If that's going to go in the OT, wouldn't it make sense to include time zones? Either way: Number45#2935 (I really wish we didn't need the # number)

I'll be updating the spreadsheet to include Favorite Class and Location columns within the next week right now.

I'm trying to launch the installer but I keep having this : It froze here. Any advice ?

I got that and downloaded the EU installer instead which worked great.

Changed from English(US) to EU

[Shahadan]

Again, just do a search for any file named battle.net and agent.exe and delete everything. Be sure to close everything blizzard/agent related before that.

Once it is done, restart the launcher.

Uninstalling/installing again also helps.

[Tacitus_]

I'll be Tacitus#2849, playing on EU times. Though I'll probably play the first time alone so I can read the quests properly.

[stupei]

Wow, I picked the perfect morning to wake up earlier than usual for work. (But with my luck the download will finish just in time for me to NOT play before work.)

All the same, thanks for the heads up, OP.

[T.O.P]

Will download as soon as i get off work, gonna have fun tonight <3

[FieryBalrog]

Just started 2 minutes ago, already at 10%.

Nice.

[Backfoggen]

Great I just deleted the client.

[Torraz]

Wonderful birthday present!

Luckily I downlaoded the client during the mishap a day or two ago.

[NIN90]

Great I just deleted the client.

System Recovery

[RoadHazard]

Cool, really wanted to try this before buying. Downloading the client from the launcher now! Was slow at first, but now it's steadily downloading at 3-4 MB/s, so this will be done in no time.

[Vitet]

[HolyCheck]

why cant this be now :( i want to play it now.. damn you america for being in a different time zone

[GasProblem]

What time does the open beta start in CET?

[NIN90]

So 12:01 PDT is in 9 hours, yes?

[Ikuu]

What time does the open beta start in CET?

9pm I believe.

[Fjordson]

Just heard about this. The gods are good.

I think Witcher 2, Trials Evolution, and Fez might all have to take a backseat...

[GasProblem]

9pm I believe. http://www.timeanddate.com/worldcloc...0420T12&p1=137

Thanks!

This is going to be a great evening (if the servers hold up and I don't have extreme rubberbanding)

[RoadHazard]

Client downloaded and ready to go, just have to wait for 8+ hours then...

So I haven't actually played a Blizzard game since before they made their huge revision to Battle.net, so I haven't made a Battle.net account yet. In the meantime, I remember seeing a controversy about whether or not it would display your real name, and I saw a screenshot of Diablo III's main menu, where it was showing the real names of other players. If I was to make an account now, is there any way that my real name would be shown to anyone without me allowing it on an individual basis?

[Lain]

Well, I fixed my problem by moving the installation directory, restarting the installation and then copying everything over. Now I'm ready again.

I'm not 100% familiar, but to stem your fears your real name will only be visible to friends you add via email address, not people you add via in game names / codes!

some one here will be able to detail it properly though

RealID (ie, your name) is approved on an individual basis and both sides have to approve of it. You have to trade emails to enable it or allow B.Net to scan your FB profile for hits.

[Xdrive05]

FML. I'm away from home all weekend. Goddamnit.

[strafer]

How big is the client?

[Bullza2o]

Thank you Blizzard! An awesome early birthday present for me! (4/30)

Great I just deleted the client.

Same here haha. No problem though, my internet is pretty fast.

[Twinduct]

Gah was hoping they would enable the EU server. Dang 3003 error :<

[syoaran]

Downloaded and installed. My body is now ready!

[Tacitus_]

How big is the client?

4.76 gigs installed.

[cripterion]

So wait, there's no single mention of Japan, does that mean I can play like the normal people?

[strafer]

Sucks that you can't start playing right away. :(

[Castor Krieg]

Did they do stress test of their games before? How did it go? My guess is on servers crashing like crazy at 9pm.

[2San]

Thanks for mentioning this. Definitely wanted to try this. I'm also playing the TERA OB though. :|

[Torraz]

Hopefully a few hours this weekend will be decently playable without constantly crashing servers. Would love to try some of the classes for a bit.

[Winnie the Pimp]

wait so you're saying this is JUST for US or does EU get this open beta as well?

[Belgorim]

wait so you're saying this is JUST for US or does EU get this open beta as well?

EU gets it, but all servers are in the US for the beta, so you play with higher ping.

[Torraz]

wait so you're saying this is JUST for US or does EU get this open beta as well?

EU apparently starts at the same time as US, so at 20.00 GMT+2. While in PDT terms its at the middle of the day, in the EU its more along the end of the day, at least that's what's being reported!

[Winnie the Pimp]

EU gets it, but all servers are in the US for the beta, so you play with higher ping.

didn't know this, so how the hell are they gonna strest test the actual EU servers for the game then?

[MasLegio]

why the fuck wont the install client let me decide where to install the game?!

[Tacitus_]

why the fuck wont the install client let me decide where to install the game?!

Cos you're failing. Mine installed just fine to a custom location.

[MasLegio]

where?

no mention of setup path in my install

Ah ok. Thanks. Really looking forward to seeing how much of a difference it makes!

[Castor Krieg]

Didn't they say two days ago the beta is now running on live servers?

[Winnie the Pimp]

So just having a Blizz account is enough? No need to even preorder the game then?

[Twinduct]

Didn't they say two days ago the beta is now running on live servers?

Not sure about that, but if you pick any other server (other than 'the Americas') you get a 3003 error.

[Belgorim]

I would assume they use the same hardware/software as the US servers?

Didn't they say two days ago the beta is now running on live servers?

Yeah, as stated above, there has been no play on europe servers so far. Maybe it changes this weekend though.

[Tacitus_]

[RoadHazard]

Isn't that because the open beta hasn't actually started yet?

[Lain]

It asks before you start installing, when you have to scroll down to accept the terms before you can install. At the top there is the directory where it will install and on the right the change button to specify another location. At least on Windows PC.

[Winnie the Pimp]

alright i have no clue if this is gonna work for EU but i am downloading the client now as we speak, we shall see...

Even if it DOES use US servers, will the higher ping be constantly there or only in relation to other players if i play multi? (not sure how this works at all)
