Hi there, Daedalus here... (TL feel free to move this thread to the correct content of the forum).....
I was wandering if DmR was going into Diablo 3? And if so... I want to be there first second when DmR goes into Diablo 3..
Raid on!!!!!
Hope to hear something.
Greets,
D.
I'm definetly grabbing Diablo 3. I've had my CE preordered for a few months now and will be there ready and rolling from (hopefully) the first day :-) Got all my characters' names figured and everything.
But I don't think there's any kind of guild/clan structure in the game is there? There's also not much team/tactical gaming with a competitive/progress element in it. I think this is a precondition for DMR to form a section out of it, if that's what you mean. But someone higher up the ladder would have to confirm that thought, heh.
That of course doesn't mean we can't play together at all :-) As it works via Battle.Net ID like any other Blizzard game, feel free to add me when it goes live!
My Battletag (once it goes live, hopefully before D3 launch): Azunai #2245
Otherwise my RealID: bobbalm88 (at) gmail (dot) com
Azunai, I would love to see you in game.... just as well I want to see old SoG or DmR members.... so we probably all should sign in to one server. From what I have read tonight is that all content is available to a solo toon. So that means that all content can be experienced alone....
About team gaming.. I didn't read about forming guilds or groups from the official pages. From my point of view I just want to level up (or experience the game ) with people I know.... Group up with people I know I can count on etc... I learned from WoW that you better have the right people in your group then the group that thinks its the right group.
My toons will be (if I am fast enough).. Daedalus (Monk), Treasa (Warrior), Aelas (Demon Hunter), Aelae (Wizard) and possibly a toon called Slash (because Gijs will have a toon called Hack.... :P)..
Haha, Hack & Slash, that would be awesome! Ah yes, servers... I thought it was region based (EU, NA, etc.) and you don't join a server, you just start a 'game' and others can join you via RealID, pretty much like Diablo 2. Could be wrong, but I think that's how the social thing is built up.
I'll be on (likewise, provided I'm fast enough):
Torgen (Barb), Garrit (Monk), Azunai (Demon Hunter), Mystraven (Wizard) and Origyn (Witchdoctor), with the Monk being the main toon probably.
Its gona be based as Torgen says and from the forums....You can join a game with You me Tl and Torg and we can go round and kill mobs and gear up quicler...but there will be no "guild" side of things...
It will be just tapping up people who are on....If many peeps are on then mabey a channel in TS could be set up (if not too much trouble) then we could grp up....
I know Whitey has got it on pre-order and so do I.
Quote from: TeaLeaf;345113I know Whitey has got it on pre-order and so do I.
Aye, I'll be happy to team up but be warned I am a Diablo virgin.
I also have it on Pre-order :)
Nice to read.... got the collectors edition pre-ordered..I hope I get it....
Teaming up with guildies makes it so much easier.. I am a diablo fan from day 1..... played D2 many many times with Gijs.....
I think of Diablo 3 as a WoW light version hope to see some group quests.
My main probably will be Monk, then Barbarian and possible a wizard...
Day one claiming ingame names a.s.a.p :P
I'll buy it and play it, but not sure if i'll go seriously into the online side of things yet. Looks very interesting though ;)
played D1 and D2 have a lv 93 pally in d2 lol....got it coming for free from blizz for my yearly sub to wow :)
Cant wait!....just for the way they are changing the bag space more than anything lol....no more organising a 4slot with a 6 slot item with pots lol
Got a preorder waiting ;)
I just landed a D3 beta key through a magazine sweepstakes! Woohoo!
git :P
I just got a beta key from blizzard :D
BattleTag is Lurek#1103, if anyone wants to do some co-op gimme a shout :)
May 15th! *stoked*
Note for Annual pass holders: you can start downloading the game already from your Battle.net account. You download an encrypted version, which you can access the day of release, some 30 minutes before it actually goes live :-)
New computer in 2 weeks, so ill be on time for D3 :-D
Can't wait for it...... pre ordered the collectors edition!!
Guess I know what I will be doing with that spare week of vacation time :D
Going to the bahama's to get a tan?
Will be playing it as well.
Have it on pre-order.
EDIT: Info on the global release times is actually still pending.
And another update: Those who want to earn some nice sigils for their banners ingame, Blizzard is hosting a mini-site promotional thing, featuring one class each week. You can make a banner for that class, and if you enter your account details, the class sigil will be added to your collection upon launch. You can't get these sigils by any other means so if you want to grab them, make sure you enter each week :-) Current one only has 2 days left!

