Waiting for the price drop so I can buy it for the PS4. $60 is still too much for me to spend and it been out for almost a year now.

Yea...even I'm a bit shocked this went up in price. For the longest it was $45 and not long back I saw it around $35 for a long time. Not sure why it moved back up.

We played for about 5 hours last night. I think we are level 68 or 69. We got about 100 or so items from the cow level, and then quit because it was late and we didn't feel like going through all of them. This has been my first Diablo experience and it's been a blast.

I played for an hour last night. Ran into a cow level right off the bat in my first bounty run. After that, no bovines to be found.

gerrythedon

I'm not playing this for a fucking cow

let me know ASAP when it's double xp on current gen.

nickdawgy

It was really fun but yeah I got two more cow levels and I'm gonna shelve it til double xp as well.

We stopped again for the new destiny stuff but never ran into the Cow Level. However I again was reminded of the "Cheating"....in this case Power Leveling that goes on. While I was playing some Saturday morning I saw two friends on. At the beginning of play one was a Level 17. I didn't pay much attention since I was going between my characters to check their stuff but 15 minutes later I saw same person at Level 25. And I just stared for a bit and within 3 minutes he got to Level 27. About 15 minutes later he was Level 34.

The night before I saw the same name along with another jump in our game for about 1 minute before they left. Both had characters at Paragon 230+. Over at the official Diablo Battlenet forums someone started a topic about the upbeat of players using Mod Weapons & Armor jumping in matches, wiping everything out leaving everyone else behind. And many said they would ask for 'Legit Players" only, someone claim to be and once in players saw they were lying loaded with 50K weapons and 3-4 Gem Armor pieces. Sorry...but that's the part of this game that burns me.

I don't consider "power leveling" to be anywhere near cheating, assuming they're not paired up with people using hacked gear, and from the amount of time you said they weren't. It's all about getting character to level 70 where the real game begins. There's no way I would start a new class if took me days to get to the gear hunting, so I can definitely see why someone at Paragon 230+ would power level. Also I don't consider paragon 230+ to necessarily be a sign of anything, I think I'm at 130ish, and whenever I play I gain 3-5 levels, and that's playing alone, so no multiplayer xp bonus. My level is with me taking numerous long breaks as well, plus paragon levels carried over from PS3 version, although I think I quit PS3 version at like paragon level 2.
The only things I consider cheating are the hacked gear and duping of items. The sad thing is some of the people using hacked stuff think they're legit players, either give by some idiot that joined their game or from other methods they didn't know weren't legit. A friend asked me about gear he saw people selling on eBay, all the auctions he showed me had way too many sockets.

K&AJones

The Hacked Gear stuff leaves us shaking our head and asking why....When we played on the 360, even a close friend whom we played other games got into the Power Leveling off the bat and Hacked Stuff and we said no thanks and sort of parted ways. He would come back, try to join in and he would be loaded and leveled up just obliterating everything thinking he did us a big favor clearing the level. We're not the type to ride in the back seat all in the name of leveling up much less watching someone with stuff that doesn't belong in the game think as you say,"still believing they're legit".

After we've played Bloodborne, dying a lot in this game is nothing compared to the frustration in that game....in fact it's somewhat funny. I don't know on the Power Level deal. We did all four characters legit and our Crusader is stuck around Level 44. I could see maybe to Level 30 or just the first playthru but getting the gear and getting your hands dirty is the fun of it. Plus with us running multiple characters we just constantly moved gear around....sort of a ladder system. I guess with one...maybe not to bad providing they've done the others but right off the bat.....makes no sense on even getting the game.

fumanstan

Power leveling definitely isn't cheating.

Unfortunately I'm still playing ROS on 360 (with absolutely zero people to play with but I'm guessing that's due to most being on PS4/XB1 or PC, but oh well)

I did start my first hardcore character this weekend, a Crusader and got her to level 28 so the 100% exp/gold certainly helped. It's frustrating when all my gold and plans are on another character but I guess that's the point . But no worries and while my Barbarian is much better at tanking, the Crusader is far from squishy like my Demon Hunter.

Still love the game, though I will admit that the mid-levels from 31 to 59 are a frustrating slow grind. 1-30 a breeze and 60-70 as well but darn those mid levels.

If there is anybody on 360 still playing, feel free to add me for gifts and I will of course reciprocate. I will have decent internet finally tomorrow, so I might be able to sneak in a few sessions here and there if somebody is interested.

Characters:

Softcore (Paragon Level 17)
Level 70 Demon Hunter
Level 52 Barbarian

Hardcore
Level 28 Crusader

K&AJones

Still have my 360 for a few games and I'll check my friends list to see if anyone is still playing it. We wore it out on the 360 and one of my better Blind Buys ever. I'm thankful Blizzard worked to ensure 360 & PS3 owners were taken care of being able to move their data over. If not....I'd still be playing the 360 version

Was trying to get some keys today and got the cow level again, figured I'd put up the video of it for anyone curious that didn't feel like going through it.

K&AJones

That's pretty cool....now just where is it and don't you have to kill some Queen to open that portal?

Jcheckel

Yeah, the start of the video shows the portal opening. I think it's a random spawn like any of the other goblins.

nickdawgy

The cow is like a goblin. You kill her before she can escape through her portal. Then you go inside and there's a ton of enemies, all cows. There's usually a dozen or so resplendent chests, along with a dozen or so regular ones. Then there's a quest where you kill several waves of cows (complete with a cow NPC that tells a cow related joke, 'you better get moooving' or 'time to milk this opportunity' etc) and the reward for that is three or four more large chests.

K&AJones

Well I experienced The Cow Level last night doing the Fields early on Chapter 1 (Level 61). Funny thing was while I was chasing that Cow, that Nemesis Demon invaded me. Thankfully me and my Templar was able to take him out and The Cow was still around.

Yea..it was a fun experience and no loss of being bored....that was a lot of Cows and chests. Actually it was funny because I just grabbed my Demon Hunter since it's been a long time playing him and I was just going to take him out and mess around. We had stopped after beating Diablo and doing the first part so I figured he was a good choice to play. I think I got about 4-5 Legendary and two Gifts along with some good gems....lots of gold. But almost the same as the video above.

K&AJones

FWIW..it's $30.00 on Amazon right now.....

lopper

This is a tempting price, but I'm waiting for $20 or below. But man it's so tempting...

Kedrix

Hey it's $20 on Last Gen systems . (It was worth a shot)

LorenzoL

It was worth $70 so it's definite steal at $30. The main reason why I have a PS4. No regrets.

The Infidel

To hell with the cow level. I just happened on a place called The Vault, with an end boss called (appropriately) Greed. By the time I was done, I had picked up almost 10M gold, a shitload of imperial gems, and three different legendary items. It came from a portal opened by one of those treasure goblins.

mattysemo247

Do it. It's what helped me move on from Destiny. With more satisfying loot to boot.

dom56

Just order it from Amazon.
