Official Diablo 3 thread: everything D3 related

[staygold89]

well there's your problem. what you should do is tell her "it's not you, it's me" and take a break for anywhere from 3months to 5 years.

i'll be starting with a Monk. appears to be a great team player and he's a bit faster-paced at melee than the barb so i gotta go with him. was going to do a sorce, excuse me wizard, but the i took more of a liking to the Monk after playing the beta. what's everyone else starting with?

these are my two favorite charactors. monk/wiz. still can't decide which i'll play with first...

decisions decisions...

[eddie291]

Monk for me. The gameplay videos made look pretty bad ass before the open beta, and I was sold after playing as one.

[VDubby18]

Not sure why but the monk interests me the least.
For me it's, in order of most interesting to least,

Demon hunter
Witch doctor
wizard
barbarian
monk

Truth be told the barb was always my favorite in D2.

[SOAR]

Not sure why but the monk interests me the least.

You're the first person I've heard that from. Did you play in the beta?

[Lurkin bunny]

Monk doesn't seem to interest me at al either. Played through the beta as one and it just seemed boring. It reminded me of playing a paladin in d2 which was very very boring.

[staygold89]

i guess that's the beauty of the game.

different classes interest different people.

personally the barb is on the bottom. only cause its not an original like the rest.

[VDubby18]

Nope. I ended up purchasing a new desktop just so I could play the game. Being delivered tomorrow.

[eddie291]

Same here. My list is

Monk
Demon Hunter
Wizard
Witch Doctor
Barbarian

That said, I'm planning on playing as all of them eventually.

Amazon

Monday the computer I wanted was on sale for $609
Tuesday the price was $699. I figured the sale was over, so I placed an order.
Wednesday (today) the computer is back at $609


I call support, and they say there is nothing they can do. So I ask the question, "So I can just return the damn thing, place another order for the exact same thing, and save myself $90?" and they tell me that's what I have to do.

Of course it ends up costing me $26 to return it.

So I have a $699 computer being delivered tomorrow, and the same computer for $609 being delivered Friday. Jackasses.

I didn't embed it to prevent spoilers, for at least those who didn't play the beta.

You got it.

This was Amazon giving me problems. Not iBuyPower.

BUT the Amazon customer service guy was helpful and extremely nice. We actually had a conversation about Diablo 3 while he was seeing what he could do for me.

Wow. Thats awesome!

[Clean PG]

my d2 hc ladder char update:

finished act1 like it was nothing and breezed through act2 last night with a friend. my trap sin + his skelemancer works well. Dury gave us a little bit of a scare, as my buddies skeletons all died when Dury still had about 1/4 life left. So we ran in circles until the traps pk'd him . Now we're in act3. i'm sure i'll be on later tonight (930pm CST) working my way to mephisto if anyone has a char around level 20ish and wants to join me. /f a *dv_hc

They do, I've posted about my experience with them in the computer forums.

There were thorn builds for paladins in Diablo 2. I saw a few that could clear Hell without doing much at all. It was crazy. Although I think you saw more hammerdins than any other pally build.

skelemancer with iron maiden/bramble was also very efficient not to mention safe since you'd have such a huge meat shield around you. also, blood golem + iron maiden and corpse explosion in cow runs was unstoppable. good times

hmm, ironic i say that and then see this on reddit:
lost my level 79 Hardcore Necromancer last night while streaming. I'm pretty sure you can hear my soul being crushed.

Done, thank you sir.

[motoo344]

Who ordered the ce? I ordered one from tiger direct pretty late because I was told it was in stock by two diffent people but I still have not gotten any shipping updates. When I ordered it the website said it was in stock and now it says it's out so hopefully I will get it. If not I might just go to the 24 hour wal mart and check it out or check stores the next day and cancel my order.

Not sure how tiger direct works, but at Amazon, they don't ship till the day before release day. So I wouldn't worry about it.

And thanks for the heads up on the beta thing. I would've never caught it otherwise.