QuoteThis Weekend, Everyone Can Play Diablo III. Even You. And You.
Listen up. From noon on Friday, April 20 (Pacific) until 10:00am (Pacific) on Monday, April 23, Diablo III will be in open beta. Meaning anyone with a valid Battle.net account can get in on the action.
To download the client now ahead of time, click here. Once downloaded and once the weekend rolls around, you'll be able to play all five classes up to level 13.
If you don't have a Battle.net account from WoW or StarCraft II, it's free. You can get that process started here.
Note: the beta is worldwide, the times above are just for reference. So if you're in, say, Australia, it'll run from 5am on Saturday until 3am on Tuesday, April 24.
I'll be playing this as well but same as whitey am fairly new and needing broken into Diablo gently lol
I'll be there to help pop some cherries:

For the European region, the game servers will go live at 00:01 CEST on May 15.

Vladic#2455
Hey Knabbel, Lang geleden :)
I'll be playing it, pre-ordered it, but due to work related trip and a weekend Animecon, I won't play until a week after the release :)
Changed my mind as I have too much to play atm, I have canceled it.

QuoteLong before the creation of Sanctuary, the Eternal Conflict between angels and demons raged on for untold millennia. Blizzard Entertainment teamed up with renowned director Peter Chung and acclaimed animation studio Titmouse to create this unique vision of a fundamental moment in the battle between the High Heavens and the Burning Hells.

