at 3:03 PM. Reason : plus showing off doesnt mean much in a game with 4 player max]

I got my first Legendary drop last night. Its a Pretty awesome Hand-axe dubbed 'Flesh Tearer'.http://us.battle.net/d3/en/item/flesh-tearer[Edited on May 22, 2012 at 4:15 PM. Reason : /]

5/22/2012 4:32:06 PM
ay yo lemme hold dat axe
5/22/2012 4:44:11 PM
so are more people playing this solo or co-op? I wanna get it, but I'm prolly only gonna get it if one of my friends who also likes playing these types of games gets it because I just don't see me playing it multiple times through by myself.
5/22/2012 5:48:17 PM
I got a low level legendary in like Act 3 normal...http://us.battle.net/d3/en/item/frostburn-gauntletsOnly equipped them for the achievement cause they are pretty terrible. The ones I got have the +mana skill, so only good I guess for a WD.
5/22/2012 6:26:36 PM
I installed the new GeForce drivers, but I did not activate the ambient occlusion or the FXAA yet. Has anyone done so and how many FPS did you sacrifice? It doesn't make the game look good enough (or makes anough difference in visual quality for me) to warrant a major drop in FPS (-15+ frames), and the game runs fine on my machine just the way it is, but I'll test it out later.Unless you get lucky like I did, you almost always find Legendary items that are good only for a much lower level than the level you are at when you find the item. I was level 48 and found the level 47 Legendary axe it its pretty good me even now at level 52.[Edited on May 22, 2012 at 7:32 PM. Reason : /]

When an auction item sells and you send the money to your stash, does it just automatically go to your player's bank account or is there a way to take it out of the stash? I've sold some things and just assumed that it was going right to my main players money amount, but haven't paid attention and didn't see any place where I could pull money from the stash.
5/22/2012 9:06:38 PM
Real money goes into your Blizzard account, then it will take 15% fee to have that transferred to your PayPal account. For now, you have to ransfer gold manually to your stash.
5/22/2012 9:18:53 PM
if something sells you go to the completed auctions tab and on the left side of that there'll be a list of recently completed auctions with either gold or an item attached. click the money/item and then send to stash.obv you wouldnt want items to auto go back into your stash cause they'd take up space but idk why blizz doesnt auto send gold to your stash
5/22/2012 10:18:47 PM

New 7200 rpm hard drive and Windows 7 (couldn't find my god damned xp key) in the wife's computer. It defaulted to much much higher graphics setting and I couldn't reproduce the frame drops myself so we'll see how it goes in a public game tonight.Also blew like a pound of dust out of the case.
5/23/2012 10:59:43 AM
There is absolutely no reason to craft anything in this game. None.Farm for gold, and buy something someone else found on the AH for far less (generally) than you would have spent trying to craft something comparable at these artisans.Also, the gold auction house is a fucking mess. Theres no way RMAH is going to launch successfully.
5/23/2012 11:07:00 AM
i, too, find the auction house to be a fucking mess[Edited on May 23, 2012 at 11:11 AM. Reason : also, kungen is about to attempt Azmodan on hardcore hell difficulty]
5/23/2012 11:10:14 AM
^is this the same kungen that was a beast warrior in WoW?
5/23/2012 11:18:33 AM
i think so:http://www.twitch.tv/kungentv
5/23/2012 11:19:20 AM
the only thing I bother crafting is gems just because for some reason it is fun to me. would love to get one to the top rank and then sell it in the RMAH, can't believe fools actually drop real money on items in a game

5/23/2012 11:29:13 AM
i am not willing to use the auction house, yet. i want to find everything in-game.you can find good items quickly by playing with others and telling them what to look for. playing with two other people last night, we were tossing items to each other and all came up with some pretty good stuff.i have actually crafted many of my best items over the course of the game. at level 30 now.
5/23/2012 11:41:54 AM
I mainly use it for little shit like jewelcrafting pages and maybe some lower quality jewels, the nicer ones are way to expensive in the AH
5/23/2012 12:05:29 PM
crafting is a good way to get that ONE piece you just can never find. that sheer amount of pages it requires to craft crap in nightmare+ is annoying though. i max out the blacksmith firs thten use the rest of the pages i find to craft.
5/23/2012 12:33:04 PM
5/23/2012 12:58:27 PM
yeah, probably true, only thing is when you get to a certain point the gems in AH are insanely expensive
5/23/2012 1:20:00 PM
So gold is actually scarce/valuable in this iteration?
5/23/2012 1:31:05 PM
^^ true, ive only bought flawless squares so far, and they have only been 3-6k a piece. much cheaper than the 20k, 3 square gem, and 2 tome cost at the artisan.
5/23/2012 1:46:53 PM
^^Not at all. I think right now everyone is still gearing up and are buying into the idea of a Gold AH because its there. Give it a month or two and gold will be useless. Hopefully we don't go back to the SoJ standard.I think they just need more ways to dump huge amounts of gold. I know there is something to buy from a vendor for 100k, but there needs to be more. (Maybe there are that I just haven't found?)[Edited on May 23, 2012 at 1:48 PM. Reason : ]
5/23/2012 1:48:18 PM
I haven't been able to buy anything off the AH for the past day. Always get errors.
5/23/2012 1:49:33 PM
^^artisans? ^ its been acting up today but i bought two items earlier.FYI, if the AH says your auction timed out, give it some time and check your gold amount. I had all my timeouts actually go through so i bought like 5 gems when i only wanted 1. It just took a few min to show up in my completed auctions section.[Edited on May 23, 2012 at 1:50 PM. Reason : *]
5/23/2012 1:49:35 PM
Yeah, I had that happen too with gems. I like the AH interface, but it's far too glitchy right now. You can snag some really great rares for super-cheap though. Agreed that there's no reason to level up the artisans or craft things yourself right now, unless you get a good recipe to teach the blacksmith.I bought a rare weapon for 1000, used it for two days until I bought something new to replace it, then sold it for 12000. For now the AH is great, but things are going to quickly spiral out of control with so few things taking money out of the economy and nothing being bind on equip. Even socketing gems is reversible for relatively cheap.
5/23/2012 3:30:21 PM
found legendary item #2 at lvl 56http://us.battle.net/d3/en/item/blind-faith
5/23/2012 4:01:12 PM
Maybe Blizz thought that the 15% fee for AHing with gold would be enough to keep the economy stable.Ha
5/23/2012 4:46:57 PM
Ran across a creature I could not kill at all in act two inferno. Was one of those flying things that spits out little ones that do damage on impact, was also vampiric molten. Thing would heal itself while I tried to do any damage and absolutely rape me with the molten.
