Australia is part of the American regional server. As is most of oceania.

Well, at least for time-zone purposes. People in Australia aren't too likely to be playing with people in North America unless it's a weird (not primetime) time for one of them.

I retire to bed undercore GAFfers.

I wake knowing 4 more sleeps.

 

[CadetMahoney]

I meant it would suck if wasd was the movement, keep it out of diablo.

Just curious, is moving backwards whilst attacking technically cheating in this system? Or is that already possible. Thinking of Demon Hunter.

 

[Ainaurdur]

That glass of wine. I approve. And thus need to make sure I remember to get a bottle for next week!

I can't wait to smack people in the face and grenade the hell out of them!

 

[Realyn]

We had that discussion in the beta thread *cough*.

Blizz stated they don't want wasd in the game. So in my opinion, using any other form of input than k/b would be cheating, yeah. Question is, does Blizz care?

Kind of wish the GAF BTag list had a timezone column.

Morning guys!
Why is everyone posting pictures of their setup? Especially you, Dresden?

Anyway, allready missed the facebook hype train, don't wanna miss the next big thing too.



I'm using the same multimedia keyboard/mouse from logitech for like 8-10 years. Even at stuff like Quake Live and TF2 I'm completly happy with my mouse. My main reason however why I gave up on a "gamimg mouse" are my ass stupid long hands.



I've tried some Steelseries and Razer stuff from friends, but they simply are too small to feel good to me.

Is that mouse really small or are your hands just huge?

This is my Razer Mamba next to my hand:

Anyone got any cool male demon hunter art? Need representation!

not possible with mouse controls. Being able to strafe like that would prob make the DH and wizard OP. It would be "cheating" but unless you're doing it in PvP i don't see the problem.

 

[Cipherr]

BEHOLD TEH PRONS

Hey man what brand/type desk is that? And is the shelf optional? Would you happen to know what the depth of the desk is in inches? Sort of in the market for a third desk to support multi monitors.

 

[Realyn]

It's my hands ._.

My mouse is ~14,5 centimeters long, how long is yours?

That sounded awful.

 

[forrest]

I've tried some Steelseries and Razer stuff from friends, but they simply are too small to feel good to me.

I would suggest you put your hands on a Steelseries Ikari if you haven't. It's a very large mouse.

Would this work for bigger hands or is it on the smaller size?

I find mine less confining than the keyboard in general as far as size goes. I'm using this one and not the Razer though.

if you want something different.. I love his/her art.

 

[zlatko]

Fuck knows I have to due to work the next day, but I imagine several times waking up in a cold sweat.

 

[mysocksarepink]

Sounds complicated. They need to implement that security setup Valve put in place a few years back where if you try to access your account from a new computer, it will email you a special code that must be entered in addition to the account password.

Of course, if your email account is compromised...well..you have bigger problems than your Blizzard account being hacked.

it's absolutely far from complicated

you hit a button

it gives you a number

you type in that number


edit: god this thread moves fast

success ...

That's sort of the point of the region column. Playing in North America (Central Time), I don't really care if I'm playing with people on the East Coast or West Coast - there's enough overlap there, since there's only 3 hours difference between the coasts. Europe is a similar situation, with more people going to be clustered in a few time zones. It's not really my call to make though whether to add a new column.

And my humble setup, ready for Diablo and yes, I am indeed a huge Hellboy fan lol.
Got these pretty nice Microsoft Lifechat headset this past week for 25 bucks, very nice to far and comfy along with a Microsoft Bluetrac mouse. For some reason this is my second Steelseries mouse pad and it's already curling at the sides. Pretty lousy for a mousepad that cost me 19 bucks.

 

[scorpscarx]

D3 and TL2, both so close yet so far away, what a tease.

 

[Junie12]

Just set up my Authenticator for Battle.net

No one's gonna hack my account now!

I'm Central too, but I think the play sessions will be long enough to accommodate all US players. Aren't you rolling DH Falcon? I'm looking for a solid 4-man that wants to do full clears and strategize comps/builds together.

Nah I prefer the authenticator. It ties any chance you have of being hacked to a physical object that you have on you anyway. Your smartphone. Your email can be hacked, your password can be keylogged if you aren't computer savvy, but there's nothing some pimple faced hacker can do about your personal mobile phone.

And you only have to put in the code 1 time per week or so, unless of course the game recognizes that you are logging in from a different IP than your last login, if you are, it instantly re-prompts for a new authenticator code.

Is it hand/mice pictures time?! lol

I'll get a good night's sleep Monday.

Tuesday night, however...

Holy shit guys we have almost hit 100, I ducked out to meet some friends but wow have you been busy.

So it's only once a week? Not bad I guess, it is inconvenient to put an authenticator code along with your email and password but heck as long as it's protecting me I'll deal~

WHY WASN"T HE HOLDING SHIFT AND JUST ONE CLIKED THE POTION WITH RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON!

He bought the same potion!

This weekend is all about D2...

 

[aristotle]

It should also be noted that Blizzard has said multiple times that their system has never once been hacked if you have an authenticator on your account. There really is no need to not have it.

 

[ProtoCents]

They should give everyone a free authenticator then. Considering monthly fees (WoW).

 

[forrest]

Sorry for crappy phone pic:




This is the chair, I couldn't really get a good photo myself:


U2711 monitor, Das Keyboard Ultimate, G500 mouse.

You guys have awesome setups.

Totally jealous of this monitor. I've been looking to replace my Dell 2100fp with one for some time now. By the time I get the extra money for one I might be able to get the U3011 instead!

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Yes, I plan to roll a DH first. I can't guarantee that's what I'll stick with in the long run though. I'm pretty high on Wizards and Barbs as well, and I'll have a Monk and WD eventually, but probably never "main" them.

The first run through normal I'm going to solo and soak up the story/atmosphere, but once I hit Nightmare, I'm game for playing with anyone almost anytime.

 

[scy]

The iPhone or Android app is free. Though, the keyfob is kind of cool I guess...

 

[Thoraxes]

If you own a mobile iOS device or Android device it is.

Also way back a couple years, they talked about potentially including them with a new expansion if you buy a boxed copy.

 

[ProtoCents]

The iPhone or Android app is free. Though, the keyfob is kind of cool I guess...

So it is. I did not know this.

 

[Cipherr]

Yep, I remember when they first launched them, I bought a physical one. You used to have to put it in all the damn time. It was annoying, but it made you hack proof so I dealt with it. But at some point they started only having you do it once a week. Its soooooo much better now.

So it is. I did not know this.

Yep. And they have one even for the old ass flip phones and stuff too. Seriously, Im talking those way back RAZR's and whatnot from a long time ago

 

[aristotle]

They should give everyone a free authenticator then. Considering monthly fees (WoW).

Like someone said already, there are free ones.

I had a free one myself until I caved and got the keyfob. It's much easier to use for me.

 

[MisterAnderson]

So assuming we do the pre-downloading of the client, is all we need from that point the CD-Key and live servers and we'd be good to go?

 

[injurai]

Anyone that uses Steam

I just created a public group called DiabloGAF. Go check it out and join. I'll post this every so often to get the word out. Falcon maybe you could even edit the OT with the information.

If you bought the game from blizzard, then the game is already attached to your account. All you should have to do is install and login.

It should also be noted that a Diablo-themed authenticator is supposed to go on sale @ the Blizzard store on Monday for US people.
