Ok so you all play WD similar to how I was until I played co-op with some friends and one of them was using jars so I decided to try it out and it seemed lame so I'm going to go back to the darts + dogs + AOE snare

Yeah I have my darts with the burst fire, AOE snare, and dogs. Great combination. AOE them, let my dogs keep them occupied and pick them off from a distance.

Any penalty for using a follower?

Someone answer this...

I made it past the beta area, and I'm calling it a night. I'm a lvl 10 female wizard (as planned). This game is pure bliss. I can't wait to play blind now that I'm done with familiar territory.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Thankfully i waited till like 3 hours ago to start playing. Didnt have any server or login issues. Latency seems a little higher than normal but thats probably cause everyone is playing. Glad i didnt run into any of those critical server crashes causing character loss or anything.

And since everything has been really smooth i gotta say game is amazing!! Very addicting and i love the atmosphere of everything. EVerything is soooo good!

 

[NullPointer]

Wow, remind me not to pair up with anyone :\

Yeah, what is the deal with this losing progress after doing co-op? Is that just a side-effect of server instability? Or is that how the game was designed?

Novelty of throwing countless jars of angry spiders at assholes has yet to wear off for me, though I'm still super early where there isn't exactly much tactical nuance required. It's been very effective combined with Grasp.

Been kinda rough going so far though. Haven't had any disconnects yet but I've had to deal with a lot of lag. Ping is fluctuating between 300 and 700. I feel like I'm playing Quake 1 on a 14.4 modem.

 

[Vamphuntr]

Guess I'm lucky I didn't experience any lag so far. It's weird since I'm using the dd version which you can play while the game download the rest of the game.

Movies are a mess for me though.

 

[Beaulieu]

I have an 8800GTX and a Core 2 Duo E6600... running perfect on high, don't see why you wouldnt.

thanks bruv

Currently installing the game. Is it safe to play yet?

 

[dimb]

So I haven't really seen talk about performance issues on the game. Is this more of a personal thing? The game has awful stuttering issues, and after the most recent patch it refuses to go above 30 FPS. Changing the settings has no effect on how the game runs. I should have no issues running the game on high with a 460, but for some reason the game can barely run.

Currently installing the game. Is it safe to play yet?

That this question has to be asked makes me glad to wait for this game. ~_~

 

[aznpxdd]

Question, sorry if this has been answered already.

Is there cross region/server play? I'm currently in Asia, can I play with my buddies in USA?

Also, I'm gonna be back to USA for a couple weeks in June. Will I be able to play my character on the Asia server when I'm in the States? I have the global version of the game BTW.

Appreciate the help!

Highly highly doubtful.

If you open your followers stats you see he only hits for like 2-3 dmg.

 

[jokkir]

Wizard is so weak in co-op. I'm struggling to kill one enemy with him :\

 

[Noirulus]

Game is still unplayable for me. Random lag-spikes errywhere and I really hope Blizzard find a solution for it soon because i'm really mad that I shelled out $60 for an offline game that's unplayable.

 

[bluestuff]

Oh man this game!!!

Just finished Act 1, with three other friends and had an absolute blast!

Only had 1 disconnect after the Act boss, pings been fine, and dropping a bell on enemies never gets old

 

[toastyToast]

Wizard is so weak in co-op. I'm struggling to kill one enemy with him :\

what level are you and how many people are you playing with?

if it's less than 7 and the amount of people is 4, you'll be doing jack shit

that'll improve shortly though

 

[Kalnos]

Wizard is so weak in co-op. I'm struggling to kill one enemy with him :\

Is such a thing even possible? Arcane Orb with the first rune pretty much shits on everything.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Its a shame people are having connection issues cause the core of the game outside of all the network drm is amazing.

 

[Ourobolus]

Sweet, made it to the middle of Act 2 with a buddy of mine...he's signed out for the night, so I think I'll work on my Monk for the rest of the night.

Battletag Ourobouls#1609 if anyone wants to play with me!

EDIT: Well, whenever it wants to let me log in, that is...

 

[Tacitus_]

You revert to the start of the quest step when you leave the game.

 

[goober]

Do I have to upgrade the Blacksmith to get better essences? Or is it based on the gear you salvage? Or both?

 

[Noirulus]

At least i'm not alone on the lag issue. It's not to do with hardware either.

0 penalty only bonus. They do shit dps but they use very good CC like stun, blind, taunt, etc...

It's based on the gear you salvage.

 

[Tacitus_]

Seems to be based on gear level. I started getting better essences in nightmare. It's still not completely gone to them, about 50-50.

Was happening to me too every now and then.

Definitely didn't feel like hardware lag because I could still hear voices if someone was talking. It felt like internet lag because of the rubber-banding.

Aside from my character being gone, the game is a blast--my first Diablo.

I've experienced lag playing solo.

Oh... is that what it is? That's shitty...

Also shitty that you lose your waypoints...

 

[bgbball31]

Just played for a few hours to beat the SK. I was playing with a firend who didn't know what he was doing, so it took a bit longer than it would have if I were by myself, but it was fun none the less.

Loving my wizard so far. No idea how I ignored wave of force in the demo, but goodness do I love that spell now.

 

[jokkir]

Level 13 and two more are Lv 14.

Those guys are just killing everything while I sit back dying lol

 

[chickdigger802]

When do the gear start looking hot?

My monk looks like some poor hobo.

btw:

Why is the monk not as buff as the one in the art?

 

[Ourobolus]

I'm in! Woo!

 

[ch0mp]

You need to choose the latest quest in the character select screen

 

[Radec]

What's the best skill build on Monk for clearing up group of enemies easily ?
I'm still under lvl 10 though,.

 

[Evlar]

There is some really crappy latency along the internet backbone tonight; it's not out of the realm of possibility that it's causing some lag spikes for some people. Normally the game's netcode should hide it, but along with everything else associated with a launch...

I say this because I haven't experienced any significant lag, and my ISP is good but not great. The problem is not universal.

 

[Vamphuntr]

:/
Hopefully they patch this soon.

 

[Magnus]

Thanks for letting me know about Elective Mode, to those few who did.

I'm...feeling stupid. Did the game let us know about that at any point?

 

[Alucrid]

Is there any way to change the action bar on the fly? or like, have presets

No. It was intentionally done like this.

 

[Einbroch]

Faaaaaaaantastic. Can't log in.

 

[Teknoman]

Yup music still much lower than everything else confirmed. Is this just an issue with surround sound (5.1) set ups, or is this with everyone? I've got music at 100 and everything else at 80, yet I can barely hear the music past the title screen.

 

[chickdigger802]

So many rare items! I just got a yellow shield! Woot

btw: what classes use shields or have shield skills?

None of the classes seem to fit the paladin/tank field.

GAF, is it not allowed to share accounts? Planning to share my account with my brother (who lives in another country) so he can play while I'm not.

Temporary outage of Battle.net, error 75. Awesome!

Right when I come to play...for the third time... lol
