I am hoping to play 10~ minutes after launch, cataclysm launch worked perfectly. I only see issues with login servers.
And this after years of waiting in anticipation
How is this possible? Wouldn't the 24 hours mark be Midnight (PST) tonight?

I know it's been said already... but this really does feel like an April Fools or something... it's fucking unreal that I will be playing this so soon.

He's right. We will be playing for 48 minutes.
I just hope I won't die tomorrow or experience something that will render me unable to play the game.
Lucky you, our countdown is still at 1 day 8 hours =p.
I'll be pacing around my room at this hour tomorrow.

We will have played the game for 48 hours... well, I won't since I'm actually going to the midnight launch for some extra copies of the game :3
Yeah, we get it earlier ;-)
what is this movie?

WE GOT IT URRRLYYY.
^Credits to whoever gets that.
Léon. Go watch it now if you haven't already.
But how will you continue to post every 9 seconds?
The professional, of course. Love that movie.
Leon, one of the best movies ever.
Why the hell aren't they doing a global launch at the same time?
Honestly? It's just more fun in multiplayer and the downsides to it are limited, really. Maybe a few dedicated people will go solo only forever but, really, the game is more fun together.
Besides, even with the HP boosts and all that, you'll still cut through content faster as a group.

I've already said multiple times that I won't be posting at all when the game's out. I will only post when I feel that I need to update you guys my status (which means my level, my experience with the game, if I'm still alive etc).
Count me in
Don't think it's the proper one but damn if it doesn't remind me of MvC3 launch. URRRRLYYY posts for days.
People suck balls at math.

Well like i said I haven't seen too much of it but I dont see why you would cut faster through mobs if they have 425% health in the toughest difficulty and hit MUCH harder?
and yeah fun for a while but realistically a LOT of people are in it for the loot at the 2 month+ stage especially with money involved?

Pretty cool video for a quick summary on Diablo 3:

It is but it is never a bad thing to repost good videos like that!

16 hours* :_:
Synergy. Greater than the sum of their parts. And it's not that much more damage. On Inferno, it's a +30% increase, that's all.
Keep in mind, loot is instanced so it's not like people are even fighting for drops. There's no real downside to grouping up except for the MF% issue, really.
Re: Inferno monster HP boosts:
Keep in mind that if two people in the party each have a unique debuff that makes monsters take 15% more damage, then everybody is better off than if they were playing solo (for the standard silly assumptions like everybody is standing in one spot firing away at the same incoming monster until it dies, etc). It's not clear how you'd do it mathematically, but any abilities that slow or stun or otherwise screw with monsters are also going to help the whole party, so it really does make sense for monster HP to increase faster than the player count. I think multiplayer games will still make a lot of sense.

Hah, good times. I had more fun in the period leading up to it than after due to a lack of friends to play with

Well, I have my own LAN going on the first days but tuesday evening and afterwards EraVulgaris and me will probably teaming up with some Gaffers who are up for it
My guess was correct... sadly. Oh well.

ah see this I didnt know about. I see where you are going with this one although yes I dont know the maths on it either
Well its just a concern
The MF issue seems like it will the biggest problem regarding it. I was just thinking they might need more incentive for people to actually play together but if there are things like the first quote above that should be enough.sorijealut

If you have a regular key, and later get a CE key, contact Blizz support and they'll upgrade your account for you.
Same situation happened to me with WoW:Cataclysm. It was no big deal, Blizz support are super friendly.
Good luck!
If only I had a way to share them with... oh, that thought is too funny.
Skype call screen share. Hah. Probably not worth it.
Yeah, me too (the LAN part), but it doesn't hurt if other Euro people are feeling lonely or scared.
