Looks boring.

i love seals, they're easily some of the funniest creatures I've had the pleasure of annoying.

especially when they rub up against your leg in murky water then pop up in front of you and make you fall off your board cause you shit your pants so hard.

anyone else rocking out to the installer music right now?

Installing as we speak....Anyone try the open beta?

Played the beta, loved it. Barb is OP, in the early game at least.

For anyone looking for people to play with on a steady basis, a bunch of people from SuaP/Vp are starting up a guild so we will be D3ing it up hard the next few weeks.

Game looks like gook central...nopenopenopenopenopenope

Umm, it's spring/summer...



Enjoy your robes and wizard hats.

Ya... I'm that excited.

Except for every 50th try I would authenticate only to time out when retrieving my character list......Did anyone else think "why am i doing this?" while constantly spamming to log in?

Cleared act 2 before heading to work. Great game so far. I was planning on skipping cinematics like almost every game, but just couldn't. Incredible story and scenes and the character art is ridiculously good.

I have no idea. I never played the other diablo games. It's pretty fun as a single player story, but is good co-op'ing with other people. I think the only downside to playing casually is that items you loot will be worth less than they were 2 weeks earlier, etc.

diablo3 is only multiplayer

fucking god damn. i go to work in an hour and i've only been able to play for like 20 minutes before getting booted and not being able to log in. shits weak.

Sums up my attitude for this...

I've heard the game is pretty bad.

Confirm/Deny?

It would seem that all the negative reviews stem from the service issues at launch.

Regardless of what people like to believe, the amount of people trying to dl/play at launch would cause issues for anyone so I am going to hold judgement till I actually can play the game without hiccups.

Deny. Game is pretty tits.

I had D1/D2+LoD but never really got into it. D3 is awesome though.

Fragged diablo this morning on normal. dropped so much loots. I think dsnipes is about to finish nightmare.

Lvl 33 DH and I'm almost finished with Nightmare Act 1, and I've gotta say, this game is fantastic. It's also just so much better with a full too.. sharing the loot specified for your each char respectively makes it so much more fun.

25 barb, i was getting really frustrated on act one, but once I got regen skills - i'm pretty much blowing through everything without dying. Looking forward to nightmare (I think?)

Level 17 Barb.. So it's not just me then... Good to hear! I was almost at the point of giving up on the damn thing.. Just started act 2 and seem to get wtf pwned at any given moment..

I've played about 1 hour total, I'm a level 7 Demon Hunter.

I enjoy exploring all of the maps and use Piercing Arrow to generate rage. You can find me at OKCupid.com

So, I think the key to playing barb is to stack def stats (vitality, armor, resist, str) and use enchantress or scoundrel to do damage. I was going with damage thinking that a shield would be enough reduction, then I noticed that switching one item from str primary to vit primary boosted my hp by like 25%. Didn't have a problem with str primary in normal, but I was getting dumped on in nightmare and definitely needed to switch to higher hp and less damage.
Honestly, haven't even tried dual-wield/2h with templar because the thing was pretty worthless when I tried to use it.

Look up tank builds, I'm using one night now and rarely die. I

Once you hit level 24 as a barbarian, its smooth sailing from that point on.

Primary: Frenzy with Triumph rune.
Secondary: Rend with Blood Lust rune.
Defensive: Ignore Pain
Might: Revenge with Vengeance is Mine rune.
Tactics: Threatening Shout with Intimidate rune.
Rage: Earthquake.

Passive Skills: Bloodthirst and Inspiring Presence.

The self healing from this build is extremely amazing.

-Keeping up rend on trash packs to gain the most out of Blood Lust.
-Frenzy spam to gain the 8% health over six seconds.
-Revenge when its procced(use it situational, pointless to use on one target if you have a pack coming up with 4+ mobs, you net more health hitting 4 targets)
-Threatening Shout on large mob packs and with Inspiring Presence, you're gaining 1% of your health every second.

Currently running that build with two one handers since I'm still rolling in non-nightmare mode at the moment but nightmare will require you to run a shield and a one hander. From 52-60, you'll want to run;

Primary: Frenzy with Triumph rune.
Secondary: Rend with Blood Lust rune.
Defensive: Ignore Pain with Ignorance is Bliss rune.
Might: Revenge with Provocation rune.
Tactics: War Cry with Invigorate rune.
Rage: Wrath of the Berserker with Striding Giant rune.

also picking up, Nerves of Steel as your third passive skill.

Once you reach 60, you basically have the choice between a heavy self healing build or running a lighter self healing build and picking up a lot of dodge talents from runes and picking up Tough as Nails. This will make you avoid most damage and you are able to swap out some healing talents for more damage.
