Diablo III |OT2| Queues Rise. Servers Fall.

Just beat Act 1 and it was pretty amazing. The presentation and flow of the quests is really top notch. The dungeons are really awesome, too, and the boss fights are a bit more interesting than just clicking. Not a breaking new ground, really, but it's a nice change from D2. Act 2's town looks amazing!
I still really miss skill and stat allocation, but the game's still addicting.

I found 'Wirt's Original Leg' from a dead Shaman in the Den of the Fallen. I wonder if it will be used for something special like his leg in D2 for the Cow Level.
I love this game!

Just picked up the game.
Anyone reached Hell yet?
Curious about the difficulty.

I love this game, but its really bad juju to have such a rocky launch with a required multiplayer component. Blizzard is at the tippy top, we're paying hard earned bucks, they're going to make even more off the in game market. Over prepare blizzard, don't wait for shit to take a shit, then fix shit. I know its been said before, just my 2 cents though.

Wow the install time from the DVD is just absolutely absurd.
Holy shit
Just googlign around trying to figure out why my DL speed was such balls...
Found this suggestion
My speed went from 75KB/s to 2MB/S within 5 seconds of clicking ok after changing the settings.
Maybe this isn't that common of a problem, but this is pretty important for those of us affected!

It's launch day. Is it really that unbelievable?

To the best of my knowledge that's actually standard operating procedure for MMOs, but I could be wrong. I know its at least been that way with Blizzards stuff since WoW launched.
The WoW stuff is so granular in fact that each continent has its own server and then everything that would be considered instance is on a separate server. I think Arena stuff also have their own servers as well, but I maybe wrong about that.

Same here, was switching characters to update equipment...Speaking of which, I keep getting side-tracked when I get better gear for other characters. Gotta curb that soon.
This server stuff is frustrating but god damn I love the game and have been playing since 7AM

How long?
For a company like Blizzard I'd say it is a minor letdown. You would figure they would have the knowledge and servers to make sure something like this didn't happen after years of dealing with similar issues in WoW. Of course with WoW it has been getting better and better since Vanilla.
Hah, I remember back in vanilla we used to spam warnings in general chat if one of the continents crashed.

Same, that's really spoiled me from playing that game so much. I'm guessing an item makes portals? I can't figure out how to make them, I have no items that do.

This is the most unpleasant experience I've ever had with a game. I bought it and can't even play the single player through no fault of my own. What's worse is that this was obviously going to happen too.
Yea it is. Wrath of the Lich King launch night was pretty smooth, so was Cataclysm. Burning Crusade was terrible but they were just learning then. I'm guessing Starcraft 2 was smooth.
A lot faster than downloading it.
I think mine took around 10 minutes of the DVD this morning. I wasn't timing it though.

These nerds rose up to the challenge and carried the flame, because they knew winter is...err Diablo 3 was coming.
Yeah, Cata was pretty smooth other than the first hour or so. Wonder what's wrong.

I won't worry if it only happens today. It's not like I spent too much time on it, and I also wanna check the other classes (I'm playing as a Monk).
Oh well, let's see what happened tomorrow when I get back to the game
FUCK that I'm a monk if its gone I'm a wait a week or so before coming back.... Blizzard has no excuse for that... Not acceptable!

excuse my ignorance; where do you find this?
It's just on your bar after a certain part of the game. It gets pointed out to you so don't worry about missing it.

You get a town portal spell pretty early on that you can use whenever you want with no CD or anything. It was surprisingly generous of Blizzard.

I wrote a bit about this in the previous thread. The D3Prefs.txt configuration file located by default (applies to Windows 7) in C:\Users\/%username%\Documents\Diablo III becomes overwritten by the client regardless if you put it in a read-only mode. My file looks like this:
Whenever I edit something here, save the file in read-only mode and start up the client, the client reverts to default settings. I suppose this could be a problem only for me, from what I read on Blizzard's forums other people don't seem to have any problems with this.
In 800x600 32 bit, I get an FPS of between 19-34 (19 in most areas). I have only an integrated ATI Radeon HD 3000 Graphics chip installed and I really can't afford a new motherboard (I have another video card, but it's not compatible with my current motherboard), so whatever can be done to improve FPS I do, I don't care how the game looks. Anyone has any tips?
As for the game, I think it's great so far. With barbarian, The Skeleton King fight was nice, although rather easy. Rupture for Cleave was good to use, just had to jab away at those skeletons mostly and watch the boss take damage.
Oh, and CarbonatedFalcon, you might wanna mention the configuration file in the starting post, I assume it could become quite useful (until a full API is disclosed).

Yep. I had hoped that since I wasn't starting until noon I would have avoided the server issues. Nope. Sorry, you can't play the game you just gave us $60 for. Thanks though.
Speak up, I can't hear you. TRY ALL CAPS!!!

Whats a good site to see Diablo III class builds?
Click on the "Replies" count for the thread and you'll get the wall of shame.

Wings, no, but there's dyes besides the CE ones. I think the ones in the CE are unique to the CE, however.

So this game is addicting... 8 hours in, just got to Act II.
Loving it. The difficulty seemed to ramp up as I got to Act II (which was welcome as I felt a little too powerfull Act I.)

Getting an error right now that won't let me start the game. Anyone know if the website sigils and the beta FoS + sigil only trigger once you've actually started a game for the first time?
Or should they be there already?
