is it possible that my char got corupted or something ?
Any sujestions on how to fix it pls .
thx.

It was either an issue back when the big crash happened a couple days ago or your character is simply stuck in the last game (perhaps you got disconnected?).

If it's the second case, just wait a while. If it's not fixed within an hour, hopefully the daily reset clears it out. If that still doesn't solve it, then I dunno.

I was doin fautz and i got stuck , i had like a 10 secs delay from picking up an item from inv , i just exit and tryed to create another game , and then it happend .

I will try to enter again on an hour or so , i hope it will fix .

I had a similiar issue .... went out for a smoke and came back 10 mins later with no issues. Prob just server not releasing your char for a few mins.

? I've been doing Tran Athulua runs on my barb, MF about 329%, 579% or so with magic potion. I've gotten set pieces for literally every other set in the game, including the tribute set; but I have yet to obtain Earth or FIre, I've gotten Water eight bloody times now, but never Fire or Earth. Is there anywhere I can go that may have a better chance of dropping them? I cannot trade for them, as I am running a SP game.

Well that give's me some hope .

All these MOs that have been removed (esp the 'Enemy Resists reduced by X%' ones...

It seems these were a big damage boost (all the guides I've read use them) so how are we supposed to get round that? Was the idea to make the game harder?
I see damage has increased in a few skills for some classes,but the way it's worded it doesn't sound like it's enough to compensate. Is there some other way I'm missing (docs don't seem updated for 2017).

It's difficult to follow any of the guides that used -%Res MOs before because you think... might not work any more. I just don't wanna waste hours levelling a char and then have to mothball it... but I'm hoping there's a work-around.

Well the bow is a class specific item so naturally it has a more rare drop rate slightly. Other gear differs. For example, leather gloves in Duncraig have one of the lowest item drop rates, and light belts in general are rare across the board.

It depends on what area you can clear most efficiently. K3KBA has a "set drop bias" but in my experience every season, Duncraig and Tran drop the most SU's and sets.

Quantity of Mf runs is the best thing when trying to find items, not so much "gotta run Duncraig but I can only do it very slowly" ya know?

More kills = more chances. Find the areas you're efficient in and just keep going and hope you get it.

Single player trading does exist too. It just becomes a matter of TCP/IP games or trading save files, and mulling over.

By no means a Median XL expert, but it seems that the need for these huge -res requirements were heroic shields on bosses. This concept (heroic shields) have been removed with the damage crunch. I believe that now, the most -res you'd need would be about 95% which should be obtainable without too much trouble.

*Edit* As for a "workaround" I believe they expanded the items that could be shrine crafted to include most if not all items, so you can use your Fascinating and Ornate and (whatever the cold and poison shrine names are) shrines to craft gear with +elemental damage and -elemental resists.
