So I just finished the game on normal. I was pretty hyped for it (I made the OT!) and aside from some relatively minor niggles (which every game has), I think I can safely Diablo III is one of my favorite games ever. Definitely Top 5.

I know I'll be playing this many years down the road, and I'm excited for PvP and expansions when they come.

Took me 20 hours, 24 minutes to complete on my Demon Hunter, exploring the every nook and cranny of most maps.

The combat and setup, especially going forward into higher difficulty levels is a real sight to behold. It all feels so great.

Gonna be a damn good year for games.

Dem 70k Impales. Good lord I can't wait for that.
 
While I was never one who cared about DRM, it's 6:30 EST and I've had 3 disconnects now (after waiting on maintenance to finish)

edit: lol tried to make a new toon and Kanuck or Canuck have "restricted or inappropriate words" in it

After getting in, try to immediately connect to general channel. See if that help. People said that helps with d/cs.
 
Good morning amazing D3 GAF :)
 
Damage won't help you if you get oneshotted all the time. I'm really amazed by this die'n'rezz mentality of the guys at inferno right now. Fkn go to hell and farm gear!
 
So on my Demon Hunter I think I learned how to cheese the game.

Double Chakram + Bat Familiar is insane fucking dps. Hatred Regen is so quick that I can spam it for a long time without having to even use my left click. I also set my 1 to be the gain 30% health of the damage you do for self sustain, 3 to be the sentry turret and 4 to be arrow volley. Templar follower tanks everything and I just mow AOE mow down everything in the way.

I can't give up Vault for anything. Way too convenient to have. Especially with a MS bonus, you can either plow through enemies by stunning them, or by having unlimited mobility and speed with double vault. Why can't Vault be with some real crappy skills instead, lol.

Vault ignores pathing aswell.

edit: And Smoke Screen breaks jail btw.

Morning sir!

Yeah that guy in the screenshot is streaming right now. His damage is ridiculous on that Demon Hunter, but he has to stay away from any and everything. The purple/yellow soldier packs only need to touch him twice and he is a corpse. Its incredible to watch though. He can kite like crazy.




Just the trash before the boss is wrecking these guys. They need to go back and farm. They are trying to chain rez it, but the soft enrage isnt making that easy. I mean, they could probably do it, but it would take two and a half hours with NO mistakes made lol.
 
This game and its d/cs are getting really, REALLY annoying - especially since you can't progress at fucking all.

I can see a team chain rezzing and kiting through inferno really quick. Then all the Diablo III forum regulars (on Blizz's D3 forum) will jump up and say "BLIZZARD LIED THIS GAME IS SO EASY ZOMG1111!!!!).

When in fact 95% of them will probably never finish inferno.
 
Btw, has anyone finished Act 2 of Inferno?

edit: Looks like that team linked to above was the first.

2edit: Wow. Inferno looks damn tough Kripps team is farming
Fields of Misery
and look to be having a little bit of trouble.

My bet is on months to years at best for an Inferno Hardcore clear. And you won't ever likely be on farm for that shit for HC.
 
Is Inferno able to be solo'd? I'm gonna attempt it with a team when I get there but I'm curious if it can be. Seems like NPC followers would go down pretty quickly.
 
Allright. Got my gear almost ready for Belial NM.

953 dps, 10300(!!!) life, 37% physical dmg red. Fkn beast mode tanky DH! ;D

Just watched them drop it.
 
I'm playing in a group and now in nightmare I kinda feel underpowered as a Witch Doctor. I must be doing something wrong. Still searching for a really solid build at this stage (I keep switching every 10 min).

So I came up with this build for 54+ levels, so late hell/inferno, no pets since I'm in a group.
Dire Bats + Mana Regen build

Spirit Walk into a group > Soul Harvest > get out while the SW is up > Grasp > Confuse (if up) > BBV (if up) > spam Dire Bats like crazy since the Vision Quest is up (it should be pretty much all the time I guess).
Should be ok.
 
I got a guest pass from a colleague and decided to play it last night.
Created a Monk because they looked quite cool in the very few D3 videos I saw.

Didn't like the game. Especially the part that the weapons I equip were only for show. He doesn't actually use the swords I duel-wielded.
Went to bed thinking I'm not going to get the game. The lack of controller support for this kind of game I don't understand either. For me it's a no-brainer that I would like to play it that way. Even if it meant not OMGWTFPWN-face in PvP.

Tried it earlier today with a Barbarian and the early skills acknowledge the different weapons that I have equipped.

So I bought it anyway. Lots of people I know play this game so even if it's not my favorite genre, the coop play makes it fun.
 
Curious if any monks have had luck soloing Act 4 NM or Act 1 Hell decently including killing of rares/champions? I'm 52, and dying a bit. I have 17k hp now, with ~2500 damage. Might be my build though.
 
I'm feeling mighty autistic this morning, so I've successfully sent out friend requests to North Americans to the first 250 people on that GAF battletags list. I'm hoping to discover if D3's friends list has a cap or not!
 
Just watched Method complete Act 2 (as I am stuck at work), and that was fun.

But what really annoyed me was the amount of people in chat proclaiming the game to be easy because of this. Apparently one group of hardcore players doing something directly impacts your own progression. Who'd have known?

Someone earlier said that there seems to be a cap of 50 or so.
 
Pro tip: tanking doesn't work in hell, acts above 3, with a two man group

Yeah people are deluded enough to think: Well, since they did it so fast there is no point in me doing it! ROFL! Its not worth my time 'cause its so easy!
 
Just reading Battle.net Technical forums makes me nauseous.

There are problems with shutdowns, restarts, BSOD, overheating, fans and so on on laptops.

I am playing on laptop without any problem or overheating.
Am dizzy thinking that I've missed the bullet by complete system preparation and rejuvenation for Diablo III.
Ugh. I will hug my laptop.
 
So, I'm in Act 1, and my goal was to find
the Chamber of Queen Aranea
. Oh & while you get there
there's a shit ton of spiders. FUCK THEM! I fucking hate spiders :/
. Other than that, I'm loving this game :D
 
So been playing for a few days now, and I am seriously loving it. Have a 26 Wizard and a 24 Witch Doctor. My Wizard has some shitty gear, but I am still impressed by how great the Witch Doctor is. Soul Harvest is absoutely insane. With 5 stacks it doubles my damage. I hope this spell continues to scale as I progress through the game. I've been focusing on my Wizard to begin with, but I am seriously considering changing to the WD. Aside from being a cool character, and absolutely great, among the people I can play with, there are no WDs.

Another thing I've got to mention, is the animations. Dear god there are so many fucking awesome animations. From Wizards with lasers, to Witch Doctors with the coolest grenades since the Holy Grenades in Worms, to the bladestorming mobs with the greatest death animation. This is definitely one of my favorite aspects of the game.

Anyway, gotta log off GAF. It's the 17th of May, Norways national day and I gotta go
play some more Diablo III
.
 
Finished the game on normal. This was pretty decent overall playing solo.

Found my first Legendary too in the area before the last boss. Of course a stupid 2h sword like most rares I got during my playthrough. I guess that means I really need to start the Barbarian already.....

If you go to any tech forum after a game launches they will always claim that the game screwed their computer somehow. Most of the time it is just mismanaged maintenance on the owner's part.
 
I'm game. Farming crafting materials anyway.

Allright. Have you on my calendar- will get in touch once I get in game.

Yeah, I think it is mostly problem of the one beiing affected, too.
The preparation I did was upgrading erry driver, defrag and clean disk, clean registry, system files, check ram errors, etc, etc,... and that is what people think will happen on it's own.
