I think I can say with confidence that the OT will be up by 10PM CDT (likely before). Mostly just final formatting is left.

Content updates will be added throughout the week and after launch as I've temporarily cut some corners to get it out faster.

This was my first OT, so I'm glad you've all been patient (well, some of you ). If I make another elaborate one, I know now the time involvement.

So you're not launching with PvP then?

OT time frame

Who do you think you are, Blizzard?

You're not Blizzard.

When the time comes, people will not remember that the OT was late, just that it was good.

 

[StriKeVillain]

Also, if some of you want to pass the time. ManvsGame is streaming a run through of D2.

Have you considered Path of Exile? It's the best Diablo clone ever... I'm totally addicted to it, and I've played most if not all the Diablo clones there are.

It's the black soulstone <,<...?

It'll be red when it's in a usb socket.

I was expecting a throwback to D1, at least it glows.

 

[JoeBoy101]

Got a question, if I'm getting the CE, is there anyway I can preload? Do I just need to wait for my box?

 

[Majine]

Yoshi, do you know at what local time we can start installing the game?

Yeah you can Official D3 launch prep guide

DL installer, and pre-install a few hours before it unlocks. Then just tie your cd-key to your b.net account once it arrives. This is what I am doing too.

Yoshi, do you know at what local time we can start installing the game?

8:01 a.m. PDT on May 14.

 

[Yoshichan]

Yoshi, do you know at what local time we can start installing the game?

Yes! 8:01 a.m. PDT
Around 17:00 (5pm) for me!

 

[Majine]

Suh-weet.

I got the battlekey taken care of, but the guide doesn't say anything about getting a physical copy and DLing the installer. Doesn't matter I guess, since the entire game, sans patches, is on the discs. No big deal.

 

[Yoshichan]

DON'T "you poor" ME, YOU HEAR ME?

 

[Majine]

Oh man, I have to go to work and I get to play before Yoshichan? You poor bastard. : (

Uh that's just the installation. The servers open up at midnight that night, no?

 

[Kalnos]

these are all confirmed as actual downloads for the pre-downloads. However you won't be able to install these files until just before launch.

I think the 2pac song krazey has some appropriate lyrics.

puffin on lye. Hopin' that it gets me high. Waitin for D3 and OT got me goin cra-zyyyy

Big sum up of the Diablo III Developer Chat Q&A can be found here So many questions...

 

[Yoshichan]

No one in my raid can focus on the actual bosses because of Diablo 3... FUCK.

 

[windowlurker]

Give me a fucking code.

 

[goldensun]

Every time I see this topic bumped I think it's the OT at first glance. I'm gonna go mad by the time it's out

 

[Kalnos]

Q: Will you make inferno difficulty easier if people will start telling you that you made it too hard and they cannot beat it, even that it is beatable at this point? Cause I remember in 90s games required skill to beat them and it would be nice to have at least one that kind of game at this point, without life regenerating itself etc.

A: Jason Bender - Inferno isn't for everyone. We would like to keep it as challenging as possible. Also, don't forget Hardcore mode. That's retro-hard!

Hopefully they stick to their guns on this.

 

[Filth]

Why are eastcoasters getting screwed with the release time!

Also I have a wedding the whole weekend of release. Should I buy a laptop just to play it? :x

Oh man, Battle Tags are going to show up in game? Time to change my Battle Tag to something more Diablo-esque.

Q: will I be able to have multiple keys on the same account IE: Collectors Edition and Standard? and are we able to use"Dual-Boxing" ?

A: Jason Regier - No, you can have one license attached to the account. Dual boxing isn't supported... you'll need to have multiple battle.net accounts.

Anyone that is thinking of buying both should take note of this.

I have friends that actually putted their rl names as Battletags - no idea why but... better warn them about this "change".

Well, I guess life as a healer has never been easy. Should have rolled dps.
