After getting the downloader, it can take a while for it to start. It is not instant. Maybe just to stress people out.
well it's been there for 20 min and not a single byte was downloaded....

I think I managed to grab a CE of this game from Game yesterday morning, they had it in stock for about 15 minutes...really hope they do because my amazon normal edition order said it was "delayed".
So I guess I may be very lucky, having gone from not knowing much about the game, to be really excited about it to potentially have a CE on the way in the space of a week!

Sorry if it's been posted, I've been away the whole day
That's the same guy who said to turn all the settings except AA to off or low??? His computer is beast! He should be able to max settings without fps loss without any issue whatsoever.
Need 300 FPS oh god
The thought crossed my mind but I dismissed it thinking "you'd have to be crazy to buy like 3kg of meatballs, who would even need that much meat?". For a monmet I even thought they might be Scotch eggs
I thought we were well prepared but now I feel so... underprepared.
EDIT: Such healthy food!

Gotta cram up dem 999 fps!
I have no responsibilities until sunday ;-)
Starting tomorrownight, nonstop till saturday night.
YOU DON'T NEED GRAFIX IF YOU TRULY CARE
This will be my first Diablo game...and really it's because I feel obligated to buy the game as a relatively new PC gamer (spring 2011).
Naturally I'm not as hyped as some of yall so I'm casually waiting until Tuesday...but what makes this series so great? If somebody could explain or do I just have to "experience" it?

So basically, I've got everything covered just like Kripp except for one thing... I don't have three Internets (but I do have 1000Mbit so that should compensate)

Swedish internet is so awesome. Lucky bastards!
Healthy with that SWEET BABY RAY'S
Bumping my question before it gets doomed to the top of the page

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
Pretty much. I played Diablo 3 (and pretty much most games) at max settings at 1080p and the beta ran like butter.
Oh my god, those meatballs are delicious, do you put the cranberries on them ?
I'm gonna try to finish first act after midnight shenanigans with servers. Who knows, maybe even more [i reckon max 4-5hr playsession].
Because i will focus on story, it will most probably be a slow and enjoyable singleplayer crawl.
- The satisfaction of killing all kinds of demons with the most bloody and inventive skills
- The satisfaction of doing this with friends.
- The satisfaction of a great story in a gothic world where good and bad are strictly defined yet blurry at times
- The satisfaction of getting precious loot, gold, gems, ..
- The satisfaction of getting that one legendary item you were aiming for after weeks of hard work!
- The satisfaction of slow but steady progression in inferno where every slain monsters feels like an accomplishment of it's own
- The satisfaction that every play-through feels like an entirely different experience thanks to the diversity of the classes and the random content
Basically a lot of satisfaction!
You can do that, the CE code will upgrade the standard edition one.

Pretty much. Diablo has a perfect formula; it's like Mario in that regard.

Haha, no those are just regular grapes
Well, we know they'll refund digital regulars that are upgraded to CEs. I'd _assume_ that the same applies to physical regulars but I don't know for sure.
Is it really realistic to think you could be playing this within 4 - 8 - 12 hours of the servers going up? Surely it's going to be temperamental at best? I've made other plans for Tuesday night and taken Friday night off work because I don't think I'll get much play done on Tuesday.

I think all he thinks about is efficiency right now, and those bananas are gonna make him PUMPED!
Not my choice of food for being practically completely inactive either!

So i've been replaying Diablo 2 this weekend. I actually never did beat this game back in the day, and haven't touched it in ages. Overall the game aged really well, but man o man do I spend a lot of time running back and forth selling loot. I'd love a torchlight dog or something.
I imagine a significant amount of people will choose to sleep because, unlike me, they have responsibilities on weekdays, so I hope it'll be manageable on the European servers.
Keep on posting, Euros!
To be honest there's only really a problem at midnight or so where everyone from both coasts are on. People who picked it up at midnight and just tossed it in and gave it a whirl as well as the digital people. It's probably going to be at it's worse around 6p.m. PDT when almost every who preordered will have and be trying to play together all at the same time and it probably be like that for the first few weeks or so with this coming weekend seeing the highest amount of simultaneous traffic.
My plan is to go pick up the game at midnight catch a nap until servers go live then play for an hour or 2 take another nap then play all day Tuesday.

quick question.
Does anyone else feel there is a real danger of lack of people playing multiplayer a month or so down the line?
Just to explain, they have removed the extra exp, extra monsters and made it harder to kill at the hardest level (425% for 4 people in inferno...) not to mention you can create an efficient MF build and not have to rely on others doing the same! With this there is a danger with people farming even more (real money now guys) that people will create a character and just farm constantly in single player mode as it will be faster! I know Blizzard are content that the most fun is in multiplayer and I am sure they are right but after it all wears off in a few months will people just bring it down to loot (which is why eveyone ends up playing right?) and as such create an efficient build and not bother with multiplayer games?
Please note I have stayed away from too much information to try and not spoil too much so maybe there is a mechanic regarding multiplayer games I am missing?
