Support NeoGAF

[Eusis]

No. But I played SC2 and it was reasonably fine. Besides, I usually tether with my phones 3G until it get about halfway(About a weeks worth of internet) and then I slow down usage.

This sucks hardcore.

Ah, I may've overestimated how strenuous these games are to a connection then. Still, sucky.

 

[smiggyRT]

Beat Act 1, so so good.

Went with the Demon Hunter, not disappointed but I wish I had cooler looking equipment.

 

[BigAT]

Does anyone else's audio get completely out of sync while watching the videos? It's off by like 3-4 whole seconds by the end of it.

On normal you have like 30% of items off the full game.
From nightmare you are opening the 70% rest of items.

Play play play

edit: by the way this was said on blizzcon last year

 

[celebi23]

My CE is out for delivery!!! Looks like it went out at 4:30am EDT. I've got the client all installed & ready to go

Yeah it's not too bad. I have a 12GB data plan and use about half of it for internet. It's not too shabby.

Has a baller voice though

Ah, thanks for that!

That can't be right. If it was the average of the 2 then you would be better off just equipping the higher of the 2 weapons.

I'm sure I read that somewhere, I'm trying to find something useful on it now (I'm no expert). You would still get the extra stat benefits ahead of the DPS by equipping two weapons though.

 

[blainethemono]

looks like me and my friend are both lagged out in game right now. can't do anything...can't even leave the game. but we can still chat fine. Actually looks like he was able to leave the game, but I still see him standing here

 

[Xian]

Why the fuck arent y;all playing and still posting here?

Just finished normal after ~11 hours. I think I'll die if I continue with NM now.

 

[mizuk_i]

This game looks amazing in the later areas fuck the haters.

Wow, really rushed through?

Finished act1 last night with two friends (one of them my brother), took us 5.5 hours. But we did explore every little nook n cranny.

 

[Oni Link 666]

I got in at around 4:30. Now I'm really tired and I think I'm going to go to bed.

I started a Monk guy. I named him Shoryuken. The only new thing I've seen that I didn't do in the beta was a cave with a bunch of bats. Deckard Cain's lore said it was the inside of a bat itself.

 

[FieryBalrog]

Was able to log in after timing out once. No issues so far.

Hm.. some asian dudes finished it in 5 hours.

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Thread slowed down since I got a couple hours of sleep. Thank god. I'll check back later this morning when I can wake up at a more reasonable time.

 

[twobear]

FFFFFFFFFFFFF

 

[fugimax]

Augh, windows update just rebooted mah shit.

 

[Fox1304]

Anyone could tell me if it would run on a Macbook Unibody ? ( even at low settings )
4Gig RAM, 8400Mm, C2D 2,4 Ghz

 

[LaB_NL]

I have horrendous internet at my place. Like, 50MB takes 20 minutes bad. FML!

Ah well that sucks... On the other hand a new dvd drive costs about twenty bucks.

 

[gimmmick]

Just pasted finished the last part of the beta and did one quest after that. I'm f`n tired but still want to play!

 

[Thoraxes]

Thanks to everyone who's been adding me so far. Hopefully I can play with you all tomorrow when I get my actual copy of the game (CE)! The starter edition will work for now.

 

[heliconsoul]

Game Downloaded and installed - Check
CE Arrived - Check
Key Activated - Check

Eight hours until I can get home and play............check

CE is great, equal quality to the WoW ones.

I'm running d3 on high / medium settings and I'm on a 2010 spring macbook pro. (2.4 i5, 330m geforce). Not sure how that relates to your rig right there.

 

[Benutzer]

how do is reset my follower skills? i think i've made a huge mistake...

 

[Number45]

That can't be right. If it was the average of the 2 then you would be better off just equipping the higher of the 2 weapons.

Found this thread, just going through it now.

I've found this information so far, which might be useful:

Attack Speed

Attack Speed in diablo 3 is normally presented as "Attacks per second". The faster your weapon is the more attacks per second can be achieved. This does directly affect skills and spells.

Direct hit attacks like Bash have a shorter animation and can be used faster.

Damage over Time effects like Rend "tick" more often and produce more damage. The absolut time of the skill does not change.

Channeled skills like Whirlwind or Ray of Frost "tick" more often and produce more damage. This does also increase the amount of resources the spell needs as it becomes "faster".

If your character uses two one handed weapon he gets a unique attack speed bonus of 15%.

