When can one expect to start seeing a higher frequency of blue loot and the introduction of purple loot?
Looks like it has gotten worse after the new update... I just finished the normal mode at lvl 35 when I lost my saved character because of their buggy icloud save feature. Stay away from that feature and you'll be fine. As for the controls, let's hope another update will sort it out. After coming from Diablo II in pc, I really was happy with the way this game is going so far...until I lost my character that is.
So whats everyones favorite style so far? I was going to say a bow build but I realized there isnt that many bows for some reason. I mean as an archer you miss out on any awesome drops as in any weapons that are not bows. So I came to thinking I should play a melee type of class with spell capability to maximize being able to use as much loot as possible if that makes sense? Since after all thats my favorite part of these types of games. So classes like Paladin or Juggernaught would be ideal to me.
Epic blue and greens start dropping regularly by Act 2 (Egypt) on normal. Legendary purple loot? I'm level 45 on Epic just starting Act 3... Haven't seen any yet. I even stuck around to kill the 2nd Telkine more than a dozen times. I'm hoping it comes soon because Act 3 is starting to get tough. Edit: Just got my first legendary (of course, its for caster and I'm melee) in Act 3 about 30% through. Was in a Majestic Chest behind a mini boss.
I'm finding plenty of bows. I've gone through several epic blue bows. I've been getting plenty of gear for caster, hunter, and melee. I've gotten plenty of awesome loot that I've had to vendor.
The sadness of getting my first legendary purple drop, A1 epic, only for it to be off class. Sword of Damocles..I am an archer. Why even have off class loot if there is no shared storage between characters?
Omg ouch! Thats why I swear I am going to make a class that can use most if not all weapons and armor. I think as an archer we definately drew the short side of the stick as far as drops will go. I mean we are limited to a bow pretty much.
You can copy your save game to your computer and then use the vault to extract the item. Not sure if it works, but I got it to view my save game stuff. Haven't tried reusing those saves though. Still, no excuse for not having a vault. Very frustrating.
Yeah, a vault would make this game infinitely more fun. It is ridiculously hard to try to get together any kind of armor set with the limited bag space available, and even worse when you find multiple pieces from one set but it's totally unusable for your class. That's one reason I've been enjoying my Slayer -- I can use bows, spears, or any melee weapons depend on how I re-spec. DPS isn't a problem, avoiding arrows and magic is. As an archer, there's some limited AOE, but the bugged warrior talents means I need to be able to take a beating in order to survive groups of mobs. (Also, I'm not convinced that all of the DW group stuff is bugged -- they're all bleed effects and on limited procs, so it's not that easy to observe directly. When I was specced full DW at the end of Act 3 Normal, I think I saw a few times where I switched to a new target and he was half dead, which made it look like something was working.)
Maybe they will add a vault in a future update. Since the devs don't talk here it feels like nothing will change.
Exactly how I feel about making a character that can put to use mose weapons and armor since there is no stash feature!
How the heck are some of you on epic difficulty? I've been playing all day for two days and just made it to Egypt on normal. I only had one crash right before the labyrinth so I didn't repeat much at all. Feels like a lot of work to try different builds too.
