Ahhh thanks, I was curious. I should've known that DD is global now.
I really like it! Your thoughts are very similar to mine.
I don't get why you ditched crits though! I'm all for crits - do they not work on swords?

The barb build I was playing with -- http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/barbarian#WhRVTj!bdS!ccbabZ
Going for lots of survivability. Want to have Earthquake and Call of the Ancients because Earthquake seems brutal and while I don't know if it'll be worth taking over something else, CotA just seems cool as fuck and something I want to have. Ignore pain + revenge a couple times should help thin out nasty packs of mobs and keep me alive, and as a bonus with all those passives those Revenges are healing me a ton. All theoretical at this point obviously but looks pretty good to me
Gonna be playing through normal with my friend who's playing Wizard

Primarily because of Weapons Master giving +10% crit to Maces/Axes, and I hate Maces and Axes.
10% is such a large amount of crit that I feel that a sword/crit build would simply be too crippled because of that loss. :\

Mm... very true. I haven't realized the weapon-specific nature of crits, then. Thanks for that.
You have purchased directly from Blizzard, so the key is already attached to your account, you will be able to run the installer tomorrow, and then log in to the game at 3:01am EDT on the 15th.
I would probably go for Seismic Slam instead of Whirlwind or pick leap/ground stomp instead of Ignore Pain. Your Barb does nt seem to have a way to get out of or avoid a sticky situation.
Ar there different launch times for regions?
I got an email yesterday from jbhifi (australian here) saying ithe servers won't be live til 5pm aest (24 hours from now)
So why are some of you saying ~8 hours
Yes.
Fuck yes, thankyou. Hopefully it's not expensive. Found a wiki page on dyes. Looks like where you actually are greatly affects your armour colour also.

We're gonna need a new OT very soon.

It's roughly 8 hours until the installer unlocks, which means you can install the game that you've downloaded. At 5PM AEST the servers will unlock and you can log in!

Finally a publisher that recognises the birthplace of time!
That's bull
May as well make the launch the 16th of may in aus then. Lucky I didn't take the 15th off from work.
The launch times aren't different, there is one launch time, which is midnight PDT which then means it's 5PM AEST.

Much more so.

Why 3 am here and not midnight?! =(((( i'm in michigan?
No they are different. Because when my game is unlocked here in Europe, the US still has to wait 9 hours.

you sir are correct.. =( which is why i'm sad and confused by this
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm curious. Why don't these types of games let you create a character with a custom appearance? All the major ones I can think of off the top of my head have a set model for each different class. I really like what Blizzard has done so I can't say I care that much about the lack of it, but it just seemed odd that they were all like that.
Man some of those fan art would make amazing wallpapers.
Either a focus on story or easy identification when playing co-op?

No it's great. It unlocks at the same local time basically everywhere. Most of the time they release games with just the US time in mind and the game for us Euros unlocks in the middle of the day or even worse the evening. At least this way everyone gets the same experience. Well expect the Aussies apparently.
Holy shit - this makes me so depressed. Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau and SK get to play in 7 hours, while Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines and Australia have to wait for the Americans. T_T
Why yes, yes I will. I'm a proud papa.
Blizzard actually says they were planning this at first but scrapped it. The reasoning was you never really get a good look at your character anyway especially with gear.
Not really good reasoning but oh well.
Heads-Up for any Aussie who might have pre-ordered a physical copy at Game:

Quick mechanical question: for a caster such as a Wizard, is cast speed tied to weapon attack speed?

Here's one for the Barb, Witch Doctor, Wizard and Demon Hunter.

Excellent, thank you.
Yeah, how can that not be illegal?
Read the article. It seems that by Australien law a company that is under administration does not have to give refunds.
Still a fucked up situation for probably more than a few Australien Diablo fans.

it's a terrible time to launch - i hate having something launch at 3 am (east coast)
Australian midnight time is ideally the best time for everyone to play... only places really getting screwed is new zealand and hawaii
i hope some company will figure that out some day...
So Australian law sucks. Well that's not surprising. But why does it suck?
That is some serious bullshit.
that's fucked up yo
