Diablo 3 not going to be a lot easier in a random group in Inferno

[Cairhiin]

For now we've always assumed that the group scaling mechanics work the same in Inferno as in normal, which is apparently incorrect. Information from the strategy guide has leaked to show us that monster damage and HP do increase per player the higher the difficulty. Even with these values, due to synergy a good group of friends is probably still better than solo (that is ignoring the henchman) but your random pick up group will be harder.

	Normal	Nightmare	Hell	Inferno
Monster HP increase per additional player	75%	85%	95%	110%
Monster XP increase per additional player	0%	0%	0%	0%
Monster DMG increase per additional player	0%	5%	10%	15%

Here's an excellent post that sheds some light on the numbers: http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/com...-it#more-19519

Skeleton King Inferno health 15Millionx4 players = A very long time

Jeez <.<

My first thought was I don't wanna be the person in a 4 man group who takes that 170k (272k!) hit from Armaddon.

Don't worry man. I'll take that hit for you...I'll be on my monk and hopefully pop Serenity as it happens so I take no damage ; )

Ffffff, this is going to be awesome... anyone got any tips on how to induce a coma until Tuesday?

This is why you don't get hit.

This is what we've learned: Barbarians aren't meant for HC Inferno.

[Cairhiin]

Has anyone thought about this (not sure if possible):

Extra Fast, Extra Strong, Nightmarish, Waller Armaddon super unique boss in inferno.

PS: Youarefired, your signature is mesmerizing.

Any melee class will experience its own Inferno in Inferno especially Barbarian

You run and you keep running and hope he gets tired of chasing you.

You can't easily run away from Wallers, they put up walls in your path. Boss mobs can create V shaped walls, champions only short straight walls.

I am afraid that this game is gonna be a killer.

(no I don't mean a WOW killer), but a killer in the on line genre although it is not even an MMORPG and not even published on consoles (yet).

Everything points this way.

I KNOW a lot of people play MMO's for dungeon/raid crawling and the gear chase.

Well this game is dungeon/gear chase on steroids.

With all the negative side effects of a dungeon play deleted: waiting times (zero in D3), douche bag presence (Battletag friends), downtime and distribution of loot/ninja (none in D3), challenge (YOUR choice), awards (10 times more), extreme fast playing time and bursty playing sessions, solo it all, ...

Add the fact that EVERY high gear piece WILL have a certain real money value and you see the dynamite hanging.

This game will kill the day it launches.

I can think of only ONE negative point right now and that is the lack of gear bragging while standing in a public city. An armory or some add on with a ladder would solve this too even.

No doubt about it: it will the biggest launch of a PC game since WOW and it will only grow further after launch (another WOW like feature).

[Synche]

Those who try to do Inferno with randoms are just asking for trouble.

[NatePsy]

I'm not going near groups for Inferno.. I have a feeling there's gonna be a lot of trolls joining groups and purposely wiping players.

you should freeze yourself and make a friend unfreeze you on the 14th 1hour before midnight! it worked out fine for cartman... i guess 8>

interesting find imo: the barbarian shown in one of the pictures of the armory already has a radiant star gem socketed in his gear.. and hes only lvl 59. ofc this might just be for testing purposes, or it might imply that theres an easier way of obtaining radiant stars than has been thought up till now.

anyways... im totally pumped!
