I don't even want these betas anymore. I just want the games to be here, lol.

Don't we all, but the further away the betas are, the further away I GET MY FECKING GAMES:

I cant wait for EU-GAF to assemble on this one, under the leadership of my MONK!
I'm baffled! I'll never let a fake paladin take leadership. Be gone, pest!

edit: My Internet finally decided to load Hazaros pic... what's the story behind Foxer hugging Losira?

I feed on this kind of dedication! Can you even start imagining how amazing shit will turn up once we start playing together?! (PvE in all its glory but please tell me you're going to PvP too!)

There's nothing wrong with that, it's probably one of the best games this generation. Especially some of its community! (SCII Community GAF fo' life ♥)

I am going to try some PvP as a Monk and heal people in the face.

Haha, one deserves an achievement if he doesn't know what class you'll be playing XD You've been quite "in-your-face" with the info!
 
V_Arnold said:
Just name the class you are willing to start with, and I will make sure to get the twinkest weapons and armors for ya, man.

(Not even joking)

Refresh my memory, you were from Norway right? Or did I dream that up?

Planning on scheming behind my back with some guy from Norway, huh?!
I love you Arnold!

Lol, I was actually unabashedly fantasizing of a nordic gaf gettogether :3.

Hungary, so nope. But my dream is to journey to some snowy lakes in Norway/Sweden/Finland sometimes :P

Screw university

Acquire runes/bitches

Not uni >_> been there done that. Other obligations that take me around the world where there isn't a good Internet connection.

I will, also not kidding :D

Almost too bad it's only 4 player max coop, even though I didn't mind at first. There is surprisingly big crowd from EU that is going to play it and I just know the group will be full when I'm ready to play..

I'm a grumpy cynical old fart that has a heart of coal, I refuse to believe. Only a beta key would melt my icy heart...

Bah, all this beta talk made me install D2. But there's a ladder reset in nine days. Buuulllshiiiiiiittt.

After all these years, I still don't know what a ladder is or what it implies

GF but not India man. Keep up! Also foreveralone.jpg. You will join Zoukka V_Arnold and Yoschi and leave me alone to fight the evil hordes of Diablo.

I guess it's only right to give you guys some head start.

Ooh, we got a non-ladder player here :D ♥

It simply implies the closure from real world to many...

Theres ladder and non-ladder : Ladder gets shit like extra runewords and items, while non-ladder is all old ladder accounts. They reset it every year or two.
 
GF + India >>>> D3.

Go and find inner peace in some buddhist temple. Seriously. You are given a great opportunity to experience the wonders of the world....

Who am I kidding :(

And resetting wipes characters?
 
We need to get a SC2 gaf group going for diablo 3
Don't worry SEA gaf will take it easy on you just like in SC2 :D
.

I don't know how i will find the time to get into this and still keep up with SC2.

Edit: Also hardcore fo life!
 
Don't worry Corky, I didn't know what ladder was either until recently repurchased Diablo 2. I had to look it up when I made my character. :D

I requested access to the list of beta folks, I already have a couple of you on my friends list.

Also, at this point, I still plan on rolling DH day one, so if anyone will have me, I'd love to pve and pvp!

Just got into the beta yesterday and I am loving it so far. So many quality of life improvements over Diablo 2. I know this game is just going to eat my time up when it comes out. I finished the beta in about 2 and a half hours and immediately afterwards installed Diablo 2 to keep getting my fix.

I just played through the beta many times in succession! I've played through with barb, wizard, witch doctor so far. I loved both the barb and wizard. Witch doctor...not so much. I'll probably do a quick monk playthrough tonight. I'll likely be picking between a monk and barb for launch (I want to avoid going wizard, as sorc was always my first ladder char in d2).

V_Arnold said:
Exodus, I hate your gut feelings :(
Also, things you mentioned are in no way representative of whether game comes out or not.

That's why I called it a gut feeling. Like I said, most of the issues are pretty superficial, and not really indicative of much. I've also never been in an F&F before, so I don't actually know what state SC2 was in during the F&F.

Anyways, sorry it's been so long coming (had a LAN over the weekend, and a buddy came over to check out the D3 beta yesterday), but I promise I'll get some performance analysis in tonight! I'll probably have to downclock my GPU to get a better idea of performance. My GTX 570 seems to constantly max the game at 100fps (and I certainly never dropped below 60fps).

You're going to love the monk! Dashing Strike is the moment where it really picks up.
 
TheExodu5, what are the rest of your specs?
 
Shit, no wonder he destroys the beta...

i5 2.7
8gb
GTX 275

I remember buying this computer two years ago exclusively for this game. I was in my "PC-gaming is dead anyway"-denial-period...

Doesn't your rig tear the beta a new one as well?

I'm assuming you have an i5 750 or 760, I had a 760 in my last pc and I loved it, I think I got lucky because my chip breezed to 3.8 OC with low voltages. Nonetheless it really doesn't seem that the game is that demanding.

It kinda does, not completely though. I can feel how the framerate slightly goes below 60 during intense fights. It's like in SCII (I play everything on the lowest), when it's 200/200 vs 200/200 I'll feel that the game is below 60. Same thing with Diablo 3.

Now, the real question will be whether it's CPU bound or GPU bound when you're dropping below 60fps.

I'd like to know this too :/
 
I've hat the framerate dip a couple times when something blows up, but other than that its a smooth 60 fps. And im playing on a Q6600 and a 9800gt.

Its not very demanding at all.
 
Yoshichan said:

Well, if you want to have an idea, just open task manager and go to the performance tab. Leave it there while you play some D3. After a bit of <60fps slowdown, go back to the performance tab and see if any of the cores are capping out at 100%. That's a sign of a CPU bottleneck.

If this is anything like SC2, it's probably going to be CPU bound. Blizzard games still only make use of one core (and a tiny bit of a second core...for the sound engine, I believe).
 
You know guys, I've been building my own pc's for years and haven't ever really dabbled in overclocking other than specific auto-overclocking via software. (I'm sure this isn't the best way to go about it) Does anyone have a Beginner's guide to gpu and cpu overclocking they could point me too?

i7 860 @2.8 (Stepping 5, Revision B1)
Gigabyte P55M-UD2
8gig DDR3 1600
Radeon HD5850 1024 Mb GDDR5

*So far the system has ran great since I built it with one small caveat, if the pc ever shuts down via power loss or system crash it will require me to change the memory speeds in the bios in order to get past the windows loading screen. It doesn't always happen, but once in a blue moon. I can actually set the speeds to exactly what they were and it will boot again. It's odd.

Anyhow, sorry for the derail, just seems to be some knowledgeable people in here and I'd love to maximize my diablo performance when I pick up either a U2711 or U3011 this next year. Thanks!
