Are there any videos of the collector's edition items? The wings and dyes I'd like to see in action.

No actual video footage of the content yet, unfortunately.

 

[Syrionus]

Your missing the point. The guy is an accomplished MMO raider with some serious feats under his belt over the years. There are many other accomplished gamers that want to be the first to beat Diablo 3 on Inferno. I'm sure they all have their own personal reasons, but the thing is, they are all making it a competitive game by vying for that world first.

I'll repeat my opinion, one more time. Kripp is a bit arrogant, but it's all in good fun. He a top tier player from World of Warcraft and has proven himself multiple times in world rankings. He's methodical, precise, prepared and enjoys what he does. Many people have enjoyed the videos he has made over the years. He is trying to step it up a notch with the release of D3 and become a much larger part in the gaming public's eye as it's what he loves. I'm assuming he is looking to make a bit of a career out of it as he is now sponsored by curse and partnered with youtube and Diablo 3 will probably be a large stepping stone into making that happen.

That's all. The guy wants to be the best and believes in knowledge and preparation. It's certainly at a much higher level that I would or could ever try at this point in my life, but I certainly don't begrudge the guy for trying to achieve his goals. Even if those goals align or don't align with what I deem appropriate life goals for myself.

*Sorry wasn't trying to drag this out, took me a bit to type it and the thread is moving quick!

That makes a difference with everything in life.

While we were raiding two weeks ago, I asked everyone if they were hyped for Diablo.

One person asked what Diablo was.
One person said he played the beta and it was boring.
One person asked if it's like WoW, in that case he's gonna be playing it.
One person think it's a kiddies game.

You see, I am (basically) the GM. After our Diablo-discussion, I had to replace these four unfortunate people.

Seriously? This is why you should've joined my guild ages ago Yoshi We're not raiding cause of Diablo.

Kripp is also mildly retarded. <3 if he reads this.

 

[Yoshichan]

What do I win.

Corran, why do you do this to me ?

Seriously? This is why you should've joined my guild ages ago Yoshi We're not raiding cause of Diablo.

Does this mean you're not doing your weekly ICC25?! HOW DARE YOU!

Resisting the temptation to go co-op for my first playthrough will be kinda difficult. But I must solo it.

 

[squidyj]

I finally decided on Wizard. Firing Lasers is just too awesome to ignore.

 

[zlatko]

Could've sworn I answered that last time you asked :x 45 hours now.

Agonizing, huh? Thankfully, my wait is only 44 hours!

Oh shapoopy. I missed it due to this threads speediness.

That's too much time. I need to travel to Europe.

 

[Ainaurdur]

And shoot first.

 

[piratepwnsninja]

Huzzah! Got my daughter's computer set up. So now we have a four PC LAN going so our entire family can be playing (Blizzard better be happy with all my dollars! Also bought two other copies for my brothers...sheesh!) My 680 gets here tomorrow too. Time to finish The Book of Cain!

And Yoshi, I see how it is. Undercore GAF Dad of the Year, but not good enough for the rallying speech pic.

/single tear
/sad hulk walking away music

 

[Teknoman]

I think i'll just play like normal, and if anyone on my friend list ends up joining while i'm playing, fine by me.

 

[Kalnos]

I'm co-oping it with my girlfriend who will read/watch the cinematics and dialog. Should be good!

 

[injurai]

Ok that's it, night guys. I always stay up way later than what I plan to.

What a great friggin' family. *tear*

 

[Felix Lighter]

Too bad North American servers aren't coming online 12:00 EDT. It's probably for the best though. I would probably do something stupid and play until 4:00 am and really suffer through work on Tuesday.

 

[perfect free]

Got home from spending the day with my mom. Roommate informs me he just bought Diablo III.

The hype... I can *see* it spreading!

 

[Gav47]

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

 

[Hazaro]

Why are you working on Tuesday? Or Wednesday for that matter?

 

[BigTnaples]

Got Diablo II to work in Windows 8!


Unfortunately, it works without sound only.

So I have the soundtrack playing on youtube...

 

[Raijin_Cain]

Ok, so I sort of caved and worked a bit more with Barb builds.

Heres one I just cooked up.

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/barbarian#WSkRVi!VcX!ZZbcca

Tell me what you guys think.

