Finished the game on Normal. It was awesome. Look forward to do Nightmare and the rest.

Singh400 that video was great....really great, it perfectly exemplifies what's happened....

Love this game. I liked the beta but was a little unsure about the game itself Bought the collector's edition, braved the server issues, and loving every minute of it.

The only thing is that my CE content is bugged. It shows up on EU and Asia, but it doesn't show up on the Americas server. Tried making a new character and everything, had a support ticket opened since day one and no response yet. Hopefully they fix it. My portrait for SC2 from the D3 CE hasn't showed up on my account either.

But yeah, loving every minute of my barbarian.

Edit: Kind of amused by how people are getting around the difficulty of Inferno mode. Method at least is having other people farm hell for them and give them gear/mats so they can get through it faster instead of gear farming. It's kind of impressive to watch them though.

[Razorwing]

Does anyone think that

Even though Diablo took the form of a girl, his final form should been his old figure? I find it quite annoying that he has a face of the devil and a female (hourglass) body. I'd thought he'd return to his old Diablo form.

I noticed some of ya'll were discussing hawkman items he showed us, the reason in the difference is the one item has +damage and the other doesn't. At the lower levels +dmg is better than just about anything else (and may apply all the way to 60). I had a 36.1dps 1h axe, added in a Ruby (red gems) that was +8-16 damage and it jumped to a 50dps weapon. Increased my total dps by nearly 85. +damage is an awesome stat and I would always use a weapon with socket(s) with Rubys in them to increase your output.

No, the point was that the comparative tooltipe damage value is wrong when I have the one handed wand and book equipped and I'm hovering on the 2 handed staff.

Just want to thank both Wingz and curme for the guest pass. Only used one so have the other available. Going to give it a spin tonight for a bit to get my bearings then run through with a friend. Looking forward to it!

I'm doing 1025.38 DPS now at level 38 with 2216 armour (excluding buffs). You're right, +damage items are really good. The next thing you want for really high damage output is armour items that boost your main attribute (e.g dexterity for monks and demon hunters, strength for barbarians, etc). It's the reason why my damage is so high. I use a ruby gem for two 1-handed weapons and emerald gems (which boost dexterity) for just about everything else. My armour looks really ugly right now but it's necessary because nightmare mode gets progressively harder.

I thought his faced looked very demonic but his body definitely looked feminine. Even the way he walked in that heaven cutscene, he had the walk of a runway model.

I know, Diablo always had a demonic face ever since D1.it's just I'd thought Diablo would get his old body back.and not inherit Leah's femine form. As they say, the Gods choose whatever form they want. And for some reason Diablo chose female. Remember the Host and the 'real' form can be different.

[Dark Ride]

I got two questions:

1) How/where do you see your DPS meter?

2) If I buy Diablo 3 (EU version), can I make characters on the US servers too?

[leedogg]

So what is a guest pass for anyway?

[DrunkenBeard]

^ It's a key that you can use to try out the game before purchasing it. I'm not getting my hopes up but I'd be glad if anyone could send a guest pass my way. Thanks.

[goofyinthehead]

meh. I'm still going to wait and see how quickly the game ends for people, how fun it really is, how the servers handle the loads.

For $60.00 bucks I want to be able to play for a long time and have it fresh whenever I play.

[Tech085]

I will tell you exactly what it is for, If you provide me a CS:GO beta key, So I can play the beta :)

[DKAngel]

im starting to get sick of these constant mainenance offline crap, i want to bloody play and because there servers are down i cant play my goddamn game that i paid for

subj: Game progression

Crap! My level 18 hardcore monk has just died after several hours invested in this toon! I must admit, I was a bit reckless there )

And this accident made me seriously think about the end-game and the game progression.

Should I start another hardcore toon and go with much more care OR should I continue my normal lvl 35 char who is on nightmare difficulty right now and then progress to hell?

How much is hardcore toon / hell difficulty loot better than normal char / hell difficulty?

[Osiris]

[hjf288]

Hell is ridiculous.. my level 54 Demon hunter keeps getting ravaged whenever I come across elite/champion mobs...

In your inventory screen in the attributes block.

Yes, global pay. However the US servers are laggy, suffered from frequent high latency periods and frequent maintenance downtimes.

I haven't had that issue - didn't yesterday (barb and wizard) and didn't this morning (monk). Both barb and monk gave Leoric a good crowning on Normal.

Question - is there a Gateway in the Royal Crypt in the normal game (as opposed to the Starter Edition)? After giving the Skeleton King his whacking, there's no Gateway (exit) *out* from there - rather weird.

[nominak]

How much is hardcore toon / hell difficulty loot better than normal char / hell difficulty?

My understanding is that loot isn't any better in Hardcore. The only difference is that once you die, that's it.
