I'll ask again:

Where do I go in-game to get my Collectors Edition items?

I started one guy on a Starter account till my CE came, upgraded my acc. to my CE but there's no items in his inventory. What do?
Click to expand...

Try creating a new character and see if it shows up in his/her inventory. You'd then be able to throw it in your stash to transfer it to your old character. CE items are automatically in the inventory of CE characters.

Edit: Thread is too fast.

Make a new character, he'll have all three of the items (wings + dye x2), and then put the items in your stash so your first guy can get them. Takes like 90 seconds.

Oh shit, I didn't even realize there were in-game CE items. I did the same thing and also don't have any of that shit in my inventory.

Does anyone know?

EDIT: nvm, thanks Cels

We'll all forget about this if they fix it today...but if this lasts, the backlash for always-online drm will be great. I only play diablo online anyway, but this is crazy.
Click to expand...

Yeah, this is what I am most interested in watching coming out of this scenario. Obviously the server issues will be fixed...probably within a week, and probably a lot less. But people will remember the experience. Folks can shout all they want about this being multi-only, what matters is perception. This thread is evidence enough that a lot of people perceive a single player component in Diablo III, and they're very upset that they have no way to access it.

It's one thing when Ubi is doing shady DRM shit like this...that doesn't even end up on the radar for most. But this is Blizzard, and Diablo III, one of the biggest and most anticipated games ever. They may have won the fight to get this DRM into this one game but it will be detrimental to Activision's overall effort to push it with future products.

My .02...I really have no emotional investment in it; I'm disappointed I can't play, but I knew what I was getting into. It'll just be interesting to watch the fallout.

The worst part is you can't even play solo. What horrible foresight Blizzard has. Didn't they learn anything from WoW's day1 release?? This time they knew how many pre-orders they had so they should have anticipated this!

Dealing with a lot of pissed off people for a day or two is cheaper than building sufficient day-one infrastructure.

Has anyone gotten their sigils from the mark of valor stuff? Couldn't find em when I was messing around with my banner.
Click to expand...

No. I wonder if that stuff will only go live on the 18th or later when that becomes unavailable. I'd rather it were working now, just so I can confirm that I have the sigils though. Gonna redo them all anyway just in case. We'll probably get more info later.
 
Lets use this downtime to hear some quick opinions. What do people think of the class they chose? Having fun with it? Second thoughts? Enjoying the game so far?
 
I wandered down to the local Best Buy and Gamestop an hour ago thinking I might pick this up. Sold out at both places. Guess after reading this thread it may not be such a bad thing to pick this up in a few days...
 
Xena said:
Ugh, just got off work to play my game... and now this. This is ridiculous. They better fix this, because I didn't pay $60 to not to play a game.
Click to expand...

Jesus christ you and everbody in this damn thread is so impatient.

What did you expect it's the most pre-ordered PC game in history. And you paid $60 to play the game for it's entire lifetime, this is just 1 day. Besides it'll be back up in an hour nobody is gonna die in the meantime.

I can rest easy now, played for an hour of D3 and now I can die happy.

No seriously pretty good so far but I'm regretting Barb now, plain jane mofo. Might go Monk of Witch Doctor.
Click to expand...

Yeah Barb is classically click on stuff ---> watch it explode, pretty much the whole time. :p

Witch Doctor all the way!

It's as if you know me personally!

Haha, I'm in a similar situation. Got done with work an hour ago and haven't been able to play either, though in my case it's because it hasn't been delivered yet! Not that it would have really mattered if it had. :<

Create a temporary alt, put the items in your stash, delete the alt, log into your main and get them from stash.

Haha, quadruple-thanks!
 
So do we have info now on how grouping with varying level people impacts stuff yet? I am 7 or 8 now and wondering if I can co-op with my friends (who will be rolling new chars when server comes up).

Yeah, I am loving DH too, barely have anything skill-wise. Can't want for more goodies to open up.
 
As someone who played WoW from Vanilla to WotLK, I've got my Waiting for Server Maintenance maxed out. Time to dust off the Server Maintenance emergency pack.

