I will do some co-op tomorrow. I wanted to check the game out by myself to see how it was tonight. I am loving it. I was loving it until the server disconnected me right after I finished a quest. It was time for me to go to bed anyway, I guess. Man it was fun!

Actually with my internet it'll finish downloading by next week. But if someone wants to gift me a guest pass I would appreciate it. Get a chance to play before half the people give it up.

Yeah, it makes sense to just have one guy in your crew upgrade the forge, I'm not sure if there's a good way to funnel money to him. Then he can craft everything and give what everyone else needs out

Anyone know if I downloaded the beta can I just update from that and avoid downloading everything?

And thanks to Somnia I'll be unable to play just like everyone else.

Nah...it's actually best to uninstall and remove all those files before installing the retail client.

Yeah, it's going to make dying even more painful. I hope you can name your dog too, and you have to feed it. That way people will come up on you and just shoot your dog just to be jerks

Lets just say I'm never going to Cherno or Electro. No one better mess with my dog. That's low, even for bandits. Maybe they'll add packs for dogs so they can carry items but it'll increase their hunger and decrease their speed.

Earlier I was playing and I lost my rifle, and all of my food/drinks and any stuff that appeared in that item box. Only had my Pistol, pistol ammo, bandages, and tools left. Even my backpack vanished. It happened right as I was swimming through some water. So now I'm stuck right outside Cherno with just a pistol and the zombies spawns are crazy now.

Why waste your time on a SP character that you could never transfer to the online portion ala D2?

This will be a total non issue by tomorrow probably, the overreaction has been hilarious.

Nah...BLOPs had issues for weeks when it came to playing with friends, Gears of War 2 was completely broken at launch when it came to finding matches, BF3 was a mess for a while when it came to playing with friends. Happens all the time to high profile titles, and honestly, after the open beta killed the servers, I kind of saw this coming.

As others have said, if it keeps the games economy in check & keeps people from hacking it to hell and back like D2, one day of bad servers is totally worth it in the long run.

How would the game handle if I joined you guys while being low level? I'm not going to have much of a chance to play until this weekend and I don't want to get fucked like on Final Fantasy whatever the one online was where if I was like 2 levels below guys I played with I got shit EXP. It completely killed the game, I might as well have been playing single player the whole way through.

Well at least I'm like level 3 now. :(

EXP chart basics:
If the level difference is less than 5, there is no penalty
if the level difference is between 5-10, there is a small penalty (10%, 20%, 30%,...)
If the level difference is more than 10, you'll only receive 5% experience (95% penalty)

I know what you mean. I'm going to be that guy that gets left behind.

I'm a level 14 Witch Doctor though. I also believe I am on the last boss of Act I.

Anecdote about XP deltas:
  • I started a character last night
  • At level 4, a buddy joined (he was level 1)
  • He left as that character hit 3 and I was 5
  • He rejoined on another character 1
  • I reached 7 and he was 5
  • Another buddy joined at level 1
  • (7, 5, 1)
  • Another buddy joined, he was 11
  • (11, 8, 6, 3)
  • The level 3 went and swapped to his Wizard (11) and by the end of the night we were all between 11-13

tl;dr version

D3- at low levels - naturally did a good job at closing the gap between folks
