Diablo III: Reaper of Souls

I guess it would be possible to launch 2.0.1 before the auction house closes since the only thing people would be able to sell is materials, gems, and rares. I have found myself some really good rares on the PTR though. There's a lot of potential for many slots over current gear, especially if you're not using a set item in that slot.

My time on the PTR has been mostly positive.


Cursed Chests gives me a lot of Diablo 2 nostalgia. Doing an extremely static run on something that (almost) always spawns in the same place and remaking the game immediately afterwards. I managed to get two legendaries from doing this a few dozen times, though neither were interesting. These events will probably be randomized throughout the world, but I hope they keep a few static ones in hard to reach places. This one is just beside the Halls of Agony 3 Waypoint, spawns about 75% of the time, making it extremely easy to farm. The goal is to kill 150 monsters in 30 seconds or something. My best record on Normal is this I believe, and I can manage around 200 on Master. Seems like it would actually be difficult for really low geared people though.

 Spoiler

My Demon Hunter really seems to attract Bracer upgrades.

Every other non-jewelry slot can spawn with a specific skill modifier, except Bracers which seem to spawn this elemental skill bonus instead. I wouldn't have minded a week or two of play to replace a few slots and adjust to the new changes with these items, as well as maybe reroll a 60. One week seems okay for this.

I have nearly 2 billion gold, and I'm not sure what I want to spend it on, especially since RoS is one week after auction house closure. I don't particularly want or need any several hundred million upgrades. I guess I'll waste it all on enchanting. Anyone want some?
