:vik: Its almost that time ladies and gentlemen.
-chuckles- have fun :P
WE NEED A SHAMAN!
Different game but still works
This week really brings together a lot of nice things, got pre-order at EB Games.
I am on Act V of DII: LOD, I am going to finish that quickly again before I play DIII :)
I'm getting it free with the WoW Annual Pass (though, ironically, I don't play WoW anymore) so I'll definitely be playing.
Just picked my preorder up. :) Guide was discounted 30%? for me, and it came down to $14 or so. I'd get it either way, DII's which I got with the game last time had such amazing descriptions and images of most of the monsters.
Edit: There appears to be a "Guest pass" key on one of the manuals to give to a friend, I am sure I could give it to someone if they want to try before purchasing. :-3
Edit 2: Actually, four, and one WoW, feel free to PM me if you want one. :)
Edit 3: Windows XP SP1/2 may not install, unwilling to update to SP3 so I had to change a registry key for the duration of the install (required restart) and now it works. The symptom is that it is stuck at 0% (even if it lets you past the "outdated operating system" warning)
Can't get it till the 25th so looks like I'll be playing diablo II for the next while

I just just finished DII: LOD again started few weeks ago, wanted ending fresh in my head. I'll never replace DII with anything, it holds such fond memories for me.
Maybe.. There's a mod called Median XL (http://modsbylaz.hugelaser.com/) (by Brother Laz), it replaces nearly every monster with new ones (or ones just not added in the game?), and does a lot of much needed balancing and some new areas. I've been playing that a few times over to make DII refreshing recently.
I just got it today ^.=.^
DrakeW#1792 is my tag

literally beat the game on normal already? O_o
haha some people just really wanna blaze as fast as they can. It will probably take me days to beat it since I get only a few hours a day.

Tell me this was after an 8 hour marathon with no enjoying the scenery and text..
Edit: Game almost nothing like DII, need to wait until no more disconnects and play it as it is I guess.
Anyone have a spare Guest Pass I can have? I want to see how it runs on my PC before I blow $60 on it, lol
First act seems pretty long, I'm injoying it so far :3 the demon hunter rocks
I just finished it this afternoon ;D
Taking my time it was about 16hours on normal. I would have finished it last night but the server where down and i fell asleep lol

If you are running on a laptop with integrated graphics, you can forget it. If you have a discrete card of any kind you will have no trouble, DIII is not meant to be beautiful with high quality sparkles and shadows. I even turned the resolution down to get more of the gory edgy effect I loved in DII.

I actually listened to all the story and did every optional area I found. B: I just didn't sleep. Or stop. XD

Although my card has newer processes, yours is superior in specification and should run fine if mine does. :P

Man, Rue: It still took me two days to beat it :P
Oh, feel free to add me with Crassadon#1288
Doing Hardcore Monk, if you are not a troll :P
Silvermink#1808, 34 Demon Hunter at the moment.
Aha! I knew there had to be more furries like myself enjoying this game for all it was worth. I'm a level 25 wizard, and I just started Act III this morning. Act I and II were a little slow for my taste, but man, do I love the no holds barred aspect of Act III.
Disintegrate all the things!!! :vik:
Add me it you guys feel like it. I'm going to be playing on a pretty regular basis, though for my first playthrough I do intend to see all the storyline.
...crap, can't remember my Battle.net ID. I think it's JaNathun#1298 but Jim could be wrong. Safer to just add me by email: Dusquis@hotmail.com.
Anyone Raging with Act II Inferno yet?
Level 60 Barbarian here with Act 1 Inferno mostly on Farm.
If anyone else wants a guest pass send me a PM
Just got into Act II inferno on my barbarian finally. Anyone else still playing this?
I found nightmare too easy, was hoping for it to be even harder. I suppose when I next play I'll be able to rush through it and get to the later difficulties that make it much much harder.
Whimsyshire takes the cake when bored.. :-3
As it stands right now, Inferno is broken difficulty, requiring lots of farming for items... and even then, still getting 2-3 shotted by hero waves.

Item farming? Back in my day.. you'd kill Baal with your fists on Nightmare to gage your readiness for Hell.

There where a few times i had to hit the auction for stuff on nightmare but it wasn't to bad. I know what you mean about the hero waves though. Some of them require about as much strategy as a boss.
It's probably balanced that way on purpose. Only those that are willing to shell out money / grind their asses off will be able to get elite gear to finish Inferno.
Gear was ALWAYS a grind in Hell difficulty of D2. Couldn't run around naked unless you were a 90+ sorc :P
I started a monk, my lvl 51 wizzy was too squishy :S
Just made it to nightmare with him, actually managed to get the Staff Of Herding as well ^.=.^
*dusts off website bookmark* Bleh, I've not been here in ages. Should probably stay a lil more up to date with that.
Anyway, I picked up D3 a couple days ago, beat normal with a monk (I couldn't take the fight with Diablo seriously) at level 31. Currently derpin' with a Demon Hunter. Probably going to play all five classes through the game to see which I handle best before going to harder difficulties.
BattleTag is Dragonfire#1527 (t'was an old favorite username of mine, lotta good memories attached to it)
And now I return to the game; there is evil afoot and I must destroy it!
I think Im totally done with D3, least for now. Got to Act II inferno, running around with 9500 armour, 58,000 health, and 800 resist all, and some elite packs still kill me.
It is a indescribable pain to grind for hours on gear you can't even use, for no upgrade, and no money to buy what is actually an upgrade. It was a good little run, but I can't see myself still playing it.
Exactly - Fazar has it right. Even the best geared toon can't cope with some of the shit inferno throws at you. To me, that's broken.

. . is that true? :o

If you were a high level barbarian with decent gear and a stockpile of pots, yes you could theoretically punch Baal to death. D2 allowed people to make way overpowered characters with a little practice and the right setup, which was one of the things I loved about it. Lots of gametime -> lots of goodies and skills -> overpowered characters that were fun.
Apparently D3 solves this by nerfing everyone's characters and making Inferno stupidly hard.
The wizards archon form is nicely overpowered right now. Although they plan to nerf it. Probably far to much than it need to be

It wasn't overpowered, if you had a level 20 meteor fall on you, being level 100 won't matter, you're squashed like a bug. I had meant using your skills without relying on armour (or its effects), retreating backwards, using skills to dodge attacks was important in the game over spamming potions.
I will admit partying for EXP was done often. Items became less important later on, you could do a lot if you did it right, had to plan attack not just spam potions and attacks like D3.
During my month with D3 - one thing I really missed: 8P groups/games. I had so many friends that played that it wasn't possible to get our normal group into one game. Which sucked.
And yeah. D2 was far more skill bound than it was item bound... D3 is quite the opposite in Inferno.
