Watching him play makes me think he'll make it. That man has so much patience it's not even funny. If anything will kill him, it will be something stupid like browsing Wikipedia while helping others out with grinding Hardcore Hell (I've seen him do this).
Also, fun story: Kungen called a dude up on Skype earlier so he could join in. The guy was playing his level 50 something Hardcore Wizard when Kungen calls. Skype minimizes the game for the incoming call and the guy ends up dying.

Well, I'm having nothing but problems with mine. Whenever I shut down my system (which is almost nightly) there's a 9/10 chance that the mouse won't wake up and work. Rebooting is the only solution until it comes up and works.
When it works, I love it, but I'm very close to returning mine to Amazon and saying screw it. I opened a support ticket almost a week ago with Steelseries and haven't heard a peep. I suspect it's a driver/firmware problem, and from searching around on the Net, lots of others are seeing problems with this mouse as well.
I know there are others with zero problems, but wanted to say that this isn't always the case.

WTF is this shit? I blame Diablo. I don't want hackers fucking with my gmail
This happened to me last week. The first thing I thought was diablo hacks. I quickly got rid of the other email associated with my email. I'm guessing this is another way people are getting hacked.

The real schadenfreude will come in his stream chat after he dies to some bullshit mob configuration in act 2 of inferno.

Enlighten me, o wise one. Did fine through act 1 inferno, act 2 elites are the ones annoying me.
Please give me your wisdom.
Wow that is brutal
Na, not really. I think it was his alt. I think loosing that kind of progress is something people who are into Hardcore are prepared to deal with.

I check EVERYTHING. The only legendary I have found was in a pile of rocks. I can see both point of view though.
He's such a great guy really. I've seen him stop farming just to give people of his stream way points or help them out with a boss countless times.
Uh... that ship has already sailed
Oh nm I forgot they have multile WotBs in their group
Is this your first run through the game?

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?
It wouldn't work. A level 1 could never, ever pass nightmare.
That is a ton of dps, may we get a screen?
Well, I got myself a project. Gonna unlink my Diablo from my gmail, and then build my own mail server to host private domain emails.
The game is mostly mathematical based. Even if there was an option to play Nightmare mode from scratch, you would die in 2 seconds. You will be doing 20 damage with like 100 HP against regular enemies with over a thousand health and like over 200 hundred damage. You would die in 1 hit against everything and it would take you hours to whittle a random enemy down to death.
That's just not how this game is designed. Also most of the hardcore Diablo players have stopped talking about the game being easy, Inferno shut them up real good. Normal is a tutorial/Easy mode, Nightmare is Normal mode, Hell is Hard mode or mostly the REAL game and Inferno is... just insane and broken.
Yes.
That was another question I had. So everything carries over?
It's very obvious that the normal difficulty is just 'easy' mode. Anyone who knows anything about these kind of games will just blow through it. Should have had something a little more challenging for more experienced gamers.
Is there any unique content in the higher difficulties? Don't know how I feel about playing through the game twice just to get to the challenging bits.
When you make another character you have to start out on normal too eh?

People are currently raging, quitting the game, complaining on the forums and sending death threats to Blizzard because of the inferno difficulty. Normal is supposed to be this way. People are looking for challenges gets challenged later on, they know this as-well. This is why they breeze through normal, nightmare and hell in a matter of hours.
You don't play Diablo once. Difficulties are new game +
If you don't intend to replay through the game, then Diablo isn't really the series you want to look at.
how come there is normal mode...then i have to replay everything again, and some more cool stuff appears, then again - and stuff is the same but different again, then i can play it again and it will be very hard...... is it ..wrong.. to just make a game that spans levels 1-60 ? with the game gradually becoming fucking hard? or is it just better to make a 20 hour game, and have people replay it 10 times with 4 character classes and 4 difficulties.
i dont get it
i dont get it

Diablo isn't something you "get" until you actually start playing it.
You clearly haven't played it (enough).
This is how diablo is
The dungeons, enemy spawns and loot drops are all randomized. The game is new game+ so everything keeps carrying over. There are Events to be found and various hidden spots/Lore journals and achievements. The most important change is that Elite/Champion enemies gain "affixes" or power ups. On Normal they have only one of these power ups, on Nightmare they have 2, Hell 3 and Inferno 4. This is the true challenge of Diablo as you don't when these enemies are going to pop up, which type and what kind of affix combinations they will have. Of course you are unlocking more skills and runes as you progress and getting better items.
If you start a new character the only thing that stays the same is that your Artisans (Blacksmith/Jeweler) upgrades persist so once you upgrade them all your characters get to keep that upgrade. Probably the same for Stashes for as well... not 100% sure on that. You have to start on Normal of course.
Yoshichan
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?
Yes, even your stash (which eventually is your mule) carries over.
The inferno difficulty notwithstanding, THIS has more to do with my lack of desire to play than the difficulty currently does.
They could do what you say, but they didn't and people have liked it since 1996.
The incentive to replay the game is what kept D2 alive for 10 years.

I don't think you're really understanding the system
Normal, Nightmare, Hell, and Inferno aren't really difficulty modes in the traditional sense. Monster in Normal range from level 1 - 30, monsters in Nightmare range from 30 - 50, in Hell from 50 - 60, and in Inferno from 60 - 63. At the same time there are additional affixes on special enemies that make them exponentially more difficult per difficulty level, and on top of the regular leveling curve the base stats of enemies gets a boost each time you get to the next stage.
You carry your character through every mode as though it was a single play through. You can stop when you finish Normal but you'll only be around level 30. Since all the maps in the world outside the cities are randomized and all enemy placement is randomized it's never the same. Most people just escape out of cutscenes and dialogue the subsequent times - the story in Diablo's always been optional.

How does progress get saved?
Like if I kill Izual, does that saves my progress even if I switch to something else?

Lol. This should be fun to watch. Need to see what he did to his barb to survive all these modes.
OMG this is insane. This is intense and I'm just watching.

He's gonna take his sweet ass time and farm so much gear before he progresses into harder difficulties (in this case; hell and inferno) :3

:lol perfect
Your character (and items) is saved at every step I think, but your progress only up to your last checkpoint, so wait till you hit one if you want to leave.
Lol. Or just raid the AH. Meh guess I'll just have to go full vit to survive. Almost done with NM act 2 with my Wiz. Still can't get anywhere in act 1 with fembarb :/
So I just finished my first Inferno game (solo). I wasn't expecting to make it very far with my 6k DPS, but really only one champion pack really gave me fits on my way to kill the Skeleton King. Since the Auction House is currently shitting itself, I have two questions:
1) Are Inferno crafting materials worth anything? (Assuming Blizzard ever fixes commodities...) Up until now I've been vendoring everything instead of salvaging, but I'm not sure if I should continue with that in Inferno.
2) Ballpark figure on what these are worth?
