After playing it some more, totally not feeling it. You cant even assign your own stat points? Wut? That was like the whole point of Diablo II, finding items and creating different character builds. The game's incredibly dumbed down. No "lobbies" as well, just click and it throws you into a random game thats on the quest you're on. Lame/Boring.

It is just the Beta

I don't know how I feel about the leveling system. It seems that it opens itself to some customization of your character. I don't know how it will work versus the traditional tree skill development. I think the point of the D3 method is to make early skills more viable end game and to allow for customization but I'm skeptical that certain "builds" won't be defaulted to for certain areas/difficulties and PVP down the line.

Well, I was going to get it this at launch, but after playing the beta, I'm holding off.
Game isn't as good as I was hoping it would be.
(that'll teach Blizzard to do open betas! lol)

Just paid off my pre-order and bought a new PC for this. Gonna be so awesome.

LOL @ people who are not gonna get it because they didn't like the beta. Newsflash: most betas suck ass compared to the final product.

I played the beta too and this game blows a railroad track of dick!

And yes most betas are not finished product, but this beta is almost finished product so its not like they are gonna change the design or add a skill system like in diablo 2.

This game is like a free 2 play Nexon game skill wise.

Thats cool. One less moron I have to deal with online.

Now u make me want to buy it just to search for u on there.

Think I'm going for Torchlight 2, not feeling this especially with the always online part. I understand what Seph is saying about the beta, but the mechanics are pretty much locked down for launch, they won't change too much between now and Tuesday.

Bottle of lube on the dresser behind the guy on the right.

8 more hours. I feel like a tool, but damn, I been needin' my diablo fix for like a decade.

Only thing that sucks is that the video card I ordered for my new PC is the only part that isn't here yet. Gotta play on low-medium settings for a day or two >_<

Apparently people in Australia can't get the disc version of the game if it was pre-ordered at GAME stores since a bunch of them filed for bankruptcy and are refusing to either offer a refund or sell the copies they have in stores.

Arn't they able to get sued for that?

Diablo EU servers fucked, no one can log in due to massive amount of people attempting logon.

Asia had an issue as well.

Good luck America :p Then again, no fuckin doubt you lot will get in no problem.

Nah, Blizzard already warned this would happen.

US will be fucked too.

Apparently not since some have tried but the courts have said GAME isn't accountable for providing refunds because I think its a Chapter 7 (full shutdown) and not a Chapter 11 (regular bankruptcy) like the UK branch was facing.

I can't play the first day because I have to go out of town. I'm actually kind of happy because I knew that there would be server issues right off the bat.

Wonder how the global merger will go when the last servers come online at midnight PST

5 more minutes until servers go live. Gonna wet my pants.

My brother has been playing this non-stop since he got the midnight release, makes me think about getting on the weekend.

Ur brother must weigh like 500 pound :lol:

Besides login errors and issues, a patch is on its way to fix two bugs with one of them causing the game to crash.

http://www.giantbomb.com/news/here-a...-out-for/4148/

I just equipped a shield on my templar and absolutely nothing happened. I think that bug is being blown WAY out of proportion by trolls. Should have seen the bnet forums last night. The same people claiming they could not even get in to start a game due to error 37 were reporting this error breaking their game.

Error 3006 is nothing more than a connection timeout. If you get it and it persists, just reset your modem/router and reboot your PC. Works perfectly fine after that.

My game was delivered at 630 pm, and I got to play for five minutes. I guess I've already played the first act anyway...but I wish I didn't have plans tonight. Last day of work is tomorrow though.

Still having issues getting the game to work. I'm not all too angry. After the SWTOR launch, this is pretty tame.

Man, when the hell am I ever gonna find my first unique item. Or ring or amulet. The anticipation is killing me.

Anybody else have the MSVCR90.dll error when trying to start the game out of the launcher? This is getting tedious. Can't seem to find a clear answer.

http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findby...sing-error.htm

I get that stupid DLL going missing all the time.

Next stop is the hospital to get a foot removed.

Ahahahahahahahaa.

lol dat was awesome

(Girl is smoking hot :drool: )

Altho D3 is a lot worse

This game looks fun, but I don't want a game that forces me to be online all the time. My wireless connection will be crap for a while.

Think they might cave in to the pressure with the login issues and release a patch to make single-player offline?

Probably not. But that would make me a buyer.

Game seems to be a lot harder than D2 on the higher difficulties. I'm on hell right now and I'm wondering just how rough the new Inferno difficulty is gonna be.

I do have one huge complaint though. Unique/Legendary items do not drop enough. It is retarded. I have not seen a single one drop yet.

You can always buy one in the auction house.

Wait, I see a connection here...

Spent more time with the trial edition (Got a code from a nice guy on another forum) and I think I'm gonna end up buying it tomorrow. I also found a cool mod for it that seems okay with blizzard that makes the art style more...diablo-ish.

Blizzard made 2 announcements recently with the game breaking the all-time Day 1 sales record for a PC game at around 3.5 million copies and part of the reason for the servers being bombarded.

The other is the recent news of account hacking and Battle.net itself being attacked by saying the service itself hasn't been attacked nor has anyone's account been hacked in any new ways. They did say so far it seems to be mainly phishing attacks have been the cause for some accounts to become compromised.

After further playing, I have def changed my opinion on some fronts. I enjoy the game alot, but the AH is seriously broken and the Inferno difficulty end game is shit.

It's like, hey we have this difficulty you can not beat unless you have epic gear....but you aren't going to be able to get this epic gear unless you buy it on the AH from the few groups of people who can actually manage to farm inferno for the items.

What's the point of Inferno if you reach max level before you get there and are instantly destroyed in act 1, where you will not find items good enough to get you any further? Oh I know, it forces people into the AH (and eventually the RMAH) where blizz will take a 15% cut of profits.

The game is awesome through hell difficulty though.

So I made the mistake of trying the game at a friend's house over the week-end. I was hooked in half an hour. I went to the Future Shop right away, bought the game, and installed it on my crappy laptop with a crappy internet connection.

I can only play in the kitchen because the Wi-Fi signal is only strong enough there, and I had to put every setting to low (and even turn off shadows and clutters and stuff like that) to get the game to run smoothly.

But I'm still loving it. When I get to Montreal, I'll install it on my tower and finally get some real gaming going on.

I was very disappointed by the story and length. Way too easy in normal mode too.

Gameplay is amazing though. Wish you could use your companion in multiplayer though - you could in D2.

Im not sure how I feel about multiple playthroughs to get to a decent mode. Seems like there is too much "MMO like" farming built in.
