So I log into the game, and apparently I have a friend request from someone who found me through a Facebook friend finder. What the hell? I don't really like the fact that Facebook can let people know I'm playing Diablo.
 
Alright, taking a break. This shit's fun. Too bad the rare I got from SK was extremely crappy... On the bright side, it dropped a pretty good blue (which has meanwhile been replaced too though). But soooo addictive, this game, damn. My ping went up from 230 to 360 too, but it surprisingly doesn't lag too bad/often, definitely still playable. Still right in the middle of Act I somewhere, like 6h in, level 11.

I have 200 ping but the game is still very responsive. Their client side prediction seems pretty good?

Are some of you with 200 ping not having it be responsive?

Green bar for me is is usually around 230-250 (thanks Blizzard) and I notice lag here and there. Today though I've died twice from being booted and have constantly been stuck in the orange with 400+.

Wait what? Can you send some links? I'm going to investigate.

I don't have any links, it just showed up in my game when I first logged in. I already had a friend request from someone who is also a friend on Facebook. I use the same email for both my Facebook account and my Battle.net account, so that's how they're connected I guess. I don't really like that they allow that.
 
About the item drops...TBH I' m only getting crap items from mobs. Checked out the AH and bought some sick items on there that I would never find at my current level.

I wish dropped magic items would be stronger, They all go straight to the anvil :(

Should probably be selling some at the AH though.

Lvl.16 Normal, hope drops will matter more later in the game!
 
I'm only level eight. It feels like I really underpowered against him.

It can definitely take a while. I think I've usually been about level 9 when I fought him, though. Are you taking a break from focusing on him to clear his minions for health orbs every now and then?
 
What does archon do?

Sorry lost track of the thread in the midst of all the playing. It turns you into a spirit type thing giving you some new attacks for a few seconds. Makes the wizard a bad ass.

Level 35 now, working on Act 1 Nightmare, Arcane Enchanted can kiss my ass. Ridiculous!!
 
Fun game when it works. Pretty much completely unsold me on always-on internet games forever though.

What is this avatar thievery?! :P

I had a good time today with it, but the latency issue is quite frustrating. Would jump from 200 to 400+ every minute or so. Guess I'll take that over the servers being down for hours though.

Maybe it has to do something with RealID..

OH!

I asked this question eariler in the week and was told that the Mac version would be fine. But I also fount out that the beta for the OSX had frame rate problems. So now that the game is out whats the verdict? Is it just as good as the PC version? Could the entry level Imac run this game?
 
The comments on the Inferno Act 2 stream are like a 4-way ultra racist brawl between chinese koreans americans and europeans.

Try to get a guest pass

That's probably what I need to do. I think I was spending too much time trying to keep him in stun, that I wasn't worried enough about his minions. Will try that tomorrow. I needs to get some sleep.
 
Just finished NM, starting Hell on America servers.

Act IV boss is a bitch. Luckily Monk is OP as fuck. Wizard with stun/freeze helps a lot.
WD is useless.

Ah good find, thanks for the info. This is my first time using Battle.net so I didn't even know I had a RealID. I'll just untick that then.
 
Level 42, haven't really slept much also have a 5 hour class everyday. Not going as fast as I want but I'm coming along. Currently in Act 3 nightmare.
 
Never got the achievement for getting the blacksmith (I hope that's not a spoiler...) and am worried about leveling him for fear that the whole achievement chain will be broken. Tried creating another character but they have the blacksmith already open (as he is account bound). Switched to the European servers but then noticed that they are on an entirely different set of achievement progress. Anyone else have this issue?
 
I just decked my Demon Hunter out with Rares from the Auction house for 200 to 750 gold a piece.

Not doing this until I'm AT LEAST done with normal. Just feels like cheating myself out of the challenge if I use it. :/ I wanna do as much as humanly possible myself, even if it's frustrating. Only if I see no way but buying I'll use it as a last resort.
 
Gold EU auction house wasn't working for me last night, so I guess this is a yes - it is working now.

Im on the US servers, cant comment on EU. Plus its better than all the in game crap at the shops and cheaper too. I keep looking for Legendarys for under 5000g buyout lol.
 
