This might be a stupid question but is there anyway to see a skills stats in the game? Like on the blizzard website for example it says blahblah 200% weapon damage, etc...

The game just has descriptions of what they do and the cost for use...

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?

I didn't see my extras anywhere when I was creating one.

Aw yeah, gonna just stick with hardcore. Guess they didn't have any problems with it because everybody is too babies.

Vied for a tag related to cocks, so here it is.
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.)

Oh it does? I'm currently feeling the same way about Act I so I was hoping for more of a challenge. Skeleton king was a bit frantic but not hard by any means.

Did you turn on Advanced Tooltips? Read the OP.

Unlike most, I expected these issues.

I don't, however, think it's good form at all. Blizzard has launched an MMO in the past. They have the experience as to how to handle this sort of thing. This is incredibly sloppy of them.

They really have no excuse... but hardcore players will deal. But first time players probably well just quit out right. if it continues for a week or more. Shame really.

Yeah in your options check the "advanced tooltips".

Should on mouse-over with Control, I believe?

Edit: Or just the Tooltip option, that works too~!

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Aren't you in Nightmare?

If so, seriously, +5 EXP?! Haha.

Yeah, Cata was pretty smooth other than the first hour or so. Wonder what's wrong.

I didn't log into Cata till two weeks after it launched, but I remember that in Wrath the worlds servers were fine, but all instanced stuff went to shit.

I'm guessing the infrastructure for this stuff is different and they are trying to figure out how to best sort the server loads. Ultimately people need to relax this is just how things are when you have millions of people all trying to use your service at once. The character loss thing is unacceptable though.

Huh, having your weapons determine spell damage is a bit weird.

Playing lvl 9 Witch Doctor and I had the default Ceremonial Dagger for 2 hours. My posion darts were doing 2 points per hit and I thought I was kicking some serious as at that point. Until I decided to just upgrade the dagger despite never actually using it and then my poison darts are doing 9-10, basically bull dozing everything with darts and bats.

It's pretty cool, but weird. Can't help but think it's unintentional.

The male witch doctor is the raddest character of all the classes, but it seems like every time someone responds to him talking, they're talking to someone else.

jesus. in the time it took me to read 2 pages, you guys created 10.

I am part of the problem. Also, 4.5 hours away from my idling computer and serious marital crises.

I thought this game was suppose to have cutscenes other than the CG's? I haven't seen one. All I've seen is the text with the portrait of the character. Is that suppose to be a cutscene? I thought it was going to have ingame ones like SC II
 
Haha, no. If you went into any of the beta or hype threads and said something to the effect of "I expect server issues at launch" you got dogpiled.

Well then we are fucking geniuses, 'cause you had to be dumb not to see this shit coming. I can't wait until every game requires an internet connection so we can go through this every time a big game launches.

Yeah, that doesn't seem to scale all that well. I've got some +10 stuff in Act 3 of Normal, but it's getting less and less worth it. Now, rubies socketed in helms give % bonuses to experience, and I'm inclined to use one of those until I hit 60.

The other affix that struck me as kind of bizarre is the +max arcane power one. Come on - the point of having unique class items is that they can have class-specific affixes. This is just a wasted slot on a wand. Up until level 15 or so you're still going to see the occasional "+1 to max AP". And even going all the way up to +4 just isn't that big of a deal; I'd prefer almost any other affix.

Ah.

Random loot is random? The fun of randomness in gear is that sometimes you roll a big winner. Sometimes, you just... don't. (That one's still pretty good.)

I was more getting at that I remember Act 1 +EXP/kill mod being at +3 or +4; I figured Nightmare would be a bit higher than that. Though, I also think that the EXP scale from Normal -> Nightmare -> Hell -> Inferno isn't that big anyway so I guess +5 isn't awful.

It's strange but definitely a welcome change for me. It makes weapons the primary equipment for all the classes, as opposed to D2 where it didn't matter as much for the caster classes.

I've been having an annoying error while playing. It did nothing, but was repetitive and annoying.

And now the servers are down. Again.

There's bunch of ingame cutscenes, a couple of those paper style cutscenes with a voice over and a full CGI cutscene per act.

I wanted to play WoW but can't since Blizzard login server seems to be down. I hate this game already and I haven't even downloaded it yet.
