Resurrecting this old thread. Picked this up on Xbox One a couple weeks ago and I have enjoyed playing through the campaign as I sit on the couch...
Luke - Can you tell me with all the expansions installed what is the end game in Diablo 3? What is adventure mode etc? I see you guys playing all the time so I assume the game doesn't just end.
The end game is really just finding different gear and improving stats on gear.
Adventure mode allows you to do Bounties, which are like quests, without having to go through any of the story cuts. Also, you can do Rifts, which are timed random dungeons that have a greater chance of legendary drops. Greater Rifts also give legendary gems, which are very powerful and can be leveled up by doing higher levels of Greater Rifts. So, once you have gone through the campaign once, there is really no reason to go back to it and Adventure mode offers an alternative way of playing.
I haven't played the console versions so I don't know if there are any major differences from the PC version.
Thanks that helps explain it. The console version is pretty much the same but some of the stuff is streamlined like unlimited health potions. No need to purchase them which is nice.
They actually changed this somewhat recently on the PC version. You did need to buy them or pick them up in the past though, unless you had one of the bottomless legendary potions. It was a nice change, because once you got one of the bottomless potions, health potions became a totally unnecessary part of the game.
Patch notes:
Greetings, nephalem!
Patch 2.4.0 is now live for Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Ultimate Evil Edition on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
This patch includes a variety of item and content updates, including (but not limited to):
New Zone: Greyhollow Island
The mysterious forested locale of Greyhollow Island is now open for exploration! Inhabited by new enemies and steeped in intrigue, brave the wilds and unravel the enigma behind the isle's mysterious inhabitants. Be forewarned, however; the land itself is hungry for blood.
To learn more about Greyhollow Island, click here.
Expanded Areas: The Eternal Woods & Leoric's Manor
The Sanctuary you know grows larger. Two existing zones are receiving new, fully explorable additions, featuring new bounties and events. Survive the hunting grounds of the fierce yeti in the Eternal Woods, a new branch of The Ruins of Sescheron zone. Leoric's Manor becomes a bit grander beyond the collapsed stairwell in Act I, opening up the Royal Quarters for curious treasure hunters.
New Feature: Set Dungeons
Test your mettle against one of twenty-four custom designed set dungeons! Each dungeon features a pre-generated, static course designed entirely around a specific class set. Don all six pieces of your chosen set and visit Leoric's Library to obtain a clue on where these hidden trials are located. Hunt down your dungeon of choice and master it to unlock exclusive cosmetic rewards for one, more, or for the truly dedicated, all of these challenges!
New Feature: Empowered Rifts
Spend your gold to empower a Greater Rift, granting a fourth opportunity to upgrade a Legendary Gem. Gold costs vary based on the tier of Greater Rift level attempted, and bonus upgrades are granted only to those who successfully complete the rift, so spend wisely!

Finished the story this weekend at about level 50. Checked out the "bounties" and "boss kills" that became available on the map. Pretty cool little quests to do for really good gear rewards. Then I tried the standard rifts. Basically a dungeon that you do with a counter on the screen for number of kills - when the number of kills goal is reached the rift guardian spawns. I successfully did two rifts - one was easy one was pretty hard (tons of adds during the boss). Now I need to figure out how to open up the Greater Rifts... It looks like a currency drops in the normal rifts that is used to do greater rifts.... Not sure if you need to be max level to open the greater rifts.

Tried an Online game last night. Went really well. Joined a quick match, got paired with another guy already in a rift. I teleported to him and we finished the rift together. He was lvl 56 and I was lvl 51 so it brought my level up to 56 just for the rift. Cool thing was all the gear I won was level 56 and I got to keep it after I left the game.

Finally hit 70 a couple days ago and started the end game stuff. I still have no idea how to craft gems and such but I started the higher rifts and got a key to a greater rift. I did a couple more rifts but no additional keys dropped.... I guess they aren't guaranteed to drop which is annoying.
From what I have read the bounties are where you get the set pieces and rifts are for gems? I replace gear so quickly that I don't know if it's worth gemming anything.
