Q: Does Torturous Grounds prevent Cull the Weak

PyrodanteCull the Weak increased damaged on slowed enemies, but Torturous Grounds causes the first two seconds of Caltrops to be an immobilize effect. Does this override the slow for the first two seconds and thus not grant the extra damage?

 
@TimStone My friend, you are not in the google doc!
 
Who has time for documents when there's questing going on?!
But, true, one moment.
Remedied, for Great Justice
 
I shall have to hunt you in game once I finish writing emails and graduation thank you notes.

Anyone wanna take a Diablo 3 break and play Catan with me and @FAE?

@StrixVaria in Vault of the Assassin, I've found a Vampiric Fire Chain, Mortar Horde, and Shield Horde
 
@IanPugsley :(
I'm still pretty sure Frozen Arcane is the most bullshitty.
 
@StrixVaria I have died as many times here as I have in all of NM, probably
oh wait yeah, I forgot shield arcane

Frozen Waller Arcane Mortar.
That's what Inferno will be.

Q: Does the damage bonus from Disruption affect itself?

ShinraiMy Disruption rune says "Targets hit by Arcane Torrent become Disrupted for 6 seconds, causing them to take 15% additional damage from any attacks that deal Arcane damage." Does this bonus include subsequent hits of Arcane Torrent? I find this skill very impractical to use unless I'm in a spot...

 
@OrigamiRobot I can't talk! I'm only on to listen! =P
 
Okay, I'm in.
 
Once everyone hits Start, it should go. =P

@bwarner Sup
 
@FAE nopes
 
it would be the girls who say ow in response to that.
that makes sense.
 
I think my article on the Diablo 3 auction house is ready to go.
@Mana Some guys might also.
 
user15026
@spugsley That sounds like less fun and more pain
 
1:08 AM
@bwarner that's true
 
hm. do I not have mumble on my laptop?
 
@FAE Do you think you could get it push that out for me?
 
FAE
@bwarner Shall give it a once over first, though I think I saw in backlog people apparently have checked it out? When would you like it out?
 
@FAE Yep, definitely look it over, I tweaked a few thing tonight. Its kind of timely so the sooner it goes out the better, I don't know if we normally do it at the same time of day or what.
 
FAE
@bwarner Usually do it circa noon UTC but I can push tonight if it's timely
 
1:14 AM
@bwarner I did mean min level, and that works out to substantially more than the amounts that NickT was talking about. (Not sure if the reply I typed to this earlier sent, was on a bad connection using bad mobile chat, etc.)
 
Crap. @FAE @Fluttershy @AshleyNunn omw back in
 
@RavenDreamer No worries.
@RavenDreamer It shows you as back in on my screen
 
FAE

Q: Why can I equip a sword as a demon hunter in Diablo 3 if I can't use it?

Q: How can I put gold in my stash?

spugsleyIn Diablo 2, I always kept a fair amount of gold in my stash as a way of saving for expensive items. It was gold that I wouldn't touch because it wasn't freely spent from my inventory. In Diablo 3, can I put gold in my stash? If so, how? Do any of the stash upgrades include a way to save gold?

But I'm in Europe myself.
 
@Eugene Just change it in the options menu in game
 
@Fabian it gave me error on authentication step during sign in
@Fabian if I change back to America, then I can't find any servers.

Hmm, log into battle.net and check if you see Diablo III on your account
 
I do. STARTER EDITION
 
Diablo 3 starter edition?
 
Yes.

That must be the pass Agent gave you
 
yes
@badp what about it?
 
It could very well be it's region-locked
just like the diablo beta was
 
It seems to me, that guest passes are somehow linked to the owner, and therefore to America with this key. So when I change region to America, I can sign in and when I change back to Europe, then authentication step woun't go throu.
 
That sounds unnecessarily complex

Darn. Did hope to try out the game.
 
7:56 AM
well you can play normally on the US zone
I didn't have any problem during the beta
 
Nope.

Q: Enchanting the Wuuthrad

Ashwin GaneshIn this link i came across the following statement You can add an enchantment to the Wuuthrad adding to its power. The enchantment will not be listed; it will continue to say, "Especially deadly to elves," it will, however, have the enchantment. Soul trap (for instance) works; the charg...

A: Does the Wizard Talent Conflagration work with weapons with +Fire Damage?

sjohnstonSkills that state "% weapon damage" will deal the elemental damage from a weapon. Skills that state "% weapon damage as " will not. So the weapon's fire damage would come through with Spectral Blade, but not with Magic Missile or Ray of Frost. Some sources here, here, here.

That doesn't answer the question at all.

Q: How long does it take to complete Diablo 3?

Mehper C. PalavuzlarIs there any official or inofficial information about how long it takes to play Diablo 3 to the end? I checked HowLongToBeat.com but there is no entry for the game. I only heard that someone has finished Diablo 3 already in 12 hours and 29 minutes, but I have no idea if it is quick or not.

FRom what I can tell we never reached a decision on completion time questions, and none of other ones have been closed.
Or we did, and the decision was decide on a case by case basis:

Q: How should we handle questions about game completion time?

SternoI've had my eye on this question for a while: How long is Mass Effect 3 on normal difficulty? I didn't think it was a very good question, but I answered it and pointed to HowLongToBeat.com and tried to explain in my answer specifically why a site like this is needed to provide a good answer to t...

 
@Wipqozn 1) The latter, case by case, yes.
 
@Wipqozn I thought in the absense of any conclusion, we just fight a close-reopen war for every question of that type, in addition to a 1000+ messages chat transcript for every single one.

