I'm supposed to be studying for my Con Law final on monday, and I am giving less and less of a crap about it. D3 is overcoming my brain.

The walls a Waller makes are solid and block ranged attacks. It's quite a devious affix for both melee and ranged characters.

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?
Nope!

I think you'll like the OT even more.
Right now I'm focused on just getting the bare minimum I need to have it presentable for Tuesday. In the worst case, it will be up a day or two late. With that accomplished, I'll work on polish, and will be updating it until release and beyond.
The going is a bit slow at times - it's difficult to concentrate on the writing aspect for more than a couple hours at a time without becoming fatigued. Graphics are easy enough for me, but they're a secondary priority at the moment.

I can't wait to see it. I'm actually anticipating the new thread quite a bit!
I would hope so. There's already been GIF's with pretty big spoilers (if you know the lore) in this thread, and I'd imagine it will get worse as more of these trailers come out.

Cannot wait. An epic OT for the game of the ages.

Think Ive decided on a class. Going to roll a witch doctor. Kinda came out of nowhere.

Ok.
I don't understand this need to choose one class. Why not just play everything?
I imagine most people will end up with multiple 60's, it's that first class you first see the story with that will be the real choice for most people.
Still undecided on Wizard or Barb here, I might even go monk now with the updated animations.

Well you have to at least choose one to play first!
It's be weird to play through the story with parallel characters advancing one act at a time or something.
Time being limited, it's easier to play one character to 60 (and then inferno) instead of multiples. I'll only have to equip one character as well, which should be better for my wallet (hopefully not impacting my wallet at all after I sell things in the auction house to pay for stuff my character can actually use).
Is there going to be a trading thread? It would be great (especially at the lower levels, before the RM auction house is out) if we could all be like "I've got +int boots, anyone have +dex boots?" and just trade instead of incurring the 15% fee.
You click stuff and kill it. Its pretty easy. The depth comes from the crazy loot and trying to play on higher difficulties.

I don't know if there will be a dedicated traded thread, at least I didn't have any plans for one. Perhaps if the need arises, otherwise I'm fine with requests in or tacked on to posts in the OT, so long as it doesn't become overwhelming to other discussion.
The current spoiler tags policy I have written in place is until May 29 (2 weeks after release) or |OT2|, whichever comes first, excepting OT2 being reached ludicrously early. Even then, I make it clear that it's only for major story spoilers like act bosses and important plot developments. Smaller things like side-quests do not need to be tagged. If no one else makes a dedicated spoiler thread, I will, though it would probably only have a banner image at most.
Perfectly accessible. It's probably the best place you could start.
Extremely ugly wallpapers.

I don't know if this was well known before, but I just found out today that in order to cash out with Paypal you'll need an active cell phone with text ability. Dreams crushed here. /cry
At the bottom:
And yes I'm probably Amish for not having a cell, but I've never needed anything more then my land-line phone so never got one. Also probably wont be worth getting a cheap one just to have to pay XX amount per month so I can make a few bucks and hopefully break even for it with D3 money.

Huh. I glossed over that detail before. I'll make sure to mention it in the OT, even though the RMAH won't be going live until about a week after launch.
And you could always get a cheap prepaid cellphone. I don't know how you've never needed, or at least thought a cell phone wouldn't be useful in this day and age, even a cheap prepaid like I already mentioned. I still have an old Samsung from 2003 or 2004, though I would like to finally get an iPhone (5!) sometime this year.

Buckling under the pressure and now I want the CE. And going through withdrawals. Why does this happen to the good people1!?

You can camp the Amazon page and hope one becomes available (happened a few times the other day) or pay out the ass on Ebay.

Since there is none ... I had a look at the guide and found
"Wirt's cowbell"
I saw this too =D
Didn't someone say something about a pre-paid phone not working with the text alerts? I can't remember exactly (it's on a previous page somewhere).
My alerts are all set up and ready to go whenever the RMAH comes out.

It doesn't say so explicitly in the FAQ, at least as far as I can tell. I'll do some forum digging though before writing about it.

Seriously. It's bringing the glory days back for me so far. I've had a long hiatus from Blizzard, as I hated WoW and though I liked SC2 it didn't really light the fire.
That open beta took me back. They still get it. Amen.

I'm no official word or anything but it seems others from what I've read have not been able to use there pre-paid cellphones either, it's looking like you need a contract planned phone and not a prepaid one in order to use the RMAH.

Is this the right thread for finding the cheapest UK Diablo 3?
Probably the most hype I have had for a game since Street Fighter 2 was coming to SNES.

Interesting that South East Asia was lumped into the Americas region. I hope they'll accommodate the servers so we don't have too high pings (which seems to be OK judging from the beta).
Also means I'll get to play with GAF people so should be pretty good

I....don't understand? The wallpapers are amazingly well done art. Sure, you could cut a roast with the Wizards face, but nobody said every wizard in Sanctuary had to be a pretty man.

I can't even sleep anymore... stayed in bed for 30 minutes, thinking of this fucking game.
Now I'm awake, and I'm listening to the Tristram theme... fuck my life.

Youtube search: "diablo 3, today" is the only thing that keeps me entertianed.
Damn this wait!
