Q: Smartcast and range indicators for certain skills?

As far as i know you can have your skills cast when you hit (keydown) your skill key QWER or after you press the target with your mouse. The whole clicking with the mouse to activate the skill sucks - it add too much delay and opportunaty for failure. Using smartcast to activate the skill right a...

Q: What are the requirements for the Greed portal to appear?

I've killed hundreds of goblins, on multiple difficulties, in rifts, out of rifts... Bu no greed portal has opened yet. I'm currently doing mainly rifts (I have a huge pile of rift fragments), so can these portals open in rifts? And do they require torment or above? Is there a level requirement ...

A: What are the requirements for the Greed portal to appear?

Greed portals can only spawn in Level 70 Adventure mode. The portal to The Vault will not spawn inside a Nephalem Rift (and Treasure Goblins don't spawn inside of Greater Rifts at all). Source 1 and 2

5pike

@Chippies It was nothing dirty or anything. Just a picture that didn't convey anything, really.

@5pike suuure, that's what ~~GnomeSlice~~ they all say.

@Chippies I'll accept in 7 minutes, can't accept yet. stupid limits.

now it has the ugly "Edited" thingy on it

5pike

@Chippies Do you want proof?

Chippies

8:21 AM

@5pike don't really care, I was just joking

Arperum

@Chippies This means I'll have to do some more bounties. And I have ~200 rift fragments stashed away already...

oh well, I'll go for the bounty achievements then, got the act 1 bounty achievemnt already.

Chippies

@Arperum damn, I barely have any bounty achievs even in non-seasons

5pike

Anyway, watch the daily routine of a cat

Arperum

@Chippies I'm not talking about general bounty achievs, I'm talking about the season specifc ones, the "do 100 bounties in act 1" and the equals for the other acts.

I got all kill X mobs in act during season quite some time ago.

Chippies

8:25 AM

@Arperum yeah, I know that's what you meant

Arperum

Doing kills in a rift works too for the kill X in act achievements. Not sure if the rift needs to be in the specific act though.

Chippies

I got my RRoG from my 4th cache after I started looking for it

I only have like 30 or so bounties done in act 1

and less in other acts

I have actually been incredibly lucky with my season character

Arperum

@Chippies I got one of these at a lower level.

Chippies

@Arperum I didn't do adventure mode until early 60s

I got to malthael in campaign before going to adventure mode, because 1) I hate doing campaign when I'm 70 and 2) I stop before malthael to get my guaranteed legendary at 70

although the legendaries don't seem to matter as much anymore, because greater rifts can be farmed easily

also, Kadela is giving me tons of legendaries lately

I spent 280 shards on helms earlier today, 2 out of first 5 helms were set and 1 was legendary

had the same situation with gloves few days ago

@Lazers OMG SOMEONE IS STEALING MY SPOT AS THE BEST ANSWER! D:<

Arperum

@Chippies I leveled up two heroes mostly on bounties.

@fredley I don't really trust diet plans.

Kevin van der Velden

Well they're usually unscientific bullshit

fredley

@KevinvanderVelden To say the least

5pike

@KevinvanderVelden Yeah, that's my usual thought.

Kevin van der Velden

Jeah, actually let me rephrase that. Unless it's from a trained dietitian for a single person. It is in 90% of the cases at best unscientific bullshit, at worst downright deadly

5pike

9:13 AM

@KevinvanderVelden Yeah, the notion "works for this person, so it has to work for everyone" is total bullshit.

Kevin van der Velden

It also doesn't help that in some places (cough US cough) dietary supplements are barely regulated, and there is some terrible stuff in them sometimes

5pike

@KevinvanderVelden Many people will do anything to loose some weight...

Kevin van der Velden

@5pike yeah, but they don't really anticipate getting pesticides or stimulants that give heart attacks or things that cause cancer in their weight loss pills

I mean, death is a great weight loss method! But then it doesn't really matter much

The thing is, before I got full Vaagur there was a point where hero upgrades stopped keeping up with the game

There's been a couple of moments when I thought "damn I am missing a LOT of DPS for the next boss"

but it just happened to be late at night

and if it didn't, each 1234568 gives me about 2 hours' worth of gold in 30 seconds

In other news, I can now honestly say I have no idea whether or I prefer an eReader or a physical book.

@AshleyNunn you could have an eReader with no batteries as well. Of course, it would be useless, but still...

Wipqozn

My favourite thing about books over eReaders (or at least my one) is it's a lot easier to back and forth between pages when I want to find something earlier on, or flip ahead to see how many pages are left in a chapter.

@AshleyNunn I've never had to worry about batteries with my ereader

Also most of these seem to be a game of 'what can you make with essentially 3 divs' (before and after). It makes me think ::before and ::after should be some special cases of ::child(n), allowing you to use more than 3 elements.
