This will be my first physical copy of a game in 7 years. It feels weird.

Does it ... have needs?

 

[Freki]

fuck! I got the error: file thing and it won't install. Do I have to redownload all that again, or just wait for the disc now?

Bashiok:

Yes, the 108 error is likely caused by partial or incomplete files due to the downloader being closed before it was completely finished.

You should be able to launch the downloader again, point to the directory holding the "Diablo-III-8370-enUS-Installer" to verify game files and correct any missing data. Let the downloader sit there, even though it's at 100%, and it should eventually auto-launch the installer.

Alternatively you can download the client again (and make sure you don't close it prematurely this time), or wait for the new installer that includes streaming and doesn't require a full download.

three Prime Evilsiablo, Mephisto, Baal
four Lesser Evils: Andariel, Duriel, Belial, Azmodan

You killed Andariel and Duriel in Diablo 2, so the other two are still left.

edit: ahh beaten.

...so in the event of a Diablo IV, are they going to have to retcon in some new evils? Lesser Lesser Evils?

That or I guess one of the Primes will revive (and stay alive) or Azmodan/Belial avoids getting shanked at some point.

 

[Yoshichan]

PS - Yoshi why dony you stream yourself playing? Tomorrow at work I wanna see your reactions.

Sorry, streaming isn't my thing unfortunately

 

[Sober]

GUYS, DON'T REDOWNLOAD THE WHOLE THING!

Check your files!

Point the downloader to the same directory as before, then he checks the files and downloads what is missing!

I did, it decided to check about 100 MB and then start downloading from there even though I was at "100%" a few weeks ago when it finished.

 

[thetrin]

Are the cinematics in-game or CGI? Do they differ based on the hero & gender selection?

CG, and the intros do, but I don't know about the rest.

This will be my first physical copy of a game in 7 years. It feels weird.

Does it ... have needs?

All it needs is ample shelf space and lots of love.

 

[Cpt.Underpants]

Yes, just redownload.

Thanks, re-downloaded it worked

 

[oneils]

Ok. Desperate beg-time. Anyone have a guest pass I could use until my CE arrives on Thursday? I will be your BFF. Love, oneils.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Amazon has shipped my package. It's on it's way from Delaware and should be here on time tomorrow, you can all calm down now.

 

[kever0nicas]

i just watched every intro, all classes, all genders

Are the intros for each class gender very different?

 

[theinfinityissue]

Installed, patched and good to go without any problem. Now the real waiting begins. Not gonna lie, when I finally watched the opening cinematic (been avoiding all d3 cinematics) I got a couple of hype shivers.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

I'm not going to be able to play until Wednesday afternoon. Having a job sucks. I wish I was able to call out.

I'm not playing until Friday because another guy at work is even more hyped than I am, we're too busy to afford taking vacation atm, and we both know why the other would be calling in sick.

 

[picklecannon]

Okay so now I'm making a male witch doctor because the female VA was pretty mediocre, whereas the male VA is pretty much perfect.

Are the intros for each class gender very different?

I've only watched WD but they're the exact same script.

 

[Woo-Fu]

On the ATI issue, don't hit the OK button. Just hit escape and it'll start the game instead of exiting out.

 

[DieH@rd]

INSTALLED

 

[Kiraly]

45% left MY BRETHREN

 

[Keikaku]

Installed and I watched the first cinematic in all it's glory. Now the wait for the game to go live begins in earnest. I've only posted twice in this thread and I think I'm stepping out until I beat the game. Don't want to stumble over any more spoilers.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

i just watched every intro, all classes, all genders

how the fuck? cause you played the beta?

 

[Raijin_Cain]

Sorry, streaming isn't my thing unfortunately

Awwww. Will watch Kripp`s stream. what the link for his stream again?

I could find it but you probably have it memorized.

PS - Enjoy this moment! Hope the game is everything you hope it will be!

 

[Yoshichan]

Are the intros for each class gender very different?

The classes are different but not the genders.

 

[Hackbert]

Amazon, Noooo! why have you forsaken me. Ship my box this instant, higher powers compel you.

same here.. Amazon UK to Germany -.- dispatchhhhhh

 

[Bisnic]

I wonder how many copies this game will sell.

And i bet Blizzard will include the 1 million free copies thy gave to WoW players when they will announce it.

 

[thetrin]

Why does the installer say two Lords of Hell remain? I thought there were more after the Prime three?

