So as far as I can tell, the game scales the difficulty for each player that joins, and even 2 players at remotely similar levels means that the game will be able to kick either one of their @#$%s if they split up.

Just give me some idea of when you want to play I guess.

Dude, even on Hard, the game is pretty easy. It was tough at the beginning of Act 2 due to the jump up in difficulty. But then I switched to a different skill rotation and got some better weapon/armor and I'm just facerolling now. Wait, can you "faceroll" on a console? Or is that just a PC thing? I think the analog sticks might hurt if I get one in an eye.

So if you join a 4 player game at about level 32 in the first act on nightmare, the game will completely kick your @#$ if the other players don't know what they are doing. All hail randoms who don't know the meaning of the word "teammate". But the difficulty scaling was very very intense.

I have never been in a 2 player game on that difficulty, but I don't think it would be negligible.... At least probably not. At least for you. I think my first few deaths in a row occurred in the last third of act III on that difficulty. Their were several legendary enemies, that when combined with some of the more common ones, overwhelmed me a little.

In single player, the game is pretty easy until you get to act II on nightmare. Then the game starts to mess with you a little. I think I had to start using healing items on a regular basis the first time I went into the desert.

Yeah, once you get to 3/4 players it helps to have an actual tank or atleast an actual healer. Going in with 2 Mages, Hunter, and dual-wielding Barbarian (or any other 4 dps combo) probably isn't the best way, no matter what the difficulty. It's why I don't run my mage with anything but the Templar in single player. I don't think that diablo forces you to use the "holy trinity" but having at least 1 of either tank or healer is helpful.

About halfway through the first playthrough...... I just chose the templar. His healing skills, combined with the sheer ability to let him walk in first, really helps the bow wielder. The roguish dude couldn't really do anything useful there, and the mage isn't strong enough in magic for anyone other than an already tanky character to make use of.

Just wanted to say that, due to the joys of modding, my DotP has 64 decks, including all of 2012's and 2013's (with promos for the deck packs) and will soon include another 18 with updated versions of 2009's decks (designed by me) for 82 decks total. Man, I love modding. There's also a few other decks in there that we designed for friends of mine.

Actually, if you want to play Diablo III tonight before midnight, I probably have time now. I got all my work done early.

Tanks and healers doesnt really exist in the way they do in WoW so a 4 dps combo is what you will get in a 4p game, and D3 allows it, its all about your gear level when it comes to difficulty and survival comes down to your gameplay and the way you handle yourself. Ive Heard about alot of people quitting cuz the game got boring on them, and in certain aspects it does, there isnt much of a end game at all, you make your character go through the acts and level up pretty Quick and if ur not into repeating this over and over to get the gear you want it will get boring fast, I love the game, but then again im all about the challenges witch the game has plenty to offer, ive done 5 lvl 60s now and going for 10, 2 of each class, cant say im looking forward to the 100 000 000 picked up gold one but still im gonna do it. D3 is certainly not for everyone but I Think its great. As far as single player goes and what follower your using, the templar is a great pick for the wizard, but honestly the followers are not necessary at all, you'll manage fine without them, atm im running my first hardcore character, a wizard and im using the templar for healing but so far I cant say that hes made any difference but im only in act 3 nightmare so we'll see how it goes on inferno

Quick, everyone enter this competition before Thursday.

Just read Toraka's review of the dimir post promos........................ I couldn't finish. I got to the part where he said shadowborn demon was at the same level as slate-street ruffian and worse than lobotomy and vedalken dismisser........... Dude can't play game.

Who's Toraka?

Top Tier Tactics - one of the main reviewers who reviewed a lot of the decks in this game; It's supposed to be a site where they give you advice if you are a new player........... the demon being worse than the dismisser is not one I understand.

Hmm. I may give it a look. Always nice to see what 'professionals' think about these things.

This is the one part of the review I liked. I am not sure if I agree with these, but it made me smile:

Moroii: 4.0

Followed Footsteps: 3.9
I hesitate to rate this 4, since its sheer size as a removal magnet might cause the moon to deorbit and crash on your dude in case there aren’t any Doom Blades, Corrupts, Mutilates, sacrifices, or other black removal which is surprisingly plentiful in this game already aimed at it. Still, if it survives, imagine what you could do. Two things about it though, Evil Twin’s token will be a copy of what the original is copying*** and for the love of SUBJECT DEITY HERE, do not put this on Moroii. There is cutting into your veins to release the sweet venom within which will carry you to victory and then there’s shoving a kitchen knife into your stomach. It can become ugly quickly if your opponent doesn’t die immediately afterwards.


I do this all the time, and it is just as fun as he makes it sound. However...... smog elemental also beat the demon.

Come enjoy my non-DotP thread.
(and make an actual discussion about it or something).

What surprised me the most is that this dude gets published at all...

Did duels 2012 have deck keys like 2013 and 2014?

Would anyone use it for anything if I finished a list of all cards in dotp, sorted alphabetically, by color, and by first game appeared in?

I was bored, so I started to do this, and this is what I have so far.

With regards to D3:

Templar starts nice, by inferno he's pretty much completely wasted. Dies too fast, doesn't heal enough, and none of them do damage worth a damn.
Scoundrel gets you a nice bonus to crit (3%) or an on crit bonus, plus he has a tiny little CC.
Sorceress lady has an "increased damage in area" effect, I think a damage reduction effect and a charm effect that gets in the way more than it helps.

More importantly, Sorceress is annoying as hell when she talks, Scoundrel is funny, and Templar is funny in an "I R HERO" kinda way. But if you don't take scoundrel, he makes some funny convos with the other follower you leave behind whenever you walk past them, so there's that. All in all, I recommend taking Sorceress for increased damage and the extra protection, and just learning to tone out her voice.


And there is no real tank or heal roles. You can't really heal others at all in the game, and there's no way to hold aggro. But basically every player needs to have their own balance of DPS, tankiness and self-heal/sustain, or you won't make it anywhere in inferno.

Hey speaking of, are we going to play diablo III tonight?
