Not sure, I haven't even used my beta key because i don't want to hate it. I will buy it and hope for the best. I bought the original diablo the day it came out and preordered diablo 2 Collectors edition. I'm just not sure this will be the same since it's an entirely different set of developers.

Give me that key then! I'll use the sob!

Heh, I have several friends using it. I'll see what I can do. Bliz will probably ban my account, lolz.

I pre-ordered Diablo 2 and the damn Fed Ex man tried to deliver it signature-required while I wasn't home.

I chased the ****er all the way across town and got it straight from the back of his truck. :D

If you buy an Annual Pass to World of Warcraft....you get a free digital download of Diablo 3.


Yeah....I have a family....no thanks.

I remember having similar problems, I'm sure fedex hated me for calling them every 5 mins. I remember it came out in July and it was really hot outside, other than that i don't remember much.

Well, there goes my summer.

Well ****. I'm pumped.

Let's do this.

x2

I'm so freaking pumped. I've only been waiting for this for 10 or so years.

People hit me up. I'll play.

Who preordered this?

I've never pre ordered anything. Where's the best place to preorder and make sure i get it that day? Amazon?

I've never pre ordered something just because I believe 95% of the time I can pick it up the day of.

Why let them draw interest of me.

Looks like one option you have to preorder is here

Whenever I pre-order something.....I usually do it at Gamestop. It's easier for me because I can swing by after work and pick it up there.

Amazon has been the best in my experience. The $20 bonus they give you on some games is ****ing awesome.

Hello,

We now have delivery date(s) for the order you placed on December 29, 2011

"Diablo III: Standard Edition"
Estimated arrival date: May 22, 2012 - May 26, 2012

i think i might be canceling my pre order. that is way to long to wait for my copy. i don't know if it will really take that long or not. but that is the email i got from them yesterday

i think the best option is to just buy the digital copy from blizzard. unless you want the box. i kinda want the box myself which is why i didn't do the digital download. so as long as you don't care about having the box just buy the game right from blizzard. you can download the launcher already if you do

Well shit. I kinda wanted the box and the little shit with it.... ****ing amazon.

I thought it was guaranteed that day!?!?

i don't know dawg. i honestly expected it to be delivered on the release date. i thought they would have the game for weeks before the release date so i don't see why it would take so long to get here. the date the sent me is as if they are mailing it out on the 15th. i'm not to happy with the date so i'm still not sure what i will do

Sometimes you just have to pay a little extra for the release day delivery.

Somehow i don't think that they are going to do the $20 discount on DIII.

They've done on huge releases before. It's not like they only do that for obscure titles.

Damn I'm late as hell to the party and just realized D3 finally has a release date. This will be a Day 1 pick up for me.

Probably going to slap this on as I still don't like the more colorful style of D3.

wow ... DIII is looking a lot like Titan Quest


:spock:

Titan quest looks alot like Diablo is what you meant to say.

**** man....now I have to spend the next month figuring out what character I'm going to start off as.

Is anyone buying the collectors edition?

I'm going to play several different ones I'm sure.

I'm interested in playing the Wizard, barb, and demon hunter.

The recent footage of the demon hunter I've seen has really peaked my interest.


The witch doctor looks weak, and the monk looks pathetic and boring.

Yeah....I think I'll probably start off two characters (Barbarian and Demon Hunter). I hardly EVER play the Wizard type characters.

I'm just happy that I have a bad ass work computer and an IT tech that doesn't ****ing give a shit.

I know how my lunch hours are going to be spent for the next year.

fair point

it just seems like DIII looks more like TQ than DII

I have to admit it looks like lots of fun....but only because Torchlight 2/Grim Dawn aren't out yet. ;)

I'd gladly kill some shit with you if you ever get a chance to play at night.

I know our lunch hours don't line up otherwise I'd play with you over noon.

It'll be some time before I can play at night. I'm in the process of saving up money for a new laptop or desktop.

if ya need a wizard let me know, i'm game after 10pm weeknights. ;)

Two wizards make a right!

Titan Quest was so meh though

I'm still playing Starcraft II religiously - but I'm sure I'll take some time out for Diablo if my computer will handle it.

