The only pre-order item I have seen for the disc version are the Infernal Pauldrons.

No, but the Ultimate Evil Edition is $40 on PS3 and Xbox 360, instead of $60. It uses the same saves, you just use the new disc instead of the old one. (Or if digital, you launch UEE instead of the old version.) Effectively you're paying the same $40 that RoS costs on PC.
When I pre-ordered it said the 17th for pre-load. did not get any email notice saying it changed.
You could just link that, you know?

Reaching level 60 is just starting out. I've put well over 500 hrs into D3 on my PC. Probably more, I haven't checked my playtime in a while. But its the perfect pick up and play game, especially once you unlock Adventure Mode.
Thx. Guess I would lean towards DH. Like ranged typed characters. Imagine that class can wield swords, etc as well.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
You can pick up and play this game once you beat it initially, the whole point is to sink time in for the better loot. Not all at once but over time I do it off and off.
Considering what you asked about ranged melee mix imo I'd go crusader, demon hunter, or wizard and look up certain builds to get the mix you want.
If you don't want to spend a lot of time learn to powerlevel and powergrind cause the game just isn't as great until you get 70 and paragons. First run take it easy with characters after that just crank the difficulty till your mob or elite clearing speed goes way down.
Eurogamer updates their article about the file size of the EU PSN version:
"The original Sony listing is an error - the actual size of the game client which is also comprised of the language files for the game in English, French, German and Italian, is 37.8 GB.
"When players actually download the game they will get the game and the language file of their choice, which will come in at around 16GB."

Sorry if this is mentioned but in local coop is this version finally using spliscreen inventory management? It is the one thing I hated in the ps3 version , having to wait on eachother constantly to be done with inventory stuff because it would take up the whole screen, Where as in Baldurs gate and EQ on the ps2 you would be able to do this at the same time. using a split screen inventory.
Ah, good.

Crusader looks and sounds like a pure melee, but it's sort of a mix. I didn't realize that at first. A lot of the abilities have some range to them. For example Holy Shotgun and Firestarter builds both focus on abilities that have range to them. Holy Shotgun could be considered close to medium range, because the highest dmg is right in front of your where the 3 beams can hit one target, but with Firestarter you're casting a spell that can hit enemies on the edge of the screen. Crusaders get the same across the board damage reduction that monks and barbarians get though, so you'll probably find them a little less squishy than the purely ranged characters.

Witch Doctor is a lot of fun to play too.
Crusaders are like the top of diablo in terms of power right next to the witch doctor. He's tanky as fuck and his burst is incredible till you hit the Greater Rifters at about mid 20s. In the current live in t6 they can basically melt mobs and elites with a few hits.
The only ranged character who needs to totally worry about getting sacked by people is the wizard. While this is an issue early on for a demon hunter once you get your pets mobs can be distracted by them easily so you don't worry about the squish same applies to witch doctor.
Just speaking from experience I've had myself, with gaffers, or clanmmates.
nemss I totally agree and has plenty of build diversity

I don't know why, but I want the ps4 version so bad. I played more than 100 hours on Pc... I am so weak
If you put the longer cooldown abilities on the L2/R2 buttons then you won't have to use the backtouch all that often.
If I remember correctly d-pad left wasn't used at all in Diablo 3 and skills were on the face buttons, R1 and R2 while L2 was used for the non important lock on target feature. So d-pad left could be a good substitute for the skill slot that would be on R2 and no need to use touch for the missing triggers. I hope you can map the controls like that. L3/R3 didn't do anything useful either. So hopefully there won't be any problems with the controls on the Vita.
No but there's really no reason to fear it being region locked. This doesn't work like the PC version, which has separate servers for each region.
Probably posting that from his phone
Correct.
I just don't know which class I should start out with... Going in on a clean slate.

Don't worry. Couch coop in this game is awesome.

Don't they let you adjust specific sound levels (music/voice/atmosphere etc) like in the PC version?

because you get to play Last of us dungeon and Shadow of the colossus costume to experience it in new way with couch play.

I think it does, through remote play. Haven't seen it confirmed yet, but I would assume it does work for local multiplayer.
Something somebody mentioned in another thread was quite apt. I also think it's a better way of looking at the game for fans of Diablo 2. The game is a lot more like Marvel Ultimate Alliance on steroids than something like a Diablo title. If you enjoyed couch co-op on MUA then you'll love D3 since it's the same, but much better. Having D2 on your mind while playing D3 is much more a burden than benefit!
You only need to complete the campaign once then any character can jump right into adventure mode.

It will cast at the targeted monster (in the direction you're looking) and that monster is the center of the ability. Unless they changed that from vanilla D3, that's how you cast ranged aoes. You can't cherry pick out of the pile, just the first one.
Ok, I thought so. Thanks for the confirmation.

Mr. Community
Anyone else going to be playing HC?
Thank you been watching for a while the game looks great. The performance seems pretty damn good.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Hi,
just wanted to make a small correction to OP
Diablo 3 on PS3/360 ran at 60FPS, quite solidly at most times. They did not "struggle to maintain 30".

Yeah, the performance was pretty damn remarkable at times considering how much was happening on-screen.
The real drawback to previous gen console versions was the sub-HD resolutions. IQ was pretty damn bad. Playable, but noticeably bad when you mixed it up with playing other games.
Man, last weekend I had myself convinced that this game was coming out this (now past) tuesday. Imagine my disappointment when I looked at amazon the other day and realized I had to wait another week . I've already got D3 + RoS on PC but...I get so tired of sitting in front of a PC. I want to play on the couch ASAP. Hurry up tuesday!
. I've already got D3 + RoS on PC but...I get so tired of sitting in front of a PC. I want to play on the couch ASAP. Hurry up tuesday!Not really at all especially in multiplayer where it can drop in the single digits. Even in single player I can get it to drop into the low teens with just a couple of blizzards and explosive blast in an area with density. Hell on my exp runs I can get it so the game won't even show my blizzards to try and keep the frame rate up it is still in the teens. Sure walking around town or not many monsters around it ran fine. I got well over 1k hours into the game and can say with certainty the performance sucks on the PS3 digital version.
