I tremble at the thought of not eating anything for 18 hours..

But this game is gonna make me do it ;_;

 

[scy]

Survival mode, we will all be in it come tuesday.

Honestly? I might actually just alternate day fast for the D3 release. Move IF up a notch!

 

[picklecannon]

Sadly I hadn't logged on for a little while before 1.13 came out and all my toons were wiped, I started a new Paladin at the time, but I was deep into WoW mode

Yeah my hammerdin was wiped so I made a sorc for the new (and final) ladder.

 

[helloresolven]

That profile pic is fucking glorious. Oh man, hype is reaching all new levels.

 

[IllumiNate]

ZOMG I just watched the overview videos for the classes for the first time! THIS GAME.. OH MY LAWD

If I didnt make so much $$ at my job I'd be calling in sick!! Long weekend can't get here soon enough

 

[Outdoor Miner]

What's with this character? A barbarian with 2x the agi as str?

I think that's just a guy's who put together an MF set with total disregard of any other stat lol.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Damn i just set up my authenticator, downloaded the android app. Pretty cool how that system works.

 

[injurai]

one of us!!!

It's not just super easy to find the stuff you're looking for, but it's also very slick. The contrast and sharpness is perfect!

edit: bump for the new page :3

I was looking at the armory-screenshots and I remember seeing these bars in the beta:

Do we know how to actually "fill" the bars? Is it like, you max out one barat 100 hours played or something? I don't remember how it was in the beta for some reason...

GUYS THIS IS THE LAST FRIDAY NIGHT THAT I WONT BE PLAYING DIABLO 3, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M GONNA DO OTHER THAN MAKE THIS FACE IF PEOPLE WANT ME TO GO OUT NEXT WEEKEND

I can sort of forget to eat sometimes if I'm really engrossed in something, including games. It's not necessarily that I don't know I'm hungry, but just sort of ignore it and subconsciously say I'll eat later.

I felt awkward telling people that next weekend is just not going to happen :x

 

[Yoshichan]

I really hate when I forget to bring my physical authenticator with me... I really want the authenticator-thing on my phone but it doesn't work on Samsung Galaxy S (the one that's almost two years old) right ?

 

[Valnen]

You haven't eaten in 18+ hours ?

I just went 48 out of laziness >.>.

 

[goober]

what's the cheapest place to pre order this now? I missed out and a friend convinced me to get it.

 

[zlatko]

I fart in the general direction of anyone who wants to disturb me after Tuesday night.

I give not a fuck about anything anyone has to say for a week solid.

"Zlatko, I'm pregnant and it's yours."

"Cool story. Gaming. We'll talk about the spawn of Satan in a week."

 

[Kalnos]

I just went 48 out of laziness >.>.

Lazy is an hour or two, that's just apathy.

Yoshi, in the beta the bars were wonky. I played a demon hunter for 2 hours and it said my time played was 50+ hours. I also believe it's more like a bar graph of sorts. The more time you spend on a toon, the longer the bar will be.

So you're basically telling me I shouldn't inform you about our baby next week . Okay fine, I won't...

 

[abuC]

Im debating on picking it up, I liked the demo, but how big is the game world/map?

 

[HiddenWings]

It's okay! I still love all my fellow hdins!

They're probably proportional. Your most played class would be full, and all of the others would be adjusted based on that.

Yeah now I remember that those bars were messed up in the beta... but yeah there must be a "cap" to when you actually fill the bar completely. I'm wondering how many hours that requires though :3

 

[theta11]

It's not just super easy to find the stuff you're looking for, but it's also very slick. The contrast and sharpness is perfect!

edit: bump for the new page :3

It may be proportionate where a full bar would be a equal to your highest played class and to fill all 5 classes you'd need to play all 5 evenly... maybe?

 

[Yoshichan]

They're probably proportional. Your most played class would be full, and all of the others would be adjusted based on that.

This makes sense, so if this was the case then would it work like this:

Barbarian: 100 hours (completely filled bar)
Witch doctor: 25 hours (25% filled)
Monk: 10 hours (10% filled)

etc?