2) The question is pretty unanswerable right now. Howlongtobeat has no information because the game came out 3 days ago and he news to chill.
3) Diablo 3 in particular is a... particularly unsuited game for this sort of question. It totally misunderstands the way a diablo game works in many ways.
 
11:11 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yes, I'd agree with that, but then when do we re-open it? In a week? A month?
 
@Wipqozn See point 3. It isn't a good question for all kinds of other reasons too.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz yeah, I'm thinking about point 3.
 
@Wipqozn How long does it take to complete Nethack.
 
How long does it take to complete <insert MMORPG>?
 
I mean, I suppose 'how long does it take to clear normal mode' might be valid, but I still 1) don't like it, and 2) think it's way too soon to ask.
 
11:15 AM
Well, I agree it should be closed as not a real question since "to the end" is rather vague for this type of game. Does he mean how long it takes to beat normal? how long it takes to beat Inferno (including all the earlier difficulties)? How long does it take to reach level 50?
Actually, the more I think about it I agree with you.
 
Is it just me that don't see Diablo games as games where you just have to kill the boss on the hardest difficulty or get max level? but more like a MMO where you have goals after reaching max/high level
 
@Blem It's not just you.
 
Grrrrr... what is this "Steam update" and why has it been stuck at 29% for the last 5 mins?
 
@YiJiang It wants you to suffer.

Q: How can I increase my monks maxium spirit?

FabianThe base spirit maximum of 150 is pretty low if you actually want to use those spirit-consuming skills frequently. It can happen easily that you don't have enough left when you're trying to use the more expensive skills for 50 or 75 spirit. The only way to increase the maximum spirit I've found ...

 
!@#$%
 
@YiJiang Bless you!
 
Oh goody, it's now 30%
 
@YiJiang It is getting there
 
Gah. They're resetting the servers again at 8am

Does Steam have a changelog I can look at?
A Steam client update is now available. To apply the update, click the Steam menu inside of Steam and then select "Check for Steam Client Updates...". The specific changes include:

- Fixed overlay for games using older versions of DirectX
- Fixed startup failure on Windows XP SP1 ("unable to load library steamUI.dll")
Is this suppose to take, at this rate, two hours to complete?
These don't even apply to this computer
 
@YiJiang I don't know, but here is a picture of a cute kitten to calm you down while you wait
 
store.steampowered.com/news/?feed=steam_client works sort of like Steam's changelog
@Blem I think I'll load up erkie and shot that kitteh to smithereens
Seriously though, why could Steam be taking so long? At this rate it'll have downloaded and reinstalled every game I have in the library
 
@Sterno ಠ_ಠ
 
@StrixVaria grats on finishing NM!
I just got into it and so far it's been really easy
 
@Sterno Thanks! It was hard.
I wiped on the last boss fight like 10 times.
 
11:48 AM
My barb has 3% life steal, 5 life per hit, 77 life per kill, and a bunch of skills that give back life, so so far it hasn't been bad

Q: Diablo 3 multiplayer and quest progress?

Lasse V. KarlsenThere's plenty of questions here on multiplayer and questing, but I can't seem to find any answering this particular question. I just joined my brothers game to give him some items, and afterwards I have to kill Belial again. When resuming my own game, I was back at an earlier point in my quest...

Q: Automatic tree farm reconstruction

JeffreyI'm trying to rebuild by watching this video, the automatic tree farm that he built; which seems to be the most efficient. I'm at a very good point (I think I just miss a block or two): you can find the downloadable world here. But I'm stuck. The automatic farm doesn't work as expected in the vid...

One of the most heavily discussed features of Blizzard’s eagerly awaited Diablo 3 was its introduction of an auction house to facilitate trading between characters.  The random nature of Diablo’s item generation system quite often left players with an item that would be useful to someone else, but not to them directly.  The auction house promised to replace the confusion and inefficiency of players trying to arrange direct player to player trades through chat channels dominated by ads and spam. …

So I decided to take this opportunity to move my Steam games somewhere else. I did that, launched Steam, and it's back to gawddamn !@#$% updating game client 30% again

Q: Do the parts of exploration achievements for each act reset between logins if you haven't completed them?

staticbeastOn my second time logging in to play (first play-through), on the quest to kill the skeleton king, I decided to also pick up the Act 1 exploration achievements, like A Nice Place to Visit and Thorough Investigation. I discovered that I hadn't received credit for any of the sections of A Nice Pla...

 
@agent86 gave me a guest pass already, but I feel, that issue I'm currently having is due to the diff. regions.

Q: How do I save Clementine in the Drug Store myself?

k0pernikusI am in the drug store and Clementine is attacked by a Walker. I stumble down, and try to reach her, yet I am not fast enough and she is saved by someone else instead. Afterwards, there is a notice that Clementine will remember I did not save her. This makes me think it is possible to save her my...

Q: Does the Blizzard downloader download cross platform files?

Simon WalkerThe downloader downloads both Mac and Windows setup programs, which are both very small (< 3MB) and a lot of generic binary files. Are these binary files cross platform? Can I use my Mac and the Mac downloader to get the setup files, and then install on my Windows PC? I understand the need f...

Q: What are the strengths and weaknesses of each follower?

dpatcheryI've been playing mostly multiplayer so far, so I haven't had much experience with using followers. But now that I started a new character that I will be playing solo, I will surely need a follower to keep my squishy self out of harm's way. This has got me wondering: Which follower should I choos...

Q: Is there a way to tell the Inventory button to stop flashing at me when I pickup new items?

RachelI pick up new items from almost every pack of mobs, so the little Inventory button at the bottom of the screen is almost constantly flashing to tell me I have new items. Is there a way to stop it from flashing when I have new items in my bag? It's very obnoxious
