The Diablo challenge is seriously irking me. You have to beat him without healing. Sounds simple but he spits out random health globes during the fight and they are almost impossible to avoid :(

FYI everyone I read on the official forums that Easy/Normal/Hard make no difference for XP gains, gold & item drops, etc. They only affect monster damage/toughness.

Increased gains and drops only apply to Master I - V.

Master I-V is rough on Hell. It can make a 5 minute boss fight a 15 minute one.

Farming Nightmare Diablo is the best way I have found to get good drops early on. He is extremely weak on easy and you can load up and fight him over and over without doing the whole mission. Got 6-7 legendary and a ton of decent rares from him.

I only get an hour or 2 to play at a time so neither of my characters are that far. I'm still on my first play through.

I don't recommend farming much on Normal. The gear differential from Normal to Nightmare is crazy. You will replace everything almost immediately.

If you need anything to help you get through normal just let me know. I keep pretty much everything I find to pass along to people.

Downed Diablo in Nightmare mode a little while ago. Yay, on to Hell mode. I'm finally back to where I left off on PC.

I originally chose the Monk this time because he'd be a good wingman when I jumped in to other peoples' games, but he ended up being a ton of fun even when I'm alone because my internet is being all New Jersey-ish.

It's so fun to stand there dodging mallet demons' swings and punching their ankles to death :D

+edit+ finally hit 60 and completed Hell mode, now I can farm Inferno whee

So I just needlessly wasted 3 hours trying to get the rare merchants to spawn a spirit stone. (For the "Shut up and take my money" achievement. Apparently the 360 version has patched this so they regularly spawn in normal town merchants inventories. Simply needed to keep reloading act III and got one. This effectively made one of the most annoying challenges on PC very easy for this version.

Finished normal today at level 31. Gonna start my 2nd playthrough tomorrow. I must say, I am quite enjoying this version of the game over the pc version. Plus the drop rate is insane. I lost count of how many legendaries I got just playing on normal. On pc I didn't get my first legendary drop until I was close to level 60 on my first character.

I'll go back to the pc version eventually and give it a try. My character on there still has close to 90 million gold and is decked out. For now I'm enjoying the console version to much.

Got my Hardcore barbarian to level 30, thank pasta for Easy difficulty.

So now I'm actually playing the game again for reals, Inferno mode Master I difficulty with my monk. It's slow-going but not too terrible. Loot is of course still terrible because of where I am but the enemies aren't too bad.

I did die once when a boss zombie and her minions walled me into a corner and shocked the shit out of me, but it was a death I saw coming, not the WTF out of nowhere kind.

Oh also, I found a freakin' set piece! Hell mode Diablo dropped Inna's Vast Expanse.
