Diablo III - General Discussion Thread

Thanks to Murph and Omega I got a guest pass, and was able to start playing the starter edition this evening. Man, I love this game, and hope that I win the comp. The only lag I see now is when I fire off spells. :)
 
eish finally finished normal with my demon hunter on level 32 ... it was no easy task, diablo literally made me his bitch like 5 or 6 times
 
The gang :D

Started a second hero to play with some guys who started yesterday. The Witch Doctor is kinda fun to play. Throwing spiders and shit all over the place.

Why couldnt you play on the release you dont even need a key for the starter edition :D

Lost count how many times I have to repeat this on Mybb etc.
 
Wow, unplayable lag again tonight. Thanks Blizz.

Also, thank you for being so transparent about the issues on your forums. Oh, wait, no. That's only the US forums. They're pretty much ignoring the EU crowd.
 
Mine's not gone under 700 all night. It was perfectly fine this afternoon, it's just now that the servers are busy that it's unplayable again. Tried with other ISP accounts as well, same issue. Getting normal pings to other games, just Diablo 3 that's got this issue.

This is the fourth night in a row for me where the game is playable during the day, but pings get awful once the servers come under strain. Not a nice first week of playing the game.
 
all i can say is ... nightmare is were the real game begins

i notice that the skeleton heroes protecting the quests "Beacon of Honor from Warrior's Rest and the Beacon of Light from the Crypt of the Ancients" are pretty evil in nightmare (more the melee one) ... dont know how everyone else feels about that, but i consider this a "beware area" :D

played in a public game and the creeps pushed back to the cave entrances so if you spawn at last checkpoint you would probably just take a beating again

Nothing to do with Blizzard. Me and Grimspoon played form 8pm sa time to almost midnight with a voice skype call going the entire time and at no point did either of us encounter ANY lag whatsoever.

We have played every night since wednesday (with skype open) and not once did we get any sort of lag.
 
I also didn't have latency issues at all yesterday. It seems pretty stable these days though the ping is higher in the evenings.

Whew I'm finding Nightmare quite difficult. It's a big step up from normal difficulty. In normal, the only times I died was because of lag spikes. In Nightmare I died because I was owned! Haha. I must really get my resistances up since I'm struggling especially against poison attacks.

Question time though. The blacksmith, does he make level appropriate items? Is it like Diablo II's gambling where the item stats that are displayed before buying are vastly different to what you get when you buy it? Or is it only the extra magical abilities that are random?
 
well for me the items use to scale well in normal difficulty but now in nightmare it isn't sufficient for me ... the rare items have too little base stats for my level.

The base stats are displayed but the extra effects are random.
