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.

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 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?
