Blizzard always feels rather generous when it comes to their own birthday celebrations, and Diablo 3 is no exception with the
developer announcing an increased 100% drop rate to legendaries for an entire week.
Alongside the legendary buff, players will also receive double Rift Fragments to use. The buff will only be available to players on the Windows PC and Mac editions of the game, but "will apply to all characters and stack with similar bonuses."
The buff will begin at 5PM AEST tonight, and will continue through until Thursday, May 22nd at 12PM AEST.

I got 2 greens on normal too. You referring to the run with us?
We went to T3 rifts after that and among us we proceeded to get at least 30 legs over the course of 2 hours, 3 people.
Posted 09:47am 16/5/14
yeah that first run we did, the first area i went into
it's funny reading the comments on the bliz forums so many f*****g kids just want every f*****g drop to be a leg, they're like a bunch of spoiled brats
reso is just cranky because he can't find THE BEST BOOTS IN THE GAME sorry bro they don't just give those out like lollies

Still pissed about my EQ set. :
Posted 11:15am 16/5/14
it also doubled as my escape skill because it used to save you once if you died so you could go toe to toe for a while without the fear of dying and then run when you used that second ball of life if you hadn't won yet
pretty over powered haha

Thats still wrong. a 1% drop rate +100% =101% drop rate, i.e. every drop is legendary.
Posted 08:45pm 16/5/14
Eg: Torment 6 has a +1600% xp drop rate. On top of that you can have +200% from gear. An item might have a 1% locked drop rate, which is now 1% x 1800% = 18%. (It's actually 19% because on normal mode the multiplier is actually 0%, in this case not affecting the items locked drop rate at all).

also started my 3rd hc wd tonight after I lost the last one cos I turned to watch the footy a few weeks ago and got pwned :(

Posted 05:29pm 17/5/14

Posted 08:33pm 17/5/14

Gonna suck checking it all out. I've had to create another toon to take some of the overflow.
Posted 03:03pm 19/5/14
Implication being you don't look at the time? Almost as if you weren't at the pc when it drops ?

With one of the two I can. I'm going to set up a second barb with a full blown EQ only set for T6 farming. One IK piece has less EQ damage, but more resist/life, which is great for party runs where I am standing there killing s*** with everyone. When I'm solo though I'll use the other set - and it's becoming a pain in the ass changing my build every half an hour.
Yes. - No.
I find it more fun just smashing as many rifts as I can fit legs into my stash then checking it all in one go. This way multiple upgrades will make the character actually feel more powerful and not just give me 'another 1%' - each to their own. Botting in D3 is a bit stupid at this gear and paragon level.
I've found lately that people are shooting themselves over salvaging items they once thought were useless but turned out the opposite. I'm no different: There is an item which makes you take no damage while casting Town Portal. I was like "Pff, Town Portal gear will never be used in a build so I don't need this" and it turns out that solid EQ barbs are using it to becoming invincible while they wait for their next EQ. The s***tiest perceivable item in the game yet now I need it and probably won't see another for a very long time.
Funnily enough, I also only recently worked out the idea behind Unity ring and soloing (shows how much I solo in this game). I've only ever kept one ring, and 4 days ago I worked out I needed two, and now a second won't drop.

I can't do hardcore for this reason. Also I like D3 only for the MP. Would be a s*** night if my 3 mates were killed and I was left with no group.

just because of the increase in enemy strength?

I got a super nice Tall Mans Finger.
6x Big Dog! uber for single targets.
Now I just need to balance it with some form of horde control.

I've gone paragon 53-359 since patch 2.0 came out and have everything at 70, so it's not like I don't play =P
Posted 09:34am 21/5/14
I got a decent unity off a friend last night. It's got Int on it but the remaining stats are good rolls so once I convert it to Str my T6 build is almost complete. Now just need hexing pants and, apparently, Harringtons belt.
F*****g server shutdowns ruin Tuesdays.