There are 4 lessers, but two of them got ganked in D2. So there are only 2 left.

 

[Dark Phoenix]

You can, download the preloader on the first page, you don't need a digi copy to pre-install!

I wish I knew sooner, downloading now.

 

[FlutterPuffs]

Diablo 3 installer review

After all the hype, the install itself was a little underwhelming. The music was great, but the IQ was just plain bad. Sketches, really!? We expected full blown CG for your installs blizzard.

I guess there's only Torchlight II to look forward to now.

3/5

 

[neoism]

Man, I wish I could join this installer hype, stupid physical copy.

you can still download it right.... I 'm getting the pyhsical copy too.... I thought you could just put in the keys when you get the game??? Would someone please confirm this....

 

[cutmeamango]

I was going to buy this game only to be slapped in the face with a 7th June release date for Brazil. Damn youuuu Deckard Caaaaain!!!

What ATI issue?

[StoppedInTracks]

I won't even watch reviews for this game.

Xactly.

Even if you did not participate in the beta and just did not follow this game, watching all 5 gameplay trailers on the game's main web page and looking at the developer's history makes it a no brainer to buy Diablo 3.

Game will be AAAA+ top quality.

 

[neoism]

You can, download the preloader on the first page, you don't need a digi copy to pre-install!

thanks lol go scared for a minute. lol

 

[Anoregon]

I wonder how many copies this game will sell.

Twelve. It will sell twelve copies.

 

[Adamm]

Amazon UK hasnt dispatched yet!
Guess I wont be getting it for tomorrow then

Unless they have dispatched it but just not updated the order yet ( I can hope)

 

[oneils]

What ATI issue?

Problems with AMD Catalyst 12.4. Blizz blues on battle.net were informing people to roll back to 12.3. You can probably find more info on battle.net.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

On the ATI issue, don't hit the OK button. Just hit escape and it'll start the game instead of exiting out.

Pro tip: Hit escape

haha thanks man.

 

[UnluckyKate]

My korean girlfriends was at the launch event in Seoul and told me people where going out with CE in early afternoon... Too bad they couldn't play right now but had to wait servers to go live

My copy has been dispatched. Delivery just after my exams on thursday. I know I'm a brave man.

 

[scy]

What ATI issue?

Some people are getting a message about their card not being compatible (despite the card actually being perfectly fine).

My korean girlfriends was at the launch event in Seoul and told me people where going out with CE in early afternoon... Too bad they couldn't play right now but had to wait servers to go live

Asia servers should be up in about 5 minutes.

Bashiok:

All it does for me is making another installer folder within the folder with the already data thats there and starts downloading from the beginning.

 

[bogg]

On the ATI issue, don't hit the OK button. Just hit escape and it'll start the game instead of exiting out.

I love you like a brother.

 

[Cpt.Underpants]

Dumb question, do you have to wait till launch to play the game? Or could play it immediately after finishing installing it?

Spoiler

Be gentle

And i'll start adding people on the Diablo 3 Battletag list, EU peepz

 

[Nibel]

THEY ARE HERE!! THEY ARE ALL HERE......

THEY ARE SO BEAUTIFUL......

After all these years

 

[DieH@rd]

Man, intro really had bad macroblocking in some parts. Why so low video bitrate Blizz?

 

[TheOnlyMook]

My Amazon order just changed to 'shipping soon'

HYPE

This thread is so fantastic.

Can't wait for someone to take that seriously.

Then it sounds like you pointed the install one directory too deep :x Go up a level.

Thanks kind sir. If you ever play the America Server lets play together ._.

PS - Can I put you on my friends list on Battle. net even if you are from a different server?

 

[JetBlackPanda]

do I get anything for having diablo I and II or wow on my battlenet account??

I kind of want to start a fresh account because my wow account was banned after being hacked like 8 months ago apparently.

 

[Yoshichan]

currently this game is a 8.5. Slightly disappointed by the intro quality

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Are the intros for each class gender very different?

Only voice over is different.

 

[syoaran]

Thats exactly what happens on busy orders. Expect it to update at 10PM tonight or even as late as tomorrow morning when the parcel is updated by arriving at your local depot.

Not sure why people are going crazy over watching the cinematic from the different classes already. Clearly a bug that allows us access to all the ones in the starter edition before we unlocked the class, since everyone I know is now watching them inregardless to beta entry or not.

Still, the Wizard music in the opening cutscene is EPIC.
