The 12-16 hours between when the game goes live and mt CE arrives is going to be awful.I should have added that! CE May 15 release day delivery from Amazon!
I have to show this to my GF.
Alright. Major work goes in starting this weekend. Until now, I've mostly been been prepping some text and gathering resources that I want to include or link to.
At the moment, I have a sort of collection of disparate things, but I'll really start putting them together in the next few days. Graphics I'll work on this weekend.
It will be up on the 8th!
Do people really believe that some supposedly perfect build (a la hammerdin) won't be discovered and overused in D3 just because there's a large number of raw combinations possible? People gravitate towards min/maxing any way they can.
I think I read that the whole get a character to 10 to unlock Hardcore was just for the beta. For release, I believe you'll still need to complete the game on Normal difficulty to unlock Hardcore.
The change to when Hardcore is unlocked is a change that, unless it is changed between now and release, will be the case in retail Diablo III.
Is better loot earned on hardcore mode or is it more or less just there so you are in constant fear of dying and losing everything?
Not terribly thrilled knowing my Amazon CE preorder won't get here till likely 20 hours after everyone else has been playing the game. Wish I could just send them a note to gently open my copy and e-mail me the code before sending it to me.
That was a contributing factor when I decided to just get the digital edition. None of the stuff in the CE is that spectacular anyway, but the thought of being 20 hours behind (as silly as it is) really did my head in.
The loot is the same from what I understand, what is different is HC characters do not have access to the real money AH.Is better loot earned on hardcore mode or is it more or less just there so you are in constant fear of dying and losing everything?
I don't think so...

So, rush to 10 is on!
damn i am now officially torn between physical and DD version
i bet if i go Physical my amazon copy would arrive like days after the 15th (too cheap to do the release day priority shipping or whatever) and on the other hand if i grab the DD it's more expensive already plus i woulnd't have a physical box, manual and i kinda like that stuff ugh what to do

A week... and Demon Hunter? Though, it'll probably be a group that does it.So, what is the over/under on how long it takes for the first level 60 HC? And what class will they be?

Don't think it'll be quite that fast...

This isn't going to be like WoW where there's going to be a semi-steady stream of new content. Inferno's going to have to last this game for a bit longer than MMO endgame stuff. At least, I would imagine it to work that way. Or perhaps they intend to channel some of that RMAH money back into new content.
Good point. Though I wonder how difficult Hell's going to be compared to DII's Hell (perhaps a little less so in order to accommodate for Inferno).

Yeah, Christ, I just checked how much Blizzard charges for the digital version. 60 fucking euros, that's $80!
Fuck it, I need this game bad. And waiting for a few more days will suck, but that's 30 euros more than I'm paying for a physical copy from Amazon.
Goddamn digital distribution. At the moment Valve (during sales) and GoG seem to be the only ones living up to its promises.

yeah tell me about it, now you swayed me towards amazon again damnit
it's just i KNOW my buddy who gets the DD one will already have leveled the SHIT out of his Barbarian when i won't even have the game yet, and that kinda drives me nuts cos i'll never catch up to him then which pretty much makes COOP retarded

Well, since there are no longer immunities (just high resistances), it'll be easier in that sense.Good point. Though I wonder how difficult Hell's going to be compared to DII's Hell (perhaps a little less so in order to accommodate for Inferno).
why not go to a midnight lanuch?
Well, since there are no longer immunities (just high resistances), it'll be easier in that sense.
However, champions & rare packs will now have 3-4 affixes, which depending on different combinations will probably be brutal.
We'll see... in 18 days. 18 days, still can't wrap my mind around that.
It's possible that Amazon will ship the game early to accommodate release date delivery for everyone across the US. Which means if you're on the West Coast, you might get it early
The client on the disc will be not encrypted I guess - this would lead to datamining and spoilers before rls.
Would it be a good idea to get my paypal account verified now if I plan to use the RMAH to sell things?
This is a good point. Why wouldn't Blizzard tell them to send the games out a few days early, since no one can play until the game unlocks at midnight PST anyway?
So what's the deal with different armor? I completed the open beta with each class and there only seemed to be one set(with a unique look, stats varied of course) for each class no matter what I picked up from enemies. No random pieces except for weapons. Is that the first armor tier out of 16, and the next different looking tier begins dropping at a higher level?
edit: Finally found a video that doesn't start from tier 2, so the answer seems to be yes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wc7aCV2Nvk
Anyone got a link to the Dark mod-comparison? The site where you had the option to see every filter?
The game looks so much better without any of those filters.
