Its a great idea, for both Blizzard and consumers. Blizzard will make a f**k load of money off the 15% cut, and those that want to pay can pay. The biggest mistake they made was releasing D3 without the real money AH being set up, I've already grown bored of the game and won't invest any money but when it was first released I might have.

Personally I don't have the time nor the desire to farm/grind for days on end to get decent gear. It would take me weeks to earn what I can buy with an hour's wage at work. However I won't, because I'm bored of the game already. The biggest issue at the moment is everyone is putting everything up at $250 and selling nothing. In a month or so people will gradually drop their prices realise that their super leet epic gear will only go for a few bucks anyway.

The only people upset by this change (it's not really a change because you could easily buy gear in D2 anyway, now its just official and safer) are the hardcore gamers who have the time to invest hundreds of hours into the game. There's no loss there anyway, its not like these people will be so disgruntled as to never buy another Blizzard game. They're hardcore gamers, they'll be first in line to buy the next game.

lvl 41 wizard here. ACT 2 nightmare. Find it easy enough by myself but introduce someone else into the game and I suck balls.

Need to increase my damage drastically. I could probably sacrifice some life, at the moment i have 13k...

Actually here is a question for anyone that might know. What stats do you think are the most important on items for your wizard?

I have been thinking:

Intelligence

Vitality

(No Idea)

Ive been reading on the forums and they have different idea's. Leaning more towards

Intelligence

Crit Dmg and Chance

Vitality

Walking Speed

Some even suggest Lift on hit.

Thoughts?

i hope your right. and hopefully blizz spends some of its 15% on keeping the servers running and maintained.

I went for Intel + Vitality as well, look for + crit stuff, helped me massively.

After spending a couple hundred k, damage went from near 900 to 5k, health has also spiked to 35k.

I am 57 now, saving my cash for 60 and inferno.

So it then goes in your CC?

What did you have to sign up to to get into the real money section? Thing is i guess if you only put in little amounts things will sell. I read some comments on toms hardware basically saying that they dont think that the game and following is strong enough to be similar to WOW character sales as yet. I have seen some sales on here for WOW characters going for $100..... if thats what people are willing to buy some of the equipment for thats it, i am going all out on this game

It goes to your PayPal :)

I haven't sold anything yet, but I'll just keep lowering prices. If I make $10 in my whole life out of the game, that's $10 I've made playing videogames.

I agree that the following is not/may not ever be as big as WoW, but the attraction of real money will bring quite a few people in.

The amount of items listed is crazy, In my opinion it would be very rare that someone finds a item you have listed and bids or buys it. Going by that I list the items very cheap just to check out the demand. I've had better luck selling items for gold. I sold a ring for 200K, don't even remember what it was maybe I should have kept it lol.

I'm on act 4 inferno with my wizard. Pushing out 44k dps after buffs. Still uselss in act 4 even with 600+ all resistances. You get one shotted. My repair bills are 35k each time it hits yellow. I've spent 600k+ on repairs alone on inferno. Not fun...

As someone mentioned, save your money for inferno act 2 onwards. Act 3 onwards can't even barely get nep valors. Elites will smash the whole the group in a matter of secs. Melee are useless and tanks drop so fast as if they were wearing no gear. Range have the advantage with kiting and slowing down foes whilst dishing out huge aoe dps.

I'm at the same stage, im in the middle of act 1 inferno and I can't get more than 10K gold for items no matter how good they are. got a lower lvl barb and dh but playing through the same game over and over to get to the harder difficulties just feels like a chore now, I cant imagine playing through the game another 6 to 8 times to get the other chars to lvl 60.

Also did anyone find any particular act or quest that was actually fun to play?

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.

      Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?

      R34 N/a And R34 Turbo (gtt) Transmission.. Uh, Problem.

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man

      Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
