So, I wrote a short Diablo III Guide. I thought at least Elective mode would get a mention in the OT, but I didn´t see it. Feel free to add tips.
Diablo III for Dummies
Options
-Go to Gameplay options and make sure Elective mode is ticked. Elective mode enables you to choose whatever skill you want in each slot that is available.
Instead of default mode where you only can choose one skill per category.
Damage
-Even if you are a wizard, wear a crossbow if that weapon is the strongest you have, since weapon damage increases the DPS you make with most of your skills/spells.
-Depending on which class you are, one attribute increases your DPS:
Strength: Barbarian
Dexterity: DH and Monk
Intelligence: WD and Wizard
If you want to increase your DPS, you get gear/skill that increases above attribute depending on class you are playing with.
In-Game
-Always pick up items that are not white/grey since at worst case you can salvage material and craft new items at blacksmith.
-Items you put in chest can be shared by your other characters.
-Items that are dropped are individual, meaning what you see can only be picked up by you.
EDIT: Woohoo, I am a member
About the elective mode, the default setting restricts what skills you're allowed to level up? I haven't played D3 yet, I couldn't get the installer to work for open beta, but from a D2 vet stand point this seems really odd.
Is the official Blizzard site the best place to read up on how the skill system works exactly?
Correct. You are still online whichever way you play.
I think the only split is if you have HC characters and if you have Characters on regions outside of your own.
Coolbeans.
if i remember correctly this will only work with a max level character. In the beta this couldn´t be tested at any point.
y, i found the bluepost:

heh I would like to see the look on his face as I explain to him the fundamentals that makes a Crit built DH
But no rush with the game I guess. As long as I can get past the SK on the 15th, I'll be happy.
Good, because I'm watching a beta playthrough and it look sort of hardcore. To be honest it looks a bit boring watching someone play, though the area looks pretty early.
Most Diablo clones start you off being pretty weak, taking several hits and misses to kill simple monsters and it takes a while to ramp up to the point where you feel pretty powerful. Diablo 3 actually starts you off being pretty powerful and it just goes up.
Of course the added difficulties do make things harder. More monsters with more abilities and more to think about as you kill and loot everything. The added co-op does make things more difficult but more rewarding.

I hope the servers can hold it up on May 15th.
I am seriously at the point of rage regarding the downloader / installer. I know it's an issue with Win7 64bit (at least that seems to be the common denominator with me and others on the fourms) but I downloaded the beta just fine back in Novemeber.
Now I can't DL the beta client, the full client or the WoW client (to test if it was Blizzard) without the downloader running at sub 50kbs then crashing. I can dl from Steam and others at 1.5 mbs easily.
Tried disabling p2p, tried deleting the "agent" thing, running as admin. It bothers me more that it worked fine before as nothing has changed at my end...
Might try this port forwarding thing before I start cutting myself.

I'm optimistic, SC2s launch went okay I think.
HL 2 all over again
Win 7/64 here and preloading worked without a hitch, then again I wasn't in the beta so maybe the problem comes from there?

Finally updated to release date shipping on my Amazon CE.
Unfortunately I have a court date that day (not a criminal!).
Then I graduate later that week.
And I have family in town for two weeks starting on the 13.
And then I start a summer course the Monday after.
I'll be playing for like an hour a day for the first two months. Well, there are always weekends!

Wheres the cheapest place to get this in the UK? Battle net directly is £44.99. You have to supply your own lube too.
I know what you mean and i'm a little bit worried too. I played World of Warcraft for 2 years or so and fell in a pretty deep hole. I said to myself never again.
But D3 is different. It's not like you need 40 people to clear a freakin dungeon. But on the other hand, yeah sure "addicted" is a good word combined with Diablo.
Amazon, I think. £32.91.
It's crazy how the digital version is so much more expensive. It was the same for SC2.

Wow, how do you even do that? I waited 4 years for this too, but there is no way in hell i'm skipping this one, probably couldn't even restrain myself from buying it for one day, waited too long for that.

Just pre-ordered on Amazon. Can you activate the CD key on Battle net? My CD drive is very picky with what it will read nowadays!
Well, you just have to pre-order accordingly ;D
nice :lol

Probably. But pre-load links are in the OP anyways.
Works for retail versions as well. I assume you will just plug in your key to install.
Great OT!
Now, who's going to play on a Mac...anyone?
On the recommended specs it says this:
√NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 330M or ATI Radeon HD 4670 or better.
I have an Intel HD graphics 3000 Card. The 30 minutes beta I played runned fine, but not with High settings. However my Laptop (it's a 2011 MacBook Pro btw) seemed like a dishwasher regarding noise... A little loud... So I'm a little worried since these Laptops don't have anywhere so the air can flow better!
I just don't want to kill it with fire for playing Diablo III in it.
Any kind fellow GAFfer mind to give me an opinion please?