Wish I still had a guest pass left so I could give it to you so you could play. Gave all mine away to other already though.

That hour of game time was nice :)

hahah yeah. I managed to fit a skeleton king run in there. I almost town portaled after the SK died (force of habit) but noticed at the last second that there was a doorway open! It took me to the next part of the act :D
 
Riggs said:
What's the point of making the sigil's on D3's site then prior to launch? Still haven't figured out how to get mine in game either.
Click to expand...

You didn't make anything. You made something for a banner contest (all this information was available on the website)

All you were doing was making a banner for the contest, which then makes you ELIGIBLE for the sigil to appear in your game. From there, you make a banner with the sigil you unlocked.

Now, I don't know why it's not showing up in people's games yet, but you didn't make a banner. Just wanted to clear that up.
 
Are your characters tied to the separate servers?

Thought I was logged into EU servers, in fact I checked I was. However now when I log in my character has disappeared and the US servers are down, leading me to believe he is somehow on there. Well that was a good waste of an evening I guess.
 
So your character is tied to a specific server right ? Why don't u just Change servers for an hour and work on your new
Character?

WHat a good day to die

Minus maintenance.

And damn all the people typing spoilers unintentionally about the final boss.
Click to expand...
Are you honestly surprised at the final boss based on the game you're playing? I've mentioned this to tons of other forums and individuals and neogaf is the sole place that has had complaints.

The other, pre-last boss bosses are more of a spoiler than the final one. Calm the fuck down.

So how the hell do I get my created banner sigil in the game?
Click to expand...

Blizzard said:
We're keeping records of all the Battle.net accounts which have claimed each sigil. Within the first couple of weeks of Diablo III's release on May 15, we'll be processing all of these accounts and flagging them to unlock the appropriate sigils. The bonus sigils will automatically appear in-game in the banner customization screen in-game once awarded.

Noob question:

I have put the 'rolling thunder' rune (155% damage shockwave) on my 'hammer of the ancients' skill (200% weapon damage); does it replace the hammer's score or are both powers added?

My local BestBuy in small town Utah had probably 200+ copies and the guy said they were selling them off the shelves as soon as they put them out.

I saw one guy walking out of the store with a CE in his grasp, he was hugging it like a child and his girlfriend was patting him on the back.

True story..

also some random guy had the game and asked me if this was the new one???

people don't even know why.. they just know they need it.

Couldn't say as I haven't gotten past the beta content yet. The live game seems to be running possibly better than the beta ever did (besides server outages) on Windows at least.

Mac still seems to be a clusterfuck, though I have read that it may be an issue with certain MBP models, for whatever reason.

Ahh ok, did not know any of that. Don't even care about my banner really just want to play the damn game =/
 
The game is magnificent. After wrestling with errors on login last night for a good hour, my group of 4 finally got in and it's ridiculous amounts of fun, loot, explosions and visual effects. My life is ruined, but my bank account will thank me, as I wont play another game for a good while.

I dunno, Xbox Live seems to hold up pretty well. During CoD launch I don't remember it going down. Steam also hit a peak of 5 million concurrent users some time ago and didn't skip a beat. Not to say either service hasn't had issues, but generally any outages are fixed very quickly.

It's also not like this is Blizzard's first online game, hell they run an MMO. I'm sticking with incompetence in this case.

The issues here remind me of when Minecraft started getting popular, login servers were constantly buckling under load. But the difference was Mojang is a small studio and they didn't have experience scaling to a massive amount of users, so completely understandable. Blizzard on the other hand...
Click to expand...

That's just it Xbox Live does go to shit till the next day when a new CoD launches and pop into a Steam thread and there will be tons of people complaining about how Steam isn't loading store pages and their games won't download during the bi-annual sale.

God I feel like such a Blizzard shill. I need to complain about something. Oh I know the games textures are too low res.

EU servers are apparently having issues with chars not showing up, based on Bashiok tweets.
 
You have got to be shitting me. What the fuck was the point of putting the servers back up for that 30 minutes just to turn them off again for an hour? They're fucking with us at this point.
