Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition |OT| Loot has never looked this good before!

- Start date
I have about 150 hours on the PC at release. Got it on PS3 and now I won't go back to PC version. It just plays better with a controller, I say this as a long time die hard PC guy.

Dont know where the hype came from all of a sudden with this game..lol
Same timezone in Montreal. This blows. At first glimpse when I bought it, I thought it was the time remaining for my download, then almost a hour later I went to see how my download was going..
I still don't get how they can't release games at midnight for all timezones.

They don't want West Coast people to play on a Monday.

Does anyone know if the pal release on xbox one is multi language (MULTI 5)?
English speaker living in Spain so not sure whether to buy locally or from a UK site.

Do what?
Mobs are different too, this is overlooked despite comparison and topics on the web showing how or even blizzard mentioning this.
The preference point is spot on and blizzard is milking both ends in a way that opens the game up to variety of consumers rather than locking them out as other devs in the industry do.

All games are day 1 digital on all next Gen consoles. Should be on the marketplace in 45 minutes.

Blizzard always launches their games at midnight PST. This is the first midnight PST launch game I've had to deal with on PS4 so far.

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?
Mission accomplished!

210 MB, you can start playing at about 24% install.
Sure, there's obviously minor differences but I was just speaking in a general fashion. Original vanilla D3 and PC games were widely different (difficulties, stats on items, no AH, etc.) those kind of differences are extremely minimal or non-existent this time. This is a very smart decision on their part since it will eventually allow them to release patches on the same day for the games (which is something they've said they want to accomplish at some point).
Basically you can't really say one is objectively better than the other, it's pretty much a control preference which even then is not an objective thing either, just preference.
Yus. Will be buying it instantly. :3

I am Spanish but have my ps4 set to English.
I purchased off the Spanish PSN store from the console and it downloaded two diablo 3's, one in spanish one in english.

this may sound stupid but is there a "map" button? or are you only restricted to the small minimap? i cant seem to remember if there is one

I know what you mean monster power vs the vanilla inferno system or even torments. Seeing what blizzard is trying to give console users more of the experience pc users are in to has me very happy they aren't watering it down. They have done a good job of tweaking certain classes and skills to be controller friendly where as doing nothing would make them a pain.

From what I've watched on V0mitG0d's Stream, it's a toggle, you can swap between a minimap, a fullscreen map to see everywhere in your current location, and map disabled.
If I recall this is exactly how it was in the original console release on the PS3 / 360 as well.

What time does the US store get updated on the Xbox One? Have some GameStop money waiting to get spent.

I just hope they went the extra mile for some things. As a barbarian I obviously worry about leapquake in the console version. How leap works on consoles will make the build utterly useless unless they change how leap behaves if you have the set. Could be a really game breaking situation given Barbs don't have any other T6 options until 2.1.
Haven't seen any console people mention it and I'm not getting the console version at launch so I won't be able to investigate myself. So I sit here eagerly waiting for impressions. Monk will face a similar issue with raiment (though it will not be as terrible as leap).

LOL im fucking stupid. Thanks dude.
So with the toggles, one is portal, one is map, one is cycle through recently found items, is that it or is there one more?

When I use the export feature from the PS3 menu, does it automatically transfer save data with all of my characters or do I have to do it individually for each one?

Like i started on Expert on my level 60 wizard beginning with Act V. Its challenging but fair - really solid and doesnt feel cheap.
If you are literally starting from scratch as a new DIABLO player it may be worthwhile to start on normal then up the difficulty as and when you get better.
Yeah I'm starting from scratch
so medium it is...not sure if serious....
Start on at least Hard. The game is way too easy to start.
how long would one playthrough on hard take?

In the case of Diablo 3 higher difficulties make enemies have more life and do more damage but you get more exp and gold in return.
The Console versions of RoS are based on the PC difficulty, in fact outside a few slight differences there is almost no difference between the current versions of RoS and the PC outside controls and some features.
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/game/guide/gameplay/game-difficulty#pc
Refer to the chart in the above link. At default you can only pick from Normal, Hard and, Expert. Beating the Story mode once will unlock Master, and reaching level 60 unlocks Torment.
You can change the difficulty at any time. So as the game gets "easier" you can ramp up the challenge to get average things out and get progressively better and better rewards.
There is almost no reason to play Normal considering it offers the least amount of rewards for effort. Soon enough you'll be clearing full groups of enemies and that added exp and gold will help you a great deal in the long run.

Well, you only played sparingly.
It was blatant. It was also incredibly simple to dupe items, so it kind of cheapened the loot in the first place since people would just drop dupes of ridiculous gear whenever they joined a new game. These weren't one-off situations either. It was far worse than Borderlands in my experience.
I get that some people like offline play -- they can play single player games then. Loot-based multiplayer games need to be online. That duping even exists (and it so goddamn easy) really cheapens the game for me. I'm still gonna play it because I enjoy running around with my buddies online, but man. As soon as Destiny launches I'll probably never touch D3 again.
No, they don't need to be online, better checks and balances need to be put in place especially when the hacks are so blatant.
The option to play offline should always exist, the only reason it was online only beforehand was to facilitate the real world auction house on the PC contingent. It's effects on the real world economy will ne talked about for eons.
ah ok there isn't even an easy mode lol. thanks for the clarification
