Also, last night I started playing again and was leveling a wizard, around level 20+ and I noticed I could select any of the difficulties. Can I play on hard at my level for example? Didn't look into it but I would think you would level up faster but then wouldn't the game be too hard?

Hard is fine :)

For the digital purchase, I had no tax charged. Or maybe because I used bnet balance. But I believe someone else mentioned no tax as well when they purchased.

no tax on digital blizzard purchases in the US. The only exceptions I could think of are maybe states where Activision and/or Blizzard are headquartered (can someone from California chime in?)

I'm in Toronto. Maybe it's different when you're paying via cc/paypal compared to bnet balance.

Did Soul Harvest fall out of favor in the witch doctor community? I rarely see it in builds anymore. I just added it to my build to boost my dps. Did it get replaced by Big Bad Voodoo as the go to damage buff spell?

Anyone not going full pet build is likely using it. With vengeful spirit and the appropriate passives its a very strong AoE spell that will refresh pretty quickly

That plus the INT increase makes not a no brainer for most builds. It's a must have if you are using spirit barrage imo.

Of all the days for someone to break into my house and steal my laptop... fuck this. At least that was the only thing they stole. They even left my new headphone and the dongle, that where on the laptop.

No RoS for me tonight, unless I can find a backup machine :(
 
So has there been any news yet as to whether or not ladder is actually going to be implemented at launch? That's one of the few reasons I even considered getting the expansion.

I don't understand this at all.

This game has no economy, no functional pvpv and currently basically has no level cap. What in the world is the point of a ladder if nothing majorly unique is introduced to the system such as unique to ladder legendaries etc?

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
It would be nice to get another expansion in less than two years. Probably has no chance of happening though.

Now that they're not having to constantly rework things to make them slightly less shitty, I could actually see that happening.

Got an email at 7:39 am from Amazon saying my order didn't go through because my payment method was invalid. I preordered in December but in that time my bank issued me a new card due to the Target data breach. I put in my new card info at ~8:00am and now my CE, which was to arrive on 3/25, now won't get here until the 27th.

Target......!! (shakes fists)

This exact same thing just happened to me. I chatted with a customer service representative and he was able to upgrade me to free overnight shipping, so my copy will arrive on the 26th. It's not release day, but you might want to give that a shot if you haven't already.

Wow that is awful to hear, I am so sorry. Hopefully it all sorts itself out for you...even if you don't get to play today! :(

Playing crusader on the asian servers, pretty smooth so far. No worse than my pings to the US servers.

Seen more US and EU players than asian players. Could have just done a world wide release.

There's no AH anymore as well, so surely they can work towards letting us use our characters on any region now.
 
Blizz suggest, for the most seamless experience into Act V, that we plan it so we kill Diablo just after the RoS notice hits servers. Then you'll get the proper Act IV transition.

Going to wait just outside his room for the notice, personally.



GO GO GO!

Anddddddddddddddd stood in front of Diablo!

I would love to see "event patches" where they add new content (weapons, armor, tilesets, boss encounters, etc)... but I'm guessing since D3 isn't F2P (ie no real source of residual income) most things will be saved for an expansion.

Eh, it could be worse. I was not at home at the time, but part of my family was.

Our family restaurant has some deactivated cameras, and they thought my laptop recorded it, so they took it and some money. Nothing we can`t recover. The important thing is that nobody was hurt.

Borrowed an mac mini to use as a backup machine until I can get a new one. Hope it runs the game!

I just started diablo 3 a few days ago on wizard. Already level 24 and having a blast! How long will the extra 100% xp event last? And at what point do I want to start multiplayer? Pretty easy doing solo so far so I don't yet see the need for multiplayer.

So hyped to play! I get off work at midnight EST so hopefully there won't be a long queue to get on when I get home. I hope the next expansion adds the Druid. I remember seeing concept art before vanilla released of a Druid that got taken down off the site pretty quickly.
 
That wouldn't really make any sense, as all player characters in Diablo already are half-demons. That's what Nephalem are: half-demon, half-angel.
The rumors were more about his looks, more demon/Beast like than Human, Blizzard can come up with any valid reason for his origins.

Funnily enough, most of the "Yoshi is sick", "Yoshi needs a life" or Yoshi-hate in general comes from US GAF. Coincidence? I don't think so. Jealousy? I think so.

Whatever, people need to chill the fuck out and be more hype. People can't apparently hype video games on a video game forum.
 
The thing that would make ladder for me would be free trading. Now there wouldn't have to be an AH again mind you, but just having it so legendaries wouldn't be account-bound for ladder characters. And while no AH, some sort of in-game bazaar area where people could set up their own little shops and/or trade would be nice. I think PoE has something like that.

No hate, just scared :p

Yoshi scares me

But he used powerleveling tricks, so it's not "that" impressive. He's committed at least. That's something I cannot do. I cant focus on a game for days. I usually play 2-3 days if it's a big ARPG and then... go do something else.

How much was Diablo 3? How many acts and classes did it have? Even Blizzard was considering releasing RoS at $30, but just decided "fuck it, they'll pay more". This is what happens when your biggest franchise makes monthly revenue. Gotta make up for it somehow when releasing other titles that do not have monthly fees attached.

Yeah, I suppose. I can see it as a sort of tax for two years of continued support and updates for Diablo III (although many would call those fixes to a broken game).

I don't feel like $30 or $40 is a bad deal for what they're offering, personally. I know I'm going to get a lot more enjoyment out of the expansion than I will from most full-priced games.

Not sure why anyone would be jealous of someone that puts games before their health.

Powerleveling tricks? Did you fucking see the picture? Not even 1/5th of the time was being spent using "powerleveling" tricks. Calculate brother, calculate.

Join us on Mumble, right now. I want to talk to you for a bit.

Only to get to 60

He did the paragon leveling the legit way.

You can't help but be amazed at his dedication/sheer resilience

And Yoshi, I'm from Paris even though I live in Canada :p

I wish I could play as much as you do :( Also, maybe people don't understand your... passion? for games.

People can't fucking appreciate hype.

Some of you people are sickening me.
 
I still don't know if I'm going to level my Wizard ot WD first... I really like them both!

I think it's fine to play a game like crazy, I've done that before, just take care of yourself and try to sleep a bit...

I take it you never played ladder in D2? It's also rather premature to say that the game has no economy. Of course it doesn't yet. They just removed the AH.
 
Do Legendaries w/ unique procs still work if they're on a follower?

They certainly should, yes. The Windforce proc always worked on my Scoundrel, for example.

Level everything~!

Wizard then Crusader is probably my priority. We'll see. Well, if it's even playable tonight, anyway.

For me, I think I'm going to go Wiz --> DH --> Monk --> Crusader.

Barb never really grabbed me. WD...too soon.

But I have a test tomorrow!

I really hope the servers don't work... Who am I kidding I'd just play Hearthstone instead.

I'm trying to decide what I enjoy more, My Pet WD or my Frozen Orb Wiz.
