@fbueckert That's a fair point. Think I should try to narrow it down?

@Sterno Yes. I normally just switch to another server.

@Mana Honestly, according to other posts, the "best" build will be, at most, 5% better than any other. I can dump data up to level 30 without issue, but choices start getting exponential past that.

@James Question about your sustainable DPS equipment question; how does mana/power apply to normal attacks? As far as I was aware it doesn't.

James

12:05 AM

@Mana I am not asking about normal attacks only

I want to be able to constantly cycle through my skills at a sustainable level

Mana

@James In that case though don't you need to specify what your specific skillset(s) are?

James

Which is what I meant by not having to stop and recharge between each engagament

Ya know, I think Ill just take down my question man

Mana

@fbueckert I wonder if it would be possible to run through all the possibilities automatically using a computer program...

@James Sorry man.

James

Someone can ask for data dump lists of things and I cant just get a Left or Right answer on where should I be looking at gear when I am looking at this statistics

Raven Dreamer

@Mana Possible yes. But you've got just as much a headache programming the thing.

fbueckert

12:07 AM

@Mana There's not enough data provided; the main thing missing is attack speed for each skill.

Mana

@fbueckert ah, right.

fbueckert

I can't guarantee that it's smooth sailing from there; I can almost guarantee I'm missing something else.

Mana

Will that data become available in time, or is it reliant upon the equipment your character is using?

badp

You'd assume Steam numbers would crumbling by now, perhaps they will in a few hours store.steampowered.com/stats

fbueckert

@Mana I don't think weaponry plays a part, beyond damage.

Whether or not Blizzard includes attack speed later...no idea. I can guarantee that SOMEBODY, somewhere will, though.

@AshleyNunn! Catan in a little while?

If I ask 'Can crafted gear compete with top tier loot drops?' is that a better question to get my Yes or No answer?

Raven Dreamer

@Mana It is reliant upon equipment. Faster weapon = faster animation. @fbueckert

LessPop_MoreFizz

@James I think the problem is that you're not being specific enough for anyone to do the math, and the game hasn't been out long enough for any sort of consensus to emerge.

So you have two choices, you can wait for a consensus to show up in a few weeks, or you can be a whole lot more specific so we can hit the databases and run some numbers.

James

@LessPop_MoreFizz And because there isnt enough community generated information yet my question is bad?

fbueckert

12:12 AM

@Mana Do you want me to add in level 30 info just based off of what I can find?

James

Looking at the costs it takes to get the smith to create items, its fairly costly

LessPop_MoreFizz

@James I think it's too general to be useful.

James

And apparently it does not expand across difficulty levels

So I just want to know if I should even bother raising the smith's level

I think that is a very helpful answer

Like a warlock asking what professions to get

user2334

@James Given the game hasn't come out yet, it's hard to see what problem, exactly, you have right now that you're trying to solve

user2334

It seems more like seeding

Mana

12:14 AM

@fbueckert Sure, if you have it available. I'll think of ways to revise the question to make it less broad/more easily answerable.

James

@MarkTrapp Do I save up 1000000gold to raise my smith's skill

Do I spend my time farming for items to keep them or components to craft the gear I want

Where will I get the best bang for my buck

user2334

The game hasn't even come out yet, much less an optimal play through style. Why not just play the game?

LessPop_MoreFizz

There's a certain breed of questions which just feel like they're written by someone who hasn't actually played the game and just wants to know what to do before they ever push a button. "What's the best build for general use", "Where are the best weapons from", etc.

user2334

@LessPop_MoreFizz exactly, the "play the game for me" questions

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah, I guess my question falls under here. Debating what I should do with it.

Close it? I mean, the info that @fbueckert has compiled is really useful so I don't want to just get rid of it.

user2334

@James Views and votes are irrelevant if the question isn't quality. We're not trying to be Yahoo! Answers.

James

@MarkTrapp I am just wondering why @LessPopMoreFizz answered that question instead of voting to close a question where clearly the person could go play the game and figure it out

OrigamiRobot

Oh! Oh! What are we closing and why?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@James Take a look at the answers he got. They mostly amount to "This is a shitty question, but this information is going to help you figure it out for yourself," mine included.

