completely soloable
The entire game can be beaten by a single player. It probably gets kind of hairy for a single player on the harder difficulty levels.

Wait... 4 players only? Why is this the first time I heard about that. Damn.

Oh they had cloud saves. It's just the format that TL saved it in was completely incompatible between platforms.
So I haven't heard anything, but is there going to be any kind of clan or guild support? Would be nice to have an easy way to see all of my friends online and have a global chat channel for all of us.
I know this isn't a true MMO, but something along the lines of WoW's guild system would be awesome.

Sorry for dumb question, but if I buy the non CE at gamestop, will I be able to preload the game?
FYI, it still requires you to be online for single player. Just in case you were asking about soloing because you were planning to play without a connection.
I'm not sure how/if the clan system will be implemented. But it has the same sort of messenger from SC2... in that you add your buddies to your friends list and then you can send the messages and (I think maybe) create chat rooms.
Solo is the only way to play Diablo! never share that loot!

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?
I dunno if you know about this but all the loot that drops is specifically for you in Diablo 3

All loot that drops is your own in Diablo III.
This is what I was getting at. I wasn't saying there should only be one, just that for me, I will only play one of these types of games at a time and Diablo III, for me at least, is the obvious choice.
I know. Still solo is the only way to go in any aRPG.

lol... Ok that's cool and all. But I'm pretty sure most people recognize Diablo as THE game to play coop.
I bought the game to play with friends. Screw solo.

Max can wait :3
IIRC the Pc version of Max Payne will launch june. At least two weeks of D3 before shooting people in the face.
Yeah I knew about that. It's not a big deal I'm almost always online anyway barring some big storm knocking my internet out. I just don't like playing with people if I can avoid it.

Goddammit Blizzard, can't you at least let me install it?

You should have no advantages for buying the digital version!
hahaha what?
I guess they did not want that to happen if there's a rare/unique drop considering that now you have the option to sell it on the AH.

Which is, incidentally, probably another reason not to allow involuntary duelling.

Ah, never thought of that.

Most people playing Diablo III aren't going to do this. I know I won't. I have plans to do something similar, but, I know I will probably put a hundred or so hours into and then want a break. Then, I will probably not have the stamina to put several hundred hours more.
So, I still plan to buy Torchlight 2 just to keep things interesting.
I don't see why they can't co-exist. I guess we won't know until we know just how many hardcore diablo III players there will be (by hardcore, I mean players who will basically only spend their time playing diablo III).
They can coexist. But for those of us with limited time and/or money and faced with the choice, we're going to pick Diablo 3.
Even for those who play both games, chances are they'd spend more time with D3.
Hate to break it to you buddy... sniff.
EDIT: v - D3 is a must. D3 + T2 > D3.

and nothing of importance was lost.
The real victim is Torchlight 2 for whenever it actually comes out.

I wouldn't go that far because I LOVED Torchlight and at the end of the day, it is still a good game.
BUT, Torchlight II's Day 1 Status is in jeopardy depending on when it is released. I'll still buy it no doubt, but it may wait for a Steam Sale now

Loved the first one but I'm not sure what rockstar did to Max and why he looks like fat trailer trash now.
I'm still excited for Torchlight 2, I just wish we would start hearing more about it. It feels like It's completely fallen off the map in terms of media, or news, or anything. 
I guess it is a bit blasphemous to say it, but it's nice to see that TL2 has some vibrant colours Diablo 3 will rule, but it's always so dark and dreary

Diablo 3 will rule, but it's always so dark and dreary Yes. It gets frustrating in laggy games because you get almost no good loot at all because of your lag, especially during boss runs when everyone is already crowded around the boss where the loot is going to drop.

Good to know. Tried to upgrade my Standard Edition pre-order at GameStop today and it was a no go. CRAP! Just a heads up to anyone looking to go that route. Oh well, still getting Diablo III!!!!

very much yes
Can you just cancel it and preorder through amazon or something?

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
It's actually anecdotes like that that make me very happy everyone gets their own loot in D3.

Never even thought of that. Well, back to GameStop I go. You sure Amazon is still accepting orders for the CE?
I just checked and these three still have them available. Amazon's out and they might have some more before release, but I wouldn't count on it.
Yeah looked at Amazon's listing, seems they are out. There is a couple there already marked up by people taking advantage of the demand. 340 and 380 dollars, sheesh.
I thought the same thing when I first saw that skill.
Look like it was raining blueberry slushy everywhere haha.
