When did you try to run the beta? Beta servers closed down on the 1st with the game coming out next week.

Kinda makes me wonder, since the game is going to be online at all times (while having an active battle.net account)... how people who pirate it will be able to play. Unless someone's crafty enough to "unlock" the game to be able to play offline? I dunno, just hope that there won't be any "cheaters" and try to flood the AH with dupe items and gold and the such.

Diablo III- Wrath

A little anime treat from Blizzard.

I gotta say, Peter Chung's designs actually look pretty cool when there are no human faces involved.

Installed and ready to go. Who else is gonna be trying to hop on at midnight? I might be looking for some adventuring companions.

Back home and finally installing the game. The Limited Edition guide is pretty beefy and will give me some nice reading material while waiting on servers to pop up. Apparently they aren't doing it midnight each time zone and US will launch at 12 am PDT. Blah.

Anyone have any guest passes to spare? I'd like to check the game out, but after how much time I spent playing Diablo 2, I'm wary of buying the full game and getting sucked in for hours on end.

Playing a Demon Hunter? I heard it was really affecting them the most. I did it with my barb the moment he was officially in my group and had no problems.

Jessy, are you sure this is a good idea? We all know how WoW took you away from us for a couple years. ;____;

That'd be my next class. And yeah, it's limited to the Demon Hunter/Huntress build for the moment. I'm going in as a Monk first.

Already loving the fact that I have to sign in just to play by myself. I just want to play a little solo, but due to excellent design, I am unable to do so because of overloaded servers. Awesome. Maybe once the game lets me play, I will enjoy it. Next week.

This is basically my main gripe. Why there is no option for offline play is baffling.

I played a little today when one of those infamous "errors" just popped out of nowhere. At the very most, a "smooth" playtime will be next week when some players will get over the game.

Heh, probably follow that one dude who finished the game in 12 hours, "duct taping himself to a chair"[sic].

Does anyone have one of those starter thingies that they maybe want to give to a broke terrorist?

I'm amused to see people complaining about the lack of offline play, even though it was said shortly after D3 was announced that Blizzard was not allowing for any sort of offline or direct tcp/ip play like D2 had. This was coming guys, everyone should have expected it. :)

Surprisingly, anticipation of a dumb thing does not make it seem less dumb when it arrives.

Add me if you like.

It was pretty hilarious to read all the reviews left on amazon and metacritic giving 1s because of the no offline mode as well as servers being unstable at launch. It's a Blizzard game... when are launches smooth with them? heh.

Now the most recent "bitch" is that some kid in Asia beat the normal mode in 7 hours. So therefore the game is now "too easy" and a "waste of $60". lol.

I've been having fun with it so far. I personally can't wait until Blizzard implements Battletags in place of Real ID soon... which is something they should have done in the first place instead of real first and last names, but meh.

Just beat the Skeleton King and put a Rare in my stash chest. BIG MONEY HERE I COME!!! (lewl)

I wish to have the friends list.

I'll post my battletag soon; too preoccupied with smashing enemies with my fists.

I'm Radez#1604 if any of you really good friends want to add me.

So even though I'll probably be terrible at this the loot aspect and a number of recommendations from local friends (who I might also be able to play this shizzle with) I've gone and picked up Diablo III. Apparently I'm Omagnus#2402.

So you guys have figured out that a DPS Demon Hunter with Bola Shot+Volatile Explosives turns normal acts 3 and 4 is joke mode right? I'm starting Nightmare tonight and am interested to see if it is still going to be useful.

I just finished normal just now too. Way of the Hundred Fists spam hell yeah. Starting Nightmare right now after these credits.
