re: Diablo III + Reaper of Souls (multi-platform)
 
I have not played D3. I don't play PC games any more so I may not ever play D3 unless it comes out on consoles.

Anyways my favorite builds in D2 were the Poison Javazon, the Necro, and a Fire Sorceress.
I loved the slow builds.

Are there any similar builds that are as fun in D3?

Inferno is very reasonable now. I also enjoy the Monster Power and Paragon systems. I think the game is just a lot more fun and reminiscent of Diablo 2 now with the changes.

I have been playing hardcore mode with some friends and have gotten up to level 47. It's a lot of fun and adds a whole new dynamic to the game. The risk is much higher so the sense of accomplishment when you beat a tough boss(Belial!) is much more satisfying. You have to really think carefully about how to gear your character and lean more towards survivability than wtfdps. It's rather addictive.

I really like the new "monster power" and paragon stuff. It really adds to the replayability. However the main thing that got me going again was the dropped prices.

i should jump on to see whats going on there. maybe i can have fun again, except i changed phones and no longer have an authenticator. maybe i can fire up the phone and log in one last time

i would love to start a hardcore character. however, there are lag spikes quite a bit so I fear I would get killed by something that is completely out of my control

Yeah, it's really easy to deactivate even if you no longer have the phone it was on.

my biggest problem is that i switched from android to windows phone, which means there isn't an authentication app.

Yeah, I had to use an old blackberry for awhile. I was tempted to order one from blizzard but I just turned it off instead.

Does anyone know if this was going to get a Xbox 360 release?

instead of me just doing a big reply here on this particular subject, read my article about that here on ARPGamer:

Yeah, I could see that being a problem. My connection is usually stable but I have an old computer and sometimes it gets a bit choppy when a bunch of characters spawn at once. One time my computer froze and I had to reboot right when we attacked a group of enemies. I was so afraid I'd come back to find a dead character, but luckily my friends killed off all of the mobs and protected me before it disconnected my character. I think hardcore is generally a lot safer when you play in a group rather than solo. It really adds a new dynamic to the game and makes it a lot more fun, and challenging.

here is the gist -- It has been reported that blizzard does have the game up and running on consoles. however, it isn't far enough along to be called an official project yet. It is still unknown if a console release will be pursued. Personally I think it is doubtful that it will happen any time soon. It has also been announced that blizzard is working on an expansion right now. i am sure most of their resources are on top of that.

so in hard-core mode, if you die, your partner(s) can revive you?

No, your toon is dead for good, you lose all of the gear that toon was wearing, but you get to keep your gold. I just like to group up with friends because we have more access to a wider variety of spells and crowd control.

I run as a monk and my friends play a wizard and witch doctor. So I basically tank with the wizard doing dps and the witch doctor has dps, crowd control, and pets to help take some of the pressure off of me while tanking. But if I disconnect or something they just attack the mobs and divert them off of me and make sure I don't get killed until I return.

I decided to start working on my level 38 Barbarian last night. My level 60 paragon level 10 Demon Hunter needs a rest. LOL the reduced level requirement stuff is a great way to become a God quickly. I am fixing to be level 42. Last night I bought a level 60 weapon with 18 reduced level requirement. So I will be sporting that bad boy later on tonight. Nightmare difficulty is going to be a cake walk. I currently have a weapon that is 98 DPS, when I switch to my new one that will jump to 700 DPS. My total DPS is going to increase 8,000. Now, in inferno that isn't a big deal, but when you are in Nightmare difficulty at only level 42...that is an enormous jump.
