Is there a limit on how many friends I can play with? So there is no way to play with other people who aren't on your friends list? I thought it would have a separate MMO mode where you could play with players from the rest of the world. Kind of like an MMORPG.

You can play with 3 other people (4 total in a server). You can play with anyone. Here's the procedure:

1: You create a game
2: You open the game to public or make it private to your friends
3: Enjoy slaying demons and collecting bad ass loot

I'm just really angry about it because it was my first HC death. It was on nightmare, I was unprepared and I did lots of mistake. I'll never forget what I did to my monitor that day ._.

Was it a reaction like this:

My first HC char was 100% clean, no twinking, no hacks, no nothing :3

I'm not sure I understand why anyone would play an HC character and then proceed to cheat. Self defeating isn't it?

 

[injurai]

Just the challenge to post more frequently so we can reach OT2 before the game launch. Hype on!

I'm slacking ever since I made that suggestion, be strong my minions!!!

Damn, I said I was going to sleep like 30 minutes ago... I'm doing it again Yoshi :/

 

[Yoshichan]

Also I just remembered this thread is probably gonna get community forum'd eventually.

Community GAF = Best GAF imo :3 It's where all the hardcore players are!

 

[G-Fex]

I want to buy this I really do.

I was god awful at Diablo 2 though, I didn't even get far into it.

Do it.

 

[Hazaro]

Post well thought out builds!

 

[Le-mo]

Alright, thanks for the fast respond guys. Think I might just pull the trigger and jump in. Happy looting, I guess.

Oh, if you only knew how silly some (and with some, I mean MOST) Diablo 2-players are ♥

Back then, I was nowhere near as crazy as I am today :3 But yeah, those videos are fairly accurate of my behavior when it happened!

You could always ask a friend to help you out.

There's no guessing here, this is the game you've been waiting for, whether you know it or not. It'll be an experience you'll never forget!

Do it.

The King of Games vs. Diablo 3 shall be broadcasted in the near future on twitch.tv

 

[Soule]

Anyone else having trouble connecting to the diablo reveal site? I wanna get the sigils I missed but I'm getting a 503 error when I try to connect.

I guess this is a timely reminder to people that missed it earlier that you can get sigils for each class for like another week or so.

My lvl 30 DH build for HC I posted earlier on.

Still trying to figure out something for Monk. Probably a crit-centric build.

Need to see more of these abilities in action before I can really decide

 

[injurai]

Just did the calculations and I have given Blizzard around $560. I have also given Valve about $700 when you add in the 30% cut that they get of each sale.

 

[perfect free]

Why am I sitting here refreshing this thread instead of going to sleep?

 

[Yoshichan]

Damn, I said I was going to sleep like 30 minutes ago... I'm doing it again Yoshi :/

If you're tired then you should go to bed!

See Hazaro, I can do it as-well !

 

[Gav47]

Anyone else bought a mouse for this game? My Deathadder was on the way out so I picked up a Logitech G700.

 

[Ainaurdur]

I encourage you to get it. You say you want to. You enjoyed what you played of D2, right? This is a chance to start fresh, learn new things and improve your skills! Most important thing is to have fun anyway.

Go for it.

I wanted to buy the D3 mouse but they were sold out on my local Best Buy

 

[Yoshichan]

$560? Hmm, let me calculate that for a second...

...

All right, I'm done! Based on my calculations, this means you're 560% more bad-ass in my book!

My NAOS is still going strong, though I may need to buy a back-up just in case...

My Monk for higher difficulties.

I'd probably sub Sanc for Dashing Strike until Inferno.

 

[Le-mo]

Last question, I see there's a link to download the game in the OP. How does it work? I download it now and pay for a CD-key on the release date?

 

[Yoshichan]

Screw monk builds! Give me a barb build that destroys monks instead! Once PvP arrives, I want that match up to be FRAAAAAYYYY.

I've ordered another logitech G9, I'm using one now but it's looking pretty haggard so I'm anticipating its death in the not too distant future. I won't have it until like next month though but since it's the same I don't really need to worry much.

Was tempted to get the fnatic sensei for the vain reason of it matching my fnatic 7h.

Enjoy dying and relying on health orbs homie.

Monks will have burst evasion of like 95%.

You download the game in the OP. Once you've patched the game, you need to buy the game. Grab the CD-key and that'll be it!

Make sure to register an account on Battle.net if you haven't done it already. You need a battletag to play the game, you might as-well do that before the game launches.

Fuck man, why do you keep playing dem god tier classes/races/characters.

-> no actual spoilers ->

I'll be stacking up DAT INCREASED HEALTH GLOBE RADIUS, boy!

So I still need to buy a physical copy of the game for the CD-key. There's no way to just get the CD-key online from Blizzard?

You can buy the game digitally, I think? The only "digital" way I'm aware of is the annual pass-thingy~

edit: nevermind, I just checked it out. You can buy the digital copy on Battle.net

 

[Hazaro]

Have little idea what I'm doing but seems this is what I'm going with.

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/witch-doctor#WSZdUT!WYb!aZaZZZ

Just browsing quick, it looks like mana regen / CD reduction is a good idea.

 

[Negator]

If you buy a digital copy, it'll either give you a code or tie a D3 account to your battle.net account.

 

[The Chef]

This thread is hilarious. I had no intention of getting this damn game. Never played the other ones...but this thread has me crazy hyped for it, and I dont even know wtf it even is.

 

[Arcteryx]

Go to your account on Battle.net, click on purchase D3, $59.99

This thread is hilarious. I had no intention of getting this damn game. Never played the other ones...but this thread has me crazy hyped hahaha.

Yea I'll be honest, I was going to wait a couple months before even considering picking it up...but yea, not gonna happen now. Pre-ordered and ready to go.

 

[goldensun]

Log in to battle.net and click this: https://us.battle.net/account/management/get-a-game.html?gameRegion=NA

Buy D3 with a credit/debit card.

 

[Soule]

Missing out dawg! You should definitely hit up someone for a guest pass or starter pack or whatever they're called when we get the games in our hands.

 

[Le-mo]

Ok done. Thanks guys!

 

[G-Fex]

I can't wait to hang out in this thread.

What picture is your avatar from? Fellow Witch Doctor.

You really made a great choice here, man! Good job ♥

My Monk for higher difficulties.

I'd probably sub Sanc for Dashing Strike until Inferno.

I assume Boon of Protection on Mantra? It's that or Circular Breathing, I suppose. Pretty similar build though. A little more offensive focused on mine but the on-Crit ones are also kind of there until I get a feel for my actual crit rate.

Edit: Actually, depending on how BoP (...) on MoH works, I'd probably go Time of Need's broad damage reduction instead.

Not entirely sold on slotting healing (I know, I know!) but the Spirit Generation buff on it just seems too damn good to not get it. I want to give Blinding Flash + Mantra of Evasion a try but it just doesn't seem worth it come Inferno, really.

Screw monk builds! Give me a barb build that destroys monks instead! Once PvP arrives, I want that match up to be FRAAAAAYYYY.

Oh you.

Ugh. So I'm really torn on if I want to jump right into hardcore. I mean, I know it's what I'll spend my time with eventually, but going in blind seems like a bit of a waste of time. I'm imagining playing D2 (post 1.10) through on HC, and it being my first time...I doubt I would have made it through Hell not knowing what was ahead.

 

[LowParry]

This is a build I have in mind at lvl 30 with the Wizard and the sword and board MH/OH set up.

Only thing I'm kinda iffy on is the Energy Twister. Figure it's something I can cast ahead of her and walk it's path while I'm still going in for melee attacks.
