I've level 1 gambled every season it has been an option and I've never gotten a legendary from it.

It's not.

This season I've probably either go hammerdin or shield thrower depending on which items show up first.

Do people still play this?

I don't have the necro dlc, but have RoS. Should I start EU or NA? I've played both in the past, but the Goon guild seemed quite dead in both regions.

As I understand it, the Necro dlc isn't necessary unless you want to play a Necro (it does give you two more stash tabs, though.)

And the guilds aren't really a thing anymore, afaik, in the US you'll want to join the LLJK channel and bitch about drops with the rest of us.

I've never played crusader before and I think I might give it a try this season. How good/bad is Roland's for a starter set?

Irrc the Crusader set depends on finding a Golden flense and also a (for some reason ) non crusader regular shield.

So getting the build up and running could take awhile.

RIP the streak of starting seasons together. :(:hf::( Had to be at least 3 of them, maybe 4.

I debated not doing this season but I think I'll just make a weekend out of it and call it good. Going barb.

Me too, buddy...me too. Plus, I have Spider-Man and Tomb Raider keeping me busy until Assassin's Creed drops in early October, and from then on it's just a shitshow.

Speaking of Conquests, we’re rotating those, too! Returning for Season 15 is Sprinter/Speed Racer, where you’re challenged to complete all of Diablo III’s campaign from Act I to Act V at level 70 in under 1 hour! Next, we have Avarice/Avaritia, where all that glitters is gold—that is, if you can complete a 50 million gold streak outside of The Vault or its Inner Sanctum. Boss Mode/Worlds Apart is a different kind of race; destroy all the bosses in Diablo III at max level on Torment X before your 20-minute timer ends! A fan-favorite for those who enjoy unconventional builds, The Thrill/Superhuman requires completion of a Greater Rift level 45 to be completed Solo, but without any Set items equipped. Finally, Masters of the Universe/Masters of Sets stretches your class set knowledge by requiring a Mastery Rank completion of 8 different Set Dungeons; get ready to start collecting!

Season of Tedium. Bleh, that '8 set dungeons mastered'.

Yup, someone's sleeping on the job.

E: Looks like they are delaying it by an hour, likely due to someone forgetting how time zones work. Last season ended over 4 hours late apparently (at least on EU), so who knows. I hope NA kicks off on time; they should all be awake by then.

Anyone have any tips for the current Challenge Rift? Have never played a Necro and this seems both confusing and squishy.

Go back through the last page or two. Serrod, I think, gave a breakdown of it.

Is the Bones of Rathma set fun? Is it easy to get going?

I'm only doing one char to unlock the last stash tab, and it's either that or whirlwind barb.

I did the Challenge Rift on a non-season char like an idiot :gonk:

I’m going to start a hardcore seasonal character today. I have very little idea what I’m doing.

What do I need to know about the challenge rift? When should I do it? What’s the point of it?

If you beat the challenge rift in time, you get a cache with a bunch of crafting mats and gold, which you can claim (through the little in game mail icon) with your brand new seasonal character. So it's a great way to start off your season with a few million gold and a bunch of mats. Among other things it lets you immediately train up all the blacksmith, gemsmith, and transmog lady to their max levels.

Edit: so as to when, you want to make a seasonal character first, then do the challenge rift, then switch back to your seasonal character and claim the cache.

How are people so high up in para levels already? I also heard that someone knocked out the t13 1-hour full game run at nearly 4 hours into the season start.

It only requires TX, but it happened before the season had been live for three full hours.

Could you use an alt to hold games open and basically chain/share rift bonuses for extra exp?

Season 15 continues my unbroken streak of not getting anything from Kadala off my Challenge cache, a goose egg for every season it has been available. Statistically, you'd think I'd have gotten something by now. But alas.

You've spent all 500 shards on 25x Shard items for 4 seasons and never once gotten a legendary of any kind?
