Diablo III Clubhouse

[Arciks]

Urg, that sounds like such a beating. All to play one game. Maybe you had some out of date drivers, or a messed up registry setting?

I'm not terribly fond of the 'online single player' drm model, but if there's anyone that can do it, it's Blizzard. But server downtimes are going to be such a hassle to work around since Diablo is traditionally a single player game. Also that gets rid of all of the cool hack/mods people used to play around with back in D2. I really hope they release a single player fix later in the game's lifespan.

it not me its brother who did it.And he had windows up to date, we did all driver update before game install.And it was time to reinstall it anyway,and its just gaming PC used only for gaming,so he didnt loose anything only gained.

[slyfox2151]

WOOO DIABLO 3 :D

haha


To be perfectly honest i expected a lot of downtime / problems with the launch of this game! IMO they have done fairly well so far.

There was a news post up a few mins ago about server issues and they are working on the problem. likely to be solved within the hour.

Yea i'm not pissed.. lol I'm just trying to get a laugh..lol But I hope they fix this before I get home.. I just googled Diablo 3 problems..lol i'm just working for the man right now..lol

[slyfox2151]

lmao fair enough :D

i only logged out to goto the auction house... saw no items... tried to log back in... no go :( lol
i have made around 5000g from the AH so far... stuck 3 items on it and they sold instantly lol (after the 5 min delay thingy)

[ufgy20]

Ok so my roommate is having a pretty bad problem trying to DL Diabloe from the disk. when he goes to do it it says he does not have enough HDD space on the disk yet its like 500gis free and his partitian has no space but the Battle.net folder goes to his main drive. so anybody out there able to find a solution to this problem i have yet to come across anything in the forum

[cadaveca]

Perhaps he's not installnig as Admin?

[ufgy20]

Perhaps he's not installnig as Admin?

Yes we have tried running as an admin. it still does the same thing it starts up initilizes then says he does not have enough space on his HDD. he has done the basics blizzard has asked he is waiting for a ticket response now but it takes roughly 24-48 hours. trying to help find a quicker solution

You can change where the game installs. Have you tried installing into another HDD or partition?

[slyfox2151]

WOOO Error 75 :D

How can he change it as soon as he runs from disk or the Exe it just starts up for a moment says like checking for updates... updating setup files... and then it crashes and says not enough disk space BLZPTS00009

Try to copy/paste it(the entire disk) to your hard drive. I bet it's trying to install it on the disk drive. lol

[slyfox2151]

FFS...

EDIT:

[ufgy20]

[alexsubri]

I am thinking about buying this. I am a noob to the Diablo series. Is it worth my investment for a noob player in this genre type of games?

[AphexDreamer]

Same here never played a Diablo game in my life. But all my friends are hyped up about it, is it worth getting involved in it? Is it really so fun? It looks like an RPG/RTS blend and I'm not all that big on RTS games.. HON for example I could never get in to.

[slyfox2151]

YES DEAR GOD YES BUY THE GAME!

its very easy to get started... the difficulty can be scaled from 8 year old to Hard Core Asian.
its less RTS and more Point click move kill upgrade kill more.


Grab the starter edition to try it out.. i think you can get to level 12 on it.

[cadaveca]

There is like ZERO RTS elements, except other than Co-Op class choices.

[slyfox2151]

i expected there to me more people in this thread since D3 is currently down...

[razaron]

Can you be kicked for idleness?

[Mindweaver]

Yea I hate RTS games as well. Diablo is not a RTS game. I love Diablo games! :toast:

[razaron]

I'm OK with always on DRM, but that sucks.

[slyfox2151]

Man....

"Servers should be up by 11:30 PDT"...
11:30 PDT time they say
"Sorry fixing stuff, try again at 1:30"
1:30PDT time
"Um we are testing stuff... come back in an hour"


http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/5051765603



WTF is wrong with the American servers. the Asian and Europe servers are still active.

