And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Yup. The game could've literally ended with the Skeleton King and it would've still been an amazing game. I've spent more time with the beta than I've spent in all 2011 games totally.

Indeed, the beta removed any doubts I had (if there even were doubts in the first place).
It's time to sleep, see you tomorrow guys (EU, fuck yeah), when the fire from the sky will stop falling and come to a halt.
I predict that at least half will be strong enough to survive the community-hammer.
I'm not even in that pic and I'll be around in the community thread for a long time to come. I've been to busy these past few days to really post a lot in the OT. I'm lurking though!

Gotta post more man! A great soldier will always be a great soldier, but how does he expect a promotion if he stands in the back of the army?

Simple warmth to my heart.

I played every class at least twice through, some a third.

Anyone can post on a forum though. First level 60 gaffer however, I'll be getting no problem.
Instead of installer being on a disk you'll download it.

Thinking about pre-purchase. How does it work for the digital version?

You are now among us, brother! Stand forth warrior, and make sure to rest up! Tomorrow we go through the depths of hell, TOGETHER!

What'll be the best way to talk to people during the game? Mumble? Do I need to set a separate server or should I join the main GAF one in the OP?

I wouldn't say "no problem", but you certainly have a big chance if you plan on rushing! I expect everyone in this thread to take it slowly the first time through!

I'm actually in Australia! And thank you for including me in the awesome picture, I will gladly give me life for this cause.
UMBASA.
I'd love to challenge for that but with work and all, I just don't think it'll pan out for me
There are 2 legendary bows at level 60, and a ton of rares.

Decided to go Wizard after I heard Barbarians level out past 25 which means the others get stronger imho. We shall see. Wizard was my 2nd choice anyway and I'm sure I'll go back and start a barbarian. God I can't wait!
Alright, I up with a thorns build to try to imagine a double shield build:

Problem is generating fury with ground stomp since it has a cooldown. Not sure how to really handle that (maybe adding leap instead of battle rage?)

My impression from the beta is that in general two-handed bows are better than dual wielding the one-handed xbows. You can equip a quiver with a two-handed bow, so you're not actually missing out on affixes, other than ones that are unique to the one-handed xbows. Maybe two perfect one-handed xbows would work well together, but it's going to be much easier to find a perfect two-handed bow or a perfect one-handed xbow and then take a pretty good quiver in the other hand.
Edit: I'm not a big fan of dual-wielding other than for the Monk and Barbarian, sometimes.
Not me. I'll also try to get up there on HC.
Huh that is interesting, I didn't know that.

You're streaming as-well, right? I can't wait to watch the VODs somtime in the future...

Godlike! Good job, now if everyone in this thread did the same...
To clear up what I said above: the issue is that when you dual-wield you get a 15% AS bonus. But quivers come with pretty big damage bonuses such that you're going to be getting something like that 15% damage boost from it alone, and you're getting all of your attacks from your best xbow rather than the average of your best two.
Edit: My bad, quivers have AS bonuses. They went to about 10% in the beta, which wasn't as good as dual-wielding, but might get better later. Plus if your weapon has +damage affixes, the quiver is better than dual-wielding because it doubles the effectiveness of the one weapon's damage affix relative to having two weapons each with a damage affix.

If Blizzard put something in our water I wouldn't care.
Yeah. I allready set up overlays and stuff. Right now installing my webcam.
I've gotten 3 friends who were planning on skipping this game to get it, still working on a few more that are not sure if their laptops can handle it. But they are close to sold.

Excellent shit man. God, at this point I just want to multi-produce my brain and do 10x at once on launch
Boss! I've probably managed to get 40-50 people to buy the game since the reveal (2008).
