I might play with randos, drop out once we get to countess and solo do a bunch of countess runs to level and get runes, then kill Andariel solo (I'm paranoid that if I beat Andy with others I might not be able to bug Andariel)
I'll probably party back up with randoms in Act 2
I'm not too worried about missing most early game normal drops
also people don't forget to bug your Andy for better drops!

My bad. It seems I was mistaken. I thought it was a similar thing to D3 where PC is always online and consoles can have offline.

I prefer SP for most of my games. Prob won't start an MP character till i get my feet wet and back into the swing of things.
But if theres a switch crew that wants to take it easy rather rush leveling and builds with MP, I'd be somewhat interested.

Solo. gonna be rushing through normal. Nightmare is where mp drop rates will come in handy because nightmare drops can be end game items.
You kinda have to fight for drops in mp but the experience increase will come in handy.

Such dumb anti player design decisions.just for the newcomers .. You can play SP in online mode!
and if you pick SP you are locked in so no trading

Some simple tips:
Shields in the beginning are actually worse than having no shields at all. Defense isn‘t a huge factor in the beginning and blocking actually locks you out from moving so getting swarmed is more dangerous with a shield.
For early game, improving your belt‘s potion capacity is more important than having lower capacity belts with some stuff like +3 to life or resistance unless it’s really high and useful in highly situational circumstances.
Strength should only be increased to reach the minimum requirement of your equipment. Dex should be the same case unless you plan on maxing out your block rate.
Unique and champion monsters give out five times and three times more exp than normal and should be killed for easier xp.
Some early game runewords to take note of are Stealth, Nadir, Leaf, Malice, Steel and Zephyr.
Some gems are useful in the early game and can last you for a while. Chipped rubies and chipped emerald for example can be put on weapons for easy fire damage and poison damage. Especially useful for barbs until you get your runewords. Chipped emerald can be substituted with your extra Tal runes.
Stamina potions gives you infinite stamina for 30 seconds so you can run for a lot longer. They can stack so buy and chug a bunch if you don‘t want to walk or stop to recover stamina.

You just had to mention it…What are the odds that we won't get a repeat of Diablo 3 launch with error 37 codes or lots of lag/disconnects?