[1Kurgan1]

Copy the installer to the main drive and install it that way.

I had my installer sitting on my RAID for about a month now, when I installed it went onto my SSD. I didn't check if there was a way to change where it went though, so afterwards I just grabbed it and put it on my RAID.

[Mindweaver]

1:55 p.m. PDT - Starting at approximately 2:15 p.m. PDT, we will be bringing Diablo III servers in the Americas offline for urgent maintenance to address several issues that are impacting the game. We anticipate that maintenance will last for about an hour and that servers will be available at approximately 3:30 p.m. PDT. We will provide further updates as they are necessary. Thank you for your patience.

[NinkobEi]

Well that's frustrating. Finally get home to play it and servers will be down for an hour. sigh.

Seem like it's a popular game, though. :laugh:

[HTC]

This sucks :(

Had passed the Skeleton King and had over 6 hours play time but now my char is gone and i have to start over :(

CRAP!!!

[AlienIsGOD]

@ Dave, you should have seen Wotlk WoW launch it was F'ing WHORRIBLE. When you were finally able to log in you were greated by a "Line in Queue" box usually #'ed in the 1000s. Nvm the fact the maintenance days for the first month lasted between 8-16 hours, if the server even came back up that Tuesday >_<

Oh, I remember that... It was a PITA to try and play.. I quit for that reason... Cat wasn't so bad... Now, it's just a few hours here and there when they update with the new patch...


Thank god I do mostly 12h work days... I'll probably be able to play it when they figure the sh1t out..

I'd really be surprised if anyone was that far yet. MY friend hasn't slept yet and in an hour he will be here for the LAN (he's been up over 24 hours already lol). He has a 12 Barbarian and a 25 Demon Hunter, he just killed The Butcher. And we only played our Barbs for about 2 hours, so from 4am till 5:30pm (now) he's been playing that char, so can't be too many ahead of him.

On TOPIC:

Having a lot of fun with the game. Demon Hunter... But, to flippn' tired to play anymore...

[Mussels]

ok so i want to buy this for my GF.


aus uses USA servers anyway, so i figured i'd get her a USA account ($20 cheaper) except... we cant figure out how to buy and gift the codes, instead of buying straight to the logged in account.


edit: turns out dick smith (retail electronics store) has it for $59, cheaper than even the USA digital version. go figure.

I bought digital and then also was lucky enough to snag a CE from my local wal mart.i submitted the request so if all goes well they should give me an additional key since i bought the game twice.

I can not say when they will do it, but if you are still looking by then i'll let you know.

Indeed they did, i was hoping to get to hell today but i've lost hours upon hours of time due to servers going down and odd lag/game closing/disconnecting.

No big deal though, just a game.

yep I saw that! thanks! ... Now if only the server would be up to play :laugh:

Ya know always on DRM is fine as long as people that will connect, CAN connect. If they sell a game and then say you can't play it even if you hold up your end of the deal (legit copy with Internet) they could be in trouble law wise. Unless there is something in the ELUA about no guarantee of service. If so then we are at their mercy I suspect.

[cadaveca]

THis is BS that i see repeated often.

You cannot know EULA before purchase. Any and all requirements must be stated on the outside of the box, since most retailers will not refund on opened media. This has been fought in court, and won. Either they provide what's on the box, or it constitutes fraud. Many retailers will now give refunds on opened media.

The whole EULA thing should be challenged in court soon as well. Forcing you to agree to such things ,after purchase, but before you can use the software liscence you purchased, in essence, is not a valid method of signing/enforcing a contract. It very simply is placing the user under duress, and as such, any EULA agreement has no way that it will be upheld in court.


It's just a matter of throwing it before the courts, and paying the fees to have it be so. No big deal...:laugh:

While I agree about the EULA as the law stands NOW we are screwed. Most companies will provide you with a EULA before purchase if requested. So when it does go to court its gonna be a HARD sell its not an agreement.

