Ah? Possible, it was still 20+20 when I bought them a couple of months ago. They probably lowered it for D3.
Honestly, that's about the only thing I can think of for not allowing the transparent overlay.
I dunno now. Kripp's stream commentary is guessing at Athene's progress despite there being a stream? I have no idea what is going on?!

Either use the portal icon in your UI, or if you haven't gotten it yet, deal with it, you'll hit a waypoint in a few minutes.

Another silly question...whats the point of throwing down your sigil outside of town if people can already warp to your immediate location? Oh, and how do you get rid of all the events in the chat window? I don't wanna see all that stuff.

how do i identify items? (Rare)
I kind suspeced Athene would do better. I feel like Kripp focused on data and statistics that wouldn't really give much of an edge. Still anything could happen, but I think if they both stay strong Athene will pull this one out.
Right click

Right click.
I'm apparently 3 hours 50 minutes in and I just finished the 1st quest after where the beta ended. I'm at level 10. Looks like that's slow for a lot of people, but I'm taking my time and enjoying it.
So far, there is literally nothing about this game that I do not like.

What I do like:
- The witch doctor is awesome. His skills are just so over the top and weird. It's like the looked at the Necromancer from Diablo 2 and said "Let's turn it up to 11." Good stuff!
- The auto-identify function is nice.
- Ditto for the free Town Portal spell.
- Artisan is already helpful, even in the initial stages. Leveling him up is a fun reward system.
- I like the more in-depth look at followers/hirelings.
- New skill/rune system is nice. Gives me lots of options and allows me to really mess around with different combos.
- This really scratches the loot-whore itch that Torchlight didn't quite get for me. And I played a lot of Torchlight. So much loot!
- It looks really, really nice. I especially like how they did the trees.
- It's running butter smooth on my PC at max settings.

Great impressions man, I can't wait to get into it after work
My inner math nerd is sad right now.
Most the numbers I saw him go through weren't actually useful data for progression anyway, just neat tips
I also think Athene started an entire region ahead of Kripp so I think the A2 NM progress is a bit off? Honestly, I have no idea. And now I'm off to work so no more streams for me~
Beh, they're taking away basic functionality to force players to play a certain way, which isn't cool. And it particularly sucks for replays. At some point you've seen the environments a bunch of times and simply want to be more efficient in getting through levels.
A transparent overlay is an effective thing to have (especially at higher resolutions where it can take up a fairly small amount of screen space). Ultimately it should be in the hands of the players anyway. If some players just want to stare at a map the entire time, they should be able to.
I shouldn't have pre-installed. I looked at that 100% as I was getting ready for work this morning. If I hadn't just started this job 3 weeks ago I would be so incredibly sick right now. Sorry boss it may be a 2 day thing.
But no. I'm here at work reading GAF. This is going to be a long 9 hours.
So if you are playing right now, us old losers at work hate you. Just wanted you to know.

Yep. Both bestbuys in my area have 10 copies each. I got my D3 via the WoW Pass but I think I'll snag one for my other gaming PC and get my Daughter hooked on D3, that way I'll always have a gaming buddy

Work today will be hard enough. My CE should be waiting for me when i get home though, not calling in sick tomorrow is going to be rather difficult i think and Thursday and Friday.......
*cradles you in his arms* There there. I'm at work for 9 hours too. Think Scy is as well.
Together we will get through this.

Speaking of identifying items, I'm surprised you still have to do it in the final game. I always thought it was a bug in the beta that you still had to do it even after they took out the identify scroll.
What's the point if you don't have the scroll mechanic? I just don't see any real use for that.

But you could say that people would be compelled to play that way (with the map always open), at least on replays, because it's more "efficient". It's sort of a lose-lose.
Like getting a present, then also unwrapping it. Double the fun.
This!

I agree. This seems a bit...dumb.
The only thing I can think of is for selling items on the AH. Gives people a chance to "roll" for better stats like the old gambling system in D2.

Well, got my trial edition code last night and started downloading it. Launched it this morning when it just hit "optimal", and, as expected, it runs like ass at my display's native resolution. Thinking I'll have to reduce that to get a smooth experience.
Gotta go to work now, but I'll be back in 9 hours to tweak things.

Auction house. You can sell an unidentified item correct? That way you can have a gamble auction.
Just right click the object and it identifies stuff. Yeah, it seems odd having it without actually using scrolls. Maybe they could add a scroll that gives you a higher chance or getting something better once identified.
