I didn't test it, but I believe you can only do that with a full PSN account. My wife has one and can coop offline and online at the same time without any problem.
Diablo 2 was cliche but decently written.
Diablo 3 is even more cliche and is embarrassingly badly written. I have no idea how Blizzard could let this kind of crap out, especially given their history of curating their lore.
Also, the main enemy in Act 1 is a clown. A CLOWN.

I want to play team healer/buffer + Support Mage. I know Diablo III doesn't have a healer class per say. Is Monk the closest I'm going to get to healer/support?
I was hoping for more of a mage/healer/support hybrid. Any other mage class I can build that way?

It ramps up a ton on torment. I can cake walk on master but on torment I have to throw everything and the kitchen sink to kill elites/packs.
On a side note i am at my favorite part of the game where you are getting multiple upgrades a day. Everything including rares can be an upgrade. Also thanks to rares having cool effect like +skill damage I can junk based on arrows any more. So when I get back to town after bags full it is like x-mass. Excuse me for being little giddy my last 40 paragon levels on the console only got a handful of upgrades over 5 months.
You can build a crowd control and monster debuff wizard if you like. Healing for others is basically a monk only thing.
I think it is just being level 70 and gold. I don't remember picking up anything to upgrade him past 10. I guess could be tombs I had in my stash.

Diablo 2 was made by the now defunct Blizzard North, I don't think many of those people are there anymore.
Just got it done so she'll be ready to go tonight.
We already played together on PC for vanilla D3, but she hasn't played since 2 months after that release. I think she's in for a treat with all the changes.
This was the first thing I noticed. Even adding a serif font would help. Personally, Exocet is a difficult font for me to read, but it'd be fine in menus.

Can anyone recommend a good ps4 headset? Last night was first time using the original garbage. I'm willing to spend 50ish.

They are a more expensive, but the Gold headset seems to be the go to for the PS4.
A buddy of mine used these: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JK2DCU4/?tag=neogaf0e-20
Said the sound was good, but they crapped out after about 6 months of use, so just an FYI.
Plenty of lore and story involved, but as mentioned the delivery is on par with being a goofy saturday morning cartoon than what the events unfolding would actually dictate. Just expect damn near everyone yelling exposition at each other with their fists. Get into the spirit, and its mindless and provides the bare minimum justification needed to maintain engagement between plot points. It's easy to feel very embarrassed for yourself watching it all unfold though. Lots of horrible cackles and cliche hand-wringing dialogue from each chapter's villain.
Blizzard has handled this stuff better in the past, or maybe we were all the appropriate age back then to experience it...
Got into the game last night. Played a wizard until about level 8 but felt incredibly squishy, and basically had to kite enemies around until I could kill them. I ended up stopping for a few hours and then made a crusader and immediately had a much better time. I'm sure the Wizard gets a lot better later on, and i'll probably return to that character, but I just had a much better time with the Crusader. So excited to get home from work and play this game all night.
Tigerdirect has been doing a summer clearance this past week. The Gold's were $89.99 with a $50 rebate but they've been fluctuating in and out of stock HERE.
I've heard that Pulse Elites are being clearanced out at Walmarts for ~$60 but haven't seen them personally to confirm.
Plays surprisingly well on console, wondering if they going to keep the game up to date with the PC version? Would be sad if it becomes another TF2
Nevermind :patch support confirmed for ps4 and xbox one

I love Wizard, but the Crusader class is a straight up boss.

Crusader was probably my least favorite to play 1-20 but has a great combat flow and lots of options past 20. Currently 35 and really enjoying him.
id suggest waiting until youre a bit higher like brickwalker suggested
i felt the same as you at the early levels but now at 44 im having a blast
bro your nemesis came through and fucked me up
sorry to whoever gets a visit from him later
PSN or XBL?

"MY WIFE IS POSSESSED! HELP ME KILL HER. OH, NOW SHE IS DEAD! THIS IS SAD. WHERE IS THAT FOOL SERVANT OF MINE, I MUST SEE IF HE'S SLACKING OFF..."
Imagine all of that shouted at you, and that's pretty much verbatim of the level of story and character we're talking about here.

yeah i like throwing up a horror movie or something on a second screen while i play
Might just have to power through then with the crusader. I just hit 19 yesterday, I can certainly see the potential. I think I had an idea to be a 2h crusader and that just doesn't look too good in seeing how powerful their sword and board talents are, especially with heavenly strength.
This made me laugh...I didn't really notice it last night because I was too busy thinking about loot and talents....completely went over my head until I read it here.

There is a farmer who has the skeleton of his wife sitting in a rocking chair in Act 1 that has some amusing dialogue.
If you just want it for party chat, I recommend picking up a cheap 2.5mm female to 3.5mm male 3-ring jack adaptor. Then you can plug an Xbox 360 XBL headset right into your DualShock 4.

The only worthwhile dialogue in the game is from the Scoundrel.

First time playing D3 (I played D2 back in the day) and I'm super overwhelmed.
I can tell the menus were very carefully crafted, but it's really hard for me to get the hang of so far. (I was super stoned last night though, so for all I know it's all simple and intuitive today when I get home.)
I'm really liking the gameplay though. Playing as a DH. I like a lot of the little touches they've added, like when you pick up gear it will show the quick stats for them at the bottom left.
One thing I don't like though is that the fov seems really zoomed in, and my character feels like he's leveling waaaaaay too fast. I know there are paragon levels and what not but it's a little worrisome so far.

Oh boy, that feel when you get 3 legendaries in less than 10 minutes.
So I have a theory here. In a nutshell - Metzen is blizzard's very own George Lucas.
Back in the days of Starcraft/D2/WC2 Metzen was not as high up in the company as he is now. He had people to bounce ideas off of. People to tell him no, that plot idea is stupid, youre an idiot for coming up with it etc. and we got the fun stuff back then. But he continued to rise and rise in the company to the point theres no one around (willing) to tell him no about any of his ideas... and we get stuck with the shitty ass writing in Starcraft 2/D3/The latest wow expansions.
I think the low-level writing, such as the dialogue between the companions or even the small-quest writing like the above mentioned dead wife joke, is generally pretty fantastic. Its the high level stuff, the main plot and writing, that is so hilariously shitty. The gulf in quality means something weird is going on there at any rate.

this is infinitely more amusing with the male crusader-his quips during this moment are LOL material.
Yeah, that's definitely one of the stand out scenes that I always watch play out.
The addiction begins!

Diablo newbie here, can anyone tell me how to equip runes?
Can't seem to put them on my level 10 crusader.
are they level dependent?
I can put abilities anywhere, but when I'm on the rune screen I can't seem to choose them.

Skill runes? Yeah, you unlock them every few levels. I thought you could hover over the skill to see when they unlock.

Took a chance and downloaded the game overnight. In my little time with the game I can tell I'll enjoy it.
Currently a level 5 Witch Doctor chucking jars of spiders at enemies and sending forth a swarm of fiery bats. I picked up a few clubs and swords but I can't figure out how to swing them?
Ah well, back to hurling spiders!
