Xbox live craps out the day CoD launches too people seem to forget that.
I will say this...
That WASD script is FUCKING awesome. It runs like a god damn dream.
Mouse doesn't flicker around AT ALL.
It's so amazing <3
Wait who is last boss of Act I lol

Naaaaaaaah Im gonna go ahead and say you are full of shit if you think this rivals WoW's launch. I was there at midnight. A member of a 71 man guild that came from Midgard Bors to WoW. And there WAS no server that you could go to that would let you escape the madness. We were online and trying to get up and going before they even added the additional servers. We TRIED moving to the other open ones, and it didnt matter, ALL of them were fried.
Cmon son. D3's launch is bad enough, you don't need hyperbole to try and make a point that this isnt going well. Its bad, but its not WoW launch bad.
I have played a quality 13 or so hours today. Quality, not lagged to shit, but good game time. This has nothing on WoW's launch. You were in game, but it was borked to shit. No comparison.
Haha, I was just about to post my purchase history too, lol.

I'm only level 10, but so far the game's been really really easy for my wizard. Too easy to kite people.
SK didn't even get me below 80% at any point during the boss fight.
Can somebody confirm that the game gets harder than this?

I think I've got a slightly higher DPS than my friend's Barb who I'm playing with now. 66 DPS at level 15. Wizard isn't weak.. just kinda squishy.

Another question: Is there a fast way to switch primary/secondary skills?
Pulling up menus in the middle of a fight is not cool.

Really? They could be worse sure, I mean the servers could have been up and day then wiped everyone's progress just now. But really it's pretty fucking bad.
Well unlike you, I actually had the courtesy of reading the rest of your message before replying to it. In any case, we seem to differ on the definition of 'epic fail' and let'S leave it at that.
Don't know if that would solve the problem, really... If they release it to a particular region, launch day will be the biggest day ever for that region's dedicated servers.
Keep in mind, not even Google is able to launch a major service and take all comers without restrictions... and Google isn't a company with noted cash flow problems, or an unwillingness to throw cash at a problem.
That was from earlier today

My god this game is great. I chose the Wizard and it is really awesome so far. Only got to 12 before the servers went down again. Gonna take a break and then go right back in. I can easily see myself playing through all the classes at least once.
So you're saying you have indeed played them... you just haven't played them very far. Got it.
I'm not disagreeing it's bad. It's just not an 'epic failure'.

You're not really meant to switch in the middle of a fight.

oh and for anyone playing with different control schemes, I've been using my tablet to play Act 1. and it's pretty satisfying. much better for hand position atleast.
Control alt delete -> Task manager -> end process Agent.exe
The launcher/installer should reset itself and update properly. Worked for me earlier.

This would be possibly more harmful to them then the down time right now. Could you imagine people complaining that they didn't get in the first wave of release? This thread would be twice as long.

Honestly, I never thought having a constant internet connection would be a big deal.
Then I tried to play. 1200 ping.

Like actually DPS, or theoretically from the additional stats added to it? What I mean is, a sword that I never actually melee with, with a higher DPS number than a wand is better? Kind of weird.

Definitely. Got much harder once I hit Act II.
SK is a joke btw
Gotcha. It's pretty satisfying to pull the nova/force wave combo, but there's really no sense of danger at all when I just run into a giant mob.
Good to know the game gets a lot harder.
I started Act 2 a short time ago on my DH and Im getting destroyed though. I mean, I cannot survive more than a few seconds with enemies in melee range. Its pretty horrifying how fragile I am. I probably need to stop advancing in acts and just repeat one over and over and build up my gear before moving on.
Wow. Sure this shit sucks, but some people are taking this as personal as if it actually is Blizzard their girlfriend is cheating with... From the 5 hours I've played the game is fantastic, and so I'll give them a couple days to get their act together.
If they don't, well...

LOUD GRUMPY NOISES!
Well good for you, not all of us have been so lucky though. Error codes are burned into my retinas at this point.
I wouldnt say a lot harder.... just need to be more on your toes in Act II.
Then thats why you dont recognize him.
He was the first boss in Diablo 1...scared most people when he broke down the door.
I guess no one cares about the music volume
There is absolutely no elegant solution to the problem. If they did server queues, people would complain that they're in a queue for a single player game. If they allow access in waves, people will complain. It's a lose/lose situation.

oh okay.
I think I'm too used to playing Invoker (Dota2). Switching instantly every 2 seconds! lol
It's a much easier time if you use a follower - I'd suggest the templar.
edit: He's basically just a meat shield for you to range kill everything. It's cake.

I was thinking about doing that a bit. Just to get the nostalgia of MF runs back in.

All of normal is easy. Once you beat the game at least once, then it starts becoming an actual challenge, rather than a mindless clickfest. Inferno is going to take max level guys playing well together and it's going to be very challenging. Can't wait to see that, and the loot.

I remember when Ulduar came out too. It was terrible server didn't go up till like 9 PM PDT and even when they did all the instance server were fucked. Nobody did anything that day in WoW.

Blizzard references Borderlands 1 in their game with The Clipper. Very cool
I actually got one of these and held on to it just because it was the only thing I had seen have a description so far. Had no idea what it was from.

Yes, probably, unless the wand has a crazy Intelligence boost to it. Anyway, if you mouse over the weapon in your inventory, it will show the change in stats compared to your equipped weapon. Improvements are in green, decreases are in red.