[cadaveca]

Most companies will provide you with a EULA before purchase if requested.

Impossible in the retail space(and this is how EULA's will not stand up to the test in court). But I get where you are coming from.

Law says NOTHING now lulz. IT says that aANY contract signed under duress is invalid. There is no cut and dry "guilty" in law. Muderers can get not-guilty, and innocent people can get convicted. ;)

You just need to prove that the situation put you under duress(no other options to be had). The way EULA's are used, they are nothing BUT duress.

Unlawful pressure exerted upon a person to coerce that person to perform an act that he or she ordinarily would not perform.

Would anyone normal agree to pay for something they could not use? I mean sure, could go either way, but a good lawyer(ie, big $$$) should have no issues here.

EDIT: The kicker here with Diablo III is the real-world money auction house. If you buy the game to access that part of the game, and are "forced" to "sign" a EULA in order to get access to that money potential, duress can be claimed.

Proving duress in clicking "agree" or "decline" in the comfort of your living room to play a video game is gonna be a hard sell IMO.

See edit. lulz. So now, time not able to access the service can constitute a potential loss in revenue.

I mean, it's a stretch, don't get me wrong...but definitely possible to push through. TEH "groudnwork" for such is there, as is the legal precedence...it's just a matter of acting on it.

Thats a stretch like of Mr. Fantastic origin. :laugh:

Laws are open to interpretation by the judge. Even if it WASN'T a stretch, it's still possible that it could go either way.

I eman really, we are talking about minor money here, so the chances of even getting the case heard is not very likely, unless pushed as civil-action.


Honestly, to me, this launch has been pretty good. There have been some issues, sure, but not THAT many.

[techguy31]

So how is the game? Is it better than Starcraft II?

So how is the game? Is it better than Starcraft II?

Are you serious?

I'm asking because they are two completely different games.

[razaron]

This game becomes much more enjoyable after the beta part is over.

So how is the game? Is it better than Starcraft II?

D3 has better resource management mechanics, but SC2 had better RPG elements.

You're not playing it right for the most laughs. You need to do "Charge, hit, run away, die"
:roll:

I've had no trouble with the arerican servers at all. Get in every time.
I do notice lag once in ahwile and it's not what's going on in the scene (physics, etc.), it's a server lag for some reason.

Is 62.23 damage at level 14 good?

[3870x2]

Is 62.23 damage at level 14 good?

Depends. You need to check your DPS, that is what really matters.

If that is your DPS, its probably average. I was 127 at level 15, being a demon hunter with ~200 dexterity.

[razaron]

In the beta the demon hunter had by far the most DPS. 'twas kewl.

Well for perspective, I never died in normal, got caught a few random times in nightmare, and then i was absolutely murdered in hell.

That being said, the getting murdered part applies to when you're doing games with a team of people. Going through it solo is much much easier. With that said, it's not easy at all when you hit hell.

[AlienIsGOD]

I'll ask again, where do these Pages of Training drop? i cant find ANY for the life of me :banghead:

the ping in this is iffy (i can get flat 30ms to google, but in game from 220 to 600 changing on its own) playing with my GF across the room, but goddamned is it fun.

Did you play in a full group of people though? If you had others tanking it helps, with just me and him I can't hold them all. I rush into anything and live as a Barb, but sometimes he rushes in without me and just dies.

Yea I played with a full group of people, we then had to go our separate ways because of the extreme scaling of hell difficulty when you get multiple people in it.

I'm playing as a barbarian and I can't quite figure out the best way of tackling it. I can't kite, if i try to take anything that isn't a normal mob I usually get smashed to pieces from non-stop 5K damage hits. High life steal is a thing of the past, and you really only have a few quick % life heals.

Are you in Hell as well?

SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE - 05/17/2012

We will be performing maintenance on Thursday, May 17th. Maintenance will begin at 5:00 AM PDT and conclude at approximately 7:00 AM PDT. During this time, servers and many web services will be unavailable.
Thank you for your patience.

