Canada Post tried to deliver my 2 CE's but of course I'm at work, can't pick them up til 1pm tomorrow. So annoyed.

If I use a guest pass to get started tonight, can I use the code in my CE to upgrade to full tomorrow?

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Finally got disconnected

Same, I hope it saved my progress.

 

[scy]

just saw this on diablo forum fucking LOL

Jay Wilson


"Our Battle.net [architects], they do all the infrastructure that makes everything run. I think people sometimes look at our graphical technology and say “you guys aren’t doing the latest bells and whistles, your technology is old hat,” and I’m like, “you should see our server architecture, that’s where our tech is!” Those guys are way smarter than me! No one ever recognises the server architecture guys, but they’re huge!"

So I have to ask, do you know something about network infrastructure at all? Or is this just "shit won't connect ergo they're incompetent" logic?

Granted, they should have had this shit figured out but with this many people, something can always go wrong.

 

[Zeliard]

He's at home trying to log into D3 with your copy, so he'll be a little tied up.

Haha prolly

I see that there are massive connection issues so I guess I'm not really missing out!

 

[zlatko]

I'M IN!!!!!!!!!!! I'M FUCKING IN!"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LET'S GO BOYS D

Was in bed my ass...

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Just got kicked as well. Please be saved...

 

[Cipherr]

I am so happy that I didn't buy this. It's probably the best to wait for it to go to bomba price By that time Blizzard should have fixed most of the issues and maybe added the PvP/Arena aspect of the game which should have been a part of the game from the start imo.

ahhauhauhahahuahahaha

 

[ttocs]

I was hoping all the midnight release woes would be fixed by the time I got home after work today. Looks like people are still having issues though. I took off tomorrow so hopefully I'll be able to play.

 

[SyNapSe]

I love both dogs AND spiders..

me too. dogs do die early but they seemed to get tougher as I gained skills.

 

[mysocksarepink]

people got me pumped for getting in

 

[Teknoman]

My installer has been stuck at 77% for the last hour or so, saying 36.8MB remaining. Is this the install problem everyone was talking about earlier? Installing from disc.

 

[Johnlenham]

Crippling wave is nice, because best I can tell whenever the effect goes off it stuns the creeps.

Not even used that one actually. The bell one looks cool but it pants VS the cost of it.

Also Is it worth swapping my 20 attack rare pole and going back to dual wielding? Im just assuming monk skills are based of your highest dps weapon.
so say
25dps pole will be better than two 20 dps swords or whatever.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

ahhauhauhahahuahahaha

Seriously. Blizzard games don't go down in price for like 3 years.

 

[UnblessedSoul]

Im in but when I try to resume it says unable to perform this action while joining a party error 316712

 

[chiablo]

I feel bad for anyone who requested the day off from work.

 

[scy]

I love it.... finally someone gives us server guys some credit. That said if I let our stuff go down like this, yeah...

God, I really, really want to know what happened :x I'm going to guess that their login process couldn't handle that kind of concurrent user spike since all signs point to the actual game servers running flawlessly right now. Then again, since like nobody is on I wager they really should be running near flawless ... :x

 

[Yoshichan]

Oh God I created a game on normal difficulty.... but I want to play on nightmare... I'm fucked, am I not?

Knowing Activision Blizzard, that won't happen until around 2018.

 

[Duress]

Whoops! I found out I had my server settings to Europe. I guess, I have to start a new character. lol

 

[Empty Space]

Call of Duty servers? World of Warcraft?

Xbox live goes to shit every time a new CoD comes out and WoW basically shuts down for the whole day whenever a content patch goes out. People need to realize this is normal.

Do people remember when the iPhone 4s launched? AT&T's and Verizon's authentication server had issues too.

 

[goober]

Oh God I created a game on normal difficulty.... but I want to play on nightmare... I'm fucked, am I not?

Whoops

 

[Liferebooted]

Omg, usa and just got on and made a game

 

[dragonelite]

Uugh are 2 handed weapons really useless?

