That compression is a lot worse than I thought. It starts out ok, but then just gets more awful. For a company that prides themselves in cinematics its a shame they were compressed so much.

Anyone planning on playing hardcore right out of the gate (or as close to out of the gate as Blizzard will allow)? If so, let me know. I'm playing on the NA servers.

IF they want to compress, OK, but give an option for those with more space/bandwidth to go for 1080p cinematics without all the damn blocking and fuzz

Barb > DH > Monk > Wizard > WD, if I recall?

It's basically a four-way tie with WD bringing up the rear.



Haha :x Enjoy your ~two hours?

Yeah about two hours IF the servers are up when I wake up. Then 9 hours of straight work, then I can come home and get in another 4 hours.

Fuck the world. I want to be a piece of shit basement dwelling troll again with unlimited gaming hours. ; ;

Well my plan to get some ZZ's immediately after work so I can go the distance has failed, just couldn't sleep. Having a great day at work and D3 has me too buzzed.

It's time to do this raw. I have ganj and Point Defiance IPA and Pizza at the ready. Gonna watch Game of Thrones to pass some time.

Don't think I can pull an all-nighter, but I'm going to play the shit out of it tonight.

It's insanity, of course. I should just do my normal thing and play it tomorrow.

But I can't. This is Diablo motherfucking 3.

I've regained mine up until tonight, now it really is approaching insanity especially considering I'm going to have to wade through all the beta content first, making 4 am before I even get to new content.

I'm not gonna make it.

Yeah, I'm going to try and rush through to the SK first. I bet we can get there in 2 hours at the max since we know the lay of the land.

And then we enter the unknown...

Hey everyone I have a question. I was going to pick it up at gamestop but then I realized well im not getting the collectors and to save money on tax it would probably be better to just buy it online. So i was wondering if i buy it on amazon since they dont have have a digital download, if they would email me a copy of the key or would i have to wait for the actual game. OR is there an even better place to buy it online? If anyone could give me some info and help me out I would really appreciate it bc im excited and rdy to start playing it when the servers go live :D

Having so much fun, but taking it slowly. Only made it to level 9 on my Wizard as I'm making my way toward
the Skeleton King
in Act 1.
I don't know if it's just my eyes deceiving me, but the game looks better to me than it did during that stress test.

Amazon will ship you a retail copy. If you want a digital copy, buy it from Blizzard themselves.

Ok thanx thats what I thought. But also is blizzard the only place to get a digital copy. Cause I had the beta, so i have the client and everything installed already I just need a key. So probably the best course of action i figured would be to just buy it digitally right

Beta client does not update to the retail client. You'll still need to download the installer and install the retail client.

The beta client is not compatible with the retail client. You'll need to delete the beta and download the retail version.

considering the amount of patching that goes on in Blizzard games, it's going to be outdated pretty damn quickly.

Can any hardcore Diablo 1 and 2 fan give some impressions? Is it truly rainbows and unicorns or is this game worthy of the Diablo name? My preorder is coming tomorrow but I'm not pumped yet. Just scared Blizzard might have tweaked the formula too much.

Shit...I'll be out of town on a business trip without a reliable internet connection for the whole week starting tomorrow.

I really hate not being able to play offline. I have been anticipating D3 for like 9 years... :-(