All matters how much you have played. So far almost done with Act 3 and I'm really enjoying it. I know a common complaint was graphics (actually texture quality), and while that is lacking. They have done some excellent work on scenery and locations. I much prefer the locations in this game to D2, it actually feels creepy. So overall the texture quality isn't bothering eme, and the gameplay is very good, so for me it's a perfect time to pass my judgement on it. I think it's a good game, maybe great, that will depend on how many times I can play through it without getting bored.

I've yet to fine anything higher than rare, and have only found one socketted item and one gem. :/

[Mussels]

level 20, most of my items are rares now, and got about 8 gems (and one socketed amulet that sucks)

[random]

Bit the bullet and bought the game, played for half an hour as servers are down for maintenance.. Sigh.

Texture models are equivalent to Torchlight really but the environment/atmosphere of Diablo III is far better. I am getting the MMO vibe from this game as its 24/7 online and the maintenance is really ruining the experience. But with that said the game is fun despite the outdated looking models I am still finding myself enjoying pointing and clicking just like the older diablos, the story is really awesome so far too.

My Barb. has about 38 DPS and 350 armor. But I'm only lvl 12.

And when I live in UK is it normal to be 250+ latency?

Are you using some tank talents? I'm at 401 DPS unbuffed (using swords of course) on my Barb at level 28, when I have Full Fury + Battle Rage I get the results below, and he is my main so I'm not using gems that are beyond my level or any other tricks.

Wow that's a lot higher than I thought. I use a sword/board, that's probably why my damage is so low. Didn't realize the dps jump to Dualwield is so significant..may have to try it.

My general tactics are: Leap into a group of them (w/ 300% armor boost), cleave, rend, threatening shout about the time armor boost runs out, with revenge sprinkled in the middle, and finally run away until leap recharges if they aren't dead yet. I'm sure this strategy won't work on nightmare/hell difficulty but for normals its a pub-stomp lol. I'll usually end fights full hp and barely take any damage at all.

I'll have to post some screenies when I get home, but I remember leap giving me 75% damage mitigation or so, which with a 20% block shield is pretty ridiculous.

As long as you kill things I wouldn't worry too much about the DPS. I play with Ufgy, so I don't need to be able to survive as much since he whips out the damage to. But I run the Heal Skill on my Frenzy and the Heal Skill on my AoE thing on hotkey 2 (the one that procs when you get hit), and I got a bit of Life Steal and I can stand toe to toe with anything and rarely pop a potion, so so far it's been tanky enough.

I'm a bit slower than everyone else, but it seems to be working just fine!

[NinkobEi]

neat little dual wielding read:
Dual Wielding works like this: your overall DPS will be (weapon1 dps + weapon2 dps)/2 * 15% increased attack speed. What this means is that if your weapon DPS differs by more than 15% from both hands you are literally gaining no benefit from dual wielding aside from stats. Dual wielding benefits the most from any flat on-hit effect. For example, fury generators give flat fury bonus per hit, so your fury generation will be much faster the faster you swing. Frenzy stacks are easy to maximize in a second or so, life on hit works much better when dual wielding and any % chance on hit also works better.

Conversely, Whirlwind is worse on dual wielding because your attack speed means that each pulse of whirlwind occurs faster. Similarly, something like Earthquake does a lot less damage when dual wielding than two handed because it's based off your main hand damage. Essentially, dual wielding is very fury inefficient but it generates fury the fastest.

No, I am not using a mouse. After shoulder surgery, I need to keep my right arm basically pinned to my right side, so the tablet sits on my lap with my right hand on the buttons, and the stylus and it's two buttons replaces the mouse(no problems using my left arm). I've got a keyboard with mouse intergrated into it as well. And yes, left-handed, hence the buttons on that side. Otherwise my hand would be resting on the buttons. :laugh:


Tapping the stylus to the surface is like a right click, to focusing on enemies and movement is super-easy. I had issues at first, but figuring out that "shift" keeps you in place worked wonders.



