While I'm sure there will be many CE, there are also many ravenous fans. Personally it doesn't make sense to wait for a release date, when you're going to be spending the same amount of money anyway, and get it one the same day whether you know what that day is today, or next week. I'd get it before it runs out =D
haha yeah.. that makes total sense, and i usually would of preordered already.. but this time, ill be going overseas for Feb and im scared that it will be released in Feb.. even though the chances are slim ahha
I ordered mine on Sunday from amazon and payed express. The shipping ended up costing more than the book haha..
Keep in mind that many online book stores will tell u its in stock, however, they will only check and order it from their supplier when you have made the purchase. It is then when they realize that they are out of stock etc. Therefore, they are basically a middle man which is why i ended up sticking to amazonnnnn......
bz0r have you heard of anyone else getting these huge lag spikes?
yeah.. its actually not to do with ping i read up.. its more of a technical issue. Channeling spells are having problems. If you hold them down for too long.. it gets stuck.. and kills the game. You wont be able to do anything while u still see people walking around and stuff. So yeah.. no lag at all..
Anyways, quick thoughts on playing it last night:
So i couldnt wait to get off work yesterday to go home to play more some since ive only finished it with the wizard. Ended up finishing the beta again with the Barb, DH and Monk in about 3 hours.
It is a very well designed game and i can see the hours of fun people are going to have playing SP and MP.. however i did realized that people who arnt in the beta isnt missing too much. I have to admit that im already getting bored of it, knowing that there is no point of finding items, and there is no drive to keep playing since its just repetitive beta and you cant lvl past 13.
Also, although it is near completion, it does still feel like a beta and there are still a heap load of technical and bugs to be found.
I guess the main thing that the beta helped me with is to lower my hype and obsession about D3 a bit so when the game finally do come out, i will be amazed again.
Not trying to troll or anything but you realize that Battle.net in Diablo 3 has no latency in combat? So us Aussies can play as if we have local servers. I'm extremely surprised you didn't notice this immediately after playing the Beta.
Yea, i read already that there is no lag in combat, however, even if the combat move is calculated instantly and the monster dies instantly, there still can be slight lag for me to view it. Especially with loot dropping and loot pickup. Combat was good, that wasnt the problem, main problem were the random large lag spikes that i got.
Hey hey! so yesterday night i played my first D3 run!
i wont really go into detail how it went coz im sure everyones read a million reviews already so ill get straight into the latency issues.
PING RANGE: 200~300
Yesterday, I played Singleplayer first from about 7:30pm EST to 9:00pm EST. Overall i didnt feel any lag. Picking up items to killing monsters were pretty instant. Only towards the end, about 8:30pm, i had some small lag spikes which didnt make too much of a difference.
After that, i jumped into Multiplayer from about 9pm - 1am. At the beginning, it was much like Singleplayer with hardly any noticeable lag; even with a 4 player group. Killing monsters and picking up items were all very instant. However, it seemed as though the later i played, the more lagspikes i started to get. It was still playable and i was not too fussed about it.
However, overall in MP, i had about 10 huge lag spikes which was unrecoverable. It seems as though people could still hear me talk and i can see people walking around, but my character will fail to cast magic, or have a casting animation stuck. (electrocute and disintegrate).
Hopefully this is only because it is in beta stages and will not happen in the full game. It also wont be my PC lagging because my PC is tank.
So im from Australia and just got into the Beta, thanks to a friend that works there!
So i was wondering if anyone from Aus have any questions or things they would like me to test!
I will be playing a little tonight, and a lot more next week.
Im going to be starting with the Wizard!
