You think you have it rough....
I've got the white PS4 preordered, so while I'm getting the UEE on Tuesday, I won't be able to play it for 3 more weeks after that.

Guys, how does the multplayer work ? I can team up with randoms or strictly friend invites ?
Also, can you change your character's name later on ? (I accidentally validated before finishing inputing the name and was too lay to restart...)

Oh hell why not Streaming here via PS4: http://t.co/DAIo2UCpBj
The game has matchmaking too. Really easy to play with randoms.
Can't change your character's name I don't think.

Ok, well, too bad for the name, as for the matchmaking, is it unlocked from the start ?
Or do you have to reach a certain point in the game ? I'm around LvL11.
(Out of curiosity as I guess the servers are not yet avaible)

Yeah, this is why I need to stay away from OT's until the official release date. I get really jealous of the people with early copies.
Did you purchase from a specific retailer to be able to play Sunday?

Yes, you can do this.

Question for a friend, he has a review copy for his site and pod cast. He streamed some gameplay yesterday and now his PSN account is perma banned. He had no notification about an NDA not allowing him to do so, any one else with a review copy had the same problem or received any info regarding NDA?
according to the answer I got, yes.
sweet, so four players 1 copy with game sharing.

Definitely. Check out the PS3/360 demo if you're unsure.
Ok, I'm a bit confused and need some info from you Diablo players that have played the expansion.
I read today that there is no longer the normal, nightmare, hell, and inferno modes in this new edition that were originally in vanilla Diablo III. So once I beat the campaign the first time, how do I take on the more difficult mobs for the better drops on the second go around?

You simply bump up the difficulty before you jump into the game and go from there - all acts and quests will be available to you. In fact, you can even bump the difficulty up to Hard or Expert on your initial run through the game (I think Master and Torment require beating the game).
Coop is the only reason to play Diablo 3 in any manner.
Single player solo is horribly boring, and not having any loot to share / compete against makes the entire exercise pointless.
It's Normal, Hard, Expert, Master, Torment I-VI.
It sounds like a lot but it's not, really. The first time you play you'll probably be on Normal, but for subsequent characters where you may have gear to pass down to them, they can level on a higher difficulty. Master and the Torments are typically done as part of the end-game, as there are certain set piece legendaries you can only find in torment. As you go up the difficulty ladder, your ability to find rare items increases, along with your XP gain and gold find.

The right analog stick on console versions allows you to dodge-roll.
Best thing about moving to the console editions after playing the PC version for me.
Damn, so the mobs don't automatically scale to my level?
Dodge roll with the right stick.
I have 500 hours on the PC version but the number one reason why I'd rather play the console version is trading. I get trash legendaries on the PC version so I'd rather just trade or be gifted items I need.
Also it looks pretty fun with the controller.

So I went through the Q & A
At 35:30 http://youtu.be/QvygnSnkk9U It is stated that when you find a legendary there is a chance a "gift" box will drop alongside it which you can mail to a friend. When the player receives the gift the item will roll based on what class they are using. At 54:30 it is stated all trade restrictions from PC have been removed for the console, but the guy still says you have to mail it to your friend. Which could have a interesting twist on trading. Maybe this is Blizzards way of toning down the duping madness.
Concerning the drop rates being different on the consoles Reaper of Souls will obviously will be different than D3 Vanilla. There will no longer be Nephalem Valor, Paragon system will not soley tribute to Magic/Gold find, and only certain items will only be available on Torment difficulty. I have haven't seen any specific data on changes drop rate from D3 Vanilla to D3 UEE.
Much appreciated.

Thanks, maybe I'll get it when it's less expensive then XD
They do scale to your level, but eventually you'll find gear that allows you to one-shot everything in a difficulty - at that point it's time to move up to keep picking up XP at a decent rate and finding better gear.
It's hard to explain but you'll see it play out once you beat the campaign once.

Can the PS4 version be played offline like the last gen games?

Yes, but you might wanna connect first to grab the day one patch.

Anyone starting off on a Expert right away? Would this be alright with a fresh Crusader playthrough?
Apparently console difficulties are like PC difficulties now. At least that's what I'm gathering from the comments here.
The other info on that page should still be correct though.
Mmm. Legendary gifting. *licks lips*

I was hoping for an upgrade from PS3 > PS4 digital for like $20 or something
Oh well, I think it'll worth it
$48 at Best Buy if you have GCU. And got an email a bit ago that mine just shipped, yay.

Yeah, it'll totally be fine. You just have to dodge more and it will take longer to kill enemies.
Yes, you can just duo if you wish.

I was going to grab this on PS4, but decided to put off the PS4 purchase for another few months until there are more games on the system I really want. Most of the stuff I'm really looking forward to at this point is still coming out for the last round of consoles. So I'll be playing this on PS3. At least I won't have to worry about save file transfer. And I save $20!
So are you guys picking up your old characters or starting fresh? I've got a Level 60 Wizard I'm going to dust off. Looking forward to it.