Ah, there is another one.. just keep playing and you can see what they all are able to do

I am just wondering why some questions are held to a different set of guidelines.. CAuse I do not want to keep posting questions that people will come looking for if the response is play the game to figure it out yourself.

My initial question was should I look for loot drops or focus on raising the player crafting (smith's skill)

Brant

12:22 AM

FWIW, I thought the question was fine.

user2334

@James Avoid overly broad questions before playing the game. Ask about specific things you have trouble with while playing. You can't go wrong that way.

James

@MarkTrapp And why is asking about the validity of the crafting system not specific enough?

@James If we're still talking about this question, it's because you're asking people to tell you how to play the game before at least attempting it yourself. It's missing the "what have you tried?" part

The Harlequin Crest was a quest reward in Diablo 1. Is "What quest do I get the Harlequin crest in for Diablo II?" a very good question?

@James really, though, the best solution in this case is to combine both of the answers so that there's one complete answer.

Either:
1) Make a new answer which combines both of the answers, and then make that answer community wiki.
2) Make a post on each answer asking them to include more information.

Q: What are the ways to cash out my earnings in the auction house?

I read that Blizzard allows to cash out the earnings from the auction house, instead of just allowing you to fund your Battle.net wallet with them (or get in-game gold). I'm assuming you can do it with PayPal, but I may be wrong. What are all the ways to cash out to real life? If there are regi...

Q: What areas of the game feature randomly generated terrain?

Back in Diablo II, the second you stepped foot outside the Rogue's Encampment, you were in the randomly generated marshes of the Blood Moor. But my experience in Diablo III has been different - New Tristram, and indeed, the areas surrounding new Tristram seem to be identical for every character ...

Q: How can I change regions?

Where in the interface is the option to switch regions in Diablo 3? As I understand it, you have to start with fresh characters. Does this mean you log in to a region or can you switch while in-game?

Q: Why are numbers in skill descriptions green?

In all the skill descriptions, the numbers are green. In other games, I have seen this used to indicate values which can change, but the skills pages don't seem to have any info on this. In Diablo 3, is this just to make them stand out or does it indicate values that can change? If they can ch...

Q: Auction house fees

I have some questions on auction houses fees. If you think it is better, I can split my questions in three but I think they are all related. Which are the fees for the two different auction houses, that one based on in-game golds and the one uses real money? Are there any hidden costs that I s...

spugsley

Raven Dreamer

Raven Dreamer

Raven Dreamer

@spugsley They can't handle the truth.

spugsley

Raven Dreamer

Dave McClelland

Q: Is Salvaging shortcut available?

I expect that using right-mouse button in Salvaging tab perform the action, but instead it equips the item I press. Am I missing something? Do exists a faster way to salvaging magical items to blacksmith without drag & drop them one by one?

Q: Is Magic Weapon associated with a weapon or with the hero?

The Wizard’s Magic Weapon skill description reads: Imbue your weapon with magical energy, granting it 10% increased damage. Lasts 5 minutes. What does it mean, imbue the weapon? If I switch weapons, do I lose the enchantment? And if I cast the spell and then give my weapon to another player...

@BenBrocka Daphne was showing me this a few weeks ago, or rather showing me clips from Sesame Street, which had a similar thing

it's really unsettling.

@Mana I don't like this topic!!!

And now, I leave my PC!

agent86

hmm, completing these acts seems rather not worth it

70 q's at +1 (and etc) to get a 25% chance at a prize seems kinda lame

spugsley

@agent86 agree. I do not plan on competing. I will ask and answer questions as usual but not with that as my end goal

agent86

@spugsley highfive

Ben Brocka

@agent86 Is it that low for acts? Don't the easy gems like "accept an answer" get you that chance?

agent86

@BenBrocka Quoth the rules: Awarding prizes for the Acts: Multiple prizes will be awarded for each act. Completing each Act earns you one entry into the raffle for that Act, and 25% of the people who complete each Act will be chosen.

you are correct in your observation that the percentages are similar for the gems

@Mana gooby pls

spugsley

@OrigamiRobot ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

StrixVaria

@agent86 I'll answer questions for fun and rep. If I happen to get a prize, so be it.

That's how I'm approaching this contest.

agent86

@StrixVaria no argument from me - this is my normal modus operandi

just a weird way to run a contest/award prizes, imho
