Yes, rumors have it there are certain items which can only be crafted but not found.

My blacksmith is at level 5 atm but so far, he can't make anything really worth the gold, except maybe for lower level characters.

Meanwhile I managed to beat Diablo on Normal after leveling up my wizard to 33 and switching around active and passive skills. It was still quite the struggle with me being close to death more than once.

I found a black mushroom in another game on normal difficulty. The description seems to imply it is entirely useless (an easteregg perhaps?). Wasn't there a quest bug in Diablo 1 where Adria wanted a black mushroom which could never be found anywhere or something like that?

34 monk and 17 wizard currently.

So far, I've decided the blacksmith is about worthless due to the AH. Either I dump all of my items/gold to feed him for items with random stats or I go check out auctions for exactly what I want.

I'm sure I'll max him out at some point anyways. I would assume there's some max-level goodies only obtained from him... maybe?

All fights are easier with another player, since you can walk over and revive your buddy.

And what's nice about D3, there's no difference between single and multiplayer. Your friends can randomly decide to join you if you want.

I seem to be unable to beat Diablo with my level 32 Wizard on normal difficulty. Tried 10 times or so already and kept dying. I will have to go back and grind up a few levels I guess or maybe I should experiment more with the different spells and runes until I find something that works well.

With airplane prices dropping and fuel going up, it's now about as much for a tank of gas as it is to fly over to different capitals in Europe.

I paid �60 for a return flight to Dublin and �75 for my last gas tank. Shit is bonkers.

Wow. America still wins though. It's a thing here, when visiting the US, you always get gas before you leave. Something like 75% of Canada's population lives within 100 Miles (161 KM) of the US border, so.

You're joking right? We pay about double the price here in Europe compared to Canada :p

So, I'm on vacation right now (for five more days, too!) and I'm not getting any work done, sadly. I'm just having a blast wandering around and exploring. I don't have too much of a problem with the UK power outlets (I brought a robust converter kit), but the irregularity of their placement is somewhat jarring. In the US, outlets generally stick to the "1 foot off the floor whether you like it or not" arrangement, but here I have no idea what to expect. I've found plugs sticking out of baseboards, mounted to the side of desks, and in one particularly head-scratching moment, a room with a single plug located just under the radiator. WAT?

I tried doing a little coding on the long-arse flight over, but I was surrounded by three screaming kids. Not fucking cool.

P.S. Your petrol prices suck ;)

I got about 7-8 hours of play in yesterday (11 AM to 2 AM). But ya, not the most stellar of launch days.

I will admit, the "cloud" feature of being able to play/continue playing on any PC is nice. Hours of downtime rather sucks, but I will admit it's something I see (a) benefit in. Not many benefits, but certainly one. ;)

I released a mod this year. I think that doesn't qualify as a game, but it's a good boost of confidence that I should make a game :). Resolution in sight!

Still waiting for UPS. Guess I can't complain, since I wouldn't be able to play anyway. ;]

Honestly, not surprised the servers are having some issues.

It seems to be a worldwide battle.net problem. The infrastructure simply does not seem to be able to cope with the high number of connections from everywhere.

I don't really expect it to be back working anytime soon (although there is still some hope left) as last night on launch it took me almost 2h after official server launch before I got past the login screen.

I could play for a few hours already then and played another few this afternoon and finished Act I with my Wizard.

I do like the gameplay a lot so far because it's very fast paced and you can almost always continue to hack and slash while you're listening to bits and pieces of the lore and to quest updates.

Me too. For us it's server maintenance. I have to go kill another hour before it's expected to come back online.
