EU servers are back up.
Nope.
EU servers are back up.
Some of them are a bit special, but yes especially pre-lvl 60 legendaries are very rarely anything great.It's shouldn't be expected no, but shit can happen, technology ain't perfect.
And yes, I would expect things like a tv, car, phone or any kind of technology to not be perfect and always work properly. Nothing is perfect after all.
The rage that some are expressing in here is quite funny, it's like they think that blizzard decided to purposfully annoy all of europe for shits and giggles.
do I make you sick? please say yess
Legendaries and Set items in Diablo 3 are horribly itemized, they don't have any special stats on them unlike in diablo 2. They have a few specific stats, and also some stats that are completely random. Bassically, they suck. Buy magic and rare items that are way better.

And busy... can't get in.EU servers are back up.
Blizzard is a subsidiary of Acitivision Blizzard, a company headed by Bobby Kotick. They can mandate anything they want.
Nope.
...and they're down.EU servers are back up.
How many legendary or set items have you guys found? I found one legendary, Fleshrake monk fist weapon in about 55 hrs of play thus far.
Can anyone tell me how to check your ping?
Yup.
We are slowly opening up the service to allow players to connect. This is part of our continued testing. There is a chance that this will result in the service becoming unavailable again at some point, and we will continue to update you as this testing progresses.
I am weirdly in love with the color of a Unique..even if a Rare is better, having a Unique (Legendary, whatever) drop that is usable for one of my characters are always something special. And even if highend rare can be potentially be better, I suppose that there are some interesting stats on some of the legendaries that are quite good for several builds.
eurgh so pissed off about EU Battle net, what a joke, where's the redundancy? Yes I could play on the americas server but I don't want to waste time on characters on a server I wont normally use.
I can accept downtime is a fact of online life, I can even accept that D3 is online only (didn't really have to be but I bought it knowing this could happen) what really gets to me is how poorly prepared Blizzard are for inevitable server problems, they haven't got server status shown anywhere in game, there's one section for notices hidden off on the right hand side of the screen that provides no details at all.
I think people saying there was nothing Blizzard could have done to prevent this are a bit off, they could have prevented all of it, they made a cost-value judgement on their server situation (fair enough they are a company out to make money), and they made things worse with a piss poor set of systems to handle errors on the client side (this is what they really deserve shit for).

There's no way to have more than 6 active skills at once. Right?

So I just saw a spoiler in a thread title in General on the EU blizz forums. I should have known better than to go in there so it's somewhat my fault. Still, fucking bnetters.
The LEAST they can do is come with with a decent compensation for those who spent their hard earned cash on their game and can't play in the spare free time they have. After tonight, it will again be another WEEK before I'll get some time to play the game. If the servers aren't down next weekend, that is.

Read it, hasn't changed my mind. They are owned by Acitivision, they have huge influence over the company, if they choose to let them do their own thing because they're highly profitable isn't relevant to the option of control.not true, read up on it -> http://wow.joystiq.com/2009/04/12/activision-blizzard-is-not-blizzard/
So because there hasn't been a SC2 expansion, Blizzard Ent aren't a subsidiary of Acitivision Blizzard?
They have independent management, but they are owned by Activision.

so is end game itemization really as fucked as everyone on Reddit seems to be saying?
Yes.

Rares significantly better than any legendary get RNG'd into the game. Massive swathes of useless stats/stat combinations that no one would ever want get dropped. Level 55 blues getting dropped for me in inferno. Loot so far has been a massive lottery of useless shit. I think in the 51 hours that I've played I've picked up less than 5 items that I actually could put to use.
So basically you're relegated to farming gold so you can get another piece of gear off the AH since getting anything useful to drop is literally playing the lottery.
Get DarkD3 at http://darkd3.com/, I use the Lesser option and it's a massive improvement. Elective mode and advanced tool tips are a must, Blizzard really dropped the ball having them off by default (or even existing). It's a good idea to turn enemy health bars, player health bars and other in-game information on that is off by default. Also make sure that your region is correct in the options, or you might have to restart your character on your correct region.I'll have the game tommorow finally. I don't complain with all these server problems...
Anyway. Are there any essential option settings I should know? I know about elective mode but I'm more concerned about technical ones.
I've found plenty of great stuff in inferno and I'm not sure what that image is supposed to prove. RNGed items should always have higher potential and I'm sure there are some legendaries that have the potential to be extremely good.Yes.

Hey so I installed the game from my disc to my gf's laptop and she made a battlenet account and we added the guest pass in there. The game says she doesn't have it activated so do we need to reinstall it from the battlenet starter edition link???
They really could have worded that better. "Testing" just makes you think of unfinished product/service.
Yes.
