My antivirus program said something.
I dunno. Barbs hit thing damn hard and they go flying across the screen. Monks punch things and they explode. Never get bored of seeing some hapless monsters flying to the moon after some skull-crushing blows lands.
"We KNEW that no matter how good we are, our players are going to be better." -- Hope renewed that Inferno will actually be hard! Got disappointed at the lowball stats for it. Getting hyped for my planned Monk/Wizard duoing through Inferno.
Do not worry, even if ONE or TWO groups manage to take down Inferno, we will have people in here claiming that Blizzard is a bunch of untalented liars who could not even predict that, and the game is not difficult at all
Did anyone try the beta/know someone who tried the beta with a 3 year old macbook pro? My buddy wants to know if itll run the game. My guess is he'll get a decent fps if he puts everything on low at 720p. Don't remember the specs though, althought I believe the graphics card was a nvidia 9600gt.
My old MBP runs it fine with everything on low and it's more than 3 years old at this point. Maybe more like 4 or 5?
Yea one cool thing about the game is how they can fly 'into' your screen like where you see a leg take up half of your view space for a second.
I know what some boss enrage timers are, but to save spoilers I'll transpose it onto the Skeleton King. So, as an imaginary example, in Inferno if you don't kill the Skeleton King within four minutes he starts spawning three times the amount of skeletons. That creates a much tougher situation, but it's one you could very well handle if played right.
People kiting the Skeleton King around for an hour with their level 3 characters is fun to see. It's not fun when it's level 60's at end game and item drops matter. To make these kills and thus a character's progression matter we need to try to fight cheesy tactics that allow people to just flop through the game.
Some clarification on enrage timers by Bashiok:

too bad can't play it though lolNot me
Dungeons may have 25 rooms but those are pooled from 75-100 rooms.

That's cute, but they should hook up with Steam some day... though not sure if it would make any sense to do that in their situation.
BIG WOOP. I HAVE THE GAME ON MY PC ALREADY.
I'll go back to my corner now.
Jeez guys just give me a few seconds before complaining, i didn't thought it was that big...
Seriously, with the servers being locked it's like seeing cavemen brag about the wheel when we've had the wheel ready to go for weeks now.
Probably not. Blizzard is big enough and Battle.net so integrated into the product that there's no reason for them to surrender that big cut to Valve.
Not to mention that the cart won't be delivered for another week, so all you've got is a useless wheel.
Gah I hate the 'hype' feeling you get before a big game comes out. No matter what you play it just doesn't satisfy the gaming itch you think you'll get with the upcoming big game. Sure you try, hell you try your best for an hour or so. Only to quit and stare at the date.
Worst bit? Two days before the games actually comes out you get hooked on some game you left alone for too long. You actually enjoy it for two days, but then the game hits and you almost never play that old game again.
I hate that feel :<

I want to be able to move my character with WASD... Think that's possible :/
I've never gotten into this kinda game before (never played D2) so I started warming up with Titan Quest (which is awesome). But good lord does clicking to move everywhere suck so much bawlz.
You know you can hold down the left click, you don't have to spam it just to walk places.
Yeah, I know.
But that coupled with having to click on enemies to attack and stuff. Makes me feel like I need to have pinpoint accuracy with my mouse to hit the enemy I'd like to hit.
There is a bit more focus on AoE attacks, so the exact clicking is not needed but for the bosses, they will be big enough that you can click them with ease.
Gentlemen...Time to Start Your Clicky Fingers!
Waking up to this? Best thing ever.New video with Jay Wilson talking inferno is up:

I don't think Diablo 3 is the game for you.
WADS-movement is possible and some people love it.

I highly doubt it will be much harder than hell baal runs (read: easy) in the end which makes all the press around Inferno quite funny, I'm probably wrong though.
I think that's how a lot of old D2 players feel about it.. overhyped difficulty level. But we'll know in a week, won't we? The fact you're capped at 60, and Inferno starts at 60+ is already a pretty decent sign.
Rather than just clearing inferno, I wonder when players will be capable of farming Inferno solo.. or if it will ever be possible at all. Some of the mob abilities and AI that have been described make it sound like no one will be clearing it solo.
