Which one is unique? The orange ones? I have yet to find one, but one guy I grouped with the other day found 2 (one when I was with him, and one the day before) in Act 3 normal.
So I'm thinking I should have gave this game an F in my review in the we review games thread at least in the bugs section. Why? Because the game is unplayable. I'm unable to log in to the server. WTH!! I paid $60 for this crap? I get it Tuesday mornings they do maintenance, so I started a Civ5 game. I finished my Civ5 game yesterday, so today I want to play some Diablo 3. I did get in to the auction house about 1 hours ago, and bought 5 items wiping out all my gold. But then I had to make a phone call to set up an appointment, and I got sidetracked with that. Now I go to play and the servers are down.
Not being able to play the game is a bug in my opinion. The game is unplayable right now.

Normal's pretty faceroll, I just beat the out of everything on my monk without too much trouble. Think I died to Azmodan a couple times, but that was about the only time I died on normal. So far nightmare's about the same, but with a few mobs that've caught me off guard and killed me.
And oddly enough, I've actually had next to zero issues logging in. Even on release day I only timed out logging in a couple times. Since then I think I've only disconnected twice. Given that I'm playing from NZ, you'd think I would have had more issues.

That's what you get for supporting abusive DRM schemes.Which one is unique? The orange ones? I have yet to find one, but one guy I grouped with the other day found 2 (one when I was with him, and one the day before) in Act 3 normal.

It's not like if it hadn't been called on several times even before the game was released.

Well they were patching. Apparently there was a problem with patch 1.02. So they released 1.02A 2 days later. Just bad timing on my part. I can't play in the evening hours, I can only play during the daytime. And that is when they patch the most often. 
2 words. Vampiric Plagued. Stay away from these dudes. Just found one on Act 1 Nightmare. I really don't know how to kill it. I'm not sure what plagued does, but obviously vampiric means he heals himself. I'm kind of lost on the strat for this guy. I don't want to look it up, so I just left the game and re-entered.

Plagued put the green stuff on the ground which you need to not stand in. For a ranged champion that combo is pretty easy. A difficult combination would be something like Mortars, arcane, and then two out of Extra health, shielding and invulnerable. Arcane stops you from being close, mortars means that standing away is dangerous and then the other two make it difficult to burst them down.

I think they're probably the toughest regular enemies in the game.
The hardest elite/champion combo I've seen so far (nightmare) is a frozen/arcane enchanted mix. I got frozen in place and then those turrets chopped me up.

I'm pretty sure that battletags are intended to be just that - non-sensitive, non-private info that can be used to network people in Blizzard games. They're Blizzard's answer to the backlash they got from RealID.
I'm also pretty sure that the official D3 forums display the person's battletag (after you click on their name). So it can't be that private =P

I don't think they are sensitive. They aren't part of your account name. Mine is DarkAvenger3#1973. Dummy me I was trying to get rid of the 1973, so I added a 3, and already used up my name change. I wanted just Dark Avenger.
The good thing is I can use a character called DarkAvenger in game. That is one thing I like about those account names. I don't have to worry about the "good" names being taken. Despite having good names available, one random party I ran with had a guys character name of "fartbox". *sigh*.

Here's a silly bug I can't believe they missed. If you use enchantress for a follower, and then leave the city at the start of Act 2 and you encounter the enchantress again, she joins your party and you have 2 enchantresses.

It's not a bug. First of all, it's temporary, and if you listen carefully, you should hear that there are some slightly different dialogues.

Yeah that's on purpose, I had the templar when I encountered him again in Act 1 Nightmare, and there is some slightly different dialogue.

How do you remove people from the list of names of people you recently played with? I'm never going to play with them again, so why are they there? I still have the character name of fartbox I played with last week. *sigh* I don't want to see that every time I push O. It makes my friends list large and unwieldy.

From what I could look up, there is no way to disable it.
Got my witch doctor to 52 and defeated Nightmare difficulty. Anyone know if bosses scale in this game? I was level 52 when I took on Diablo in Nightmare, and he was pretty damn easy. Diablo was easier in Nightmare than Normal difficulty for some reason. Actually I know the reason, I'm geared much better than I was in normal. That is one thing that makes this game easier than Diablo 2. The auction house. In Diablo 2 I got bored in Nightmare because I could never find good gear. Even this game I can't find any good gear that drops. The auction house is my savior. Without it, my dps would probably still be around 1000. right now my dps is at 3500.
So I bought my first legendary. I may have paid too much for it 150k. But it looked so awesome. It upped my dps by about 800 I believe. It was a level 52 ceremonial knife. Now I'm poor again.

Yeah I have to say the Auction House seems to be quite helpful to increase DPS. I never seem to get high DPS items myself. Who are these people who get it? Lucky bastards.
I did sell something for 85K the other day. I have no idea if I got a lot of money or got shafted. I find it hard to sell intelligently in the AH, I have no idea what decent prices are.

I like 'fartbox' marginally more than 'darkavenger' as a character name.

bah! Just for that I challenge you to a duel. Oh wait. Duels aren't in this game.