 

[Soakedjunk]

That's what I'm going to be doing and I have a staff meeting 9AM Tuesday morning. After waiting 12 years it'll be worth it.

What I wouldn't give for Blizz to launch the game a few hours early here in the US.

 

[scy]

Oh shapoopy. I missed it due to this threads speediness.

Contemplating traveling to Korea for a day!

Spoiler

Totally kidding guys. It'd be two days.

 

[HenryHSH]

My hardcore character will be a random build using the skill calculator gem at the bottom.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Why are you working on Tuesday? Or Wednesday for that matter?

If only I could take off but there's just too much going on for me at work to ask off. Maybe if I asked off weeks or months ago but not now. I'm taking off some extra time after memorial day, so there's that.

I knew I was missing someone! (actually I've missed like 10 people :_ You will be in my next update, I promise!

I think i'll just play like normal, and if anyone on my friend list ends up joining while i'm playing, fine by me.

Teknoman, I just want you to know that it would be an honor to play with you. I admire you actually :3

Ok that's it, night guys. I always stay up way later than what I plan to.

G'night soldier!

 

[zlatko]

Spoiler

Contemplating to offer nude pics up to a Blizz employee to gain me early access on my account.

 

[kyubajin]

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

 

[Kalnos]

Oh man. I didn't know about the gem randomizing builds at the bottom of that page.

We could have fun challenges where everyone has to use a build that the gem generates.

 

[Yoshichan]

Ok, so I sort of caved and worked a bit more with Barb builds.

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/barbarian#WSkRVi!VcX!ZZbcca

Tell me what you guys think.

Are you still planning on going 2H weapon? I need to know this in order to review your build :3

 

[Ainaurdur]

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

Made me check my pre-order even though I knew the status wouldn't be changed yet, still isn't.

My hardcore character will be a random build using the skill calculator gem at the bottom.

That would be an interesting challenge to take part in, some months down the road perhaps.

 

[scy]

Come on, it's Blizzard related and you weren't suspicious of every gem? For shame!

 

[Tess3ract]

Contemplating to offer nude pics up to a Blizz employee to gain me early access on my account.

No one wants to see that.

 

[Raijin_Cain]

I do plan to, but I have to say I wasnt thinking ot it while doing this build.

Would it work here or it better something else?

 

[Kalnos]

Come on, it's Blizzard related and you weren't suspicious of every gem? For shame!

Back in my day Blizzard didn't supply the talent calculator!

 

[Yoshichan]

No one wants to see that.

I wouldn't be so sure about that...

 

[scy]

Made me check my pre-order even though I knew the status wouldn't be changed yet, still isn't.

Same

That would be an interesting challenge to take part in, some months down the road perhaps.

I wish that the calculator let you put a level limit. That way I could make a random build to change to for every level!

 

[Yoshichan]

I do plan to, but I have to say I wasnt thinking ot it while doing this build.

I really have a problem with 2H Frenzy >_< especially with that rune. If you're gonna health steal then you need to hit fast!

Question time! Okay so we know that this button randomizes your skills and runes:

But what does clicking the thing at the top do?!

 

[Kalnos]

Every time you click the skull a Yoshi dies.

I totally linked that song because it makes me feel like an immature 10 year old.

Um...I will probably chnge it to Cleave with Broad Sweep then.

Will it work then?

 

[TestMonkey]

The skill calculator is such a tease. Input a a build. Check the level requirement. Become saddened.

Anyone else going Hardcore? I'm gonna run through each Act on my normal character then run through it on a HC so there are no surprises.

 

[Chiggs]

I feel the need to get a Collector's Edition now.

 

[Yoshichan]

Every time you click the skull a Yoshi dies.

Open that link.

Done? Ok. Now increase the volume.

Done? Ok. Now listen carefully...

Look... look at my balls!
Look... look at my balls!

 

[zethren]

So us East coasters can't start playing the game until 3 AM EST?

Doing the same, I want to experience the lore first and then after that, I'll play the game seriously and begin my journey into madness.

I am going HC right away I think (well, as right away as possible anyway). Surprises in HC are the best!

And three clicks later I was watching a naruto video with rock music. WHY DO THEY ALL HAVE ROCK MUSIC?
