I really hope this doesnt come off as me trying to be a troll, but how is the mac version? I've always been told that macs dont do games and if they did their just ports of the pc version
mac will be fine, this is blizzard.

A higher difficulty means higher-leveled monsters and such, so you will have to play with an previously geared character
Play through with each class. It's basically NG+ with harder enemies, not an actual "This is hard mode" difficulty selection.

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
Blizzard's mac version are always flawless.
nope, since playing higher difficultyrequire you to be level 30 + to be able to fight monster you need to relevel through all difficulty.
that why my second character will be hardcore, to add a bit of challenge to it
Bashiok (a Blizzard employee) made a post that said Blizzard customer support could give you back a digital key for the game if you bought the digital version and then upgraded to the collectors edition.
The problem is, I'd then have to sell that key to someone, and I'm not sure how I'd take payment for that. The obvious answer is paypal, but I hate paypal and am reluctant to use it when I know that there'd be no way for me to prove that I had actually sold something to someone (which means that Paypal would side with the other party in a dispute).
It's a hassle, basically. A hassle they could avoid by just issuing a refund. I've got a ticket in asking about it, so hopefully they'll see the light
fat chance
But this is neogaf, where we have a buy/sell/trade thread with great feedback to go by. I'd never use ebay or anything, but sell on GAF? No issues with the numerous buys and sells I've done here.
Or you can find 1 buddy who wants the game too and do the trade with them.

Ah got it.
Do we know the level ranges for the difficulty levels yet?
Sort of:
Act IV Normal has an enemy at Level 29 so I'd put 1-30 for Normal; that same enemy is Level 49 on Nightmare then 60 on Hell so I guess it'd be 1-30 Normal, 31-50 Nightmare, 51-60 Hell, 60+ Inferno

It's designed so that once you beat one difficulty you're ready for the next. Though you'll apparently have to grind better gear in Hell before you can do the beginning of Inferno.

I think it's roughly 1 - 30 for Normal, 30 - 50 for Nightmare, 50 - 60 for Hell.
I don't know, but I'm pretty sure if that's your setup, you're doing it wrong.
Hmm...maybe I'll try the B/S thread then. Is there really anyone there that is going to want a digital key after the game is already released?
Definitely. Not having the OS on the SSD means that the HDD has to spin up for anything involving the OS.
Of course. Not everyone on GAF is a day 1 early adopter for games. There's always late and impulse buyers.
I better make sure that Bashiok wasn't talking out his ass before I actually commit to selling it.
The game could launch and Blizzard could just refuse to give people digital keys after their CE's arrive.
Everyone progresses.
Yeah, release day from Amazon. It's just those thirteen to fifteen hours between when the game goes live and when UPS might deliver my package that have me going crazy.
The way it would work is:
1. Buy digital copy, play the game as soon as it goes live
2. Collectors Edition arrives in the mail, key upgrades your account to collector's edition
3. Support is contacted and they give you back an unused digital version key that you could then gift/sell/etc
Is your CE set for release day delivery or?
Not my setup, but considering picking up a SSD. Id really like one large enough to put everything on it, but I'll probably have to wait for that. I was just looking for some clarification on the matter. I could probably swing a small internal ssd for Diablo 3 to be installed on, but not one large enough to have my OS, programs and games on.
I've got my OS (and will have Diablo 3) on a $60 60gb SSD from Crucial. If you can swing that, it's plenty of room.
Just install your OS and main programs on the SSD and put all your games on your HDD. You can then use something like Steam Mover
to temporarily put a game on your SSD. This way you can get the benefit of the SSD for current games and take them off when you are done without installing/reinstalling.
A 60-ish GB SSD is enough for an OS and some other stuff. My SSD died and I bought a new one instead of waiting for the repair one so now I have a dedicated game install SSD!
There's probably a few people waiting to pick up Diablo III digital keys $5-10 off like this anyway :x

Why did you not buy a mouse with an additional 2 buttons? I'm sure you will eventually get accustomed to it anyway
Reason why it is probably shit is because it is ambidextrous, meaning lefties can also use it
I got a just got my new mouse from Amazon. I looked at the package twice to see if I ordered a laptop mouse on accident. Feels like a golf ball in my hand. :/
Guess I will use this as a portable on and get a big kid size mouse as well.
Gotta read those measurements on their page before buying dawg. Also, GAF has all the info on everything before you buy it.

I think the point everyone is trying to make here is that for optimal performance all around... you will want to have your OS on the SSD.
Cool I'll look into that!
Good to know, maybe I can get a smaller one right now.
I kind of assumed this, but wasn't sure what kinda performance hit it would take not having both on the SSD.
Thanks for the input guys, I might be able to swing a 64Gb SSD.

My 2008 razer copperhead is ready. She doesn't look but feels like the first day. My fingers are ready. I just wish I had a better rig. My Macbook Pro couldnt handle the beta so much

We'll see. The Mac Beta client was terrible. They said internal builds were better optimized, but 720p with everything off and I was only getting 20fps. Even with a system above "Recommended" specs.
Hey Kate, what are the specs of your macbook? I'll have to play it too on that for the first days.
If he was on NeoGAF and a gamer, then I'd think otherwise since a lot of GAF is in good shape and plays a fuck ton...maybe not 5 days straight fuck ton. Also, being a skinny dude who games a lot does not mean you are in shape... I'd know.
Not clicking because I'm not giving Kotaku hits, but I'm going to guess that they'll talk about rainbow palettes or no skill points or how pink ponies are the Act IV bosses that Diablo arrives on.

OSX 10.7.3
2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo,
4 gigs of 1067Mhz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB
Running in 1280:800 all low with a sub 30 FPS.
It's playable of course, and never dropped to unplayable, but when I was looking at my friends power rig, the game looked sooo good and soooo smooth

...Fuck Kotaku.
Yeah, I have one of those small ass mice at work. I basically crush the thing if I try palming it. Using it is such a hassle that I just brought an extra mouse from home for use.

That's the most stupid thing I've ever see since ME3's ending.
