No one wants to trade shite. If it aint sorc/pally torches tal chest/ammy/shako its like a damn wasteland. I been trying to trade tgods, 40 pgems, ik helm and maul, 5os flail laying of hands, trang armor, aldur armor and boots and other stuff with no bites at all

There are a couple of reasons this exists. There is no proper trade website (i.e. poe), nor is there any way to filter games in the lobby. In addition to those you have only a handful of runes that are truly worth anything. You have your run of the mill items that everyone with a blizzard sorc can find.

I wish the game allowed online modding. There was a project diablo 2 mod that solved all these problems. They balanced all the skills so that there are more than just blizz sorcs and hammerdins running around. They introduced corruptions so that the run of the mill items that are worthless could be corrupted to potentially add an additional modifier that made them rare and useful. They also added an endgame mapping systems that allows for more than just Chaos and Baal runs.

they increased the game join/create lockout timer from 30 to 60 seconds.

so now if you try and join a game and its full or try and join that next baal run before the game is created you are locked out of doing anything for 60 seconds.

that's the stupidest shite i've ever heard.

Props to whoever recommended using a controller on PC. World of difference.

look up these:









you could put some gems in for things that you need a boost in until you find a better helm.

magic find
health
strength
attack rating
dexterity
mana

either socket it with perfect topazes or look for a 2 socket helm and make Lore

I'm only level 48 so this would be short term

then i would go with the topazes.

Rate limiting: We are limiting the number of operations to the database around creating and joining games, and we know this is being felt by a lot of you. For example, for those of you doing Pindleskin runs, you’ll be in and out of a game and creating a new one within 20 seconds. In this case, you will be rate limited at a point. When this occurs, the error message will say there is an issue communicating with game servers: this is not an indicator that game servers are down in this particular instance, it just means you have been rate limited to reduce load temporarily on the database, in the interest of keeping the game running. We can assure you this is just mitigation for now–we do not see this as a long-term fix.

Login Queue Creation: This past weekend was a series of problems, not the same problem over and over again. Due to a revitalized playerbase, the addition of multiple platforms, and other problems associated with scaling, we may continue to run into small problems. To diagnose and address them swiftly, we need to make sure the “herding”–large numbers of players logging in simultaneously–stops. To address this, we have people working on a login queue, much like you may have experienced in World of Warcraft. This will keep the population at the safe level we have at the time, so we can monitor where the system is straining and address it before it brings the game down completely. Each time we fix a strain, we’ll be able to increase the population caps. This login queue has already been partially implemented on the backend (right now, it looks like a failed authentication in the client) and should be fully deployed in the coming days on PC, with console to follow after.

Been trying to play since last night, can't fricking log in on Xbox. Read their giant post explanation. What a shite show.