EDIT: OH, it works great with Bejeweled? :roll: honestly haven't tried many games iwth it yet. Any point-click game is usually OK, FPS games though, forgeddaboutit.

Packs of nibs were $10, Wacom covering repalcement stuff like that, and having it so affordable is definitely a huge plus as well, for sure. Spending that extra $130 should have me good for years with maintaining the tablet.

lol I bet! Well Im glad you are digging that Wacom. I knew you would. They are super nice but the older ones were better built. They had a life time warranty on EVERYTHING. These only have 5 years I think and the surface wears. Old ones look new with a lil Windex. But why buy a new one when it has a life time on it? lol. Wacom realized "Shit no ones gonna buy a new model!" so the added a few features that were needed (tilt and higher DPI) and killed the warranty.

I know artists who have 10+ year old wacoms. They really are the BEST.

neat little dual wielding read:

Yep, but the fact that DW doesn't use Fury that well is just fine, because you take the Talent that gives you a damage bonus when you are full Fury, then you just go to town with Frenzy basically. And when you need some aoe, pop your thing that procs when you get hit (mine crits for about 1300), also use your Barbarian Bros (they are awesome), and if things still aren't dying, then use whatever AoE you chose on right click. Even on a 2 man game with things with extra life, I've walked into a room solo with over 25 monsters in there and a boss and with that strategy they die in literally about 5 seconds (by the time Ufgy catches up they are all dead and he has no idea a boss was even in there).

@ lvl 23, my wizard doesn't have much DPS but i'm trying to concentrate on dmg WITH MF items rather then purely dmg items.

Open Letter from Blizzard On The Problematic Launch! (http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/open-letter-from-blizzard-on-the-problematic-launch)

Diablo Players:
We’d like to extend a very sincere thank you to everyone who joined the global Diablo III launch celebrations this week, as well as to everyone who was ready to jump into Sanctuary the moment the game went live.

To that end, we’d also like to say that we’ve been humbled by your enthusiasm — and we sincerely regret that your crusade to bring down the Lord of Terror was thwarted not by mobs of demons, but by mortal infrastructure. As many of you are aware, technical issues occurring within hours after the game’s launch led to players experiencing error messages and difficulty logging in. These issues cropped up again last night for the Americas and Europe servers. Despite very aggressive projections, our preparations for the launch of the game did not go far enough.

We’ve been monitoring the game 24/7 and have applied several optimizations to help our systems better weather the global rush. As of late last night, specifically 11:50 PM PDT on May 15, all systems have been online and running relatively smoothly. We’re continuing to monitor performance globally and will be taking further measures as needed to ensure a positive experience for everyone. This includes some maintenance to implement additional improvements for each region.

In order to make sure everything is continuing to run as it should, we’ve decided to move out our target launch for the real-money auction house beyond our original estimated date of May 22. We’ll post further updates on that in the near future.

Aside from the tremendous number of players simultaneously logging in to the game, one of the launch-day service issues was linked to the achievement system. Some players began to notice early on that achievements were either not being earned properly, or not being saved between multiple logins. We’re investigating this issue and will provide a specific update as soon as possible.

We greatly appreciate everyone’s support, and we want to sincerely apologize for the difficulties many of you encountered on day one. Please visit the Battle.net Support site or Support forums for the latest service-related updates or for help in troubleshooting any technical issues you may be having downloading, installing, or while playing the game.

Thank you again for your patience while we reinforce the gates of Sanctuary and further strengthen it for your onslaught.

Respectfully,
Blizzard Entertainment

Naw we had a demon hunter in the group who also never died. Normal was pretty much a cakewalk. NM was also pretty easy. Then hell got vastly more difficult. Currently in Act 3 hell though.

