Wait wait wait, people on the east coast won't be able to play online until 3 am? If that's true, can I make a character in single player and play online when the servers go up?

lol single player

 

[injurai]

The very first post in this thread under Digital Download. Then pic the version that is right for you.

Rock Paper Shotgun put up a "qucik look", the first 3 hours

"In the UK and Asia, at least, with the US version unlocking in about five hours. Words that still don’t make sense when you look at them."

Amen.

Exactly what I was going to respond with, lol.

You won't be able to play period till 3 am......

oh lame

 

[LowParry]

4 more hours......4 more hours...

I randomly jumped through the article and, obviously, ended up on the section where RPS is bitching about the "alway online"...color me surprised...sigh. Those guys never change.

It's a pretty valid complaint.

 

[AllenShrz]

I still cant connect, no licence or B.Net under maintenance.


Its HL2 release date all over to me again!

 

[KAP151]

I didnt even see the notepad at the bottom of the box till now.

Nice little bonus, cheers blizz!

 

[Lasthope106]

The music in the installer is sending chills my spine. Oh god.

Is this normal?

[FieryBalrog]

It's a pretty valid complaint.

It is, but it's also in every single RPS article on the issue (including full articles devoted to it), usually with some snarky comment. Just get over it at this point. If that was a dealbreaker (as it will be for many) why are you buying it?

 

[Yaboosh]

Extremely valid.

Why would they change when they're completely right about this issue?

Any Aussies know which servers will produce lowest latency for us? Guessing US.

 

[VGChampion]

West coast thing is stupid. East coast should get it at 12 EST, and West coast gets it at 12 PST. I realize it's not the same time but there isn't any racing going on. Stupid gaming logic. My New Years doesn't begin at 3 AM.

 

[scorpscarx]

Alright I finally watched the last Harry Potter, but only because my friend rented it (I read the books a long time ago).

Not bad, now to wait for D3....

I'm definitely in the mood now.

 

[krpiper]

Whats the purpose of the WoW one? Cant you download the starter version anyway

 

[Jeff_Chen]

I AM READY FOR THE END OF DAYS!

so naive

I see, you'll be fapping the stick until Diablo let go... sweet business -_,-+

Yep.

 

[fizzelopeguss]

there's an insane amount of art assets in act 1 so far.

 

[TouchMyBox]

So what's the fastest way to the secret pony level?

edit: Not sure if spoiler if not sure if it's in the game.

I just find it intensely bizarre that people who say, can see the Blizz offices from their windows play the game last in the world.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

I hope wal-mart has the collector's edition tomorrow.

By not posting spoilers.

 

[rybrad]

Yep.

Wow, really? I have only been to Australia once but it seemed awfully far away. I feel bad for you guys dealing with that latency.

 

[Optimus Lime]

Australia, digital edition here.

Trying to log into the EU servers - it says 'This Battle.net account does not have a Diablo III license attached to it.'

Have I done something wrong? It is on my account page on battle.net.

Any ideas?

 

[Unknown Soldier]

I think I saw a previous post saying we all need to download the installer again? Is that true? And if so, where is a link to it?

I'm waiting for my physical CE, Same Day Delivery from Amazon, but I want to install it right away at midnight!

Is Act I longer than the 'beta'?

Also, when does the NPD for this game expire. 3 AM EST?

Aussie bnet accounts are tied to the Americas master servers. Once they go online, your license'll be checked and global play'll be unlocked, supposedly.

 

[scorpscarx]

Umm unless my sarcasm meter is extremely malfunctioning there is no fucking secret pony level, jeebus.

You have to wait till US servers open. T minus 3:45

Dammit. Was hoping to get in a few hours early. Ah well.

 

[Lombax]

wow the video quality of the cut scenes is terrible.

Seriously, it's no secret.

It's Act II.

Just one specific version of the installer did. And you didn't need to reinstall the whole thing, really, just start the install and point it to the same directory. It was just missing a few files, more or less.

Is Act I longer than the 'beta'?

Beta content was basically just the first quest.

it's the fucking worst decision Blizzard has ever made. All their games are like this..

Sc2 its midnight here yet I wait until 3am to play..

same with WoW and it's expansions'


it's fucking ridiculous

when it's midnight, I should be able to play.

 

[kever0nicas]

Console port confirmed?

Only 4 more hours...just finished shopping...goodbye life

Why midnight? The time is arbitrary anyway.

Seriously, but I think it has to do with maintaining and servicing the servers. They only have some many engineers on staff, and only so many people can be involved in keeping things running smoothly. So they just focus on each region at a time.

I'm runnin low on zealousd videos.

Do great cutscences -> compress them as hell. Why?!

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Console port confirmed?

The CE comes with a DVD and Blu-ray disc which includes the cutscenes in higher quality, a tradition started with the Warcraft III CE.

CE owners confirmed for Master Race. Tee hee.
