Woah, just read the OP. Does this game have co-op from the get-go? And is everything co-op-able? And can we also play with randoms?
 
Well I got to level 21-22 before the servers gave out...

Good run, haven't played a game that long straight in years and years.

This game definitley made me a Diablo fan.
 
They take the servers down for an hour? AN HOUR? For a SINGLE PLAYER game? I dont get this at all. Its shit really.

it's not a single player game. It's a multiplayer game where you're playing solo. That should help clear up some of your confusion.
 
I am seriously shocked. The 3 hour downtime was bad enough, but they bring the servers back up for 30 minutes just to take them down for another hour of downtime?

What the FUCK Blizzard?

All in all I've been able to play for like 2 hours today, and I've been sitting here the whole day?

WOW
 
What the fuck man ...

Seriously losing my patience.

Come on now, I know it's a single player game and I'm not even remotely a Blizz defender; but as with nearly any game nowadays that requires a server authentication, did you really think everything would be rock stable on day one?
 
Such an awesome game so far. Played a WD solo and Barb with a friend and both are so much fun to play.

Too bad about server issues, it's ridiculous.
 
Just played ~30 mins or so on my lunch break. Demon Hunter's Rapid Fire skill brought a smile to my face :D Just wish the hits provided a little more feedback as to if they were connecting or not.


Turn on damage numbers from the options menu.
 
Yeah the server issue is really disappointing especially since you cannot play single player without the Battle.net connection.
 
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.
 
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.

Graphics are nice, first time I seen them (was on media blackout) I was like whoa. Then after playing a while....needs more D2 grit. Oh well.

Yeah, I've tried to withhold judgement on the whole "always on" LAN connection requirement, but they're off to a really shitty start.
 
Just got off of work and pulled up to see the most awesome cardboard box ever sitting at my front door. If the servers are coming back up at 5:30, that gives me just enough time to do some plyometrics. PERFECT.

10 years to prepare ....

This launch has been horrible.

Of course. That's the point of Diablo.
 
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?
 
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.
 
Might just create a character on the Asian servers if this is going to be common practice for a while. Give me a chance to try out WD a bit.
 
wow I logged in like 1.5 hours ago first try, didn't know people were having trouble. I barely managed to kill SK and turn in my quest before the servers went down

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

Edit: I wish there was a way they would just put them on your pre-existing character, but I suppose this will do. Only takes a minute, besides they shouldnt be doing shit right now but working on those servers..... Yes even the programmers :D Human sized hamster wheels or something.
 
Personally, as much as I'd love to complain about the always online bit, I've been logging in to a Blizzard server to have a mostly single player experience for 7 years now without it turning me off, so I'd feel silly letting it bother me now.

Bawwwwwww twenty minutes of gaming after work and the servers go down. Oh well. Guess I will go grab a shower and clean the apartment a bit.

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!
 
The particularly rough thing about this downtime is people on the East Coast are just getting off work. I can imagine many arriving home around now or quite soon and being pissed that they can't play the game they've been looking forward to all day.
It's as if you know me personally!
 
This may be a stupid question but I started playing my witch doctor on a guest pass and I dont know how to melee.

Its not been a problem and Im sure it will become even less of one if I keep going but my two primary attacks are mouse one a two. I just want to be able to jab critters if they get too close.