Yeah most of his deaths are him just being gung ho. But comparing how easily his DH folds compared to a Barb is a night and day difference (even without me being tanky). He had a group of 4 champions jump down on him and basically kill him instantly. When I went to revive him I had to kill them, with my life leech I don't even think they moved my life bar. Just seems DH is a stick back class, can't Rambo it as much.

But yea wait until hell mode, random stuff will 1-2 shot you even as a barb.

@w1zz why u no accept Batletag request :( sent you another

i'm on EU

[DannibusX]

You gotta be fucking kidding me. Work night dragging on waiting to go home and play and they have maintenance when I walk in the door.

All I want to do is play the single player game, jesus.

Yes, I am quoting myself.

I got to play for an hour after I got home, which is pretty much all I wanted.

Since I am now a hypocrit for buying Diablo 3 even though it has 100% on DRM and I railed Ubisoft for this exact thing I will be buying some Ubi games in the near future.

Hello Rayman: Origins!

[AlienIsGOD]

i'm on EU

i assume once Global Play is live then we can all conncet on B.Net?

[Melvis]

ok so i want to buy this for my GF.


aus uses USA servers anyway, so i figured i'd get her a USA account ($20 cheaper) except... we cant figure out how to buy and gift the codes, instead of buying straight to the logged in account.


edit: turns out dick smith (retail electronics store) has it for $59, cheaper than even the USA digital version. go figure.

Thats the version i got from Dick Smith and i had it held for me as i have a m8 that works at the store ;)

My brother got the digital download version for $56

[NinkobEi]

Finally finished normal. Here's my barb with no buffs. Battlerage gives him about a 100 dps damage boost. My stats look pretty weak compared to some of yours. And I haven't invested much time in gems even though I have a boat load of them lying around

ps. Cinematics are so great in this game.

How has everyone been spending their gold? Other than 2 rings I bought in the beginning, everything has gone towards my blacksmith.

stash spaces, smithing/jewelcrafting ;D need 100k to open the next stash, crap!

[magibeg]

I went to the new cow level, called Whimsyshire, it's pretty hilarious. It's pretty expensive to get there though.

[Kreij]

I started over with a monk. I thought the barb was tough, the monk is a freakin' lawn mower. lol
So far my highest "slaughter" record is 44. I think the best the barb did was about 21.

Now I'm stuck trying to beat Belial. He kicks my ass before I can get him even 1/4 down.

[NinkobEi]

Urg, i hope this 'server maintenance' doesn't become a popular thing. I play during off peak hours mostly and that seems to be when they do they most maintenance.

It's only been 4 days since release :eek: also I think that after a cpl of weeks things will be alot more stable, remember this isn't WoW and woth WoW EVERY Tues is either server main. or rolling restarts. Each server also has 10s of 1000s of players on them whereas D3 any game running will only have 4 at the most. I think alot atm is the login servers as the game is so new that millions of ppl are playing non stop every day since Tuesday.

[DannibusX]

Maintenance will likely end up being weekly after they get the bugs worked out and server loads normalize. Same as WoW.

I'm doubting that will be the case since the server loads won't be as great. We'll see though, if they incorporate maint without servers going down, then they can't maint as much as they want.

Agreed, expecting server upkeep to be similar to Starcraft 2, I think it's just the AH and server errors causing the issue really.

How does the game handle level differences of characters in MP?

[TheMailMan78]

How does the game handle level differences of characters in MP?

It increases the difficulty of the mobs. Basically the more people that play the harder the game gets.

[Kreij]

I understand that more players = harder/more mobs, but how does it account for level differences? Say you have 2x 20th levels and 1x 30th level playing together.

[TheMailMan78]

That I dunno. We all have multiple characters to match everyone at different levels. What level you at now man?

[Kreij]

Monk is 24th, Barb is 18th.
Can you go back and forth between SP and MP with the same characters without screwing up your SP game?

[TheMailMan78]

Monk is 24th, Barb is 18th.

