I'm definitly saving my gems for this patch though, I currently am only up to crafting square gems... want to combine all my lower level ones but the price is rediculous.

I'm already confused.. what's going on???

the cost of combining gems for the first 7 levels is being reduced by a magnitude of like 95% as well as reducing the number of gems required

For example:

Flawed was 3 Chipped + 500 gold now 2 Chipped + 10 gold
Normal was 3 Flawed + 750 gold now 2 Flawed + 25 gold

Started up the launcher at 7 this morning, patched in 30 seconds and in game within the minute.

Not sure why people are having problems with updates.

I installed the pre installer, which i would assume 80% out there did too.

Mentioned several times in the tech thread - go to your bliz account, download D3 install file, make sure it's the engUS version (if not change it), and point it to your install directory. This will ensure you're syncing the patch file with the US version as I bet it's currently trying to sync. with the EU one (you purchased your game instore didn't you?).

sweet so crappy gems can be made good, that's great.

long as the rest are still worth a bit cause i've spent cash making them!

Can anyone tell me which is better as a demon hunter-

10% damage increase on primary skill, or 100 dexterity?

So skill goes from 125% to 135% weapon damage. Dexterity claims 100% increase in weapon damage? But is skill damaged calculated after dexterity is applied?

I'd go for dex as it's pure addition to the base for all calculations iirc.

I think something to consider is I already have 1500 dex. So adding another 100 is only 6% increase in dex. Whereas if the dmg is calcuated after dex, it is a true 10% increase?

so 1600 + 125% dmg or 1500 + 135% dmg

im at work and cant seem em - can some1 please post up the patch notes.
Thx

Also i heard that Act1 Inferno now has a lvl i63 items dropping (previously it was just act 3/4)

... and that they are tweaking act 2, 3, 4 and making it easier ?

Is this true?

hopefully with them making the last 2 acts easier the repair costs should even out, atm in act 2 i will have a 5-6k repair on every boss/elite/yellow I vs

for patch notes

Diablo III Patch Notes
Diablo III Patch 1.0.2b – v.1.0.2.9950

General
When logging into Diablo III, the "Cancel" button which appears in the login checkbox will now be grayed out for 30 seconds after a Battle.net account name and password are entered. This is to reduce server load during the login process.

Auction House
Damaged items can now be sold on the auction house
Once sold, damaged items will be repaired automatically when moved from the purchasing player's Completed tab to their stash
Please note that unsold damage items will not be automatically repaired when returned to the seller's stash
Description messages for several auction house-related errors have been added

Mac
Several Mac performance improvements have been made

Bug Fixes
General
It is no longer possible to skip entire Acts in a multiplayer game
Classes
-Barbarian
--Active Skills
Fixed a bug that was allowing certain barbarian skills to continuously trigger each other's critical strikes, to the point of causing the player to crash. To address this crash, the following skill and skill rune combinations can no longer be triggered by each other's critical strikes:
Battle Rage (Skill Rune - Bloodshed)
Cleave (Skill Rune - Rupture and Skill Rune - Scattering Blast)
Hammer of the Ancients (Skill Rune - Thunder Strike)
Wrath of the Berserker (Skill Rune - Slaughter)

Followers
Monsters who are charmed by the Enchantress's skill "Mass Confusion" can no longer kill event NPCs
If you find the play experience undesirable you may exit the game and resume this download.

with that said the Ilvl is not updated in this patch but will be in 1.03

We just had patch 1.02b...its very minor and doesnt include the changes that the previous few posts have mentioned, they are for the upcoming 1.03
