Would be quicker to retrieve my hero list via post.
I can't remember the last singleplayer RPG that had these kinds of problems at launch.
Just woke up.
OT2, and server fuked up still. I am not surprised. Glad I convinced my friend to go to work. She only works til two and server down til then. I still remember Vanilla WoW, and I had a feeling it would be more like that then their more recent releases. Problems were to be expected but damn, this is just silly now. Its crazy how blizzard can fail so hard in this. A game 12 years in the making. The amount of preorder and the popularity of the game, they knew the numbers were going to be high. For having the amount of money at the disposable its kind of disappointing they still have their hamster run server

Managed to log into the US hardcore servers so it looks like things are getting fixed. Servers might actually go up before the time they said.

Who wants to bet Yoshichan will be back to hype the next Blizzard game?
I'm not even convinced he's going to sleep!

Also - Newbie question.. You can't alter your stat points anymore? Doesn't that lead to more possibilities of people being exactly the same? Eventually people will find the best builds for each of these characters which means 'Best skills to put in your hot key bars' since you can no longer put points into skills to make them stronger, correct? So really the only two things differentiating you from other people is your gear and the skills you decide to use?
Feels like they removed another wall that prevented people from being the exact same as everyone else. Makes me sad. Eventually people will find the best skills and the best gear and just be mirror clones of each other it feels like..
Other than that.. I'm loving the game

For those not willing to click a youtube link: "There was only one right answer before."

huge bummer. the competitive flair is gone. no shared loot. no party alliances and betrayals. no seedy underground dark realm chat and trade. the anarchy is gone. this isn't the diablo i wanted.
but that's me.

The login servers are bogged down heavily and the servers that control the creation of new games are completely busted. People who were playing before that happened are fine. Don't leave your game or you won't be able to make a new one until they fix it.

So I got a Witch Doctor to 10.. and I have a few notes and questions..
Zombie Dogs are hella weakThey die in a few hits it feels like. Against the Skeleton King all 3 died in 1 hit. Hopefully they get better
Spiders are ugh.. Tossing bottles nonstop and them disappearing so fast leaves me to get swarmed. Wish they absorbed damage as well like pets or minions but enemies just ignore them and go straight for me. Hopefully these get better. Got the rune for Leaping Spiders but they are also just as bad
I'm approaching level 20, never used zombie dogs (didn't care for them in the beta), and I didn't start using spiders until I get the second rune (queen). WD has a lot of great skills, try fiddling around with a few. The class really kicks into gear in the 10-14 range, but it took me awhile to settle on skills and tactics I enjoy.

He's definitely gonna be hyped for the expansion.
Well then your in the fast pass lane. That means instead of waiting 4 hours to login you only need to wait 3 hours.

Both have their chances for hilarity and rage. I'm fine with either.
Mind you, I'll probably change my tone when I'm off work and can't play.
Agreed on the lack of anarchy, disagree on everything else.

Guys, the servers won't be stable till about an hour from now.
Blue posted this in D3 forums:
"11:30 a.m. PDT- We are in the process of performing an emergency maintenance for Diablo III servers in the Americas to resolve several issues that are currently impacting the game. This maintenance may cause some interruption in communication, ability to log in, use of in-game features, and disconnections. We anticipate all servers will be available for play at approximately 1:30 p.m. PDT. We will provide further updates as necessary. Thank you for your patience."

Maybe he'll make a vid about what to do when you can't log in to play?

I love both dogs AND spiders..

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
His team is really strong. If servers aren't gonna fuck them up, I think they'll manage inferno first

Joke post?
Yeah but, for the most part, there were staples that you built towards. Front ended build design. D3 just switches it to the back end. Design on the fly and as circumstances change rather than plan from the start.
To each their own, I suppose. I greatly prefer it since it allows for more flexibility and my math nerd min/max feeds off of this stuff.

4% lol... you're a long way from 99% just so you know. But it's fine the servers down anyway...

What is considered an achievement most of the time is laughable and I really wish you could have more of a unique character with stat allocation and at the very least, having to pay a ton of gold to change spells or talents.
