Diablo III |OT| Stay Awhile And... *click* *click* *click*

Don't really like the Witch Doctor after getting past the skeleton king. Think I'll restart as a Wizard or a Monk

What can I expect from the Monk? Any cool abilities/runes?

His primary attacks are kinda like combos; each successive hit is a little different, the final of the three (or more) doing more damage/area/distance. His secondaries are kind of his finishers. I really like deadly reach; looks cool and extends really far.

the campaign is the multiplayer. It's all the same stuff.

So the aim is to keep replaying the same campaign over and over again at harder difficulties or something? I've never played a diablo game.

I.e is the story mode that everyone is going through now *it* in terms of content?

Skeleton King down just before work. Was a little late, but there were no repercussions. :) Played co-op and it was SO fun vs solo.

Is it true the campaign is incredibly short, like 6 hours or something? Basically not worth playing unless you're going to get heavy into the multiplayer?

Normal campaign should take 15 hours or so. Then you play through twice more on nightmare and hell difficulty. When you reach level 60 you try to beat inferno. If you are up for a challenge people think inferno is so hard it may take weeks for the first clear. Good luck.

Yes. And to keep getting better and better loot.

I got to play for about 2 hours before work this morning. Was fun, seemed like there were more champ/unique monsters than in beta.

In the OP is says turn on Elective mode to set any skill you want...that doesn't seem to work. I still have to pick one from each of the categories. I can assign them to any button I want but it doesn't let me pick two from the same category.

My understanding is it should let you do that.. except for some special skills like mantras for monk; I think you can only have one of them.

Yea, you keep playing certain sections of the game to get better items, then try to push through to harder areas. Inferno, the hardest difficulty, is supposedly reaaaaallly hard to finish. It may be a while until anybody does.

The key is to find the bosses that have the best gear in their drop tables and keep farming them until you get that gear. Trust me, it's a lot more addicting/fun than you'd think.

*reposting questions from last page*

I have a couple questions.

I'm on the 3rd quest in act 2... or at least I was until I left and joined a public game on an earlier quest. Do I have to redo everything now? It won't let me select quest back to where I was before.

Is there any way to change the text size? I'm getting tired of having to put my face into the laptop every time someone in my party types something.

In this case bosses aren't even the best loot droppers, although they do drop good gear. Its the rare/champion dudes that drop the best stuff I think. This was a measure take by blizzard to get rid of repetitive boss runs.

I just beat it T_T

So now that D3 has begun to steep, have any character balance issues been discovered? Any particularly OP or UP classes or abilities?

Rating a game that they're going to be playing for YEARS based on the first hour after launch is idiotic. :lol Everything was running pretty smoothly by 2AM.

Silly kids.

1 star reviews because it had a bad couple of hours at launch? kids shouldn't be allowed on the internet.

No MMO/online RPG has had a perfect launch, even COD has shitty launches.

It happens a lot with PC games on user review sites, if a PC game launches with ANY hair of an issue or someone feels slighted over something stupid, they firebomb and rant and rave up a storm, it's embarrassing. You start to notice it a lot if you buy games from DD sales on Amazon and every damn PC game has like a two star rating or some shit :lol

I still think the best are like the iOS games like Where's My Water that charge a dollar for a really solid, well made puzzle game then when they want to make an expansion and charge .99 cents for it six months later or whatever, again, firebombed reviews, total meltdowns "FUCK YOU IM NOT MADE OF MONEY HOW DARE YOU TRY TO NICKEL AND DIME ME THIS SHOULD BE FREE BLAH BLAH BLAH"

There are just a lot of lunatics who play video games, occasionally there's a legitimate issue to rally behind but it's getting harder to read user reviews and pick out anything of merit when 90% of it is crazed nonsense with some dipshit using their moms credit card feeling slighted. I mean really, the game had a 30-45 minute delay on a midnight launch after a decades absence with every other PC gamer on the planet trying to log into it, get the fuck over it.

Ugh. Woke up at 3 am and played straight through to 7 before leaving for work. Managed to beat Act 1 and hit level 16 (monk) with my three compatriots. Solid selection of yellows in tow thanks to the
three bosses
, as well.

I'm now sitting at my desk fiending for more.

Ahh been playing 5 hours since the servers opened and I snuck in before they were crushed. Level 13 now, at the cap for the guest pass. And Im just running over and over refining the gear I have and leveling my Armorer. His max was 4 in the beta right?


In any case I need to get some rest.

Guys, I'm fucking crying right now... this whole game has been an emotional rollercoaster for me... end game stats inc.

I got in beat the skeleton king. Man I struggled beating him this time. During the open beta I thought he was super easy. This time I almost died several times.

They must have rebalanced him because I nearly died multiple times on him as well. He was always a breeze in the beta, but he puts up a good fight now.

Also, people are idiots, the launch was actually pretty smooth. It took about an hour for things to stabilize, but once they did most all the issues went away, the game is very playable right now.

I lol at the launch issues! I went so sleep last night at 10pm; woke up this morning at 5, started the game and got in on my second try ( I was getting a strange error 12 message about not having a key registered to my account), I just switched my region to AMERICA on the login screen and it worked!

I think his max was higher. You just got an achievement when you get him to 4.

I'm doing the same thing with my starter edition(thanks isny!). I am going to try put other classes too.

Yeah, really doesn't seem to work like that. I'm playing DH. For instance I can pick snare shot or penetrating shot, but not both(might have those names wrong). In fact when you open the window to choose a skill it closes immediately when you choose one of them so I don't see how you would pick multiple from each section or tree.

Anyone playing this with an 9400m netbook gfx? I will try this game with a guestpass as soon as I'm able to access my battle.net account (authenticator on an dead phone of mine) to see if my macbook will melt or not.

So sad too see that my CE got shipped to an adress where I don't live anymore.
