Holy shit I got in.

If they're going to force us to play through normal to start a hardcore character, then the least they can do is allow us to convert the first character we make to hardcore once we finish it. I for one was going to start on hardcore on day one =/.

Honestly? Fuck S.Korea, one country should not hold the game back for the rest of the world. They can easily work out the S.Korea details after the game is released elsewhere. I sincerely hope this isn't actually delaying the game for the rest of us.

I'd love the book, but don't have the cash to buy it for myself right now(Damn you Christmas!). Thanks.

Act 1 Tristram, Act 2 Caldeum, Act 3 Arreat Crater, Act 4 The High Heavens.

I'm sure if private servers can be created for mmos that modding diablo 3 shouldn't be a problem(a year after release that is).

1. I want to know the longest and shortest times depending on gameplay style (eg: rushing/exploring).

I'm not in the beta but I'm pretty sure the shortest time is 24 minutes. It was a wizard and theres a video on youtube.

Lol no, Force has a 14 minute playthrough start to finish.

That's a big + 1 and the OP is shut down. 'tis over

Can't really "shut someone down" in an subjective based argument. Just sayin'.

Wizard Build

My planned Wizard build(probably not my first character though). The plan is to gather up a group of mobs, cast arcane orb-> teleport in-> cast frost nova+mirror images-> reverse out cast blizzard and clean up with 20 yard spectral blades. Depending on how much arcane power the wizard has this should leave me with little arcane power when I get to the spectral blades phase, allowing my two arcane power passives to help me regen back to full. I take the damage talent because I have my images to tank for me and deal a little bit of damage on their own.

Demon Hunter Build

My planned Demon Hunter build(this will likely be my first character). The plan is to use impale(runestone i'm not settled on yet, depends on how high I can potentially get my crit) for massive single target damage combined with Marked for Death. For AoE I plan on gathering them up, running to the middle dropped a backup planned evasive fire+stun grenades and aoeing them down with a rocket multishot(with passive to complement it). Using a bat companion for hatred generation. Archery is a no-brainer(imo) with ballistics(again, a no-brainer for my rockets) and fundamentals to get my hatred back up when I happen to run out of it.

Monk Build

My planned Monk build. The plan is to stack as much bonus damage as possible through the use of Mantra of Conviction, Foresight on Deadly Reach, Guiding Light, and Blazing Wrath on Breath of Heaven. I'll use Serenity+Wave of light for my mass aoe damage, and seven sided strike+deadly reach for single target. I wish I knew if transcendence proc'd guiding light or not, but that will come with testing I suppose. I take The Guardian's Path because I plan to use a staff and with Beacon of Ytar I'm going to really need that bonus spirit generation.

All of these are obviously up for debate because I don't know how well these things actually work in game, just theorycrafting atm.

Barbarian Build

If I ever get around to making a barbarian this will be my build. Harpoon'd Ancient Spear to drag them into a staggered seismic slam, and whirlwind to finish them off. Have War Cry with Invigorate and Battle Rage with Marauder's rage for their super-duper awesome buffs. Frenzy will be my main source of single target damage as I absolutely loved my frenzy barb in d2.

That no longer degenerate fury passive seems to kind of defeat the purpose of it. Who wouldn't want to use that?

Here's a Skeleton King vid I just uploaded in 1080p. Spoilers obviously.

No ID on the pants makes me a sad man =/.

Pretty sure everyone wants a beta key. PoE actually looks really really interesting. I love how they're doing passive and active skills.

This doesn't affect me at all and I find it absolutely retarded. Hacks and Bots will find their way into the game regardless of the game being online only. Absolutely ridiculous that the game is going to be online only.

Quote from omgitsbees

Pretty hard to play a pirated game offline when there is no offline feature.

The game will be cracked and playable 4 weeks after release at most. Took only two weeks for crack groups to get past EA's online-only play with Assassin's Creed 2. It's laughable that you think the game won't be piratable.

Also, even in this day and age there are plenty of people without reliable internet.

Pretty much every state in the northwest aside from the ones on the coast has really terrible unreliable internet. My friend who lives just outside of Huntsville, Alabama(which is a major city) only has access to shitty low-end broadband internet that cuts out constantly(she only has access to this because the ISP has the area contracted for the next 10 years). I'm sure you can find situations like this all over the country. I have a couple buddies that live in the area between the Idaho and Utah border(Pocata I believe was the name of the city they live near) who are in the same situation described above. Hell, if you live in a densely populated city, your internet will be very unreliable, especially at primetime, simply because there's so many people clogging up the lines. When I lived in Ohio(I'm in Florida now) on off-peak hours my connection was 25-30 mb/s down 1 mb/s up, but when primetime would come around it would drop to 1-2 mb/s and my ping would skyrocket. Access to good internet in this country is still a luxury even if you can pay for it.

This was a post I made on another forum a couple days ago in regards to not EVERYONE having super highspeed super reliable internet. These are only a few examples, I'm sure there are plenty more.