 

[Atrophis]

Guys I just nearly died in Act 1 Normal...I thought this game was suppoed to be easy?? *grin*

Actually, the bell one comes in super handy to catching running and ranged monsters. Also does some heafty weapon damage on contact and then in a straight line. Handy for clusters of mobs.

 

[hylje]

This is mine and Amazon's deal to mess servers until postal service delivers my copy.

 

[Economan]

Oh God I created a game on normal difficulty.... but I want to play on nightmare... I'm fucked, am I not?

You're already bored.

 

[Yoshichan]

Uugh are 2 handed weapons really useless?

they are great with specific skills/runes on baba

 

[Ryan_]

And here we go again!

Cya at the next d/c!

 

[scorpscarx]

and I'm kicked out, I've been logged in since like 4 am though, lol....

 

[Rokk]

Oh God I created a game on normal difficulty.... but I want to play on nightmare... I'm fucked, am I not?

You *should* be able to go back and remake a NM game. It'll only put you to the char select screen which is already logged in, right?

You also have to consider attack speed. The faster you attack the faster you generate spirit and the more procs you get off with your fist of thunder/thunderclap

Higher damage weapon will be better for your non-Cooldown attacks since they go off MH Damage as far as I know. Spirit Generating attacks alternate MH/OH and you get an Attack Speed boost (15%) by Dual Wielding. It's a trade off, really. 2H means you burst harder with slower Spirit while DW is lower burst with better Spirit.

 

[purg3]

JUST GOT IN OH MY GOD

 

[neoism]

holy tits kripparians game just went down as-well :lol RAGE inc

wow he was playing this whole time...

 

[picklecannon]

Uugh are 2 handed weapons really useless?

I'm using a 2 handed sword on my witch doctor because I've yet to find any decent 1 handers. I do have an awesome wanga doll just waiting to be used though.

 

[spirity]

Not normal for a single player game

 

[smr00]

I can't remember the last singleplayer RPG that had these kinds of problems at launch.

This isn't a SP game.

You knew that going in.

Not normal for a single player game

ugh this argument gives me a headache.

 

[Oblivionmancer]

Hnnngh my turn my turn everybody get the fuck outta the way.

 

[Bradach]

Damn you Beelzebub! Why do you taunt me so! Give me access to thoust servers so that I might smite thee!

 

[dragonflys545]

Goes in creates my character gets kick out!!! FUUUUUUU BLIZZARD!

 

[Gareth Bale]

I'm hoping this doesn't get lost in the chaos, but is the digital version only available direct from Blizzard? It's £44.99!

 

[dragonelite]

they are great with specific skills/runes on baba

So far im level 21 most 2 handers suck ass.
compared to dual wielding.

 

[Raide]

You also have to consider attack speed. The faster you attack the faster you generate spirit and the more procs you get off with your fist of thunder/thunderclap

You also get Spirit regen and Spirit on hit as well, which helps massively. Also pick the passive that gives you 100 extra.

 

[UnblessedSoul]

Alright im back in AWW YEAAA

 

[echoshifting]

I feel bad for anyone who requested the day off from work.

eh...I kinda do, but I have to believe most of those people knew at some level they were rolling the dice. Blizzard launches have been a total crapshoot for over a decade.

 

[ShaneB]

If things aren't fixed when I get home tonight I'll be pissed. I mean, I expected a trainwreck of a launch, but I expected it to be smooth 15 hours after launch!

 

[sykoex]

I am so happy that I didn't buy this. It's probably the best to wait for it to go to bomba price By that time Blizzard should have fixed most of the issues and maybe added the PvP/Arena aspect of the game which should have been a part of the game from the start imo.

I doubt it'll go "bomba" anytime soon but by the time the PVP arena is out it will probably have dropped to $45 USD like SC2.

 

[Baller. PhD]

Time to shower, freshen up and prepare for another marathon.

 

[zoukka]

Haha all the final school work finished thanks to this downtime. Blizzard am gods.

Six months of extra swedish courses YOU HEAR THAT YOSHICHAN! Jag är din Kung! KYSS MIN RUMPAaaa!!!111