Makes no real sense to me as I've not played any of the games, but there ya go.
Quote from: BrotherTobious;350241Changed my mind as I have too much to play atm, I have canceled it.
You'll come around ;-)
For those who were late to the party the first time around, all five class sigils are available for now until the end of next week. You can put these sigils on your ingame banner which is used to represent your character and its progress in the game and on your profile: http://reveal.diablo3.com/en_US/mark_of_valor
Also, as the midnight release approaches rapidly (can't believe it's less than a week now, superstoked!), who here are going to play right off the bat? I was hoping to jump right into the game with 3 fellow DMR folks (max per game is 4 players)... :-)
memememe!! i took 3 days off :D PIIIICCCCCCCCK MEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! /waveeeeeeeeeee
i'll be playing al ready pre ordered via play.com
I will play right away starting after work on the 15th. I have work 15th and 16th so will only be playing from 16:30-23:00 CET those days while I have the day off on 17th and 18th so 17th-20th I will be playing most of the day. I will most likely be wanting to finish normal alone just for the story and the fact that I generally run fast through games like this. But will be available for grouping after that( hoping to finish normal on 16th).
Can't remember the exact battletag at the moment and the site is down for maintanance but it is JanuZ#somenumber, will post full later.
I might just be on from start of play - had a busy week organising a fund raising/end of season event for my football team so am due some time to myself.
Headsup, if you downloaded the game before today, you will have to redownload the thing. Something with the files being incomplete: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/blog/4410912/
Not sure if you have to redownload the whole 7gb again or just the missing ones but you need to run this one at least.
Cheers for that. I downloaded it the beginning of April.
For info....
Quote1. Obtain the new Diablo III digital downloader using the links below
2. Point the download save at the same directory as before
3. If you chose the correct directory only around 65MB will need to be downloaded to fix your install, otherwise you'll re-download the entire ~7.6GB
saw the mesage and have updated my download. Was also wondering if anyone is planing on playing Hardcore right away(need to play to level10 first)? I will play hardcore though I will at least finish a level 60 character first.
New video of the game
[video=youtube;geuAc8F7Gt0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geuAc8F7Gt0&feature=[/video]
Nah, not hardcore right away for me tbh. Probably going to finish Inferno first.
Dowloaded it this morning, I didn't even have time to drink my tea before it was ready. Damn I love fibre.
Downloading now almost on 500mb already.. so should be done when i wake up tomorrow :-p
Cu all tomorrow at 23:55 :P
I didn't fancy paying Blizzard prices for the download. Come on Amazon, don't let me down...
dispatched :) like Tutonic, Amazon best not dissappointment
Here is my battleTag: JanuZ#2628
9minutes until the installer unlocks. Btw here (http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/pre-download-diablo-iii) are links to the installer that you can use even if you are getting a retail copy
http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/blueposts-on-uninstall-and-amd-issues#more-19417 - some info of known issues with the game( AMD graphics cards) and uninstalling the beta client.
Also just want to remind people to not post spoilers here and preferably not talk about the story on TS for the next few days.
Then the Diablo chanell is not the place for you if you dont want any spoilers seeing there will be people in there playing and discussing the game :P
I am fine with talking about the game, I am not fine with people one act in front of everyone else talking about the story. Talking about class skills, gear, how to level and such is fine. Besides I mention this mostly for others since I am expecting to finish Normal Tomorrow or few hours after work on 16th, depending on how much I bother reading chat with NPCs.
BTW game installed and intro watched. Just a reminder to people to change the region in the options before logging in tomorrow.
ill be playing from midnight, anyone else?
Quote from: Tutonic;350786I didn't fancy paying Blizzard prices for the download. Come on Amazon, don't let me down...
They already sent my package to amazon.com netherlands :D
Thank you amazon.co.uk! :D
I might already have it tomorrow after noonish :D
Ducky#2970
Get ready to pwn :D
On the plus side, my copy has just arrived and is sat on my desk.
Unfortunately, I'm at work. Curses.
What are people going for first up? I'm thinking Witch Doctor, because summoning giant toads that swallow people looks hilarious.
I will be playing Demon hunter. I like the mobility, dual wield crossbows and the fact that it is the least played class.
Roommate just dropped off my CE, good man! Upgraded now so goodies incoming! Hubbah, Sharp and me played til 6:30 or so, halfway through Act II, lvl 17ish. I was drunk off my feet of course so I don't remember any of the story though :< But this game is definetly the dog's ********, as you guys say :-)
what time did you get online? I was hoping for finishing 3 acts in about 8 hours today.
Switch#2385
Played last night for about a hour as i had to get up at 5.30....but now i am home and once ive done some invoicing i will be on :)
Started a witch doctor which is quite fun,only low lvled but....
Quote from: Drazila;350873what time did you get online? I was hoping for finishing 3 acts in about 8 hours today.
Played 3 hours and 30 minutes on the monk, we're a bit into Act 2 now. Got online at 2-ish I think.
As for the classes I'm playing... atm the highest lvl is monk but I'm trying to play with friends so lvling various toons atm. Got an 11 Barb as well now.
I'm going to cover up my jealousy by saying: Get a job!
only about 1hour 15minutes until I can finally Log in
Azunai: Ok that seems to fit my expected finish of 8hours clearing 3 acts or more, though no way to be sure until end of the day.