[SOAR]

He said it was something like 4am and he was super tired. But yeah... that sucks.

[Juniper Monkeys]

I think my cousin made the same noise as that guy when he lost a 90 barbarian during a sneezing fit a few years ago. I hadn't laughed so hard in my life. Of course, if it had been me I would have launched my computer into the sun.

That reminds me, I'm Juniper#1578.

The game hasn't come out yet, and there's already some known bugs:
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/4916972036

Hello everyone, and welcome to Sanctuary! Below you will find the Known Issues list for our 1.0.1 patch. Please do not report bugs that you see on this list as we already know about them, and help out other players reporting bugs by referring them to this list. Thank you!

Achievements
The description of the Feat of Strength for "One of the Chosen" does not specifically state that it was granted to Closed Beta players, not all Beta players.The description of the achievement "Why’d It Have To Be Snakes?" is misleading.The description of the achievement "Crispy Critters" implies that all critters are found in one zone, but they are not. Good luck finding them!

Auction House
You cannot list equipped items that have been bought from a vendor.

Battle.net
It is possible to get ERROR 37 (The servers are busy, please try again) when logging in if the servers are under heavy stress. This error literally means that the servers are busy and that you should try again, so please try again in a minute or so!Very quickly entering, leaving, and switching chat channels over and over can cause a player from getting locked out of chat channels.It is possible for a friend to be on your friend's list with no name if that friend has a BattleTag but has never logged into Diablo III and is offline.Changing your account's Parental Controls while you are in Diablo III can disconnect you from Diablo III.
Workaround: Exit Diablo III before changing Parental Controls.

Combat
Damage over time debuffs are not benefiting from items that grant crit chance.The resurrection animation speed is being calculated by the player's attack speed. It actually should be a set amount across all players.

Environment
[Act 2] Players who cast Town Portal while standing in a tar pit will cause the tar pit slowing debuff to stay on your character until you leave the game or manually walk into and out of a tar pit.

Monsters
The gold dropped from Treasure Goblins can be picked up by all members of the party. Items dropped by the Treasure Goblins are still individual player drops.It is possible for Champion-class monsters with the Waller affix to cast their walls at their location rather than at the player's location.

Followers
The total life for Followers is rounding incorrectly and is off by 1.

Starter Edition
When a Starter Edition character hits level 13, the experience bar will read 0/0. If the player upgrades, they will start a 0 experience towards level 14.

Tools
If the user has any connections configured in "Dial-up and Virtual Private Network settings" and they're set to "Dial whenever a network connection is not present," the install won't proceed past 10%.It is possible for your cinematics to stutter and not play well if you begin playing Diablo III immediately when reaching Yellow Data.
Workaround: Exit Diablo III and fully patch your game. Your cinematics should play fine then.

Compatibility
Running programs that put an overlay over Diablo III (such as Mumble, Xfire, and MSI Afterburner) can cause Diablo III to crash. Use these overlays at your own risk.

Mac
The Restore Hero button does not become available after deleting a hero until leaving and returning to the Select Hero page.Game client window becomes unresponsive when a dialog box is opened in the background.

And I can't believe it's just 3 days left.

No game is ever near perfect on release. No game is ever perfect.



I'm pretty excited for release.


Edit: Amazon spokes person has said that Diablo 3 is the most preordered PC game ever on Amazon.

[eddie291]

Found a bunch of unboxing pics of the CE on reddit...

Looks very well made and put together if you ask me. I can't wait to get mine on Tuesday.

[TBT-Syncro]

new Eu/German download client needed if you've already downloaded the game. (will need this for repair or updates)

http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/blog/4410912/

[VDubby18]

I was going to go the go pick it up at midnight route, but I pre-purchased it through Blizzard a few mins ago. Installing the client now.

[chickenium]

This should be handy

[Lurkin bunny]

All of the cinematics were leaked today. If you're interested go to google and search for d3 ce cinematics. It's a twitch.tv link. 20 mins long. Was definitely worth the watch.