Okay guys, just a heads up:

Hell is fucking TOUGH. Skeleton King whirlwind one-shot my Monk with 18k hp. You better know how to play if you want to get through this.

Currently level 52, about halfway through Act 1 Hell. Gonna stop for tonight!
 
Do your investments in your backpack/artisans carry over when you switch difficulties?

What is everyone doing with their extra rares? Are they worth putting up on auction house or just salvaging?


Thanks.
 
why was i not told about whimsyshire?! i have most of the mats on my character and i didnt even know what they were for all i need is the gemstone from act 3 now
 
Monks, please post your nightmare skill and rune set.

I am trying to be defensive/evasive now instead of aggressive.

I have teleport fist and triple reach for spirit gen and then last tail with kickback, explosive palm with +3sec with dmg, blinding flash +4s and seven side kick with 1001percent rune.

I must farm more....
 
Uhh regarding the auction house: I have 45k in the bank and I put a bid down for 15k, why the hell do I only have 18k remaining?

And why don't I get the 15k+ back since I'm now losing the bid?
 
I'm right outside the skeleton king's crypt. To be honest, I'm a bid scared :P I've got 100 minor health potions though:D Here's my badass character
Oh, I was wondering something, are magical items better than more powerful normal ones?

Where are you in nightmare?

My monk started struggling for a bit around the middle of Act 2 til I found a comfortable build. I've stuck with the same build all the way through to Hell.
 
The Auction House is too addicting... and it's almost too easy to get absolutely insane equipment. You can't sell things for crap to the actual vendors, so people are selling some crazy equipment for less than or the same as the blue trash vendors sell.
 
Probably a dumb question, but how do I get into the RMAH? I just installed the game and wanted to check that out ad it told me I am blocked because of Parental controls. Since I don't have PC turned on I figured that maybe I needed them on first? I went to the battle.net site and clicked to turn them on and it said I needed to send myself a verification email first, but they never seem to send it. Has anyone else run into this issue?
 
Soooo yup, game can't run on my laptop. Thought I'd give it an install and see for myself, thinking that maybe it could at least run at a lower setting....Nope. Graphics card is completely unsupported :P

You know that feeling where you want what you can't have?

Beginning of Act 2 - well, after enchantress. I think I have good abilities for attack and defense - to get out of something fast, but still.

Some types of unique mobs are so hardcore.

I have 2x70dmg 1.40sp fist weapons with flawless red rubys for added damage and near 3800hp.
I think I must invest in vitality more.


Just finished my first ever playthrough, might as well post my character. Finished Normal at level 32 and around 17 hours.

I must try the healing wave and use mantra of healing upped to 7minutes too...

RMAH isn't active right now. It won't be for at least a week after launch.
 
Quick Question: i am downloading the guest version right now, its going painfully slow. Is it possible to just activate the full version after I played the guest version without downloading anything else?
 
It sucks that the game doesn't save your town portals when you leave. :<

Like if you use a portal to go into town, and you leave the game to go sell stuff at the Auction House or you're simply just done, once you jump back in it sends you back to the area you ported from and resets it. It doesn't just put you back into town and keep the portal. I'm assume it's just because areas randomize when you leave and come back. I don't see why it should if you used a town portal to save your location, but I guess that's just how the game logic works.

It'd be less annoying if you could access the Auction House in-game, but it doesn't appear that you can.

I'm only level eight. It feels like I really underpowered against him.

If you're having trouble with him bring that follower along if you aren't. He can be found in town.

It's tempting but I'm really trying to keep from using it to buy since finding some unexpected piece of great loot from a drop is too fun. I think buying rares from the AH takes away from that a bit.
 
Using a scoundrel for my follower for my monk since his range will help with the melee focused monk.

What should I choose for his Level 10 skill?

Dirty Fighting - Blind enemies in front of the scoundrel for 3 seconds, 30 second cooldown
or
Vanish - The scoundrel vanishes when injured, appearing again after 5 seconds. While vanished he will heal himself for 366 life. 30 second cooldown
 
Found a nice bow with lots of intel/vit for my wizard. 15+dps diff from my 2her sword earlier. It was only 5k!! Can find lots of rares to replace my really junky magical items easily through there...just need to have a bit of gold.
