Mmm, me watches the cinematic trailer and wonders what parts of "Lord of the Rings" and "Middle Earth" they haven't plagiarised :g:

Better a good rip off then a very poor own idea, i dont mind, just hoping they left the necro intact in the game.

A great game and I'm sure DIII will be a good one too.

The trailers didn't steam very well though - anyone else?  Sound and video was very jumpy.

Worked absolutely fine for me last night. Lovely and smooth.

Though my system dos seem to object to playing high quality flash and doing *anything* else at the same time. I can run WoW on monitor #1 and watch youtube vids on #2 no prob, but I dropped to 7fps in game and the video became jerky when I tried to do the same with those vids. Even the little flash ad at the bottom of the MSN client is enough to knock 10-20 fps off my WoWing when it's a busy ad with lots of movement... The DIII vids were fine once I shut WoW though.

Yeah. Did 46 hours straight back then, running on pepsi and peanuts. Amazing it could take that long to make me realise that the game was about hacking and slashing, which was a often a pain, to... get better at hacking and slashing, which got dull when it goes easy, but... uhm...

The video looks really good. I'm just worried if they'll try and WoW it by making you have to subscribe to it etc. That would put me off a little.

Resurrecting this one, D3 will be launching soon.

Who's going to be playing this on an active basis?  Me and Tsuchino will be doing so.

Here's a link (http://daeity.blogspot.com/) that has quite a bit of insider info, and these "leaks" have so far proved to be correct; multiple times.


The real $$ auction house also sounds good, not perfect, but one will be able to make a couple of bucks here and there.

Actually it might be this year, between 30th November to December, or a backup date of January.  (Read that blog, a lot of interesting stuff there)

They pushed the released date to next year, between Q1/Q2. They made a post on the Diablo site also.

They just started the RMAH, which according to certain sources is the thing holding back the release of the game.

In the meantime I downloaded the beta client, and did some "stuff".  Explored a bit the in-game features.  There's a customisable banner system which seems to be account wide.  The action house can also be accessed before actually being in the game itself, I'm calling it a selection screen of sorts.  I'll see about upping some pics.

MP games can either be invite only, realID friends only, or public.  Total of 8 character slots.  Can invite ppl from the selection screen with chat also available.


Anyone has any idea of EU online shops which have the collectors edition available for pre-order?

WOW! just look at her eyes, and skin, realistic much?

Wonder if it is CGI or CMI / CAI (computer manipulated/altered image, as in, keeping some parts real).

Can't wait to play the game :D
