Why they gotta make the east coast people wait until 3AM? =/
9PM PST should be the standard.
I've been asking Blizzard that since The Burning Crusade launched.

Well I guess I'll be playing plants vs zombies at midnight then. Diablo is gonna have to wait until I wake up.

We can share unwanted loot!
No problem. I was taught how to share growing up. I like sharing.
Alright!
Darn, lucky! Enjoy it. Did you get the pre-order bonuses inside the case?

I'm probably going to get my Wizard max leveled before starting a new game. When I do, I'll most likely play a Crusader. How is the crusader class as far as offense? Are they mainly melee characters with support spells like the Monk?

What time is it?
Infernal Pauldrons code card in the case and there appears to be a "free legendary" for linking your PSN account to your Battle.net account.

Male voice is Gideon Emery, always going with that option. Though I'm a Balthier fanboy.
Nah, Crusaders get to enjoy both great defense as well as great offense. You can YouTube some endgame builds to get an idea of how good they can be with the right build.
Midrange characters, they have a mix of melee attacks (like a shield bash) and some ranged attacks (like a shield toss).
For their most popular current endgame builds being as close as you can to an enemy benefits them for various reasons, but, when stuff gets hot they can back away and still attack.
Barbarian IMO
But the game isn't hard to learn with any class. Just go with what appeals to you most.

What time is it?
Barbarian is a lot of fun. I played that at launch on PC and through the PS3 version.
Going Witch Doctor for a chance of pace. Stream is up: http://twitch.tv/bendersgame

4th question on the list.
I wish this would be put into the OP. This is like the 3rd time I answered this question. It's cool though. I'm glad to help out.
Yes to both.

very fun solo or with groups IMO. solo you have a companion you can kit-out as well so it's kinda fun for that and you are never alone-
yes drop in out was available in D3 years before destiny.

Because their servers would have had a complete meltdown probably. Back when it was released on PC @ 3AM EST, it was a giant mess even at that time in the morning. It was ridiculous.
But yeah honestly I don't think that would be a problem since it's multiple different platforms, no logins (the main culprit back then), etc. Just blizzard being blizzard I suppose.

Do people Voice chat in this game?

So then when playing as a Crusader. Do I have to use a Flail to get his best potential?
I really don't care about for that weapon type (The exception being something like Castlevania)
If preferable I'd rather use a Sword + Shield combo or once I get that first passive that lets me use a Two-handed Sword and Shield together.
I know it probably sounds boring, but the Sword and Board archetype is one of my favorite character roles.
In fact even way back in Diablo 2, I intentionally avoid using Paladin Scepters just to use a Sword and Shield even if the Scepter I found was somewhat better then what I had.

Out of Wizard and Witch-Doctor which is more noob-friendly? Those are the two classes my GF is interested in and she's not much of a gamer. I'll be going DH.
Best deal will be a purchase with a gamers club unlocked card if you have one. Otherwise only MSRP.

The PC version of Reaper of Souls without the original game is $40 (sometimes discounted for $30). Also RoS being an expansion anyways and requires the original D3 to work on PC so people would need to already own D3 to use RoS anyways, so most of the existing player base who bought D3 + RoS more than likely paid $60+ for it already.
While it be at lesser cost would have been nice. I don't foresee any reason for Blizzard to sell the console version of RoS then it's PC counterpart for the complete experience at lesser cost.

I've been playing a female crusader and never used a flail. I'm at the end of Act 2, I think.
But then again, I'm a Diablo newcomer so I might not be the best person to answer

Female. While the male Crusader actor, Gideon Emery, is an excellent VA (he's Balthier in FFXII, after all) his voice doesn't really fit the character that well IMO.

Trying to decide if I want this physically or if I should join the digital crowd.

I decided to go digital since this game has a lot of replayability
Wizard. I was a noob in this game and had a ton of fun with the Wizard. The Witch Doctor is a bit more complex (for this game).

That and remote play should be quite satisfying.
Since you are a DH I would have her do witch doctor with a pet build. Not really hard to play but the pets can tank for both of you.
If you're going for endgame, yeah. The vast majority of resource spender effecting legendaries in the game currently are tied to weapons for every class (there is only a few exceptions). There is a flail or shield (or sometimes both) for almost every major damage dealing crusader ability.
It's not too big of a deal though, sort of. If you're using a 1h flail you can transmog it into other 1h weapons (so you can get a sword). 2h is a little weird, for some reason you can't transmog a 2h flail into other weapons, but, I believe blizzard said they are going to try and fix this for 2.1.

Can't choose between this or Garden Warfare
Would Garden Warfare give several hundred possibly a thousand+ hours worth of gameplay to do everything. I know UEE will.
Also they are two very different games. In any case, I still think UEE is ultimately the better game despite the differences in genre.
Get Diablo.Can't choose between this or Garden Warfare
I'm leaning towards this for the fact that I can see GW going to PS+ eventually because of the MTs in it. That and I'm playing the PS3 demo and its fun as hell.

I got this for PC, but I am actually seriously considering pick this up for PS4 again.
Is anyone else thinking about double dipping who also owned the PC version here?

Yes. The way the game plays is fundamentally different, rolling adds a new dynamic, there is new stuff the PC version doesn't have(and no sign of getting), the ui is completely different. It feels very new, a fresh coat of paint for sure.
