I got a level 60 butchers cleaver. It doesn't look like it rolls until you open it. I'm going to wait until I'm 70 to open the next one to see if its a level 70 unique.

I only played about 10 minutes and already found a set plan! I cant wait to get to play tonight.

Is it me or did they boost leveling in this new game? Maybe it's just in my head but I don't remember leveling this fast. I've done nothing special and finished act I at level 21. I don't recall being that high in the last game...or maybe I'm just imagining things, lol.

That's about right if you are not playing easy difficulty. They did boost the leveling, where if you play the hard difficulty you can be close to level 70 at the end of act 5. That kept you from having to play the story 4 times just to get to the "good stuff".

So by the end of Act 1 you should be level 20, about level 35 at Act 2, about 50 at Act 3, 60 at Act 4 and then 70 at Act 5.

I would think at easy difficulty you would not quite hit 70 at the end of 5, and be closer to 60 and have to do other runs to max out.

Hitting 70 is only the beginning. It's nice to see the Paragon levels are present where anything over 70 nets you a slight boost in stats for any character you create afterwards.
Crafting is still worthwhile for supplimenting low level stats and blowing away all your gold.

And dude, Wimsyshire, I can't wait to get there again.

My advice for first timers or new characters... go straight to Hard Difficulty and bring friends.

Sad day, I thought we were one clan. My bad. No need for me to create a poll for a single console. Cool

Not to interrupt here, but I think the reason Sticky made the thread was because he was going to be playing on the Xbox One and wanted to know who else would be playing on the Xbox One. I can see the point of separating the two consoles when asking about a game that you'll be playing on one particular console and not the other.

I personally think somehow there should be a "General Gaming" forum, an "Xbox One" and a "PS4" at this point even though I know that's probably not an option because that further separates us.

I know we are a united clan, but at the same time it is a bit frustrating at times trying to figure out who's playing what console at any given time.

PS4 people are free to make there own d3 topic and poll there as pointed out this was for my own idea on who ill be able to play with (yes it was not pointed out in the first point) but come on would i post a poll for a system i dont own ?

but lets not act like kids over a post/poll

PS4 and xb1 people please keep a level head if one acts out please contact a CO or CC member if issues come up

by **Lickwid Apex** Wed Aug 20, 2014 11:36 am

Husker, Sticky

I hear ya. I'll keep my posts focused on the games themselves. As much as I love to stir the pot, me doing so here would be counter-productive.

by **S7 Skandelous** Wed Aug 20, 2014 12:10 pm

I wasnt playing through the story matt, just tagging along with josh as he was rifting on t1 last night. I've had enough of the story to last me until the next xpack

This is nice, and much appreciated IMO. In reality it's all about hitting level 70 and getting the good gear so the quicker the better.

The Game is getting rave reviews (again)-

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/diablo-iii-ultimate-evil-edition-review-roundup/1100-6421819/

GameSpot -- 9/10
"Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition feels like the happy conclusion of a two-year public beta, with the initial purchasers on PC bearing much of the grief with the auction house and the slow pace to reach level 60. Those who have held off up to this point will benefit the most, while those who got a head start on the PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 versions will be able to transfer their saves to their new gen console of choice. It's just a shame that some newcomers won't appreciate what the early adopters went through to make the fantastic game it is today." [Full review]

Quarter to Three -- 5/5
"This latest release, glumly named the 'Ultimate Evil Edition,' for next-gen systems includes all the awesome stuff from Reaper of Souls that finally upgraded Diablo III from a game I really liked to a game I loved. Now it's here on the platform of choice for local gatherings and couch gamers, and it's even got a few lagniappes that the PC version doesn't get. New rewards for killstreaks, gifts to send along to your friends list, a nasty nemesis that dogs you and your friends just to remind you all that, hey, you're each still playing Diablo III even though it came out two years ago and this is probably your fiftieth time killing the skeleton king. That's the real magic of effective entertainment, executed so carefully, so precisely by the folks at Blizzard: familiarity that isn't stale." [Full review]

USGamer -- 5/5
"In many respects, D3 is unabashedly old-school, yet is imbued with enough modern niceties and oomph to compete with any contemporary game. Even though much of it feels straight out of the 90s, it's still thoroughly riveting. Whatever class you pick, and wherever you go, you'll have an endless parade of stuff to kill, and a variety of entertaining options to help you do the deed, whether you're casting crazy Witch Doctor swarms, or smashing through things with a Barbarian's heavy arsenal." [Full review]

Giant Bomb -- 4/5
"It's great with a group and fine if you're playing alone, but I'd still say that, if you're able, the PC version is the one to get unless you're specifically looking for a local co-op mode. Barring that, though, the console versions of Diablo III are well-built and adapted to a controller quite well, so at some point it becomes a matter of preference. If you're excited about the genre and love to smash enemies to watch a series of numbers go up as you collect better and better gear, this is a good way to fulfill those needs." [Full review]

The Escapist -- 4.5/5
"A fantastic dungeon-crawler that is still mercilessly addictive two years after the fact, Diablo III turns out to be a surprisingly good console fit. Most of the content will have been seen before if you have a prior version though, so don't feel pressured to rush out and get it." [Full review]

Official Xbox Magazine -- 8/10
"Ultimate Evil Edition is full of great ideas and wonderful refinements: it wants you to want to play it, and it makes itself as open as it can to doing so. For those that have played Diablo III to death and yearn to explore the fifth act, Ultimate Evil Edition is a no-brainer. The same unconditional recommendation applies to total newcomers, especially those with friends (or in a pinch, someone who will kindly press and hold the A button on a second controller from time to time). But if you're in the middle, a person with experience who's starting a new class, the early stages will be a cakewalk. Grind and bear it. Ride the hamster wheel. In the end, Diablo can take over your life. You don't even have to have a pre-existing tendency for dungeon crawlers to 'get' its appeal. Crank it up to the toughest setting you can and don't look back." [Full review]

I love this bit:

"In the end, Diablo can take over your life... Crank it up to the toughest setting you can and don't look back."

I can't wait to play some more tonight!