There are two main categories for attack speed. One is the modified weapon speed. The base weapon speed increased by all speed increasing affixes on the weapon. The second is the sum of all other attack speed increasing factors, even the dw bonus. Those two speed modifiers are multiplied for the overall speed.

So if you use Rend for example, a faster attack speed would be useful for the ticks. For single target I'm guessing the extra speed would be fully offset by by the magnitude of the hit from a two hander.

I haven't researched builds thoroughly, but I really hope (aside from block chances) that there are compelling reasons to use a shield later on. I love shields.

how do is reset my follower skills? i think i've made a huge mistake...

Apparently you can right click the portrait. What have you done? I think I took the taunt + heal.

 

[Raide]

Finally checking out the stuff after the Skelly King...some pretty awesome stuff to get murdered by.

 

[profit]

Come on time go faster! Have nothing to do here at work but stare at streams/D3GAF....

 

[Sn4ke_911]

So why can people finish the game in 5 hours. It's almost like a Call of Duty game. How the fuck is that even possible? yes i know it's on normal and easy as shit but still 5 hours seems a bit short.

I nearly got taken out by the first mob I came to after that, and I really shouldn't have. Blatantly obvious what it was going to do!

Is this really happening? I explored and read everything last night, but it still took me more than three hours just to get to vanquish the Skeleton King.

 

[zroid]

weeelll I definitely didn't know you could equip two one-handed weapons at a time! the hell.

no wonder I kept getting those nag messages in-game. in the beta I thought it had to be either two-handed weapon or one-handed weapon + shield

a noob am I

 

[JimmyBoy]

Well. Off to work. Game works for me this morning at least I know that. Let us hope something breaks at work and makes the day go by faster. I need to click.

The game saves automatically right?

Funny how the first packs in the area after the Skelly start to ramp up the difficulty slowly.

Met the Old Tree Man and his minions. Utterly forgot about the pools of poison and when I killed him, I stood in it and died lol.

Replaying and leveling in beta Starter Edition until my CE arrives today.

Add me, although you can't play with me unless you're in my same situation. (Starter until physical game arrives.)

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

I've spent all my money on the artisan.

Skeleton King is done. I'm finding the British accents to be a little jarring, as they're slightly off.

Talking about Korean game completion times is not relevant to 99.999% of living humans.

Yeah, I soon realised I should keep my distance with those or pull them away. Might be worth using Ancient Spear with those actually, I really haven't bothered with that skill at all yet.

Yes, this link contains spoilers.

Figured it might, I resolved some time ago not to click any links in this thread.

 

[Firemind]

Just finished normal after ~11 hours. I think I'll die if I continue with NM now.

How?

Played ten hours and I'm still in the middle of act 2.

 

[mysocksarepink]

the thread basically died

I wonder how happy yoshi is


back to playing


level 11 Dh atm

 

[raphier]

Sounds like the game is really short. I keep hearing about level 38 characters on Nightmare already and it's not been a day out.

The guys from TheGDStudio are lvl45. 60 is max right?

 

[eBay Huckster]

got a monk up to level 8 within about two hours

(granted i'm playing with a guest pass 'cause i'm waiting until this term's over until i actually buy any new games)

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Yes, this link contains spoilers.

Only if you're stupid enough to ignore the spoiler alert warning at the bottom of this link which includes a image of the end fight (i think?).

quote from the text.

And we have the first people we managed to complete the SP mode of Diablo III. As you may have guessed, these people come from Korea and they have managed to complete the game - in normal difficulty – in around 4-5 hours. Of course, these people are not ordinary people like most of us. Therefore, there is nothing to really worry about the game’s length. It’s a fact, though, that it will take you approximately a day or two to complete Diablo III in normal difficulty.
In case you’re wondering, there are already achievements for finishing each ACT in under an hour. So yeah, it’s ‘doable’.
Keep also in mind that the fun – in Diablo III – starts in the higher levels of difficulty and we can assume that those who have finished it have also rushed in and skipped much of the game’s content.

Spoiler alert. Here is a screengrab from the final battle. Make sure to skip it if you haven’t finished the game, although you won’t understand a lot if you take a simple glimpse at it. We’ve also included a video from Berlin’s midnight launch.

Just don't click the screengrab link and you're good.

My DVD drive broke! It fucking broooooooooooke!

You can still download the game if you have a key.
