haha yoshi that is awesome. Also I find it so comical that people say 12 hours is short for diablo. This is NORMAL difficulty. There are 3 more difficulties.... the game isn't even a quarter done IF you only plan on playing 1 character to the end of the game once.

That PM is pretty dickish but it is certainly odd that this game could cause someone to start crying... I mean.. wow.

 

[oneils]

By SP do you mean solo run? if so then no i am playing through with a friend.

Did your friend get his game sorted out?

 

[Lombax]

quick question. If I were to buy a digital copy while I wait for UPS to deliver my CE can I upgrade the key later today?

if so does anyone know the process?

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

D2 was unplayable without tab map on. D3 is playable, but it's not as optimal. It would be nice if they added this at a later date...

Unlikely. Not being able to have the map overlay on all the time is intentional.

People get more emotional when they go without sleep

Oh come on... I cry at the ends of shows that I care about. I don't see how a game would prove to be too much different if you are emotionally invested.

Also those comments Eurogamer are the most putrid vile uninformed bullshit I have read in a long time. >.>

You're going to spend $60 extra to play the game a few hours early? Why? Donate the money to charity if you can spend it that goddamn willy-nilly.

Were you taking your time or did you rush through it?

SK lolz

A/V was fine. There were some hiccups in the stream (notably when

Spoiler

entering a TP

) but I'm not sure how much were issues on my end.

Also, you died?! :|

awesome shit ._.

 

[Raijin_Cain]

Ok, Yoshi didnt answer and my work is already suffering anyway

FOR THOSE PLAYING - ANY GOOD BARB TIPS?

Does playing with some skill has made you look differently at it (for better or worse)?

Thank you for keep feeding my hype.

 

[Entropia]

Played for like 20 minutes on my Witch Doctor before work this morning. It was pretty fun already! Can't wait to get home tonight and play it more.

 

[Darklord]

Probably answered but I just started, why can my monk hold weapons? What do they do if he just punches?

 

[UnblessedSoul]

I keep replaying the starter edition cause my copy hasn't come yet, Starting to get agitated

 

[SyNapSe]

waiting through work is brutal. I knew I shouldn't have played a bit this morning but just couldn't help it.

 

[Awesome Animals]

Approaching |OT2|...

 

[scy]

Probably answered but I just started, why can my monk hold weapons? What do they do if he just punches?

They still are used for all their damage calculations. I think Blizzard has said they're working on adding animations to the Monk attacks to show the weapons being used.

 

[Raijin_Cain]

Nope. I havent played this morning and work is still brutal. ._.

What's the benefit of that?

I don't even know what that is i did not look at the achievement list. I would say my play style is probably slower then most so I am hoping my first run on normal takes longer then 12.5 hours.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Same here. 50 minutes to go until i can drive my ass back home.

 

[LowParry]

Act 1. Act fucking 1. I still shake with excitement from all of that. Act 2 is just as good. Good lord. Laaaawd.

 

[Fugu]

So, I just finished Act I on hardcore, and before I take a nap I thought I'd share some impressions of what it's been like going into the game with one life completely blindfolded. Spoilers up until the beginning of Act II, you've been warned.

Spoiler

Had it not been for a barbarian unscrupulously being killed by one, I would not have known that the pods that the big trees shoot out do LOTS of damage. Truly terrifying.

However, nothing could prepare me for the paralysing fear that is the Butcher. "Okay, the floor's on fire. I have to move when it turns red. Okay, when he meat hooks you, you're going to get hurt really bad. Okay, don't stand near him if you like living." It's a large amount of time to be completely on edge, holy smokes.

I haven't died yet, and I feel pretty good about Act II.

Uh... you can do this if you'd like, but dude really? If you are already up and its early enough in the morning where you are you can call your local UPS or FedEX headquarters to hold it there so you can go pick it up yourself.

 

[SafeinSound]

Welp. I bought it. Now I'm really broke. This and Max Payne 3 should last me till I'm dead.

 

[injurai]

Anyone know how Kripp and Athene are doing? I know they are losing to that Korean guy.

 

[rCIZZLE]

Anybody figure a way to change text size? No way in game messages should require nose-in-screen on a standard 17 inch laptop.

 

[Grampasso]

12 hours? Really? Glad I didn't pre-order this.

You really grasped the essence of the game. Kudos.

Weapons determine DPS for all classes

I just want a progress update or something, I don't want to spoil myself with streams. Won't be playing for another 7 hours or so. >.<

Being forced to actually see the game :x

Video just ... ends. Did you crash and just died or something?

 

[Cirdan]

Didn't start until today due to the GW2 stress test last night. Just beat the skeleton king quickly now and went to add most of the euro gaffers on the list for starters. Might as well make most of the always online nature side.

 

[King Mystery]

How do I get back to town? I don't see any Scroll of Town Portal and my inventory is full!

[Mohonky]

So whats performance like? Blizzard games are usually not very resource hungry. Will an i7 920 + 6gb DDR3 and GTX570 get me max setting at 1080p?

Disconnect on my part, I guess. Thats why the video stopped ... And yeah, died there :[

 

[Snkfanatic]

Almost time to start stalking the UPS driver around here.

 

[Belgorim]

Holy shit, the CE is huge, just got mine home.

Act 2 Nightmare in the stream. For Athene.

Kripp is Act 1 Nightmare it looks like.

 

[MajorPain]

The thing is that the "Right price" will be 60$ for a LOOONNGGGG time. They have no reason to lower the price for a couple of years at least... SC2 is still full price and D2 is still 20$+ 20$ for the expac.

Isn't it $10 for D2 and $10 for the expansion direct from Blizzard's website?

 

[Onemic]

I should have just gotten this game retail. Got it online 5 days ago and I've had to redownload the damn thing 3 times to get it working. It finally finished today and is now installing :/

 

[zlatko]

I thought the work day wouldn't feel so bad having to play, but it dawns on me I only got like 1 minute if that of NEW content altogether, and I basically just rehashed the beta.

FML ; ;

 

[Zeliard]

C'mon now.

Yeahh Athene!!! Mah boy!!!

 

[CronosBlade]

Just left Frys in Austin, still 30 copies of the CE available.

 

[ultron87]

Damn you work day! *shakes fist*

Damn GAF. This will be the first game I bought on launch where I didn't even get to play it before OT2 started.

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

What's the benefit of that?

There's no "benefit" per se, but they want people looking at the game world, and not just a map overlay all the time. I don't necessarily agree or disagree, but I appreciate the sentiment making it that way.

My video card.


I'm playing using that cheapo card at a 1920x1200 res with everything maxed out. It's running as smooth as silk with no framerate drop. =)



edit: Seriously. How do I get back to town?

CPU is a big factor too, but D3 should not be all the resource intensive, and If it is medium and low don't look to bad either.
