So, Diablo 3

[Razor]

So apparently some Koreans beat the game already. In what, 2 hours?

I'm sure you must be exaggerating that figure somewhat, based on the beta alone that doesn't seem even remotely feasible.

Also I got my collector's edition today! Can't wait for this **** to kick off. 4 hours, 45 minutes to go! I have it installed.

My body is ready.

Man, I should've got a digital copy of the game. Mine still haven't popped up in the mailbox yet.

And diablo 3 seem to work like star craft 2, you have an account linked to your battle net account. And when playing the game you need to log in with said battle net account. Can't play the game otherwise. Also, your characters are stored on your account and not locally so that's a plus I guess...  Sure it solves some problems but forces you to have good internets and well - internets.

Does it still have the no-40 days of play bye-bye to character?

Haven't been up 40 days so I'm unsure. But I doubt they kept that seeing how they limited the max amount of characters that can be created on one account. Pretty sure the max character limit in Diablo 2 were 50 or higher.

[Meiscool]

8. You could have 8 on one account at a time, and that was with the expansions too.

I did make two accounts though... so maybe 50 characters is the total max for one battle net account. Who knows.


Edit: BTW, anyone having 37 times more fun than they thought they would?

Ha!

So it took from around 6pm to 4am, but I got most of the way through Act 2. I wasn't rushing, but that 2 hour claim is totes BS. Apparently the original claim was 6 hours, and 2 was some /v/ troll ****, but even 6 hours seems hard to believe. On the other hand, Koreans.

[Archem]

Not even the full six hours. Closer to five-and-a-half, even.

God damn Koreans.

So I started playing and got pretty far. Then after 4 hour playtime I realized that I couldn't see my friends on the friend list. Turns out that the game's region was set to "The Americas" by default since the weekend beta. So I had to start myself a new character on the european servers and forget that I spent all that money and time raising my character and the blacksmith...

Wizards are cool though. Also, activate the advanced tooltips in the options so that you can actually read what skills does. Donno why it isn't on by default.

Wizard is pretty damn powerful, I love it. Probably my first hardcore character when I get to it.

Yeah and even more so once I realised that my weapon damage affected the damage of spells. No longer do you have to feel ashamed for wielding a 2 handed weapon or a sword with shield. Playing one right now, great Aoe and the frost armor makes a lot of enemies easier.

Some of my achievements are bugged though. I got the blacksmith at lvl 4 now but don't have the achievement for recruiting him or upgrading him. Might be solved later or I'll have to disturb blizzard with my important issue.

Just beat the first act currently at lvl 17, and you can supposedly clear the game in 4 hours. Since there are achievements for each act about completing named act in 1 hour.

[Razor]

Yeah I noticed the achievements are acting up. I've lost the achievement for leveling him up, as well as the achievements for finishing the last 3 quests of Act 1 and all the quests so far for Act 2. GG Blizzard!

Had the day off today and spent it all playing diablo 3. Found a legendary bow and therefore started a demon hunter that I got up to lvl 12. Pretty fun class that one.

Then I kept playing my wizard and found a cool mage hat, man. That hat is all awesome. Still haven't found any purple dye to make the avatar complete though. Also some new off hand items for the wizard such as a tome that's hovering above your hand and three small orbs. Just beat the second act at lvl 24, Hard boss at the end that one. Had to swap around my skills for more survivability. And remove the "glass cannon" passive.
Loving this game.

Totes.