Loved the tit quest, fun to go back to as well especially with all the mods available for it.

thank ****ing jesus

Big Diablo fan?

yes...I don't play many games as I have neither the patience or skill

diablo is the perfect combo of style with button mashing...

I have the patience but the reflexes are waning as the years of wear and tear on the brain start to catch up with me. :)

I play puzzle games and RPGs now more than anything else. Haven't played a sports game or FPS in years...

same here...i play rpgs usually a year after they come out, like dragon age I/II

and i play those in button mashing style

i never had the patience for fps...dying and starting over, no thanks

Very cool.

I've spent more time on Diablo 2 than probably any other game I've ever played. Lotta late nights farming for gear and dueling.


I'm thinking I'm going to have to start a CP clan once this shit get's going. We'll be feared for 10's of miles.

i've noticed this myself

My eye/hand coordination is slipping away and i have to outsmart the brats to beat them nowadays. :(

I think it has to do with concentration. As a kid, i concentrated like a sob on games, because that's all that was going on. I didn't worry about other shit. I literally was completely into the game.

Now when i play games i think about all the other shit i should be doing instead. Kills my focus.

Although, when D3 comes out, **** the real world. I'm gonna dominate that shit.

I think it's more than just focus, although focus and practice time certainly contribute to the decline.

For me it's more about the self-inflicted brain damage finally catching up to me. :D

:bong::BLVD:

I believe you.


















LMAO

Do any of you ****ers know how/if we can create clans?

They talked like that was a feature that wasn't going to be implemented on release, but that was clear back in september.

Anyone know if they changed that and if we can create clans now?

hell ... even my memory has started to go. :sulk:

For example, I sat and stared at this post for almost 3 minutes. I still don't know what it means.

Yes.

I'm pumped about this game man.


I've been waiting to show you guys this, but I've been working on it forever. My buddy did the design and I had to leave SD to get it worked on. But I've very very happy with how Tyrael came out. Part 2 of the tattoo will be coming soon i hope!


http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/2...part1large.jpg

LMAO

I figured I'd get some disbelief, but i really like it. It's my 2nd tattoo. I'm going to add a sleeve eventually i think. Those are easy to hide under a dress shirt.

I'm stoked.

It looks like a good tattoo........I just never know if you're trolling or not.

Color or B/W?

The Original idea was for black and white with heavy shading since he's a mostly white character, but I think I'm going to talk him (the tattoo guy mostly does B/W) into a few colors.

Noone knows?

I Want my SOJ now!!!

My god that seems like 20 yrs ago now.

http://www.d2mule.com/upfiles/onestoneofjordan(1).jpg

there will be no clan support at launch. but they have said it is something they would like to look into. right now chat on the whole is a joke. they need to add improvements to battlenet 2.0 before the games can really even look into adding support for clans an more chat options. thats about all i remember them saying on the topic dawg.

I made some nice money selling those on eBay when I was 16. God, those days were awesome.

Thanks buddy.

You get a beta yet?

I remember 6-7 of those would buy you a SoulScratch Executioner sword back in the day.

It should seem like it was 20 years ago. It was 12 years ago! :)

Iso: 8% windforce... FT: 40 sojs. :)

This was my favorite ring...

Looks like a silence Ith'd

hell no i don't got beta yet. blizzard hates me

you guys traded for items in d2? you should of used d2jsp. it was so much better for trading.

http://www.pathofexile.com/

Path of Exile is running a beta stress test this weekend. It is a pretty damn decent diablo clone so far.

Still have 25k fg left on jsp, pretty much useless other than trading for ingame palladium in Hellgate London.

hey ... that's not bad.

I played it for a couple of hours, it's a nice way to wet your appetite for DIII.

Indeed. I installed it this morning with the intention of just taking a look around. Next thing I knew it was 5 hours later, and I was almost done with Act 1.

does using the skill provided by the gems level up the gem?

holy skill tree, batman

:eek:

talk about synergies and the need to plan your character out

Yep. People were saying how its kind of like the Materia system from FF7. It gets to a certain point that you have to decide to stop leveling the gems due to mana cost efficiency. (you manually increase their level after gaining enough exp by clicking in the inventory)

why do you have to click the little X to upgrade the gems?

It must cost something and i'm just not seeing it.