 

[HiddenWings]

Barbarian: 100 hours (completely filled bar)
Witch doctor: 25 hours (25% filled)
Monk: 10 hours (10% filled)

etc?

That's the most likely scenario. I have no idea if it ever actually worked that well.

 

[Max]

Futureshop straight shipped my CE. I yelled something when I saw the email

That's how it would work if it were proportionate, yeah.

EDIT: Beated twice in 1 page.

 

[Yoshichan]

Yeah but how would it work otherwise? I mean, if you could fill all the bars then it would just look ridiculous I would rather prefer it being the way you explained it!

 

[scy]

It's saving money!

 

[piratepwnsninja]

Damnit, can you find the LE guide anywhere still? My amazon order didn't ship and it is now in the "Sign up and we'll auto-notify you" on the product page. Last time this happened they'd oversold the LE guide of Dark Souls and I didn't get the one I'd pre-ordered.

 

[zlatko]

How can you be pregnant when you're having an unfortunate shmedling accident soon?

 

[therealminime]

When does the review embargo lift for this? Monday, or Tuesday?

 

[Phloxy]

So umm, is there any place that will be selling CE's that aren't pre order only?

 

[piratepwnsninja]

When does the review embargo lift for this? Monday, or Tuesday?

They can't even play the game until when everyone else can...so reviews won't be up for a couple of days after that at least.

 

[ZealousD]

When does the review embargo lift for this? Monday, or Tuesday?

Honestly, I'd be very surprised if we got any reviews earlier than late Tuesday evening. I doubt the press is getting any early access for this.

I mean really, does anybody not know what to expect here? When have reviews on Blizzard games ever been a surprise?

 

[~Kinggi~]

game could get a 0 and i wouldnt give shits. I'd only care if it was functionally broken or something. Id be more interested in what type of lynching the reviewer would get.

 

[satori]

I really hate when I forget to bring my physical authenticator with me... I really want the authenticator-thing on my phone but it doesn't work on Samsung Galaxy S (the one that's almost two years old) right ?

Hey I have that phone and the authenticator works just fine.

 

[Yoshichan]

How can you be pregnant when you're having an unfortunate shmedling accident soon?

The first review will probably show up a day after launch!

 

[therealminime]

Right, I remember them doing something similar with Starcraft 2, not allowing anyone to play until launch day. And yeah, I expect nothing but quality from Blizzard.

 

[Yoshichan]

Hey I have that phone and the authenticator works just fine.

Really?! Oh my God, I remember checking it out a year ago and it didn't work out... I'm gonna be so happy if it works! Gonna check it out right now~

edit: wait, please tell me you can have both the physical and mobile authenticator activated simultaneously?

 

[Kalnos]

Starcraft 2 was released on July 27th and the IGN review was on August 3rd, so I'd wager this is correct.

 

[Baller. PhD]

So umm, is there any place that will be selling CE's that aren't pre order only?

This is also relevant to my interests. I need to play this at midnight. I can't be forced to wait around until noon on Tuesday for my Amazon shipment...

 

[scy]

The Diablo III box would have to implode before I cared, really.

 

[Ashodin]

Working on this Melee DH build - the idea is to have a lot of PBAoE attacks go off around you while you melee the fuck out of shit with a good ass one hander.

I plan on building up Dex for Dodge and Str for Armor first, then Int for Resists.

In my mind, I'm imagining a whirlwind (literally) of attacks centered on my character.

A second option to the Impale attack I'm looking at is the Shuriken and the rune that makes a cloud of them surround you, but 30% Weapon Damage might be too low.

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/demon-hunter#UZgdhl!bTX!ZYYcZY

There's the build.

 

[HiddenWings]

Yeah but how would it work otherwise? I mean, if you could fill all the bars then it would just look ridiculous I would rather prefer it being the way you explained it!

There's no other way to do it, really. Team fortress does it the way I said; Here's the stats for one of my friends.

 

[BigJonsson]

I think that info is on battle.net's security page

 

[injurai]

watch it get a 9.75 and how everyone on the blizzard forums will be in outrage over it.

I would expect nothing less from them :lol

 

[scy]

To satisfy them it would need to be >10.

 

[piratepwnsninja]

Well, IGN did give D2 an 8.3...
