From what I've gathered (I haven't actually played any version of the game yet...);
Demon Hunter> Witch Doctor> Crusader> Barbarian> Wizard> Monk
Edit: Er, might have DH and WD switched, not sure. Either way, you can't really go wrong with any of them.

There is no "best class" or "noob friendly" class. You can't go wrong with any of them. Best thing to do is to try them all and decide which one suits your play style best.
Preload is best load.

Preloading. First time!
Checking the Info menu on the game, it seems its only downloading 16 GB total. yet the size is 29GB.
EDIT: Nvm just read the DF article on the matter. seems 16 GB checks out.

From the PC side of things from 2.06 and 2.1
DH has the most dps but requires their full 6 part set and very rare gloves but this puts them top tier.
WD the easiest class to get to higher torments in my opinion using just yellow items and the mask of jerem Torment 2-4 is doable, once get get geared up Torment 6 is quite easy to farm.
Crusaders Mixed ranged/melee very gear dependent but good mid tier class few Torment 6 builds
Wizards in 2.06 are bottom tier Torment 6 is doable but it requires a lot of gear ,but in 2.1 they are toptier because of firebird set, so they are on for the future
Barbarians 2.06 top tier with leap/earthquake build and Furious Charge set build but in 2.1 they become low mid tier either way Torment 6 is on farm
Monks 2.06 low bottom tier Torment 6 is a struggle but in 2.1 they are still bottom tier but they get a Torment 6 build with Monkey kings set.
I don't understand this preloading deal. I had checked off to download automatically when it was available and left it in standby mode. Just turned it on and got the pop ups saying its been added to my downloads which I checked and they are just starting to download. I thought if you left it on standby it would have downloaded them automatically?

It upsets me that my beloved monk now seems to be bottom tier.
This really isn't true, ignoring shatter monk for a second (because of how hard it is to get all the items) raiment does not struggle with Torment 6 at all. It's annoying to play but the damage is extremely good, you one shot every non-bulky white mob as long as you crit and elite packs melt pretty fast as well. If you can get your hands on a harrington it makes it even more jokesy, your strikes will crit for around 300 mil.
People really need to lay off the ranking stuff, the only thing anyone really needs to know is that you can take whatever class you want to T6 once you get the gear for it. No one "struggles" with it in the best gear.
I don't think EU will have preloading for this game at all.

Unless the EU PS Store uses different adverts then the US Store.
This what I see when I browse it

Anyone with a ps4 review code working yet?

Nothing like that on the EU store.
Cool. Would it be normal to roll one class for main game and then start the expansion as crusader?
Sorta want to try two classes without going through the main game twice.
You don't have PS+?
I read the updates in this thread, turned on my PS4 a few minutes ago, and the download was already done.

It's not a separate episode but rather expansion to the main game. Much like how Lord of Destruction was for D2, it's just makes main story have 5 acts instead of 4. After completing Act 4 you immediately go into Act 5. Reaper of Souls isn't a standalone add-on.
Like with some stuff, there's "ymmv" (your mileage may vary) kind of thing.
Mine has every option checked and nothing auto-downloads. Have Plus since day one and Vita and PS3 has no problems auto-turning on and downloading stuff (well on Vita you have to manually turn it on anyway
).For this and nearly every other PS4 "auto-download" I had to wake up the unit from standby to start the download.
Who knows if there's something else missing, maybe it needs to be on standby for 24 hours ...while I put it on standby only when something's coming like a game or an update.

My pre-load is done (the initial part, background download, and update file applied)...just waiting on Tuesday

UK store doesn't say anything about pre-loading. What a joke.
US store for life.
Traitor!
Even though people say monk is weak(its not you just actually have to pay attention to the game), i had a blast playing it on PC.
I thought Crusader had a slow start and didn't start getting interesting till way later in its levels.
You get whatever pre-order bonuses that come with the game.

I just canceled my Amazon preorder-- going to preload off the store once I get home. So, is torment 6 end game? I've only played the vanilla game on my Mac a long time ago so I'm sure this will be an entirely new experience.

Not pre loading but just got my shipping notice.

Can confirm, I've never seen those preload ads ever on the EU store.

So there's another patch coming right? The one to fix the frame rate? The 1.01 version notes don't mention anything about that

Nice saw the thread and logged in to see it installed and waiting for 2AM Tuesday morning. This should help pass the time till Destiny easily.

Same here. I got burnt out after 150 hours and no good loot. AH and RMAH were still up at that time; I ended up buying my Sorceress gear off the AH since I never got anything good to drop. That, and the shitty story are why I swore off Diablo 3, but reading this thread is making the PS4 version really tempting. Loot 2.0 and the expansion seem like a lot of fun, but with Destiny coming next month, I don't have a strong reason to buy this.
I used a Crit Mass/Wicked Wind build in Vanilla. Is this build, or a variant of it viable nowadays? It was fun being a better tank than most other classes.

Yep! I'll be switching between this and Destiny throughout the rest of the year, with a little bit of Shadow of Mordor and Dragon Age Inquisition mixed in. Why can't I hold all this loot?

I'd expect another patch on Tuesday or shortly after...they said they were trying to get it up for Day 1
Like had been said - Act V isn't standalone so you would need to play through it with the same character that went through act I-IV.
That being said when you beat the campaign with one character you'll unlock adventure mode (and by extension rifts) for all your characters which is not only far more enjoyable than the campaign, but faster leveling too. Just beat the game with one class and try out the next one once you have adventure mode unlocked.
Critical Mass is gone. Totally gone.
My first experiment is going to see if having a Wizard using the Paralysis passive and means to maximize lightning attacks (such as with a Thunderfury weapon and Storm Chaser on WW) will give sufficient lockdown. If it doesn't, I'll be on the search for what does.
