Last season I got 5 of them, this season I have found 1 at lvl 58 :( |

I am having a very difficult time gearing my baby barbarian. |

What's the deal with joining a public rift game and getting bitched out by EVERYONE when you close the rift after the RG? I want bloodshards, not the random small chance that another legendary drops.

View Quote I have several times hit packs of treasure goblins after going down a level from the rift guardian. If you make the game tell everyone the rules when they join, simple. That said, I don't have a problem with closing the rift after the guardian is dead unless I have blood shards on the ground. If I do, I try and let everyone know not to close the rift just yet. |

Rifts have the highest drop rates in the game. I prefer clearing the rifts completely. Additionally I see 1 blood goblin every few rifts so its worth clearing. Especially with Kadala's shitty drop rates. |

That's part of the fun....actually having a bit of risk involved with the game. Keeps it interesting. I was already working on a wizard...I know they're weak and boring but I have a soft spot for them. Anyway, with the highest gem in a helm and cain's set, just running adventure bounties and rifts on hard with the additional +70% XP boost from gear has me at level 60 something already, so I'll be back to 70 farming in hardcore by tomorrow or so. Still a little pissed about my monk though. |

Started a hardcore barbarian last 26Mar.. Hit lvl70 30Mar.
Found one of those amulets that revives you one time and self destructs. It saved my ass right around level 68. Got caught in firechains, walls and arcane sentry with nothing left to get out of it. |

I'm out until next week and my thought is to skip out on season 3. Maybe I will change my mind but I'm not seeing anything that knocks my socks off for S3. I'll probably level a crus to 70 and then go back to my regular barb (started in S1).
Feel free to argue why I should do a full run of the season! |

Getting a few pieces of gear early was never a very good incentive to play seasons in my opinion. The game still lacks that drive to make me want to try other characters or builds as there is a clearly defined best for each class.
They still haven't figured out what made Diablo 2 such a classic and it's sad. |

I had barely any desire at all to play in multiplayer mode in D3 (back when I still played). Diablo 2 had 8-player games, also gave you the option of creating your own game "titles", allowing someone to play a long string of "pick up" runs in a public setting. Players had the ability to clear different acts of the game at the same time, no "forced" cooperation like there is in Diablo 3. D2 had a better loot system, and great PVP (pvp in hardcore mode was quite an adrenaline rush) When they decided to take away the only part of D3 that had kept me slightly addicted (maximizing profits and building perfected sets of gear through the auction house), I was finished. |

Season 2 is now over and I have a ton of assorted crap to sort through. Too bad we can't have a garage sale. Not sure it is worth the hassle to do Season 3. My regular toons did get 41 additional paragon points though.

Got burned out on how long the season was dragging out for, and pretty much stopped playing. S2 I pretty much just leveled a character to 70 for the transmogs. As of right now, that's where the lure ends with seasons IMO. They really don't hold enough interest for me otherwise. It's rather disappointing. |

Screw Blizzard, I am sick and tired of spending countless hours collecting pieces for the latest ultimate toon build only to have it rendered completely worthless when a new patch comes out. If they want to keep people interested add new sets and pieces and don't penalize people with stuff they worked hard to collect. I think I am done with this game unless their philosophy changes drastically in the future. Too bad they took a good concept and screwed it up royally.

is it just to get that "starting from scratch" feel, or is there some other loot benefit etc? |
