The Best Diablo 3 Power Leveling and Speed Guide

05/13/2012 By TLN

Hello My Fellow Little Nerds!

 

I want to share with you a couple of reasons why it sucks to be at a low level in Diablo 3.

First off, Diablo 3 is a game about items, 90% of the end game will be about magic finding the best gear, and also, making money, but that just circles around to once again, having the best gear.

Low level characters don’t make the minimum requirement to use good unique and set items because their stats are not up to par yet, hence you can’t magic find efficiently. It hurts your character progress and it takes up space in your backpack.

You can try and get something cool from the auction house, but it wouldn’t work for you until much later because you can’t use it.

You can’t go on quests with your higher level friends

It’s like being a ‘feeder’ in League of Legends or Dota2.

People will always need to watch your back. You become an easy target for the mobs. Your team mates need to spend more healing spells on you to keep you alive.

And worst of all, you do not contribute as much damage for the team.

You cannot play at their level and the worst case scenario is that they will be forced to leave you behind.

You can’t use the best skills for your character

Everyone knows that the best stuff are all at the end.

Back in the ol D2 days, people were dying to get whirlwind for the Barbarian(early d2 days). Endless grinding and killing all day just to get that. Pfft, no thanks.

You can prevent all that with Jonathan Bradley Smith’s latest power leveling guide called Diablo 3 Speed.

 

You must learn from him experience.

It contains cutting edge information that will propel you to level 60 in no time because it contains a step by step fast track to max out your character.
Gone are the days of killing the same mob over and over again for XP, this great method laid out in detail in the guide, GUARANTEES that you will be above your friends level, with at least 33% less playtime.

If you want to do things the smart way, be sure to check out his guide because you don’t want to be left behind and get called a noob! 😛

First Things to Do when Playing Diablo 3

04/06/2012 By TLN

Once Diablo 3 Releases in about a month, I’ve been wondering what activity I will engage in first. I want to make sure I am prepped to start the pwning of ez pz monster as soon as possible. Here is my short list of things to do looking towards the release of D3.

1. Pre-install the game! I don’t want to wait to install d3, I want it ready and I want to play it now.
2. Take off a few days of work! Yep, I will be taking off ATLEAST a single day of work, and I am sure to not be the only one.
3. Food! Prep your food, hot pockets, butt pillows, portable toilets, etc.
4. Friends! Find a group to play with before it is released so that you guys can jump right into the game and can already pick out your characters and everything.

That’s really about it. Remember to have fun, don’t stay up more than 48 hours without sleep and… will you keep your items, or try to make a quick gold dollar on that new improved shaco helmet!?!

Diablo 3: New Tristram

04/05/2012 By TLN

The dark and foul place that once caged Deckard Cain prisoner is making its return for Diablo 3!

 

“New Tristram is a town in central Khanduras which was built near the ruins of Old Tristram. It was founded by merchants in an unknown year after the events of Diablo II to capitalize on the popularity of the legends and folklore of the Cathedral of Old Tristram. People slowly settled down and built a town. After the Cathedral was plundered, people lost interest and the town fell into decline.”

Diablo 3 New Tristam

Tristram Lore

We have all heard the tales associated with Tristram. The very mention of its name brings to mind images of undead monstrosities, demonic possession, “King Leoric” monarchy driven to lunacy, and, of course, the greatest legend of all – the Lord of Terror unleashed. Although many now claim that a peculiar mold upon the bread or perhaps a fouling of the water drove the populace mad with visions, I have seen too much in my varied travels to dismiss such stories out of hand. It is within this context, then, that I have to say my journey to what is now called “New Tristram” was somewhat of a disappointment. New Tristram has been in existence for several years, though the exact date of its founding is unclear. Originally simply a collection of merchants looking to profit on adventurers and travelers drawn by legends of riches within the old cathedral, it slowly set down roots and became an established town. As soon as the cathedral was looted bare, however, the adventurers and travelers stopped coming, and New Tristram found itself in decline. The town is now comprised mostly of depressing shacks; the inn is the only building that looks even the least bit habitable. Before I took my leave of this dreary place, I was cornered by Deckard Cain an eccentric old man who seemed to have an endless supply of anecdotes and folksy wisdom to impart. He went on about there still being much of value deep within the cathedral in the form of tomes of ancient origin and wisdom. I will have to take his word for it, for I must admit that while I did explore the burnt remains of the “old” Tristram, I lacked the intestinal fortitude to do much more than take a few hesitating steps within that infamous cathedral of legend.

Diablo 3 Inferno Details

04/05/2012 By TLN

In Diablo 3, there is a new super hard game mode, like Hell, but harder!

This mode is called inferno and should be a good experience for people who strive for a challenge and might not mind a few deaths.

With the recent revelation of the beginning of Inferno becoming slightly easier, did the rest become harder in compensation?

Yes, the Acts each get significantly more difficult than they were before when it was all one level.
Sorry, to clarify, the beginning of Inferno is not any easier than it was before. We’ve only made Inferno harder. (Source)

So, what is the incentive for players to fight their butt off in order to get to later Act in inferno? Just to prove because they can?
Achievements. Banner decoration. Bragging rights. … Fun?

I mean it’s like asking “Why do you play video games?”, right? Most of the time the answer is “Because I enjoy it.” and that’s going to mean something different to everyone. When you hit 60 in Diablo III, you have everything available to you in the game as far as game systems go, you’ve beaten the game at least three times already on previous difficulties… why are you still playing?

If you want to hit Inferno and then be happy to just try to farm up a perfect gear set in Act I and never progress, and never want to try to test yourself against more difficult content … well I might ask why you’re building a perfect set, but whatever, if you’re having fun more power to you.

Someone working hard to progress all the way to Inferno (Nightmare and Hell are no picnics) just to stop at Inferno and be happy with just playing Act I and never attempting to beat the game seems kind of unlikely. If you do that’s cool, but it’s a hypothetical situation that I think would be pretty rare because it just doesn’t mesh with why people are playing, or what they need to do to achieve their goals.