Just wait for me. The game should be installed by the time I get hime ;)
Little logging in trick for anyone having problems logging in. (it's the old battle.net trick)
1) Log in.
2) On the "Connecting" message hit Cancel.
3) Log in again.
4) Enjoy your game.
got kicked off earlier, now im stuck at authenticating
edit: your trick doesnt work treach :(
edit: now im actually in the char screen, but cant resume game or start further back, this blows!
Varg#2301
Got online just before midnight and played until 2am then i was forced to go to bed as i was up at 6.30 for work >,<
Started a wizard and got her to level 8 before bed.
"The servers are busy at this time, please try again later"
Sigh.
Got to level25 and finished 3/10ths of Act3 Normal. Here are a few tips for the early levels.
- Items with +damage on them are very powerful early on and a ring with +2-4 damage can double your DPS at level 6. One amulet with +3-6 damage increased my DPS from 230 to 260 at level 24.
- You can buy level6 rings from a vendor farthest away from the center, they cost about 2100-2400g a piece and quite often have +2-4 damage.
- Even though it might be tempting to stack up on your primary stat at every gear slot. Remember that Vitality is what gives you health and it doesn't go very fast up, try to balance primary stat and vitality.
- Level up your blacksmith but don't waste money on unneeded items or leveling him far ahead of your own level.
- Items that are good to craft are the first shoulder item, first class specific weapon/offhand and the first yellow item. Other items that are decent are any Yellow Item or blue items with 3 random mods.
- Make sure to have an AoE spell, Single Target spell, some defensive spells and one get the heck away spell( doesn't have to be a movement spell could also be frost nova or knockbacks or such.
- Don't try skipping packs, it is very easy to get cornered in some dungeons and while the pack may be easy it makes the champion or rare pack right behind him very hard.
Great tips Drazila !
I`m still on act one, just kill the Skelly king, so i have some way to go !
Other than uni, and beta testing wow, and now firefall... there`s a limit to my ability ! Damn time constraints !
How many acts are there? Based on how long each act is taking you, how many hours of gameplay would you estimate there are?
There are 4 acts, but after finishing it on normal, you have to do it on nightmare, then Hell and then Inferno.
you get to about level 35 when finishing Normal, 50-55 in Nightmare 60 in Hell and then Inferno is more like raid content for max level.
I played about 7 hours 30minutes yesterday, so just over 3 hours per act. Should be able to finish Normal and maybe Act1 Nightmare today. I expect that I can keep about the same pace through Nightmare and then slightly slower in Hell. Blizzard has reported that they expect it to take months to finish Inferno because you will need to do some extra playing in Hell just to get the gear to survive Act1. There are 3 Tiers of gear available in Inferno.
I think a more normal play time will be about 4-5 hours per act with some people going up to 6-7. I just play through the quests. I go into every extra cave I see, but I don't explore much extra and I take an exit to next level as soon as I see it to avoid backtracking. I do listen to quests though I sometimes click through it if I have finished reading the text before the NPCs finish talking.
But the higher levels are just playing the same game through again but at a higher difficulty are they not? Or is it different environments?
same story, though the layout is random and there should be new abilities, at least on the random boss packs. If it is anything like Diablo 2 it will also be multiple abilities on packs in later difficulties. Also there are alot of random events that don't spawn on every playthrough, for example in the beta there were 2 events that could spawn in the Crypts but it was random if they spawned or not.
Personally I don't really consider the game starting until later difficulties, Diablo type games have seldom been about the story and more about challenge, replayability and items. Though I have been impressed with the story so far.
I just finished act 1 last night. hoping to be able to do some multiplayer tonight though act 2 :)
I wonder if Torchlight 2 will have the same connection issu... OH WAIT! #Iamamassivehipster
Lumi#2993
cant beat that...there is something about diablo that just keeps you going....im enjoying the lore atm but once ive completed on normal the real grind will begin :)
Quote from: Gunnzie;350928But the higher levels are just playing the same game through again but at a higher difficulty are they not? Or is it different environments?
Consider normal difficulty the tutorial/lore briefing and Nightmare a good first taste. Hell and Inferno is where it's at, both in terms of challenge and decent items :-)
Also, yes, Blue and yellow mobs will have 1 extra ability per difficulty lvl. So 4 on Inferno! And already in Nightmare they can be a right pita.
You can say that again. I am fighting a Yellow Dune stinger ( those that spit poison wasps ) with Waller Frozen and right beside him was a blue group of same mob with illusionist and jailer. Had a purple close by with Molten.

Jamoe#2479 (when I managed to install the game :/)
Goodluck doing act 3 on nightmare if your steaming trew.. i cant even kill the firstpack of mobs because i got 2 shot.
I'm Tutonic#2521
I feel I need to point out that Diablo 3 seems to default tothe US servers. Please make sure you change it to EU servers in the game options or you;re gonna have a bad time.
Been reading lots of bad reviews on this game!
Should I buy it?
If you like Diablo, then you'll enjoy it - its more of the same but with bells on.

if you played and enjoyed Diablo 2, you will enjoy this
and even if you didnt play Diablo 2 you will probably enjoy it
Quick note (since apparently so many people don't know about this, according to forums): Remember to turn ON Elective mode. It lets you put any skill anywhere on your bars, rather than being restricted to the categories made by Blizzard. So not only can you choose which skill goes where, it also allows you to have multiple skills of the same category on your bars at once. Kind of a no-brainer, especially for those who are used to WoW, and arguably this should be on by default, but just figured I'd mention it :-)
In the same vein, turn on Advanced Tooltips to see the exact damage numbers on skills rather than just a general description.
Secret cow level....
Well by now most of you may know something about this...
After watching the video.. i was... stunned !
SPOILER ALERT
Do not watch if you cant afford therapy...