Yeah I think you can jump back to check points. Ill have to see. My Barb is 17. Perfect match for multiplayer. Hell Ill join your game if you are not farther then me so you can enjoy the plot. If Im behind you then join my game and build your stats!

[cadaveca]

Yeah, seems easy enough. Your character might be higher-level than needed though. :p


AS Mailman said, you can "change quest", and select one of many checkpoints for each chapter of each act, and even some shorter events, so if palying MP you g oa bit far, adn you want to trverse back a bit, you can just select that proper quest point.

I've done this a few times now, can be really hard to try to keep playing with 6 different people!

[brandonwh64]

I know yesterday me and reayth were playing MP and he is a lvl 9, I am a lvl 5 and we were getting our ASSES handed too us in the cathedral. It seemed like every enemy was a lvl 10-11 and I hardly was doing much damage. I finally started using a arcane explosion which did a good number of damage but does not last long due to mana levels.

[Kreij]

Okay so right now I only see public games on the menu. I assume I just need to give you my battle.net tag to get invited to private games?
If so, it's Kreij#1784

It's worth noting that once you are ingame, and have people on your friends list, they can join your game at any time, without your permission or anything. So, Invites are not required.

[Kreij]

So there really is no difference between an SP game and an MP game?
If I'm playing my SP game, any friend can join in if I have any friends in my list?

Yup! Thats what Ive been telling ya! Now wheres my invite damn it!

[brandonwh64]

Can we start a list in the OP with everyone's battletags? it would help when we are adding them to friends list

[Kreij]

What's your tag?

[brandonwh64]

brandonwh64#1534

[cadaveca]

IT's also worth noting that Full-Edition players cannot MP with Starter-Edition players. Bought the retail copy, got a code or 3 to share, want to play a bit with a friend using the guest pass? NOT GONNA HAPPEN!!!


But Starter Edition players can MP together.:D

[Kreij]

Okay, I'll start adding some friends, but you guys could regret it as I have zero experience in MP games and suck at team dynamics. :D

lol like we play well as a team? Its like herding cats. Only time we kick ass is in BF3 as a team.

OP Updated!

[digibucc]

fyi there is an option in game settings to not allow people to drop into your games.

Yeah I don't get it. We are like a well oiled war machine in BF3. In Diablo 3 we are like Jerry's kids.

I'm on the fence with buying DIII. Anyone with an extra guest pass they will part with, before I blow the $60?

[NinkobEi]

If you wait til mid-june they will be releasing a global free trial to anyone. Same deal as the guest pass without needing the guest pass. If you can't wait that long, maybe you should just buy it ;P

[Kreij]

I droppedd into Dave's game to give it a try. I can see it can be a total cluster f* lol

Going into MP somewhat hoses your SP game. Not irreparably, but you lose your place and have to start over at the specific quest beginning (not a big deal) and you lose your follwer and have to go back and rehire them.

I read a bit on the internet for tactics to beat Belial, and guess what !!
I'm still getting my ass kicked. :rockout:

Yeah I remember him being a pain in the butt. Having multiple people really helped me. Also ranged damage. My Barb had to get close to him to do any damage at all. And that's not a place you want to be. Are you on nightmare?

Man I was the same way. I had no idea what to expect but I fugured with such a cult following and it being Blizzard and all I would take a gamble. Its not even my style of game. But man I LOVE IT.

Thing is, I always think buying a game is a good idea. However, I haven't been much of a gamer for years. I thought with Skyrim that I would actually really get into gaming again. Nope. Got bored after like 4 hours of play. I think the last games I actually finished were DII and HL2...I'm not kidding. So, I'm hoping to get a solid feel for the game first, and since it's a hack and slash, I may get into it. I just don't want to spend $60 to find out.

Oh I can dig that man. Yeah I would try and score a guest pass. Its a hack and slash but if you lost the passion to game then I would wait. No need to blow 60 bones in this economy. I got it to play with the guys in TS.
